Chapter 419


    Colin felt unfairly used but facing Elliot’s questioning and the act of forcibly taking Sheena away, he


    was quite displeased..


    “Mr. Jenkins suspects me of drugging her? I disdain such despicable acts. Sheena was just in a bad


    mood, and I was keeping herpany with a drink. Now that she’s drunk, I intend to take her back to


    rest.”


    He stepped forward, attempting to retrieve Sheena, but Elliot dogged him, holding her tightly.


    “No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Upton. I’ll take care of her.”


    Colin’s expression gradually hardened. “Mr. Jenkins, do you also have feelings. for Sheena?”


    “Yes.”


    Colin was irritated. Just when Elijah had left, Elliot came swooping in instead.


    “Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to hold her like this, Mr. Jenkins? Besides, Sheena has just returned to


    Svelton and doesn’t know you well. We share a long–standing rtionship, so it might be better if you


    let me take care of her.”


    Colin was prepared to insist, but Lionel stepped before him, blocking his way.


    “Mr. Upton, there’s no need to trouble yourself. Ms. Sheena and Mr. Jenkins are engaged. It’s only


    reasonable for him to look after her.”


    “Engaged?”


    When did this happen?


    Why did he not hear any news about it?


    Seeing his confusion, Lionel exined, “It was confirmedst night when Mr. Santiago Jenkins


    personally visited the Lawson family. The news will be officially announced at Ms. Sheena’s wee


    banquet. Please understand, Mr. Upton, whot the outsider is here.”


    Colin’s face turned pale. He had not expected the Jenkins family to move so quickly, and Albert had


    agreed directly!


    Elliot was Sheena’s fiancé, and he was just a friend. In this situation, he couldn’t gain the upper hand.


    Seeing Colin no longer blocking their way, Elliot carried Sheena and prepared to leave.

    Sheena nestled on his broad chest, smelling the familiar tobo scent. Almost instinctively, her hands


    tightly wrapped around his neck.


    “Don’t go. You said


    You


    won’t leave me…”


    Colin heard it, too, and smirked, “Mr. Jenkins, it seems Sheena would rather go with me.”


    Elliot stiffened, looking down at Sheena, who was unconscious but still wore a distressed expression.


    This morning, she mentioned having a man she liked.


    Was it Colin?


    She even came to Hedone Bar with Colin. Moreover, she had good alcohol tolerance and high


    alertness, so how did she end up defenseless and drunk like this?


    It seemed she truly cared about Colin.


    Then again, why Colin of all people…


    Elliot suppressed the stifling feeling, concealing the pain in his eyes. In a hoarse voice, he said, “Lionel,


    please ask Mr. Upton to leave.”


    Lionel stepped forward to escort Colin away.


    Colin was unwilling to ept this. “Mr. Jenkins, you shouldn’t force her to do anything she doesn’t


    want. You should respect her choice and let me take her to rest.”


    Elliot turned around, casting a cold, disdainful nce at him. “She’s my fiancee. Whatever I choose to


    do is more appropriate than anything you’d suggest.”

    With this ominous statement, Elliot confidently carried Sheena away.


    “Mr. Jenkins, you’ve only known her for a short time. She won’t like you! If you darey a finger on her,


    be prepared for the consequences when she wakes up!” Colin continued shouting anxiously from


    behind.


    Elliot chose to ignore him, striding away with Sheena in his arms.


    Upon reaching the hotel entrance, they bumped into John and Sawyer, who had just finished obtaining


    the room key and were hurrying back to the bar.


    The two first noticed Lionel. Elliot was wearing a mask, so they did not recognize him, but it was hard


    not to notice Sheena in his arms.


    “Why is Ms. Sheena in your arms? Where’s Mr. Upton?”


    Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lionel quickly exined, “This is Mr. Jenkins, my new superior. Ms.


    Sheena is extremely drunk, and Mr. Jenkins is nning to get a room to take care of her.”


    “But she won’t like it when she wakes up…”


    Lionel interrupted, “No ‘buts‘. The engagement was arranged by their families. Their marriage is


    inevitable. Ms. Sheena is intoxicated. Is there a more suitable person than Mr. Jenkins to take care of


    her? Is it you two or me?”


    John and Sawyer exchanged nces, left speechless.


    Lionel noticed the room key in John’s hand and taking advantage of their hesitation, snatched it and


    entered the hotel with Elliot.


    John and Sawyer quickly followed, standing guard at the room door.


    When Lionel came out, he patted the two on the shoulders. Then, he said in a friendly tone, “It’s been


    half a year. How about the three of us have a good drink tonight?”


    John hesitated. “Isn’t that inappropriate? Ms. Sheena is staying at the hotel, and we must watch over


    her.”
