Chapter 296
Sheena scoffed. Since Elijah was being stubborn and asking for trouble, she would take advantage of the situation!
Sheena seized the folded ends of the belt and suddenly pulled it tight, producing a crisp snap.
Elijah remained motionless, teeth clenched, prepared for the imminent pain.
Sheena wanted to teach Elijah a lesson, and also to tease him. She smirked as she said, Wearing a shirt isn’t thrilling. Tearing it means buying a new one. Plus, with a layer of fabric in between, the sensation won’t be that intense, will it?
Elijah gulped nervously and immediately cooperated. He undid the buttons and swiftly tossed the thin shirt elegantly onto the coffee table. Maintaining his posture, he stood upright, waiting for her to strike.
Sheena stood calmly behind him, quietly appreciating the view. Despite the effects of the modified drug, it did not alter his physique. If anything, his skin seemed a shade whiter, enhancing his naturally broad back muscles with clear and perfect contours.
The mere sight of it was indeed a treat to the eyes.
After the admiration, Sheena used the folded end of the belt, gently gliding it over each muscle line on his back.
Slowly and patiently…
Elijah could not help but shiver slightly. Sheena was intentionally teasing him!
It left him a bit uncomfortable, ticklish in an unbearable way.
Then, Sheena loosened the belt’s end, gripping the metallic buckle tightly. She raised it high and swung it with all her might.
The belt sliced through the air, whistling as it approached.
Elijah tightly shut his eyes, his entire body reflexively trembling as he heard the sound.
Yet… it did not hurt.
Sheena had aimed at the marble floor. Tossing the belt aside, she chuckled. She thought he was tough, but all he did was tremble. Even if he were a masochist, she was not an unreasonable sadist.
“You’re such a coward!”
“Put on your clothes. Since you refuse to sign, then stay here until you change your mind,” Sheena said coldly, then turned to leave.
Elijah quickly got up, turning to grab her wrist. “It’s already late. Where are you going?
“I don’t like it here, so I’ll find another place to stay.”
Her reply seemed casual, but the indifference was merciless.
Elijah held onto her wrist tightly. By the sounds of it, she was not planning on returning to Ocean Avenue, leaving him alone here.

Was she trying to force him to sign using this method?
“Let go.”
Sheena frowned, mercilessly breaking free from his grip.
Elijah hesitated but eventually conceded.
“Just one year! You spent three years cooking for me before. I’ll repay it in one year. Once my debts are fully settled, I’ll leave voluntarily and never disturb you again. Is that enough?”
“Really?” Sheena confirmed, “You’ll leave me forever?”
Elijah was unwilling, but even so, he still replied, “Yes, I said it, and I’ll do it.”
“Good.” She raised an eyebrow, recording his recent promise with her phone. “Remember what you said.”
Elijah nodded weakly. After a moment, he spoke, “Dinner is still warm. Do you want some?”
Sheena did not refuse. Since it was the final year, she would follow the agreement and do what needed to be done. Elijah’s cooking had improved significantly. Sheena ate heartily, then went to the study to handle some work before returning to her room to shower and rest.
The next morning, she went to Angle Group as usual. Before she could even leave the gates of Ocean Avenue, a group of police approached her, and the lead officer showed her his identification.
“Hello, Ms. Sheena. I’m Captain Maurice Kline from Farlem Police Department, Division
Three. You’ve been accused of trespassing into a residence, intentionally causing harm, and willful damage to private property. Please come with us.”
