Chapter 491
On the top floor of the Angle Group building, the atmosphere was tense.
Sheena stared coldly at the 19–year–old girl before her, wondering how this young actress could possibly know about her past with Elliot.
As she pondered, Sheila puckered her small pink lips and smiled innocently. “Ms. Lawson, why are you so nervous? I was just making casual remarks. It seems you have some secrets, huh?”
Could it be that she was overthinking things?
Sheena maintained a serious expression and remained silent.
Sheila continued, “There’s a charity gala tonight, and I’ll be attending as Mr. Jenkins’s companion. Ms. Lawson, as his fiancee, you don’t seem to have a seat at the event. Oh dear, he probably hasn’t told you about it yet, has he? It looks like you aren’t that important to him after all.”
She giggled provocatively and walked away, disappearing into the elevator.
Sheena kept her eyes on her until she vanished entirely from the top floor, her face unusually solemn.
Alarmed by Sheena’s expression, Wendy hurried to console her, “Ms. Lawson, don’t overthink it. This woman clearly came to provoke you and sow discord between you and Mr. Jenkins. Your relationship with him has always been good. I’m sure he’s only bringing her along for work reasons.”
“Mmhmm,” Sheena said without elaborating. “Go about your tasks.”
Right after she entered her office, she immediately made a call to Dark Bell.
“There’s more to Sheila than she seems. Find out everything about her as soon as possible. I want to know every detail!”
“No problem!”
After hanging up, Sheena sat at her desk in a daze.
Sheila’s words lingered in her ears, unsettling her, and she could not calm down. For some reason, this woman’s presence felt peculiar, but Sheena could not quite pinpoint what was strange.
While she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, she answered with a less–than–friendly tone, “What’s up?”
On the other end, Elliot was momentarily puzzled.
Why did the woman who had been sweet and loving with him last night and this morning sound so
distant now?
“Nana, are you feeling unwell? Are you sick?”
“No, I’m fine,” she replied, attempting to keep her tone steady. Thinking about Sheila’s earlier

words, she asked tentatively, “I’ll be at the Angle Group office all afternoon. Are you still coming to pick me up as usual when you finish work?”
“I called to tell you about that. I won’t be able to pick you up tonight. There’s an event I have to attend, “Elliot explained.
Sheena fell silent for a long time.
Sensing her displeasure, Elliot, in a gentle tone, added, “Is your back still sore? When I get back tonight, I’ll pers@gally give you a massage. I’ll be your exclusive masseur. How does that sound?”
Ignoring his suggestion, Sheena asked with a sour tone, “If you’re attending an event, you’ll need a female companion, right? Who’s the lucky lady?”
“It’s the new spokesperson for the Jenkins Group, a female celebrity. But don’t worry, I’ll keep my distance and come back clean and clear!” Elliot assured.
‘Yeah, right! Clean and clear my ass!‘ Sheena sarcastically thought to herself.
Changing to a coquettish voice, she softly and sweetly said, “Eli, what’s there to be nervous about? Of course, I trust you.”
Hearing her return to a normal tone, Elliot finally felt reassured.
As soon as they hung up, Sheena’s expression turned cold.
To hell with that!
While she trusted Elliot, she did not trust Sheila. After all, the woman had come to provoke her earlier in the day, indicating that she was not an easy person to deal with.
Sheena was confident Sheila would cause some trouble at the charity gala in the evening.
Who knew how capable Elliot was at handling such provocations?
Feeling discontented, she suddenly caught sight of a black and gold invitation on the right side of her
desk.
It was the invitation to the charity gala.
