Chapter 314
Elijah glanced irritably at the minor scrape on his right arm. It was just a superficial scrape, nothing serious. Yet, it seemed Sheena was still upset.
While driving in the front seat, John thought the atmosphere was too tense and
uncomfortable.
Elijah seemed oblivious and explained earnestly, “After the charity gala last time, I had Logan keep an eye on Jennifer. So tonight, I followed her trail, not for a date with her. There’s no past romance between us. I just wanted to extract some information from her and help you find out who was behind the attack.”
Sheena remained silent, lost in thought about Nathaniel.
From a young age, Sheena had admired Nathaniel, following him around like an eager little girl. However, something unpleasant happened between them later on. Nathaniel joined the Special Investigation Department for training, and Sheena, after another year, found herself in Farlem after a series of unfortunate events.
However, Nathaniel felt like a stranger now, and something about him seemed off.
Sheena was deeply absorbed in her thoughts while Elijah observed her quietly.
They soon arrived at the mansion.
Sheena walked toward the entrance and suddenly turned back to Elijah, remembering something.
“If you’re recovering well, go back to the Freeman Group to work. The deadline for your previous order hasn’t passed yet.”
“Got it.”
Elijah followed her into the house. Once in his room, his expression gradually turned cold. Nathaniel was simply too audacious, and today’s events clearly indicated he had people. following them, ruining his plans at a critical moment.
Unable to let this offense slide, Elijah immediately sent a command to Lionel through his phone.
The next few days remained quiet.
After Sheena had her breakfast, Elijah washed the dishes. Then, they went to the Freeman Group together.
Jennifer’s matter was considered resolved for now, and Sheena’s next target was set on the Carver Group.
Her money had lingered in the Carver family’s pockets for too long, and it was time to reclaim it slowly. Though the Carver Group’s reputation and market value did not match the Freeman Group, they were still leaders in Farlem’s real estate and construction industry.
With Sheena’s previous acquisition of 1.2 billion dollars in Freeman Group shares now in Bethany’s possession, the Carver Group had not suffered significant damage.
Sheena called for Sarah and worked with her to develop a new plan.
Meanwhile, Elijah discreetly left his post at the Laxine construction area and went to a reserved private room to meet Nathaniel.
Nathaniel had shed his military uniform, opting for a casually elegant black silk shirt. The top two buttons were slightly undone, revealing his alluring collarbones and chest muscles.
When Elijah entered, Nathaniel lounged on the sofa, sipping red wine. Then, he picked up wine from the table, poured himself a glass, and downed it in one gulp.
“Impressive,” Nathaniel applauded lightly, meeting Elijah’s gaze. He spoke without reservation, “I like Sheena. I always have. If it weren’t for those years I spent in the Special Investigation Department, I might have already married her. I know you like her too, but you’re divorced now, and she treats you like a pet as payback. Are you content with that?”
Elijah remained silent.

Nathaniel continued, “I’ve investigated your background but found nothing. It’s clear your identity is more than just Farlem’s Freeman family. So, who are you?”
