Chapter 313


    With the echoing gunshot, Elijah suddenly felt a sharp pain, not in his heart but in his right arm.


    Startled, he opened his eyes and saw a blood streak on his white shirt where the bullet had grazed his


    arm.


    Themotion behind him had also stopped.


    Turning around, Elijah found Jennifer frozen in ce while attacking him, her expression turning from


    ferocious to numb.


    A bullet had pierced through her chest, and blood stained her clothes red.


    Jennifer stood there in shock, her face growing pale upon seeing the blood on her chest. Within


    moments, her eyes rolled back, and she copsed.


    Outside the cabin, rhythmic apuse resonated.


    With an approving gaze, Nathaniel looked at Sheena andmented, “Nana, you’re too modest.


    Despite not handling a gun for so many years, your marksmanship is still impable. Truly worthy of


    the skills I once taught.”


    Sheena tossed aside the revolver without responding, her face void of warmth.


    Elijah remained rooted in his spot, locking eyes with Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel smirked and continued, “You’ve won. Nana and I were just ying a little game, letting her


    choose between you and this woman. Even after yourte–night meeting with an old me in the


    outskirts, she still chose you. I envy you for that.”


    “A game?” Elijah’s heart sank, a cold shiver running down his spine. He pressed his lips tightly


    together, casting a questioning gaze at Sheena.


    Sheena did not look at Elijah,pletely focused on the lifeless Jennifer, and addressed Nathaniel, “Is


    this the oue you wanted to see? Is it entertaining enough?”


    “Not at all, because I upset you,” Nathaniel replied, his tone softer. “Nana, you’re still young. It’s


    understandable if you want a handsome little pet. But I can also y along. How long do you want this


    act tost? I’ll y along. After all, our years of affection should be deeper than your connection with


    this man, right?”


    Elijah furrowed his brow even tighter, keenly catching Nathaniel mentioning years of affection.


    Both men’s eyes were fixed on Sheena.


    Sheena stared straight ahead, refusing to look at either of them. She turned and walked out of the


    cabin, speaking as she moved, “It’s veryte, and I’m tired. Mr. Nicholls, since the game was your


    request, I’ll let you handle this mess on your own.‘


    She took a few steps outside, noticing Elijahgging behind. Then, she reminded him, “Aren’t you


    coming along? Or do you n to walk back?”


    Elijah hurriedly caught up.


    Passing by Nathaniel, both men red at each other with disdain.


    On the return to Ocean Avenue in the car, the atmosphere was tense, and no one spoke to break the


    silence.


    Elijah cautiously turned his head, stealing a nce at Sheena.


    She was looking out the car window at the passing scenery, expressionless and cold. Themplight


    cast a dim halo on her side profile, outlining her breathtakingly beautiful face. Elijah was relieved that


    Sheena had only targeted Jennifer behind him, not him directly. However, the atmosphere inside the


    car was heavy, and Sheena seemed displeased.


    John, the driver, did not even dare to move.


    Elijah tentatively reached out, crossing the unspoken boundary between them, and gently tugging at


    her sleeve..


    Sheena showed no reaction, still gazing out the window.

    Elijah cleared his throat twice, pouting slightly. “Sheena, I’m injured…”


    Sheena remained quiet.


    “You’re the one who hurt me.”


    Still no response…
