However, Elijah effortlessly caught everything she threw and neatly arranged them on the make -up
table. He smiled affectionately at Sheena, but it felt like a provocation in Sheena’s

eyes.
Sheena was fuming with anger, and she searched the bedside table for anything else to throw, but it
was empty. Desperate, she reached for the deskmp, still plugged in. Instead of disconnecting it first,
she intended to force it out.
Seeing her actions, Elijah hastily raised his hands in surrender. “Wait! I was wrong. I’ll leave right
away.”
Sheena red at him fiercely until he closed the door behind him, disappearing from her sight. Only
then did she put the deskmp back in ce.
Looking at the array of bedside items on the opposite table, she silently got out of bed, retrieved the
pillows, took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and proceeded to the bathroom to wash up.
The following day, Sheena did not utter a single word during breakfast. No matter what Elijah said, she
ignored himpletely. After silently finishing breakfast, she headed to Angle Group.
Since she handed Nathaniel over to Elijah, she only needed to wait for the results.
In the office, she first called Corey and ryed the chemical name Elijah mentioned the previous night.
Corey’s information matched Elijah’s. Then, she contacted someone from Dark Bell to check images of
the injuries caused by the S40 corrosive agent on the skin.
Since it was aboratory chemical, standard searches would not yield results.
Ten minutester, Dark Bell sent her the images.
Upon careful observation, the injuries in the pictures closely resembled the ones on Elijah’s back. So,
was he telling the truth this time?
However, if it did not pose a life-threatening danger, why would Nathaniel talk about resolving Elijah in
such a manner?
Sheena felt she was missing some crucial detail but could not recall it. She summoned Ford and
instructed him, “During this period, secretly follow Elijah. Report all his movements after leaving the
house to me. Also, try to gather information on what he’s been saying without revealing our
surveince.”
Even though Ford did not understand why she was doing this, he nodded in agreement.
After Sheena left, Elijah washed the dishes and tidied up the mansion. Then, he also headed out to
deal with the situation regarding Nathaniel in the outskirts.
Upon seeing him, Lionel jogged over with a grin. “Good morning, Mr. Freeman.”
Elijah gave him a disdainful nce. “What’s the situation?”
Lionel shook his head. “He’s not willing to confess anything. After all, he climbed his way up

to the position of head of the Special Investigation Department step by step. He’s a tough nut
to crack.’
Elijah cast a cold nce toward the small cabin, saying, “No matter how tough he is, we’ll crush him.
We must extract something from him tomorrow at thetest.”
“Yes, sir.”
Lionel respectfully acknowledged and leaned in closer to Elijah, speaking in a hushed tone, Your guess
was indeed right. Ian is suspicious. Yesterday, he drove the car to the outskirts, disappeared for over
ten minutes after getting out of the car, and only returned when Ms. Sheena arrived.”
Elijah furrowed his brow. “Do you know where he went?”
Lionel shook his head. “This guy is really sly. Our people lost track of him.”
Elijah fell into contemtion. Finally, he said, “Alright, I’ll leave this to you. I’m heading back to Ocean
Avenue.”
At the mansion, Elijah did not go straight upstairs. Instead, he went to the backyard. Sheena had not
taken Ian to thepany today; he was left at Ocean Avenue. When Elijah returned, Ian had juste
down from the surveince post to use the restroom and was currently washing his hands.
Seeing Elijah walking toward him, Ian greeted with a smile, “Mr. Freeman, what a coincidence!
Elijah’s expression was icy. “It’s not a coincidence. I’m looking for you.”
Ian met his gaze, and his expression gradually turned serious.
