Chapter 100
Someone recognized Elijah and shouted, “It’s Mr. Freeman! Mr. Freeman is here to support her!”
Elijah’s appearance ignited another uproar as his sudden presence shocked everyone, and speculations buzzed through the crowd about his purpose for being there.
Elijah took the microphone from Sheena and said, “As for Ms. Moore’s situation, I’m also doing my own investigations. I will provide the public with an explanation in five days.”
The reporters who had been asking questions were too frightened to speak, yet the chaos within the crowd showed no sign of settling.
Elijah turned around to Leon with a cold look and asked, “What are you standing around for?”
Leon quickly signaled the bodyguards, and they immediately began dispersing the crowd. Most of the onlookers were merely there for the spectacle. They did not want to stir up trouble, and they certainly did not want to provoke Elijah. Hence, they left immediately. “Thanks,” Sheena muttered a half–hearted gratitude to him and walked toward the company. “Ms. Sheena, your gratitude seems rather insincere,” Elijah commented, grabbing her wrist firmly. Then, he asked, “Can we have a private conversation?”
Sheena initially considered refusing his invitation, but she noticed his serious expression and said, “Alright, but let’s keep it brief.”
Elijah chose a restaurant near Angle Group and reserved a private room for their meal.
“Go ahead and order,” he said, laying out the menu and pushing it toward her.
“I’ve had breakfast already,” Sheena replied. However, she frowned as if recalling something, then added, “Mr. Freeman, didn’t you prefer a lighter meal early in the morning? What’s this? Have you changed your habits after reuniting with Ms. Moore? Anyway, cut the crap and get to the point. Don’t waste my time.”
Elijah’s expression turned sour. Observing Sheena’s impatience, he asked, “Do you treat Howard or Skye the same way when you have meals together?”
Even Elijah did not realize that his tone was dripping with jealousy.
Sheena glared at him, warning, “Mr. Freeman, please remember you’re my ex–husband, and we have nothing between us anymore. Do I need to report to you about my attitude while having dinner with other men? Besides, you’re hardly in any position to compare yourself to them.”
She paused, then continued sarcastically, “Don’t forget that your fiancee is still warded, and you should be at her side instead of getting hung up on my attitude here.”
“You’ve changed a lot,” Elijah commented, locking his gaze onto her eyes as if attempting to uncover all the unfamiliar aspects about her.
Sheena picked up her bag and got up from her seat. “If you’re only here to discuss these

unimportant matters, I’ll be going now.”
“Sit down. There’s no need to rush.”
Elijah walked over and locked the door.
Sheena frowned and watched him closely. “What are you doing?”
He let out a barely audible sigh, saying, “Don’t worry. I’m not here to harm you. I’m here to clarify one thing.”
