Chapter 671
Sheena turned away, ignoring him, a tear silently falling from the corner of her eye, seamlessly blending into her hair.
She could never give Nathaniel what he wanted, and it was impossible for her to do so!
In this lifetime, she would only love Elliot!
Nathaniel sat defeated on the side, crying and laughing, but his gaze caught the sight of Sheena lying on the sofa behind him. There was a vivid red bruise on her originally fair neck, glaringly noticeable.
It was the mark he had just left–his recent outburst.
Gradually regaining his senses, Nathaniel apologized, “I’m sorry, Nana. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
He reached out with a compassionate look, intending to touch the red mark on her neck.
Sheena evaded and turned around, her back facing him.
Nathaniel’s hand froze mid–air. The next moment, his expression turned cold again, and he used force to turn her shoulders, forcing her to face him.
His entire demeanor reverted to its previous sinister and chilling aura.
“Nana, I’ll give you another choice. Do you want the life of the child in your womb, or do you want
Elliot’s life?”
“Why do you always enjoy forcing me to make choices, Nathaniel?” Sheena glared at him.
He raised an eyebrow and smirked, “Because it’s entertaining, isn’t it? Nana, if you choose Elliot, you’ll obediently get rid of this child tomorrow. We’ll proceed with our original plan, and I’ll take care of those tycoons and dukes who won’t shut up! If you choose this child, I can set you free and cancel our wedding, but Elliot must die!”
He flashed a mocking smile, eager to see just how much weight Elliot held in her heart.
Sheena glared at him with resentment but noticed Lionel from the corner of her eye, silently entering through the window not far behind Nathaniel.
She narrowed her eyes, a glint of coldness flickering.
“Nathaniel, I won’t choose. I want both!”
As the words left her lips, there was a dull thud in the room.
Lionel had taken a golf club from the corner and struck Nathaniel hard on the back of his head.
Nathaniel immediately collapsed, passing out on the floor.
Noticing the bruise on Sheena’s neck, Lionel tossed the golf club and rushed over to check on her.
“I’m sorry, I was late!”

Sheena smiled reassuringly, saying, “No, I’m fine.”
Lionel reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the unconscious Nathaniel on the

carpet.
Sheena also looked at Nathaniel, lost in thought for a moment.
“Harrold told me that Clear is in Nathaniel’s possession. Where do you think he would hide it?”
Lionel lowered his head in contemplation.
Sheena continued, “He has been residing in Alzer Palace. Rather than hiding it outside, the palace would be the safest place. Perhaps he has hidden the drug in his own chambers. Tonight might actually be a good opportunity! I’ll go and steal the medicine!”
“Tonight?” Lionel expressed concern. “But it’s the palace banquet, and there are too many people!”
“It’s precisely because of the crowded environment that it’s easier to go unnoticed. If it were any other day, we wouldn’t stand a chance with the tight palace security,” Sheena explained.
Lionel felt conflicted, but he knew this was Sheena’s last resort!
Now that Nathaniel knew about her pregnancy, he would likely tighten his restrictions on her further. After tonight, finding another way to obtain Clear would only be more challenging.
“Alright, but sneaking in is too risky, especially considering you’re pregnant. Let me go!” Lionel looked at her with a determined gaze.
