Chapter 265


    If it really was not Elijah, then this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Sheena started to


    contemte the incident, and even though there was a hint of suspicion when she looked at Elijah, she


    squeezed his cheek forcefully.


    “I’ll believe you this time. If I catch you lying to me again, I’ll throw you into prison immediately. Let’s


    see how long you can endure in there and how soon your subordinates can get you out,” Sheena


    warned, retracting her hand.


    Elijah slumped to the floor,pletely drained. He wanted to speak, but suddenly, a sweet, metallic


    taste surged up his throat, choking him. It felt like his lungs were about to be coughed up.


    He was not afraid of going to jail. Even if Sheena threw him in, there were not many inside who dared


    to cross him. However, he did not want Sheena to continue misunderstanding him.


    “If I lie… I’ll suffer horribly,” Elijah managed to say between coughs.


    Sheena nced at him disdainfully.


    Elijah’s face had turned pale from coughing, and he still had a fever. In moments of difort, he


    looked particrly agonized.

    Whether it was due to the modified serum or not, Elijah appeared like someone who had been


    chronically ill and never fully recovered. Seeing him in this miserable state, even Ford and John felt a


    twinge of sympathy.


    Sheena, however, remained expressionless. When she stared at Elijah, it was unclear what thoughts


    crossed her mind. After a while, she turned to Ford and John, saying, “Which one of you is going to


    prepare some chicken soup for him and bring it over?”


    Ford and John exchanged helpless nces.


    “Miss, we can fight, but we never learned how to cook,” Ford confessed.


    John echoed, “I don’t know how either, really!”


    Sheena was speechless.


    Maybe she should hire a few bodyguards with some cooking skills next time?


    She nced back at the person on the floor, contemting whether to tell him to handle it himself. The


    person seemed to notice her gaze and suddenly coughed even more forcefully, sounding pitiable.


    “Alright, you guys help him back to bed. I’ll go cook,” Sheena instructed.


    “Yes, Ms. Lawson.”


    After giving orders, Sheena headed downstairs and found the ingredients in the fridge. She


    immediately started to prepare the chicken soup. Once John helped Elijah back to bed, he joined her in


    the kitchen.

    “Ms. Lawson, do you believe Mr. Freeman’s words?” John asked.


    “Not entirely. I only trust the final evidence. If it’s really not him, there will always be clues,” Sheena


    replied, “Since he imed to have sent away Colin, investigate this matter further and see if it aligns


    with his story.”


    “Understood.” John nodded and continued, “Actually, I trust Mr. Freeman. From his ability to get Leon


    out of prison and back without anyone noticing, he must have formidable power behind him. Taking


    Jennifer away would have been easy for him. If he truly wanted to take her away, he would have done


    it long ago.”


    “And then taking Jennifer to a small country by sea would make her almost impossible to find. So, he


    had no reason to stay in the mansion after finishing that task, risking being discovered by you,” John


    reasoned.


    Sheena remained silent. Yesterday, she was fueled by anger, and Elijah misinterpreted her words,


    readily admitting fault without delving deeper into the details. Now, upon careful consideration, there


    were indeed many loopholes in the story.


    If it was not him, then who could it be?


    A sudden thought crossed Sheena’s mind.


    Could it be the person from the Lawson family who harmed her? If so, when did they discover she was


    alive, and how did they know she was in Farlem?


    Why would they release Jennifer from prison, and what was their next move?
