Chapter 304


    Lionel grimaced, holding his breath, while Nathaniel stared silently at the unfolding scene.


    Sheena released her grip angrily.


    Initially thinking she was about tofort him, Elijah found his hopes dashed. His eyes welled up,


    portraying innocence and heartache. Due to his originally paleplexion, the areal Sheena had


    pinched on his left cheek turned red, making him look utterly pitiable.


    Elijah red at Sheena, silently using her of unfair treatment.


    Sheena remained emotionless, ignoring him, and turned her gaze toward Lionel. “Take him back to the


    mansion,” she ordered.


    Then, she walked straight toward Nathaniel.


    Seeing her approach, Nathaniel’s face lit up with a smile. “Let’s go. What would you like to eat? I’ll have


    someone make a reservation right away.”


    Witnessing this scene, Elijah felt a sudden tightness in his chest, struggling to breathe. Dizziness


    overcame him, and the pain in his face, wrists, and heart intensified. Despite the difort, he trailed


    behind Sheena.


    “If you insist on dining with him, it’s fine. I’m hungry too. I believe Mr. Nicholls won’t mind Man extra


    person.


    Nathaniel remained silent but wore a visibly displeased expression.


    “I mind,” Sheena replied, ring coldly at Elijah. “Since you insist on continuing the employment


    contract, you must follow the arrangements. Go back to Ocean Avenue.”


    Elijah was left speechless. Under the bright sunlight, his face appeared ghostly pale, almost


    transparent. Sheena paid him no attention, departing with Nathaniel, followed by John and Nathaniel’s


    subordinates.


    Once everyone was out of sight, Elijah remained stunned in his spot, clutching his chest fiercely and


    struggling to breathe. He took a staggering step backward, almost falling.


    Lionel hurriedly stepped forward to support Elijah.


    “Mr. Freeman, why does this move of yours feel like you’re…peting for affection?”


    Lionel’s words only added to Elijah’s difort, especially when he realized how he could not stop her


    from having lunch with Nathaniel no matter how he tried.


    She was truly heartless toward him.


    Seeing Elijah’s increasingly unpleasant expression, Lionel tried tofort him, “Mr. Freeman, don’t


    worry. Ms. Sheena is not a superficial woman. Although Mr. Nathaniel is indeed in good shape, has a


    good temperament, and, most importantly, a handsome face…” However, the more Lionel spoke, the


    paler Elijah’s face became, and he started feeling dizzy. Lionel was terrified by hisplexion and


    quickly added, “No, no! Mr. Freeman, what I mean is, you’re not bad either. In fact, you’re better than


    Nathaniel.”


    Elijah asked, “What makes me better?”


    Lionel went silent, scratching his head in thought.


    Elijah patiently waited for an answer.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    After a long pause, during which Elijah’s pale face turned progressively darker, Lionel hesitated before


    suggesting, “Well, since we’recking in that… How about revealing your true identity and letting Ms.


    Sheena know how impressive you really are?”


    “Get lost.”


    Elijah gritted his teeth. If he had not been injected with the modified 023, he would have delivered a


    swift punch to the face of this idiot in front of him. After all, his identity was tied to a significant mission,


    and he could not afford to reveal it so easily. Moreover, Sheena was not the type to judge people based


    on their status.


    He pinched his abdominal muscles through his shirt in frustration.


    Thinking of Nathaniel’s gorgeous face with those rare deep blue irises, Elijah felt a pang of jealousy.


    Lionel noticed his mood and continued to console him, “Mr. Freeman, don’t give up. When ites to


    pursuing someone, no one is more shameless than you. In this regard, Nathaniel can’tpare to you


    at all!”
