Chapter 408
Elijah had the audacity to play dirty with him!
Colin was thrown onto a cargo ship and sent to the desolate, illiterate country of Leiciei, making it a huge challenge for the Upton family to locate him. However, Elijah was dead, and his chances with Sheena had increased.
Thinking about this, Colin regained his composure.
“I’ve been back for several months now. Initially, I planned to find you in Farlem, but work matters kept me tied up. However, I heard about Elijah’s passing…”
Sheena’s smile slightly froze, her grip on the wine glass tightening.
“I’m sorry. Did I upset you?”
Colin looked at her apologetically, reaching out as if to comfort her. However, Sheena calmly stood up to fetch a refill of wine, skillfully avoiding his touch.
Colin did not seem embarrassed, gazing affectionately at her.
“Sheena, now that you’re rid of that burden and single again, why don’t you let me take care of you after you’ve had your fill of fun?”
Sheen frowned.
Was he suggesting that Elijah was a burden?
“Mr. Upton, today is a gathering. These discussions may not be appropriate,” Sheena warned him, looking at him coldly.
After all, their other friends were present, and she did not want to spoil the mood for everyone.
“Sheena…” Colin’s gaze dimmed, appearing hurt. “The past is behind us. You have to start a new life.”
Ignoring him, Sheena downed two large glasses of wine and told the nearby Naomi, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Exiting the private room, her face was slightly flushed, and her head a little dizzy. Moreover,
her tolerance for alcohol was not what it used to be, and she had drunk a bit too quickly. Hence, she was already feeling the effects of the alcohol.
Sheena walked slowly, unsteadily leaning on the corridor for support.
Colin’s words echoed in her mind, leaving her feeling heavy.
Everyone around her advised her to stay strong, urging her to forget Elijah and

start a new life. She wanted to, but even after six months, she could not forget the guilt and pain from the past.
Taking a deep breath, Sheena tried to suppress the rising emotions.
Suddenly, she caught the blurry sight of a familiar and tall figure from the corner of her eyes.
That silhouette… Could it be him?
Sheena was stunned, and she shook her head to clear her thoughts. Her vision became clearer, and she followed the figure that disappeared around the corner.
“Elijah? Is it you? It must be you!” Sheena immediately chased after him, running to the corridor’s turning point. However, the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing the commotion, Ford hurried over, steadying her swaying form.
“Miss, are you
drunk?”
Sheena grabbed his arm as if to confirm his suspect, exerting an unusual force.
“I’m not drunk. I just saw Elijah! It must be him! I recognized his silhouette, Ford. He’s not dead. He must be alive! It was him just now!”
Ford, both shocked and bewildered, followed her gaze.
Seeing Sheena’s determined expression, he reluctantly let her stay in place and. checked everyone who had walked through the corridor. Sighing, he returned to Sheena.
“Miss, you must have been mistaken.”
Sheena shook her head firmly. “Impossible! It was him, for sure! Seal off Hedone Bar. I want to check every private room, one by one!”
