Chapter 225
“Mr. Freeman, I managed to knock Ms. Sheena’s bodyguard out when he was not paying
attention. However, he’s quite strong, and I suspect he’ll wake up soon. Let’s cut to the chase! “Lionel whispered cautiously.
Faye, hearing the commotion, sat up and looked in their direction. “Eli, who’s at the door?”
Elijah blocked her view, saying, “Mom, I have to return to Ocean Avenue. Behave yourself well, and don’t mention that thing again. Remember what I’m saying.”
“Got it!” Faye was somewhat impatient. However, she smiled and waved him off when she remembered her plan. “Hurry up and leave. It’s getting late. Go back quickly.”
Ignoring her unusual behavior, Elijah left with Lionel and went to the rooftop of the Freeman mansion to talk.
Lionel began, “Mr. Freeman, I found out that the Lawson family has someone with a timeline similar to Ms. Sheena’s. Albert’s only daughter, the youngest heiress of the Lawson family. However, she didn’t go missing. She was declared dead by the Lawson family six years ago, and the cause of death remains unknown.”
Elijah furrowed his brows tightly.
The more the matter was concealed, the more problematic this situation would be.
He asked, “Can the database provide a photo of this heiress?”
“No, there’s no photo, no name. It’s even said that the Lawson family held a simple funeral for her, but there’s no information about the location of the grave. Mr. Freeman, do you think this girl could really be dead?” Lionel inquired.
Elijah pursed his lips, contemplating. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “The actions of the Lawson family might seem like they don’t care much about this heiress, not valuing her enough. In reality, it’s quite the opposite. These actions prove that the Lawson family cares deeply about her, going to great lengths to ensure her safety.”
Lionel thought it made sense. “So, could this heiress be Ms. Sheena?”
“Though it can’t be completely confirmed, I believe it’s her,” Elijah said, his deep black eyes gleaming with intense joy.
Howard’s massaging of Sheena’s calves, warming her hands, and Sheena playfully resisted and acted coquettishly with him…
Each action, each gesture, all screamed of a brother–sister relationship!
Elijah could not believe he once suspected her of infidelity while they were married. Looking back, he felt truly remorseful!
However, his expression became serious again.
If Sheena was indeed the Lawson family heiress, why did she end up in the orphanage in Farlem all those years ago? What twists of fate occurred during that time?
Perhaps it was also the reason the Lawson family wanted to protect her.
Chapter 220
“If Ms. Sheena is truly the Lawson family heiress, then…” Lionel suddenly realized something,
lit He hurriedly pulled out his phone, confirmed the information, and his eyes up.
“Mr. Freeman, last time Jonah found records of the heiress flying on a private jet to Farlem thirteen years ago! It landed at Jonah’s family airport, so he casually stumbled upon this record. However, after learning she was already declared dead, he let it go.”
“If Ms. Sheena is indeed the Lawson family heiress, then she is very likely the girl you’ve been searching for!” Lionel handed him the phone with the relevant information as he spoke. Elijah carefully went through the information. “I’ll find the opportunity to confirm this piece of information.”
The amount of information tonight was overwhelming, leaving him somewhat bewildered. If Sheena was indeed the little girl who saved him thirteen years ago, then all the things he did…
He had mistaken Jennifer for her, hurting her and turning her affection into indifference and
revenge.
Elijah’s heart ached.
Could he salvage the situation?
After exchanging information with Lionel, Elijah, with mixed emotions, went to the first floor.
