Chapter 454
Sheena had not even stepped out of the car when she spotted Corey holding a gun to Elliot’s head through the window, his face filled with murderous intent.
“Corey! What are you doing?” With one hand gripping the muzzle and the other shielding Elliot, Sheena tried to calm the situation. “Let’s talk things out. There’s no need for violence.”
Corey remained unmoved.
Barbara chimed in, “Honey, put the gun away. You might hurt Nana.”
Reluctantly, Corey holstered the gun, his face still ice–cold.
Sheena quickly turned to check on Elliot, asking, “Corey didn’t hit you, did he? Are you injured anywhere?”
Elliot gently shook his head, holding her warm hand, and smiled. “Except for you, who could ever lay a finger on me?”
Seeing him still able to come up with such witty replies, Sheena breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing them intimate, Corey became angry. “Sheena! Do you know he’s been playing with your feelings, deceiving you?”
A few days ago, Corey found it strange that Sheena suddenly took an interest in her fiance. Upon deeper investigation, he discovered that Elliot was her ex- husband!
Sheena argued, “Corey, I’ve known about it for a while. It was all a misunderstanding, and I’ve let it go.”
Corey’s tone remained icy. “He’s manipulating you! He can’t repay the three years of youth you wasted on him! I’ll help you end this engagement.”
“No, please!‘ Sheena embraced Corey. “Eli has already paid back what he owed me. He saved me three times in Farlem. Without him, I wouldn’t have returned to Svelton unharmed. Even Howard was moved by him. Let it go, Corey.”
Corey glared at her, silent.
Not arguing further indicated he was also in a dilemma.
Seizing the moment, Sheena added, “By the way, our engagement is a business alliance. It’s not easy to cancel it. Corey, please think it through.”
“What’s there to fear? As long as you want, even if I have to compensate with 40
billion dollars, I can afford it!”
Sheena pouted and cooed softly, “But I don’t want to. I want to be with him.”
Elliot listened quietly, his gaze fixed on Sheena, feeling a sweet sensation in his heart.
Corey fell silent.
Sheena continued to nuzzle against Corey like a soft kitten. “Corey, I’m serious…”
Corey glanced at Barbara.
Barbara nodded, indicating her approval.
With a long sigh, Corey reluctantly compromised. “Since you insist, I’ll observe him for a while. Until I give the green light, treat this engagement like Howard’s. No secret marriage certificates and no sleeping together. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs!”
Sheena shivered, subconsciously gulping hard.
She had already done some questionable things.
What now?
Could she still keep her legs?
Elliot’s expression also stiffened.
Without responding, Sheena felt a chill running down her spine.
Corey scrutinized both of them, especially noting Sheena’s guilt–ridden expression.
“Did you already get a marriage certificate?”
Sheena hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head. “No, no! I wouldn’t dare!”
Corey’s expression darkened further. “So, did you sleep together?”
“W–We did before, during our previous marriage. Does that count?” Sheena answered sheepishly.
She bit her lip, avoiding eye contact.
“Back then, you both used fake identities, and you’re divorced now. That doesn’t count. I’m asking about this time.”
Sheena fell silent, looking uneasy. She hung her head, staring at her toes, her ears turning bright red.

Corey instantly understood, his eyes filled with rage and a murderous intent. Once again, he pulled out his gun, pointing it at Elliot.
“You’re just recently engaged, and you’ve already slept with her? You’re so dead!
