Chapter 455


    Sheena’s face turned pale when she heard Corey’s furious roar.


    She needed to calm herself! The situation was getting out of control!


    Elliot remained silent, standing tall and proud. His deep eyes showed no fear, looking like he would do


    it again if he could.


    In Corey’s eyes, his demeanor was clearly one of provocation. Enraged, Corey was prepared to pull


    the trigger.


    “No, please stop! You’ve got it all wrong! It was me, I–I initiated it!”


    Sheena trembled with embarrassment, and her toes curled in difort. Compared to Elliot’s life, her


    legs were of lesser importance.


    Corey raised an eyebrow, puzzled.


    “If you don’t believe me, you can check his neck. It was me… I couldn’t resist…”


    As she spoke, her voice got softer, and she covered her face in shame, her entire face felt like it was


    burning up.


    Corey, full of doubt, still held onto the gun as he approached Elliot.


    Elliot stood motionless, letting Corey uncover the woolen scarf. The numerous deep red love bites on


    his neck left Corey dumbfounded.


    That was just too much…


    The air fell silent, and the atmosphere turned awkward.


    Sheena tightly covered her face, wishing she could dig a hole and hide. Now, not only did Lionel know


    about her romantic escapade at the hospital, but even Corey and Barbara were in the know!


    It was truly humiliating!


    Frustrated, Sheena suddenly felt a firm grip on her right ear, and the force. seemed to want to add


    another shade of red to her already flushed earlobe.


    “Ouch! It hurts! Corey, we’re in public! Eli and Lionel are still watching. Don’t embarrass me…”


    Corey was furious. “Well done, Sheena! You’ve truly made me proud. Shouldn’t I praise you for this?”


    “No need for praise. I’m quite modest! Just go easy on the scolding.”


    “Still as cheeky as ever, eh?”

    Corey’s gaze intensified with a dangerous aura as he released Sheena’s ear. Instead, he gripped the


    back of her neck like he was holding a kitten.


    “Go home! It’s time to mourn for your legs!”


    Sheena covered her face, feeling helpless.


    Was she going to be beaten at home for this?


    Filled with anger, Corey turned to walk toward the car. He held her wrist, ready to drag her along, but


    someone grabbed his wrist from behind.


    Elliot narrowed his dark eyes, a coldness lurking within. “Mr. Corey, Nana is ant adult. She has the right


    to choose what she wants to do. Besides, she’s my fiancee, and there’s nothing inappropriate about


    her actions.”

    “There’s no need for outsiders to interfere with how I handle my sister!” Corey nced at him, coldly


    mocking, “I heard the Jenkins family had a strict


    upbringing. I never expected someone from the family to be so indecent. Don’t think she’s protecting


    you. I know that you’re deceiving her! After I break her legs, I’lle for you!”


    The two men locked eyes, and the atmosphere became tense.


    Corey turned to leave, but Elliot grabbed his wrist tightly, refusing to let go.


    Corey’s anger red, and he released Sheena, swiftly pushing Elliot. He put all his strength into it, and


    Elliot, choosing not to retaliate, took the blow to his chest. With a muffled groan, Elliot staggered


    backward, his face turning pale. Soon, intense pain spread through his chest, aggravating the gunshot


    wound. A surge of blood rushed up, and he tried to swallow it back, but it spilled from his lips, staining


    them red.


    “Eli!”
