    Chapter 301


    All eyes turned to Elijah.


    Unfazed, Elijah casually quipped, “Nothing much, just marveling at Captain Maurice’s skill in ttery.”


    The implication was a subtle mockery of Maurice’s deliberate praise, and there was a hint of disdain


    toward Nathaniel.


    Locked in a silent exchange of res, sparks flew between the two men. The air thickened with


    tension, creating an atmosphere so tense that others dared not interfere.


    Sheena tapped the table, reminding them, “Let’s focus on the matter at hand. My time is valuable.


    The two men reluctantly withdrew their hostile nces and redirected their attention to the


    proceedings. Nathaniel scrutinized the documents once more before addressing Mnia and Bethany.


    “Madam Carver, if you use Sheena of being the mastermind, you should present reasonable


    evidence. If you can’t, I’ll have to release her.”


    Mnia bit her lip. Yesterday, Sheena’s bodyguards had destroyed all evidence before leaving.


    Besides Bethany’s injuries and the testimonies of household staff, she had nothing substantial to offer.


    She had hoped that with connections at the Farlem police station, she could discreetly pin the me on


    Sheena.


    However, Nathaniel’s sudden intervention left Mnia helpless.


    Frustrated, she looked at Sheena and eximed, “Don’t think that just because you have influential


    backers, you can do as you please. Your recklessness will catch up with you sooner orter!


    Sheena idly yed with her hair. In response to Mnia’s words, she raised an eyebrow and said,


    “Madam Carver, you’re right. As for when I’ll slip up, that remains uncertain, but the golden days of the


    Carver family are surelying to an end.”


    “Sheena!” Mnia was infuriated.


    The Carver Group was the fruition of her family’s efforts over generations.


    She gritted her teeth and demanded, “Even if you won’t admit to intentionally harming Bethany or


    damaging my family’s cars, the fact that you took away our orange tree is undeniable. It’s bound to be


    found in your residence, and you think you can deny that too?”

    “Oh, that thing,” Sheena pondered momentarily, then openly admitted, “Madam Carver, you invited me


    to the Carver Mansion as a guest. I found that orange tree appealing and took it as a souvenir. If you


    disapprove, I can return it.”


    Like hell she would return it!


    She devoured all her favorite fruits!


    “Since you took it, then pay for it!” Mnia insisted, trying to extort Sheena for eating her


    expensive fruits.


    “Sure,” Sheena agreed without hesitation.


    Mnia was taken aback by her straight forwardness and added, “I want cash!”


    That tree was expensive, and she wanted several times its value!


    “Sure, let’s do as you please,” Sheena replied casually and texted John. She then turned to Maurice,


    saying, “Captain Maurice, Madam Carver wants cash. I’ve instructed the bodyguards to bring the


    money over. When they arrive, make sure your people let them through.”


    Seeing the mention of “bodyguards,” Maurice wondered how many wereing. However, pressured


    by Nathaniel’s presence, he hesitated to ask and could only nod reluctantly.


    “Alright, you can trust me.”


    In the few minutes of waiting for the bodyguards, the interrogation room returned to a quiet state.


    Nathaniel and Sheena locked eyes from a distance.


    Nathaniel smiled gently, his deep blue eyes exuding a charming allure that seemed to speak to the


    heart.


    Sheena, on the other hand, remained indifferent.


    Elijah, keenly observing their eye contact, wondered if there was a story between them. He noticed the


    reaction, so… could she actually have feelings for Nathaniel?


    Feeling a lump in his chest, Elijah coughed forcefully, hoping to grab their attention.


    The loud and abrupt sound caught even caught Mnia, Bethany, and Maurice’s notice. However,


    Sheena
