Chapter 56
Sheena chuckled, amused. “You should ask him that. He’s the one who called me here.”
Jennifer was shocked. “Why would Eli call you?! If it weren’t for you pestering him, he wouldn’t have spared you another glance!”
Even though Jennifer said that, she was still doubtful.
Sheena took the transfer document from her bag and waved it in front of Jennifer. “Take a good look! Your dear Eli transferred this property to my name.
With that, she pushed Jennifer aside.
”
Jennifer staggered back several steps before regaining her balance, and her eyes were wide with shock when she realized that Elijah had transferred the mansion to Sheena. Jennifer could not understand why he generously handed over the mansion to Sheena but would not let he would not let Jennifer get anywhere near it!
Why?
Jennifer was fuming, but she quickly thought of something and glared at Sheena. “Is this Eli’s way of compensating you for the divorce? He’s doing this to set a clear boundary with you!” Sheena smirked coldly, unfazed by the accusation. Then, she said, “This property belongs to me now, Ms. Moore. You should stay away. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to throw you out.” “You!” Jennifer was enraged. As she watched Sheena get into the driver’s seat and start the car, she continued smugly, “You had Howard backing you up, so I couldn’t compete with you in the past. Starting tomorrow, I’ll trample all over you!”
Sheena glanced at her, not taking her harsh words seriously. Then, she swiftly drove her Santana away, leaving Jennifer in a cloud of exhaust.
Choked by the fumes, Jennifer coughed and glared at the shiny green Santana with a malicious glint in her eyes.
She was determined to see just how long Sheena could remain so arrogant!
Sheena drove back to Howard’s mansion. As she passed a large screen in the commercial district, the news was broadcasting about a car accident involving Hannah Moore of the Moore family. Hannah was in critical condition, and while she was currently stable, she might remain in a vegetative state.
Hannah’s parents were shown crying inconsolably.
Sheena only spared the news a passing glance before moving on. It was not until three days later that Sheena found herself surrounded by unusually nosy colleagues during lunchtime at the cafeteria.
Their animated expressions hinted at heated discussions.
Though Sheena was curious about the commotion, she was not much of an internet user and was not into gossip.
“Ms. Sheena, did you hear the big news this morning?” Wendy approached with a tray of food, accompanied by two other friends, and they all sat next to Sheena.
“What news?” Sheena asked.
Seeing that she was clueless, Wendy became excited and said, “Do you know about the car accident involving the heir to the Moore family, Hannah Moore? Well, just a few days later, the Moore family publicly announced that they’re bringing their youngest daughter, who has been abroad due to illness, back home.”
Sheena focused on her food as she asked, “Why is that so surprising?”
“Do you know who the second daughter of the Moore family is? It’s Jennifer Moore, who’s set to be engaged to the CEO of the Freeman Group!”
Sheena was stunned.
Seeing that Sheena finally reacted, Wendy continued, “Everyone is laughing at how bold the Moore family is. While Hannah is in a vegetative state, they’re planning a grand banquet to welcome Jennifer back.”
The two other colleagues at the table quickly joined the conversation, sharing similar sentiments of disapproval toward the Moore family’s actions. Some even ventured bold speculations that Jennifer’s identity was definitely more complicated than it appeared.
The discussion became a flurry of opinions and guesses about the situation, but Sheena listened quietly without participating.
Suddenly, she recalled the words Jennifer had uttered at the gates of Ocean Avenue a few days ago. With the events unfolding, it seemed that there was more to Hannah’s drunk driving incident.
Sheena could not help but wonder what Jennifer would do now that she had transitioned from being an illegitimate daughter to a legitimate heir.
