Chapter 729
Hearing Sheena’s voice, the girl turned to look at her, and her exquisitely beautiful face lit up with a
warm smile.
“Ms. Lawson, long time no see. How are you and Mr. Jenkins on this New Year’s Eve?”
“We’re doing well, thank you. It’s New Year’s Eve. Aren’t you participating in any countdown specials?
Why aren’t you with your family? Who allowed you to enter Mountville?”

“The guards at the foot of the mountain let me in. Ms. Lawson, please don’t misunderstand. My
endorsement contract with the Jenkins Group’s Project Rossi is about to expire. When I heard Mr.
Jenkins was here, I came personally, hoping he would consider giving me another endorsement
opportunity.”
Sheena narrowed her eyes skeptically. “Ms. She, you’ve been the reigning Best Actress and a
popr star. Do you have to personally handle your own contracts now? What are your agent and
company doing?”
“Well, the endorsement contract with the Jenkins Group is not easy to secure. My agent’s team might
be unable to handle it, so I didn’t want to miss this lucrative opportunity. Naturally, I had to make a
personal visit.”
Sheena stared at her, clearly not buying her story. If she indeed came looking for Elliot and found her
way to Mountville, then her source was impressively urate.
She smiled.
Despite being under twenty, her gaze was much shrewder than her peer Jacintha’s.
ncing at the mansion, She said, “Ms. Lawson, your family gathering today seems lively. Would it
be fine for me toe in and join?”
“We’re all family. It’s not suitable for you to join us.”
Sheena promptly refused, not bothering with pleasantries.
“Alright, it seems you have a deep bias against me.” She did not feel awkward and maintained her
smile.
“It’s getting dark. I’ll have the guards escort you down the mountain. Elliot is busy and probably won’t
discuss endorsement coborations with you anytime soon. Please leave.”
Sheena had no interest in continuing the conversation and dismissed her guest.
Inside the mansion, Corey was concerned as Sheena had not returned, so he came out to find her.
The moment he saw She, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“What are you doing here?”

Hearing Corey’s questioning tone, Sheena turned, looking puzzled.
“Do you two know each other?”
She remained silent, and Corey showed no extra expressions.
“No, we’re not. I just saw her a few times on TV. Nana, it’s cold outside. Come Inside with me.”
Corey hade out wearing a small fox fur cape, and he promptly draped it over Sheena, holding her
close.
He then instructed the guards at the entrance, “Escort this youngdy down the mountain.”
After giving the orders, he tightened his hold on Sheena, leading her back to the mansion without
sparing a nce for She.
She did not leave. She stood at the entrance for a long time and silently watched them.
The cold wind tousled her hair, concealing the chill in her eyes.
Only when the two figurespletely disappeared from sight did she turn and leave, apanied by
the guard on her way down the mountain.
On the way back to the mansion, Sheena had been observing Corey’s expression. She noticed that his
face turned grim ever since he saw She, yet it was difficult to discern what he was thinking.
Sheena tentatively asked, “Corey, you seem to dislike Ms. She.”
“It’s not about liking or disliking. We’re not acquainted.” Corey maintained a stoic expression and
added, “Instead of concerning yourself with these trivial matters, why not worry if Elliot will be okay.
Indeed, She’s matters were less importantpared to Elliot’s situation.
Sheena did not delve into it further and immediately entered the mansion.
Noah and Corey had already prepared carefully crafted drinks, cing three neatly arranged sses
in front of Elliot.
Sheena quickly approached, scrutinizing the liquid in the sses.
The color was transparent, resembling fine wine. However, knowing her brothers so well, Sheena was
well aware that Noah would not simply let Elliot drink three sses of in wine.
