Chapter 121
Hearing the familiar voice, Katie swiftly turned toward the staircase and saw Sheena, elegantly dressed in a velvet gown, accompanied by a stern–looking man behind her.
However, Katie could not see the man’s features clearly as he was wearing a face mask.
“You! How is this possible? Weren’t you dead?!” Katie’s smile froze, obviously shocked as she questioned, “How can this be? You clearly jumped from the plane! How could you possibly be alive and back!”
“I’m sorry for getting your hopes up for nothing, Ms. Upton.” Sheena smiled, still looking as beautiful as ever.
“You bitch! It’s all because of you that Howard wanted to break off our engagement. I’ll kill you!” Katie seethed with anger, lunging at Sheena.
Sheena avoided her, and Katie lost her balance, nearly falling flat on her face.
“I knew you’d be fine.” Howard gently rubbed Sheena’s cheek, visibly relieved. “Go and check on Hannah’s condition first. I’ll handle things here.”
“Alright. I’ll leave her to you,” Sheena readily agreed and entered Hannah’s room with Noah, who was fully armed, trailing behind her.
Howard watched Sheena’s figure disappear down the corridor. Then, he turned to Katie, who was sprawled on the ground and said in disgust, “I’ve already informed the Upton family that our engagement is off. Please behave yourself and leave before I lose my patience.”
“How could you treat me like this? Howard, I was the one who loved you the most, and this is how you respond to my love. Are you really this heartless? You’re lying to me, right? You won’t really break off the engagement!” Katie sobbed uncontrollably.
Howard remained indifferent, looking down upon her pitiful state.
“Miss! Someone from the Upton family has confirmed Mr. Lawson’s statement!” Angus helped her from the ground, adding, “Mr. and Madam Upton ordered me to take you back immediately.”
“No! I’m not going back. No one can make me go back!” Katie tried to free herself from Angus’s grip but to no avail.
“Miss, Mr. Lawson is quite furious now. Just bear with it. Mr. and Madam Upton will help you in regard to the engagement!” Angus pulled her downstairs against her will and said to his own subordinates, “What are you all standing around for? Let’s leave!”
The group left dejectedly, devoid of the momentum they had when they arrived.
Meanwhile, in Hannah’s room, Noah took out his medical kit and equipment, conducting basic examinations on Hannah..
Sheena sat on a small sofa nearby, observing Noah’s
Hannah, who slept peacefully on the bed.

Although Hannah and Jennifer were half–sisters with the same father, they did not look alike.
Jennifer seemed delicate, exuding a fragile and innocent demeanor that gave off a sense of pretentiousness. On the other hand, Hannah seemed like an honest and reliable person.
Even though Sheena did not know Hannah well enough to make judgments about her character, Hannah must be a capable, career–driven woman rather than just superficial charm considering how she had managed the Moore Group efficiently over the years,
“Noah, what’s the result?”
Seeing Noah tidy up his equipment, Sheena immediately walked over to assist.
“Her condition seems promising. There are signs of her brain function recovering, which indicates overall improvement in her bodily functions,” Noah said, handing her the compiled examination report.
Sheena quickly skimmed the report and asked, “Is there any way to help her wake up sooner?” Noah gave it a thought and replied, “It’s not impossible. If we perform surgery,
she might regain consciousness within a week.”
