As soon as Mnia saw Nathaniel leading people in, she instantly slumped into a chair. She had heard
from acquaintances at the police station that Nathaniel was leaving Farlem.
So why was he still here?
With this man around, today’s situation was looking grim.
The Carver family’s bodyguards quickly shrank when the police, armed with batons, rushed in.
Bethany sat on the floor, feelingpletely hopeless.
However, when Nathaniel entered, his gaze remained fixed on Sheena. He walked over and sat next to
her with perfect posture.
Sheena furrowed her brows but quickly concealed any hint of unease, looking back at Bethany and
Mnia.
“Bethany, I don’t want to waste any more words. Whatever crimes you and the Carver family have
with interest. If the funds are insufficient, sell properties and even mortgage the Carver Group,‘
Nathaniel stated matter–of–factly, putting pressure on the Carver family due to his influence.
Bethany and Mnie were reluctant, but under Nathaniel’s pressure, they all remained silent like
mute spectators.
Sheena smoothed her dress and nced at Nathaniel beside her. She softly said, “Nate, I’m a bit tired,
so I’ll leave you to handle things here. By the way, Bethany likes tearing paper. Should we let her shred
all the papers in the hall and take them back to the police station?”
Nathaniel looked at her affectionately, saying, “I’ll follow your lead, but…”
He paused, gently taking Sheena’s hand before continuing, “I’ve done you such a big favor, but you
stood me upst night. How aboutpensating me today?”
Sheena smiled, her voice sultry as she responded, “Of course! Nate,e to Ocean Avenue tonight
after you finish your task. I’ll personally cook for you to make it up to you. How does that sound?”
Nathaniel was pleasantly surprised. However, he remembered the annoying man in her mansion and
added, “But there’s someone I don’t want to see at your ce.”
Sheena shrugged indifferently. “That’s no problem. He’s just my servant. We’ll have a few drinks
tonight, and I’ll have him stand by and pour you drinks. What do you say?”

Nathaniel, observing her calm demeanor with a hint of indulgence in his eyes, smiled and replied, ‘
Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
“I’ll head back now and wait for you tonight, Nate,” Sheena said. She withdrew her hand from
Nathaniel’s palm and turned to Ian. “You stay behind and see if Nate needs any help. No cking off.”

“Yes, Miss.”
After that, Sheena left the Carver mansion, leaving the rest to Nathaniel and the police. It was not until
she got into her car that her expression gradually turned cold. She opened a pack of wet wipes from
her bag and cleaned her hands.
After resolving matters with the Carver family, Sheena made a brief stop at Angle Group as she had
some time to spare and focused on checking the recent progress of Skye and Phoebe’s projects. She
remained busy until the afternoon, deciding to return to Ocean Avenue two hours earlier than nned.
Upon her return, Elijah was crouched on the floor, cleaning. With the effects of the special medication
in his system worn off, household chores became much more manageable.
Seeing Sheena return so early, Elijah found it strange. “You’re back quite early today. It’s only mid-
afternoon. You’re not nning to have dinner yet, right?”
Sheena nodded lightly, standing at the doorway without moving.
Sensing her mood, Elijah set aside his work, washed his hands, and walked over to help her change
into slippers and hang up her coat. Afterpleting these tasks, he resumed cleaning the floor.
Sheena did not go upstairs. Instead, she sat on the sofa, silently observing him as he worked.
After a few minutes, she finally spoke, “Put aside the things in your hands for now ande here.”
“Alright.” Elijah washed his hands again, then walked over, kneeling at her feet.
