Chapter 276
Elijah’s gaze grew colder. “My mom canceled our engagement when I left Farlem, and we no longer have anything to do with each other.”
If it were not for the public setting, Elijah would have loved to expose Jennifer’s lie, skin her alive, and drain her of every drop of blood!
After all, not only did Jennifer falsely claim to be his savior when Sheena was the actual one, but she also tried to bring harm to Sheena multiple times. And now, she was suddenly brought out again, likely to worsen his relationship with Sheena.
That was simply infuriating!
Skye, standing nearby, clicked his tongue and whispered into Sheena’s ear, “Sheena, did you hear that? What a scumbag! He loves intensely when he does, but he’s more heartless than anyone when he doesn’t. Luckily, you divorced him in time!”
Sheena pursed her lips, choosing not to respond as she stared intensely at Elijah not far away.
“Eli! How can you treat me like this? I love you so much…”
Initially filled with hope upon being released from prison, Jennifer’s despair and resentment peaked as she faced Elijah’s icy and heartless expression.
Elijah’s expression remained unchanged. Ignoring the whispers of the onlookers, he spoke. decisively, “Jennifer, let me make it clear one last time. The one I’ve loved and will always love is Sheena. Whether in the past, right now, or in the future. Since you’ve been sentenced, you should stay in prison and atone for your sins!”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and contacted Lionel.
Unbeknownst to him, his words completely unleashed Jennifer’s emotions. She clutched her head and screamed frantically, her voice sharp and piercing, full of despair and terror.
“I only loved you! What sins have I committed? It’s all because of this bitch! She stole you from me! If it weren’t for her, we would have been together long ago, and none of this would have happened! She caused me to be thrown into prison, and I won’t let her get away with it. I’ll kill her!”
Jennifer glared at Sheena with a murderous gaze. From her sleeve, she retrieved a knife she had prepared in advance and swiftly charged toward Sheena.
“I’ll kill you, bitch! Go to hell!”
Sheena, calm and composed, watched the approaching frenzied woman. Skye and Elijah were the first to stand before Sheena, swiftly followed by Ford, Paul, John, and Sawyer, who entered the banquet hall.
Jennifer did not even get close to Sheena before several bodyguards restrained her. Despite being held back, she snarled and threatened from a distance, “Bitch, just you wait! Even in death, I won’t let you off! Do you think I’m the only one who hates you? There are plenty out there eager to take you down! Even if I can’t kill you, someone else will! I’ll be waiting for that day!”
Hearing her words, Sheena immediately realized that Jennifer seemed to know something. Ford turned to Sheena, asking, “Miss, how should we handle this?”
“Evacuate the crowd, let the gala continue, and take Jennifer away!”
Hearing she was to be taken away, Jennifer struggled violently. “Ah! You bitch! You ruined my life, and now you want to take me back to torment me further? I won’t go! I’d rather die!”
Seeing that Sheena’s bodyguards were formidable, Bethany quickly chimed in, “Sheena, she’s a fugitive. She should be handed over to the police. You can’t take her away, let alone punish her as you please!”
Some people chimed in, “Exactly! It’s a civilized society now. Your people aren’t from the police. Why should you take her away?”
“That’s right! You can’t take her away. Someone hurry up and notify the police and let them handle this justly!”
The crowd became chaotic, with no intention of dispersing. Instead, they gathered more closely. Sheena surveyed the crowd, finally locking eyes with the arrogant Bethany.
Was this a prearranged act to set the stage for today’s drama?
‘Interesting,‘ she thought.
