    Sheena nodded solemnly and replied, “Hmm… She is quite alluring.”


    However, She was like Helen of Troy, beautiful but also a harbinger of cmity,


    Anne was still looking at the photo.


    After a few more nces, she jokingly remarked, “It’s so strange, but she resembles me.”


    Sheena shook her head.


    Anne questioned, “Don’t you agree?”


    “No. I’d say there’s only a rough 60% simrity,” Sheena replied.


    Anne smiled brightly. “Well, isn’t that a coincidence? It seems like you and I are quite fated. I


    remember you mentioning her sisterst time, but I didn’t expect her to look somewhat like me.”


    Sheena did not want to indulge in Anne’s irrelevant chatter and redirected the conversation.


    “Ms. Windsor, can you tell me where exactly you farmed in the countryside?”


    Anne carefully recalled.


    “Sorry, Ms. Lawson, I really don’t remember. I have a terrible sense of direction, and I’m unfamiliar


    with the names of ces. I might not remember its name even if I’ve been to a ce a few times.


    But I’m sure I haven’t seen your sister: If I had encountered a girl who looked like me, I wouldn’t


    forget her. Maybe we


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    could’ve even be friends.”


    Observing her facial expression, Sheena uttered understandingly, “Alright, I won’t press you further.


    I’ll stoppeting for your coborations with otherpanies, and I can even offer you a


    coborative. project aspensation.”


    Anne’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Really? You’re even offering me a contract?”


    Sheena nodded affirmatively. “As long as you’re willing to stay in Froania for a few more days,


    consider it


    done.”


    “Of course, no problem. Thank you, Ms. Lawson. I’m sure you have a lot of work to do, so I won’t


    bother you further,” Anne replied promptly.


    After a polite bow, she got up to leave.


    Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and turned back to continue,


    “But,


    Ms. Lawson, when you mentioned staying a few more days, how long exactly did you have in mind?


    If it’s


    too long, Paulo might start to worry. After all, he’s in Ouna, and I came to Froania alone this time.”


    Sheena expressed understanding, “Don’t worry, just five days at most. Tomorrow afternoon, you


    can meet me here, and I’ll take you to a fun ce.”


    “Okay, no problem.”


    With the coboration secured and Sheena’s resentments seemingly resolved, Anne appeared


    much happier as she walked out.


    Sheena maintained a polite smile, watching her figure disappear through the ss door.


    Once Anne waspletely out of sight, Sheena’s smile faded instantly, reced by a cold and icy


    expression.


    Each word and expression seemed wless, almost like that of a seasoned actress.


    She pondered over the fact that She had no one to rely on in all of Froania, no family or friends


    except


    for one person.


    She would take Anne to meet that person tomorrow, and perhaps it might reveal some clues.


    Chapter 1087


    After roughly organizing her thoughts, Sheena quickly refocused and immersed herself in her work.


    The afternoon flew by swiftly, with the setting sun painting the skyline outside red, casting a warm


    glow on her striking profile.


    Since being diagnosed with bipr disorder, Sheena has been visiting Yosef to receive treatment


    for a week now.


    Before her rm clock, set to go off half an hour before quitting time, could chime, her phone rang.


    She nced at the screen–it was Phoebe.


    Upon answering the call, Sheena immediately asked, “Did you run away from home again?”


    Phoebe was taken aback by the suddenment and did not immediately answer Sheena.


    Noticing her silence, Sheena asked, “Or… are you feeling moody? Where are you? Do you want to


    meet up and talk about it?”


    Phoebe answered, “No, I’m fine these days. I’ve just been at home studying alone and feeling


    bored. I’m done with the reading and want to y some games. Do you have time?”


    Ah, Mobile Heroes–the game Sheena had grown fond of, thanks to Phoebe’s influence,


    “I was just about to wrap up work. A few rounds of that game should be quick. Let’s do it.”


    Theyunched the game and activated voice chat, engaging in conversation while ying ranked


    matches.


    Sheena initially nned to y only a few rounds, but luck was not on their side for some reason.


    Their teammates were all underperforming, resulting in three consecutive losses.


    Determined to end with a win, they insisted on ying one more match before logging off.


    Each loss fueled their determination to y one more round, while each win left them unsatisfied,


    craving


    another match.


    Sheena activated her phone’s exclusive gaming mode during the game, silencing all calls and


    messages.


    While waiting anxiously at home, Elliot tried calling her multiple times but could not reach her.


    As the red hues of sunset faded into the night, the sky darkened.


    Sheena remained seated in her office chair, ying the game in the dim light.


    Suddenly, the overhead lights flickered on, revealing Elliot’s grim expression as he stood at the


    doorway, silently observing her.
