    Sheena frowned. “What happened to him?”


    “Mr. Freeman… is gone,” Ford struggled to say.


    Sheena froze on the spot.


    Gone?


    The person who chatted with her all night and told stories just the night before. How could he be gone


    when she woke up?


    Sheena could not believe it. “Gone? What do you mean? Is he ying some kind of trick again?”


    Ford’s voice became more choked. “Ian said Mr. Freeman found out about the man in ck’s n to


    kill you. He asked Ian to keep it a secret, then went alone to deal with themst night to protect you.


    But h–he didn’te back.”


    Sheena took a step back, her expression shifting from shock to a cynical smile. ‘ Impossible! I don’t


    believe it. How could that jerk die so easily?”


    Ford remained silent. Seeing Sheena still doubted, he could not hold back his tears and started crying.


    Sheena scolded Ford, “Why are you crying like a baby? You’re a grown man! If you don’t stop, I’ll


    deduct half a year’s sry!”


    Upon hearing the sry deduction threat, Ford cried even louder. “Miss, Mr. Freeman is such a good


    person, yet he’s gone so soon. On top of that, you’re going to deduct my sry! I’m too sad! I just can’t


    stop these tears!”


    Looking at the tall and burly man crying his lungs out, Sheena could not help but feel a tinge of


    sympathy. Her eyes turned slightly red too.


    She took a deep breath and said calmly, “If he just hasn’t returned, there’s still hope. Send people to


    find him! Whether alive or dead, we need to see it for ourselves.”


    “Miss! Miss!” John hurriedly ran to her room. “Lionel called, asking you to return as soon as you’re


    done. He said Mr. Freeman is waiting for you at Ocean Avenue!”


    “Mr. Freeman didn’t die? Did he go back? He wasn’t injuredst night?” Ford sniffed, clearly relieved.

    Sheena did not say anything. Instead, she looked at John, waiting for him to


    answer.

    John shook his head. “I don’t know. Lionel just said this much, but since Mr. Freeman is waiting for you


    at Ocean Avenue, he should’ve returned safely.”


    Hearing this, both Sheena and Ford breathed sighs of relief.


    “Pack up, book the earliest flight, and let’s return to Farlem as soon as possible.”


    She wanted to see what Elijah and Ian were up to!


    “Yes, Miss.”


    The group moved swiftly, boarding the earliest flight back to Farlem.


    However, by the time they returned to Ocean Avenue, it was nearing evening. Winter had set in, and


    the sky remained gloomy as if ready to pour down heavy rain at any moment.


    Despite the biting cold wind, it could not deter Sheena. Once inside the mansion, Ian was nowhere to


    be found, and the entire ce was silent.


    Perplexed, Sheena quickly opened the mansion’s door. A chilly breeze blew in from the open windows.


    The lights were off, and the familiar figure in the kitchen, who greeted her every day and handed her


    slippers, was absent.


    “Elijah?” Sheena called out, but there was no response.


    She surveyed the living room, finding nothing. Finally, she noticed a small note on the coat rack.


    It read, [The weather is getting colder. Even if you’re indoors, remember to wear an extrayer. Your


    figure is fantastic. Even in an oversized coat, you’re still a beauty.]


    Sheena’s expression turned serious as she shouted upstairs, “Elijah! What are you up to?”


    The only response was the prolonged silence in the air.


    Sheena went to his room, where the nket was neatly folded, and the bed was cold. Besides the


    sound of the chilly wind rustling the thin curtains, the room was eerily quiet.


    Growing more suspicious, Sheena had a bad feeling and went to the third floor, but Elijah was nowhere


    to be seen.
