Chapter 524
Elliot had sacrificed so much for her, and she did not want to let him down, nor did she want him to
misunderstand her.
Nathaniel’s smile vanished from his face. He stood there in stunned silence, seemingly not expecting Sheena to decisively reject him.
“Well, it seems you and I can’t come to an agreement. Goodbye!” Sheena placed the receiver down and left without another glance.
Nathaniel, full of shock, gradually succumbed to madness. He abruptly stood up, wildly pounding on the soundproof glass, the metallic handcuffs making a clattering sound.
“Sheena! Come back! Don’t you want to know about his illness? He won’t live much longer! He’s doomed, Sheena! Is a short–lived guy really worth your effort? I’m the most suitable man to marry you!”
Prison guards quickly intervened, swiftly subduing the frenzied Nathaniel. His head was forced to the ground, and suddenly, a fit of maniacal laughter erupted.
“Sheena! You’ll come back to me sooner or later! You can only be mine in this lifetime!”
Nonetheless, the soundproof glass did its job exceptionally well, and Sheena remained oblivious to his screams, never turning back.
She sighed softly. Another avenue to learn about Elliot’s health was closed.
Perhaps, she thought, there was only one last method to try.
In the afternoon, at the Jenkins Group, a monthly board meeting was underway in the afternoon, and Elliot had been in the conference room for half an hour.
Lionel, tasked with fetching an important document, was about to return to the meeting room when a slender figure blocked him in the corridor.
Seeing Sheena, he felt a pang of anxiety.
“Ms. Sheena, is there something you need? Uh, if you’re looking for Mr. Jenkins, you might have to wait a bit. He’s still in the meeting. I need to get back to him. Excuse me.”
Lowering his hearin od bowing several times, Lionel attempted to maneuver around Sheena. However, with his and graceful determination, Sheena stepped to the right, blocking his path again.
“Lionel, this
time I’ll come to you about this matter. If you’re still unwilling to reveal even a
hint, I won’t disturb your work anymore.”
“I really don’t know anything. Please spare me,” Lionel pleaded, lowering his head even further, then turned and walked away, choosing a detour to the conference room.

Sheena watched his uneasy figure and suddenly spoke, “Today, I went to see Nathaniel. He claims to know, but he has conditions. He wants me to marry him before telling me the truth.”

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
