Chapter 172
Faye was livid and hurried to help Erin up. However, she could not lift her, no matter how much she pulled. Instead, she slipped and fell herself.
Seeing this, Sheena raised an eyebrow, slightly amused. “Madam Freeman, you’re being too kind. There’s no need for such gestures. Although I must say, I certainly enjoy this.”
Once again, Skye burst into laughter, making Faye’s anger flare up. She glared at Sheena, gnashing her teeth. “You’re going too far! Show some restraint!”
Sheena blinked innocently, her eyes sparkling. “Am I going too far? Hmm… I think I’m not quite there yet. After all, the sound of Ms. Freeman’s head hitting the ground wasn’t quite loud enough.”
Erin felt a sense of dread. Yet, before she could react, a sharp pain shot through the back of her neck, causing her to lose her balance and her head to crash heavily onto the ground.
Someone in the crowd gasped when they heard the loud thud.
It sounded really painful!
When Erin lifted her head again, she found a large swollen lump on her forehead, and she looked ridiculous.
“Ahh!” Erin was furious and utterly mortified. She felt like burying herself under a blanket and never coming out again.
Faye was a mix of anger and concern. However, considering Erin was at fault, scolding her directly in front of everyone was inappropriate. Eventually, Faye helped the limping Erin and left the venue.
Once most people had departed, the two bodyguards who had thrown pebbles at Erin from the shadows stepped out. Sheena smiled approvingly and complimented them, “Well done. You’ll be getting a raise for that.”
Meanwhile, Elijah had been tirelessly searching for days in the mountain range connecting Farlem and Luivine, practically turning the entire mountain upside down. The sophisticated technological devices he brought were now useless as they were out of battery, and the search for Sheena had become increasingly daunting.
Elijah’s subordinates sighed in frustration yet were too afraid of his potential wrath to voice their concerns.
He leaned against a tree, lighting up a cigarette. If something really had happened to Sheena, it would have been impossible that they had not found a single trace, even after days of meticulous searching.
A subordinate, the one leading the team, approached Elijah and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Freeman, is it possible that the information was incorrect? Perhaps Ms. Sheena ended up somewhere else? The night was dark, and Leon might not have seen where she fell clearly. Moreover, what if she fell into a river? The signal is weak in the mountains, and we can’t send

Before he could finish his sentence, Elijah’s expression turned gloomier. “No, she’s not dead.”
“Huh?!” The subordinate was taken aback.
Surviving a fall from such a height was nearly impossible!
Elijah remained silent. The information from Jonah could not possibly be wrong, and Leon was not lying–Sheena did fall from the plane. Besides, the detection equipment he brought was foolproof; even if she had fallen into a river, there should still be some trace.
Hence, only one possibility remained.
Elijah frowned as a sudden realization hit him. “Let’s head back to Farlem!”
“Yes, Mr. Freeman!”
His subordinates quickly followed his orders, packing their belongings in haste, eager to return to Farlem as fast as possible. Just as they were about to leave, a group approached them, supporting each other as they walked toward them.
