Chapter 204
She was surprised, wondering why Colin came to the Freeman Group. After considering it, she said, “Let him in.”
Elijah, seated on the sofa, suddenly furrowed his brow.
Mr. Upton? Which Mr. Upton was this?
Was it another man she had recently acquainted herself with?
As Colin entered through the door, Elijah stood up. Even though there was a considerable distance between them, both immediately noticed each other’s presence.
The air seemed charged as the rivals locked gaze.
With a smirk, Elijah spoke first, “Oh, it’s the heir of Svelton’s Upton family. It’s nice to meet. you.”
Colin felt a surge of anger when he saw Elijah. He had–come to dissuade Sheena from signing a contract with Elijah, but he never expected that she would boldly bring him to the company!
This was the Freeman Group!
Colin darkened his expression and approached Elijah, whispering, “Sheena has divorced you. She made an agreement with you for a year just to help you clear your debts. Mr. Freeman, you shouldn’t harbor any thoughts for her because of that. Don’t you think so?”
His face appeared calm, but his tone carried a subtle threat.
Elijah was stunned when Colin mentioned the agreement, believing that his relationship with Sheena was more complicated than expected.
“Mr. Upton, out of curiosity, who are you to warn me?” Elijah inquired.
Colin responded, “She’s single now, and I’m pursuing her. I believe she’ll soon agree to be with me. So, I’m telling you as her future boyfriend.”
“In other words, she hasn’t agreed to be yours yet. Mr. Upton, aren’t you too eager to assert dominance?” Elijah raised an eyebrow.
Colin scowled. “So what? At least I have a chance, while you’ll never have one!”
Sheena sighed, massaging her temples.
The two men before her were throwing insults at each other, sparks flying in their heated exchange. Her office had turned into a battleground, and Sheena could not help but wonder why people usually described women as dramatic when these two men were even more intense than most women.
The tension continued as the two men squared off before the sofa.
Elijah declared, “Even if you refuse to admit it, you can’t deny the fact that I am her ex- husband. At least I was closer to her than you ever will be!”
Elijah purposely emphasized the last sentence, and his gaze carried a subtle implication,

Seething with anger, Colin retorted, “How long have you known her? How well do you really know her? I grew up with her, and I know her better than you ever will!”
Elijah was surprised, and his frown deepened.
“Enough,” Sheena intervened, unable to tolerate the argument any longer.
The bickering gave her a headache. She needed to send these two off.
She turned to Colin, asking, “Why did you come here today?”
Colin had initially intended to persuade her to dissolve the agreement with Elijah, but certain things could not be said before him. Hence, he used work as a cover, saying, “It’s about the film studio construction. I initially went to Angle Group to find you, but I came over since you weren’t there and heard you were at the Freeman Group.”
It was a legitimate reason.
Sheena looked at Elijah and said, “You haven’t visited your mother and sister since you returned, right? I’ll have the bodyguard take you to the Freeman mansion to check on them. Calm them down and ask them to behave to prevent unnecessary troubles.”
Intentionally sending him away?
Was she choosing Colin over him?
Elijah was not pleased. “I’m not going!”
Sheena ignored his reluctance and called the bodyguards to escort him out.
As Elijah passed by him, Colin smirked as if claiming victory in this round.
With a long face, Elijah exited the office, went down the elevator, and was forcefully placed into the car by the bodyguards. However, his face no longer displayed the jealousy he had shown with Colin earlier.
Elijah lingered on the last words Colin spoke. It seemed like Howard had said something similar, attempting to provoke him. Back then, he had not thought much of it, considering it was just Howard trying to get under his skin.
However, he realized something was off about the situation!
