Chapter 331
Sheena turned around angrily, only to find that Nathaniel was the one who stopped her.
With a serious demeanor, Nathaniel said, “Nana, you can’t punish him as you like. We must let the law handle this. Since I’m here, let me take him to Farlem police station for questioning.”
“He tried to disfigure my face with acid, and I defended myself. Is that not allowed?” Sheena’s tone was icy as she attempted to pull her hand back.
Nathaniel held onto her wrist, his expression still stern. “He harmed someone, and he should face consequences. But if you harm him, you’ll be in the same position. Don’t forget that this is a bar. Even if you clear the scene, there are still plenty of staff as witnesses.”
Sheena hesitated, but she quickly recovered and sneered. “But I’ve already taken matters into my own hands. What now?”
the
clean up Nathaniel gave it a thought before saying, “I can turn a blind eye and help you mess, but you can’t hit him again. Elijah is just your servant now, your pet. You don’t need to get yourself into trouble for him.
His words shocked Sheena. “If Elijah hadn’t intervened and my face was the one scarred instead, would you
still say
the same?”
Nathaniel was stunned.
Sheena forcefully shook off his hand, looking at him in disbelief as she commented, ‘ Nathaniel, I don’t know you anymore.”
Nathaniel was obviously hurt by her remark, and he silently stepped back, no longer stopping her actions.
With no one stopping her, Sheena smirked and crouched in front of the man again. “Alright, let’s continue.”
“P–Please… Don’t…”
Ignoring his pleas, Sheena raised the bottle high, about to strike.
“Stop right there!”
It was Maurice, accompanied by a team of officers.
“Mr. Nicholls, you’re here too.”
Maurice rushed in and greeted Nathaniel first. Seeing that Nathaniel remained indifferent, he stepped forward to snatch the bottle from Sheena’s hand.
Seeing the miserable state of the man on the floor, Maurice gasped at how ruthless Sheena was. Then, he cautiously observed Nathaniel beside him, noting his grim expression and the absence of any intention to intervene.
Maurice said, “Ms. Sheena, we received a report of a disturbance in the bar. Could you please come with us?”
Sheena smiled faintly, her voice silky as she replied, “He threw sulfuric acid at me, injuring me. I just retaliated, perhaps a bit too forcefully.”

Maurice glanced at the man whose face was now a bloody mess from the broken bottle, unconsciously gulping hard.
She obviously went all out!
He spoke with seriousness, “Ms. Sheena, regardless of the circumstances, we need to take a trip to the police station. Please come with us.”
Sheena blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, “Investigation and questioning are fine. How long will it take?”
As Maurice handcuffed her, he replied, “It’s uncertain, depending on whether you’ve committed a crime.”
Other police stepped forward, handcuffing John and Sawyer.
Hearing the commotion, Gabrielle rushed out and tugged Nathaniel. “Nathaniel, Sheena is being taken away. You can’t just stand by! Nathaniel!”
Nathaniel remained silent, his eyes deeply fixed on Sheena as she was escorted away.
Unable to persuade him, Gabrielle attempted to step forward, but Nathaniel’s men blocked her. She could only watch as Sheena got in the police car.
Elijah, weakened and exhausted, woke up in the ward several hours later. The wound on his back had been properly bandaged, and the doctor, concerned about his seemingly fragile state despite his robust physique, had added an extra bag of nutrients to his IV, along with the prescribed antibiotics.
Upon awakening late in the night, Elijah noticed Ford and Paul sleeping on the adjacent visitor beds. Scanning the room, he did not find the comforting figure he longed for.
