Chapter 290


    Elijah cleared his dry throat and observed Sheena’s expression. Seeing no significant change, he


    continued speaking-


    “At the g, Bethany was just the executor. There’s someone orchestrating things in the background.


    This person is very cunning, calcting every move urately. While Bethany imed to ally with me,


    she secretly prepared for my refusal and attempted to silence me.”


    His burning throat protested as he spoke too much, sending him into a coughing fit. Sheena casually


    handed him a cup, letting him pour water himself, and teased, “Aren’t you afraid I might suspect you of


    intentionally revealing the cooperation?”


    “If you want the truth, I won’t hide it from you,” Elijah responded.


    Whether she believed him or not was not something he could decide.


    “Is that so?” Sheena smiled, propping her chin with one hand, and leaning on her knee. She looked at


    him with a mischievous grin and added, “Then I want to know what happened to Sawyer, the real


    story.”

    After contemting, Elijah confessed, “He offended me, so I had Lionel hurt him.”


    Lionel?


    Sheena furrowed her brow, sensing there might be more to the story. Nevertheless, given Elijah’s


    honesty, Sheena made a rough guess that it was probably rted to Howard.


    Despite setting aside this matter, whether Bethany was the executor or the mastermind, Sheena felt


    uneasy if she did not settle the score.


    Rising from her seat, she smoothed her velvet skirt. “Since it was your man who harmed my


    bodyguard, your people will have to handle my business. I’m going to make the Carver family pay for


    what they’ve done!”


    Her bright eyes sparkled with a cold, arrogant confidence.


    Elijah, staring at the glimmer in her eyes, was momentarily stunned. By the time he regained his


    composure, Sheena had already grabbed the ck coat from the rack, preparing to leave. He quickly


    followed suit, contacting Lionel, and gathering Logan and a few others to act as her temporary


    workforce for the day.


    Upon their arrival, Sheena took a quick nce and deemed it insufficient.


    Elijah exined, “Sheena, they’ve all fought for their lives and are very skilled. Besides, just Lionel


    alone is enough to deal with the Carver mansion’s bunch of useless bodyguards.”


    Sheena thought that was still not enough. After all, she was caught in a fight against 40 men with just


    three on her side a couple of days ago. She wanted Bethany to feel the overwhelming force of this


    imposing group fully.


    However, Ford and Paul were still in the hospital. Meanwhile, John and Sawyer seemed to be injured.


    Hence, she decided to call Sarah.


    “Get some people from the organization with a good foundation in fighting. I’m about to get into a fight!”


    Chapter 290


    Elijah, standing nearby, overheard and caught onto the mention of an organization.


    Soon enough, Sheena gathered a formidable force of 50 people. With Elijah’s men and herself


    included, they added up to 58. As they walked, the ground trembled beneath their imposing


    presence.


    The sight of this force from afar was downright intimidating. Sheena was satisfied and ready to set out


    when she suddenly felt someone grabbing her wrist.


    Elijah stared at her with a gloomy expression, asking, “You’re not taking me?”


    Sheena gently patted his pale cheek and chuckled. “Be good. You’re still sick. This is too much for you.


    Even though Sheena did not mean it that way, those words deeply pricked Elijah’s nerves, especially


    when she said it in front of so many people.


    Elijah, with a solemn face, emphasized, “I can do it!”


    At the Carver mansion, boredom hung over the entrance guards until suddenly, they sensed a well–


    trained and imposing array of footsteps that made the water cup ced on the table vibrate.


    They turned their heads in surprise.


    A gorgeous woman in a red dress and windbreaker, with amanding and enchanting presence,


    appeared with a group of men, marching menacingly toward them from 50 meters


    away.


    Despite her much smaller stature than the men behind her, her presence still stood out like a queen on


    a high pedestal apanied by her ck knights.


    “Oh, damn!” The Carver family’s bodyguards were frightened. “Hurry and notify Ms. Carver and Madam


    Carver!”
