Chapter 554
“If anything gets captured on camera, it might be hard to explain. So, Mr. Upton, feel free to say whatever you want here. There shouldn’t be anything Mr. Jenkins isn’t privy to,” Sheena calmly
asserted.
Elliot’s restless heart gradually calmed, and he took the initiative to tighten his grip on Sheena’s hand, their fingers interlacing. They exchanged a knowing smile, openly displaying their affection, unfazed by the surroundings.
Colin, thoroughly provoked, blurted out, “Sheena, for your sake, I’m not afraid of offending the Jenkins family. Do you know that the women arranged for Elliot by Mr. Santiago Jenkins were all left battered and bruised? He’s ruthless and rumored to have a penchant for mistreating women!”
“His current show of affection toward you might just be for the Lawson family’s sake. Marrying him could be a nightmare! I’ve known you since childhood. I won’t hurt you!”
Elliot remained expressionless, listening to Colin’s baseless accusations calmly. However, a hint of curiosity flickered within him. After all, despite his questionable reputation in the past, Sheena had never questioned him about it.
The two men turned their gaze toward Sheena.
Sheena hesitated for a moment, then gracefully chuckled. “Those are just rumors, Mr. Upton. Why are you taking them so seriously? Besides, with Mr. Jenkins‘ capabilities, those rumors were probably spread deliberately. It’s his way of protecting himself, and apart from me, he doesn’t dare touch
other women.”
Colin’s expression darkened dramatically as he was rendered speechless.
Sheena continued, “Mr. Upton, there’s still some time before the party starts. Mr. Jenkins and I would like to take a stroll in private. Please excuse us.

With that, she pulled Elliot away, leaving Colin standing disheartened.
Nearby, on the second–floor balcony, Katie watched Colin with pity. However, her gaze turned ruthless when it landed on Sheena’s figure.
“Bitch!”
Sheila, beautifully dressed up, stood by her side, comforting her with a light pat on the shoulder. Her eyes were fixed on Sheena and Elliot, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
“Don’t worry. You’ve arranged quite a spectacle for the night. Stay composed.”
In the garden, Sheena and Elliot leisurely wandered through the Upton family’s grand mansion.
Elliot asked, “Nana, do you really trust me this much? Aren’t you afraid that in the six months we

were apart, I might have done something… cruel to other women?”

Taking advantage of the lack of onlookers, Sheena grabbed his ear forcefully, scolding, “It seems like you’ve thought about doing such things?”
“Ouch! It hurts! I was just kidding… Be careful, if this gets caught on camera, tomorrow’s headline will be about you abusing me.
Elliot frowned in pain, complaining with a hint of grievance.
Though he said that, he instinctively bent, almost as if it were natural, fearing Sheena might strain
her arm.

Sheena chuckled, releasing his ear and massaging it.
“If it really makes the headlines, you’ll be forced to admit that you’re afraid of your wife! I don’t think it’s a bad thing for me, after all.”
“No, it’ll be bad for me! Then, I’ll have to find a way to discipline you!” Elliot retorted.
“You can keep dreaming,” Sheena replied smugly.
She knew exactly what he meant by that and rolled her eyes at him playfully before taking the lead towards the small path ahead.
Elliot immediately followed, holding her hand tightly as if he was careful not to lose her. Even though Sheena had never questioned the scandalous rumors surrounding him, he took the initiative to clarify as they walked.
“In the past, Grandpa did send a woman to my bed, but I had Lionel play a ghost to scare her away. She fainted and was carried out of the Jenkins estate. The incident was later intentionally leaked by Peter to tarnish my reputation, spreading rumors and gradually demonizing me.”
As they conversed, Anita, the assistant of the Butterflies, suddenly approached.
“Ms. Lawson! We finally found you. There’s an issue backstage with Phoebe and the others. Please come and take a look!”
