Chapter 847
Sheena turned and swiftly made her way back into the mansion, leaving Elliot to handle the affairs
outside.
Feeling the weight of her disapproving gaze, Elliot temporarily tasked the outside responsibilities to Lionel and followed Sheena’s footsteps inside the mansion.
The nursery on the third floor had two adorable baby cribs, one pink and one blue.
Sheena walked over to check, but the pink crib was empty, with no sign of Adora or Freida.
Only Asher lay peacefully in the blue crib.
Sheena felt her throat tighten as various ominous feelings surged within her. She turned to find help and coincidentally ran into Elliot, who had followed her inside.
She grabbed his collar, her voice trembling with urgency as she questioned, “Elliot, where’s Adora?”
Elliot was taken aback. “I just left, Nana. Adora was already asleep. Calm down…!
Tears welled up in Sheena’s eyes as she gripped his collar tightly, her anger palpable.
“Elliot, if anything happens to Adora because of you, you’re done!”
His face went pale, stunned into silence.
Sheena had not looked at him with such fierce anger in a long time.
As she released his collar and quickly left the room, Elliot hurriedly followed.
Sheena searched several adjacent rooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen, but there was no sign of Freida
anywhere.
Her sense of unease grew stronger, prompting her to leave the mansion and find Ford and Paul, instructing them to keep an eye on both the front and back doors, prohibiting anyone from leaving for the time being.
Trembling with anxiety, she prepared to take the stage and use the microphone to publicly threaten. anyone with ill intentions lurking among them.
Elliot quickly grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
“Nana, calm down first. Let me handle this.”
Sheena shook off his grasp, staring at him in disbelief.
“Elliot, someone might be trying to kidnap Adora! Such incidents among rich and powerful families are not uncommon. Adora is your daughter too. Aren’t you worried?”
His eyes reddened, but he stood firm before her, explaining, “Nana, you’re being too sensitive about this. Panicking won’t help, and your impulsive actions won’t do any good. Trust me and let me handle

this!”
Sheena remained silent, reluctantly agreeing to his plea.

Elliot instructed Lionel to discreetly continue entertaining the guests in the garden and asked Ford about the guests‘ departure from the party.
Upon learning that there were no suspicious individuals, Elliot instructed Logan and Lance to quietly
search the entire E&S Haven.
Ten minutes later, Logan found Freida holding Adora in a quiet backyard corner, and Sheena and
Elliot rushed over immediately.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Freida asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Sheena was about to interrogate Freida but was stopped by Elliot.
Elliot calmly asked, “Auntie Freida, why did you bring Adora to the backyard?”
Freida explained, “Mr. Jenkins, as soon as you left, Adora woke up and started babbling. I was afraid she would wake Asher, so I took her to the backyard to soothe her and show her the little colored lights. She had just fallen asleep again when you arrived.”
After hearing her explanation, Sheena breathed a sigh of relief and approached to check on Adora in
Freida’s arms.
Indeed, it was a peacefully sleeping Adora, wearing the silver bracelet she had personally purchased
with her name engraved on it.
At that moment, Sheena’s anxious heart finally relaxed completely.
Elliot smiled reassuringly, “Honey, I told you. You were too nervous.”
Tonight’s party was crowded and chaotic, so they had stationed guards at the front and back beforehand and made all necessary security preparations.

However, Sheena still insisted on both of them watching over the twins, wanting multiple layers of
protection and assurance before she could feel at ease.
Elliot felt that she was overly anxious about the babies‘ safety.
