“No. Elliot has been sent to the military since he was young and has rarely returned over the years, especially after he turned 15. He didn’t return until six months ago.”
Elliot had not been back to the Jenkins family since he was 15?
That was strange.
Sheena continued, “When you mentioned he got injured six months ago, where was he injured? Was it severe, like on his face or back?”
“I’m not sure about that. I haven’t seen his injuries. I just heard it from the servants at Grandpa’s estate, but it was indeed severe, During the power struggle with Uncle Peter, Elliot would always appear in a wheelchair and wore a mask.”
After questioning for a while, it seemed she could not find any particularly useful information. Sheena exchanged a few more words with Naomi and ended the call.
In the front seat, John asked out of curiosity, “Miss, why are you suddenly so concerned about Mr. Jenkins? Did sparks fly between you two last night?”
Busy figuring out this matter, Sheena ignored his teasing and simply said, “John, I always feel that something is off, that Elijah didn’t really die.”
John did not believe it. “Miss, how is that possible? Setting aside the severe injuries Mr. Freeman had before the incident, the chances of him surviving the attack are really low. Besides, Ian personally
witnessed his body being cremated.”
“Is it possible that the body was fake? That they found someone with a similar physique to replace
him?”
John thought carefully and replied, “It’s possible, but if Mr. Freeman is really alive, why hasn’t he come back to find you? He used to be eager to be with you every day.”
That was also a point that Sheena could not figure out. She looked out the car window, lost in thought.
Elliot’s image from last night gradually surfaced in her mind. Despite concealing himself well, she still felt like he recognized her. Also, his nervous habits were exactly like Elijah’s.
Could there be such a coincidence?
If so, why did he not have any scars on his body?
The burns caused by the corrosive S40 agent would undoubtedly leave scars that could not be easily removed.
It seemed like Sheena needed to consult Corey.
She first went to the newly decorated Angle Group building, which was almost ready. In a few days, she could transfer all the business from Farlem’s side.

Entering the CEO’s office on the top floor, she settled into the chair, with John guarding outside.
Checking Corey’s flight schedule, Sheena found out he was off today and decided to give him a call.
“Corey, is there any drug in the lab that works exceptionally well in removing scars, making the skin completely free of any traces?”
Corey responded, “No. Even the best drugs can’t restore the skin to that extent. Why do you ask? Did you get injured?”
Sheena quickly shook her head and said, “No, I’m just curious.”
“If you want the skin to be completely restored without any traces, you probably need skin graft surgery. Currently, the best technique globally is in Hurokey.”
After a long silence, Sheena asked, “Corey, do you… know about my engagement to Elliot?”
“I do. What’s wrong?”
“It seems like Elliot might be from the National Investigation Bureau. He conceals his whereabouts very well, and it’s challenging for me to investigate. But if you’re the one checking, can you find out if he had any international flight records in the past six months?”
Corey found it strange. “Why do you suddenly want to check his travel records?”
Sheena chuckled, saying, “Well, we’re engaged now. I just want to know more about him.”
That seemed reasonable.
Although Corey was a bit skeptical, he did not say much. “Sure, but investigating Elliot’s entire six- month itinerary isn’t easy and will take some time.”
“How long will it take?”
“At the earliest, tomorrow afternoon.”
The whole night, Sheena stayed awake, wrestling with her thoughts. Her sleep had not been great in the past six months. However, she surprisingly slept soundly during the two nights she spent alone
with Elliot.
Perhaps tomorrow, all her doubts could finally be answered.
