Chapter 82
Learning that it was Jennifer, Leon was obviously even more anxious than before. “Ms. Moore, how did you end up here? Who hurt you?”
Jennifer cried even harder, her bloodied hand gripping Elijah’s sleeve. “I–It was Sheena. She called me here… Eli, it hurts so much…”
Jennifer became more emotional as she spoke and finally lost consciousness due to exhaustion.
Knowing that the injured person was Jennifer and not Sheena, Elijah’s previously gnawing pain seemed to lessen slightly, a relief that he did not even realize himself.
However, Leon was clearly agitated. “Those bastards! How dare they harm Ms. Moore. They deserve to die!”
Leon clenched his teeth in anger and turned to Elijah. “Mr. Freeman, you received a text from Ms. Sheena earlier. Fearing for her safety, we rushed over in haste. But it turns out Ms. Moore is the one who is hurt. There must be a connection to Sheena in this matter. She might even be the mastermind behind it!”
Elijah frowned, but he appeared much calmer as he ordered, “Let’s get Jenny to the hospital first. We’ll investigate this matter later.”
“Yes, Mr. Freeman.”
Leon took Jennifer from Elijah’s arms and sprinted toward the car parked on the side of the road.
Once Leon was gone, Elijah slowly stood and glanced back at the cabin, recalling the message Sheena had sent him half an hour ago.
[Sheena: I’ve invited ten men for some fun tonight. Care to join?]
Elijah was furious when he saw the message. He had tried calling her, only to find that her phone had been turned off. Then, he immediately ordered Leon to trace her location and rushed over.
He had not expected Jennifer to be the one tortured and nearly subjected to further humiliation.
Could Sheena actually be the one behind this?
Elijah felt a sudden frustration welling up within him.
Yuri drove Sheena and Aster back to the city. Before parting ways, Sheena handed a black box to Aster, which Yuri had obtained using her black card. “There is 750,000 dollars inside. You should move to a discreet countryside location. Once Katie realizes, she’ll search the whole country for you. Remember to hide well.”
Aster had a mix of emotions as she accepted the box. Reluctantly, she confirmed again, “You

promised to rescue my mom from Katie and bring her safely to me. If you dare deceive me, I’ll …”
Sheena chuckled, interrupting her, “Don’t worry. After all, I’m Sheena Lawson, and I always keep my word.”
Aster was drawn in by the determination in Sheena’s eyes. “Alright, I trust you.”
Once Aster had completely disappeared from sight, Yuri approached Sheena and asked in a hushed tone, “Ms. Lawson, why didn’t you kill her and even give her money?”
“She didn’t mean to harm me. Katie was holding her mom hostage, and she had no choice but to work for her. Aster is also pitiful. By exploiting her weaknesses and showing her kindness, she’ll be grateful to me and help me without seeking revenge.”
Noticing Yuri’s silence, Sheena added, “Rest assured, I’m no saint. I won’t let go of those who genuinely harm me. Then again, death is too easy, and torturing them is the best revenge.”
Yuri caught her wicked smile and chuckled along. “Mr. Lawson’s guess was indeed right. You’re quite the scheming little troublemaker.”
Sheena shot him a glare. “Are
you two talking behind my back? Have you forgotten that I’m the actual boss of Angle Group? Do you want to be fired?”
Yuri immediately regretted what he said and stammered, “D–Don’t! I’m sorry!”
Sheena did not tease him further and just massaged her shoulders. “Let’s go back. I need a good sleep and some rest. This matter isn’t over yet, and tomorrow will probably be another tough battle.”
As she finished speaking, she turned to look at the quiet street and found a large, branded store owned by the Moore Group already out of business.
