Chapter 440
“Mr. Stanley from Mr. Peter’s family sent the person.”
Sheena, with a serious expression, inquired, “How’s Elliot’s usual relationship with Stanley?”
“Not too good,” Lionel responded earnestly. “The previous internal conflict within the Jenkins family was caused by Mr. Peter. When Mr. Elliot returned three days late, the power almost fell into Mr. Peter’s hands. It took nearly half a month for him to reclaim control.”
Sheena stayed silent, contemplating the matter. Suddenly, her gaze turned colder, and she asked in a low voice, “Do you know how to avoid surveillance, go over the wall, and get into the Jenkins family?”
Lionel was stunned. “Ms. Sheena, are you planning to…”
Sheena’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “I’ll help Elliot get back at Stanley!”
Around 11 p.m., in an elegant and stylish bedroom, the faint sound of water echoed.
Having finished his shower, Stanley was wearing a bathrobe and towel-dried his hair as he walked
out of the bathroom. Approaching the bedroom, the vintage chandelier flickered intermittently, and
the curtains rustled in the wind.
A kind of chilling atmosphere emanated from his bedroom.
Sensing something amiss, he put on his gold-rimmed glasses.
As he entered the room, he noticed a woman sitting by the bed.
Her long, graceful legs were elegantly crossed, hands folded, displaying a charming and cold
demeanor.
The scene was quite pleasing to the eye.
Stanley had to admit that Elliot’s fiancee was indeed stunning, with a great figure.
Even he felt a bit moved by her charms.
He courteously smiled and asked, “Ms. Lawson, when did you arrive? It’s rather inappropriate for you to enter my room through the window late at night instead of using the front door, isn’t it?”
Sheena remained silent, her gaze sharp and fixed on him.
Nonetheless, since it was Stanley’s mansion and he had a bunch of bodyguards, he was not afraid. Instead, he wanted to tease her, a mischievous grin playing on his lips.
“Or could it be that… you have taken a fancy to me? Are you planning to cheat on my beloved cousin?”
Sheena frowned, her expression suddenly fierce. She abruptly stood up, swiftly moving in front of Stanley, and with a swift motion, she delivered a ruthless strike to his neck.

Stanley was weak. He wanted to resist but had little fighting capability. In the end, he was mercilessly
knocked unconscious.
Sheena glanced down at him, saying, “Looks can be deceiving. Never thought a seemingly refined person like you would have the combat strength of a weakling!”
When Stanley regained consciousness, he found himself bound to an office chair with his mouth gagged by some cloth.
Sheena leaned against the desk, casually playing with a dagger. The silver gleam of the blade revealed her enchanting yet ruthless face. It was evident she was not a woman to be trifled with.
Stanley began to feel fear and started shouting at the door. However, only muffled sounds could be heard.
“It’s no use. Your bodyguards have all been knocked out by my people, and besides, it’s late at night. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to your rescue,” Sheena said nonchalantly.
Stanley, with delicate features and wrapped in a bath towel with wet hair, was bound and helpless. It
appeared as if he was…
Meanwhile, Sheena’s teasing tone reached Lionel outside the window, sounding a bit peculiar.
Why did it seem like she was trying to tame a well-behaved young man?
Was she perhaps interested in Stanley and had abandoned her plan to discipline him?
If Elliot found out about this, he would probably be furious enough to climb off the operating table immediately!
