Chapter 86
Hers?
Were they her lovers?
Why were there two of them?
Elijah was livid. “Do you even realize what you’re doing? Don’t you have self–respect?!”
In Elijah’s opinion, Sheena was being shameless.
Sheena chuckled at his words. “Mr. Freeman, did you forget that we’re divorced? My affairs have nothing to do with you! Why the jealousy?”
“Who said I’m jealous?” Elijah stumbled over his words. Indeed, he had no right to interfere in this matter. Unable to retort, Elijah changed the topic and asked, “What was the text about?
TI
“What text?”
Elijah stared intensely into her eyes as if trying to uncover any lies.
“Did you have something to do with Jenny getting beaten up and almost humiliated?”
Sheena chuckled softly, locking eyes with him. Suddenly, she grinned and asked, “What do you think?”
After saying that, Sheena turned around and walked away proudly. Then, she added, “You better focus on your fiancee. Her emotional state seems rather fragile right now.”
Elijah wanted to approach her, but Sheena’s bodyguards stood in his way.
“Mr. Freeman.”
Leon appeared, looking somber.
Elijah did not pursue Sheena any further and headed to the fifth floor, finding an empty smoking room.
“This situation is quite strange. Our team started investigating, but the other side was prepared and destroyed all the evidence. We came up empty–handed, with no leads so far…”
Leon paused, looking around as if contemplating whether to continue.
Elijah glanced at him, prompting him to proceed.
Leon bit the bullet and continued, “Mr. Lawson of the Angle Group and Mr. Skye Zimmer seem to have the ability to eliminate evidence quickly, and these two are quite close to Ms. Sheena…”
Leon was obviously suspecting Sheena.
Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly. When he asked Sheena about the text message, she
genuinely seemed unaware. However, she appeared to know something when he inquired if she was involved in Jennifer’s injuries.
Elijah stubbed out his cigarette and said, “This matter isn’t that simple.”

“But…” Leon protested, “Perhaps it is. Maybe you’re just biased, Mr. Freeman:”
Elijah glanced at Leon with a chilling gaze.
“If this happened to Sheena instead of Jenny, whose side would you take?”
Leon did not hesitate and replied, “Of course, it would be Ms. Moore. She’s kind and innocent. It’s hard to believe she’s capable of something so sinister. On the other hand, Sheena has been quite ruthless on several occasions.”
Elijah was surprised, frowning as he looked at Leon, “You and Jenny…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Freeman. My regard for Ms. Moore is purely out of respect for her status as your fiancee, and that’s why I’m supporting her,” Leon quickly explained.
After that, he lowered his head again.
Elijah remained indifferent, staring at Leon as if he could see through him.
Leon felt uneasy, lowering his head even further.
“Find out who Jennifer has been in contact with over the past few days via calls or text messages. Also, continue investigating that other matter I asked you to look into. I want results within three days.”
Leon clenched his palms, feeling disheartened.
Jennifer was the victim, yet Elijah was investigating her. Despite his displeasure, he kept up an obedient front. “Yes, Mr. Freeman.”
Once Leon left, Elijah dialed another number.
“Jonah, I need you to look into a few things.”
