Chapter 771


    “Recement?” Elliotughed, sneering as he cast a sharp and mocking gaze at She, “Are you


    suggesting you should be the recement? But, do you even measure up?”


    Lionel chimed in with sarcasm, “Seriously, who do you think you are, Ms. She?”


    She’s facepletely froze.


    “Mr. Jenkins, I hope that when Sheena’s status as an illegitimate daughter bes public, you can still


    choose to marry her despite the plummeting stock market of the Jenkins Group.”


    She chuckled arrogantly as she turned and walked away.


    Watching her get into her car and leave, Lionel scoffed, muttering through gritted teeth, “She acts as if


    she’s not an illegitimate daughter herself! I’m so angry! What’s so special about her? Who the hell gave


    her the audacity? Jacintha is only neen too, but her little schemes are adorable. Yet, She’s


    cunning is purely disgusting!”


    Lionel continued to vent his frustration, finding it hard to calm down.


    Ignoring Lionel’s rant, Elliot calmly instructed, “Handle the DNA test between Nana and Austin. Make


    sure everything is taken care of.”


    “Yes. You can trust me on this!” Lionel responded, immediately heading into the visitation room.


    After giving the instructions, Elliot carefully carried Sheena to the car’s back seat.


    Even though Lionel had gone off to handle things, Elliot, being considerate, had a driver this time.


    During the journey, he embraced Sheena while working on hisptop, seemingly dealing with business


    matters.


    However, the moment Sheena sat in the car, she opened her eyes. She leaned silently against Elliot,


    gazing coldly out the window, lost in thought.


    At this critical moment, she could not possibly fall asleep. Yet, she could not be bothered to deal with


    She’s taunts, so she left it to Elliot to handle.


    Upon arriving at the Jenkins estate garage, Elliot prepared to lift Sheena out of the car, only to discover


    that she had been awake the entire time.


    He gently used his fingers to tap her nose, asking, “How long have you been awake? Was the position


    ufortable because I was working?”


    Sheena smiled. “It’s fine. I just woke up.”


    Elliot did not say anything and just calmly carried her out of the car, holding her tightly as they headed


    back to E&S Haven.


    As they passed through the winding alleys of the Jenkins estate, Sheena’s gaze remained fixed on his


    face.

    After hesitating for a while, she finally asked, “Eli, if… if I’m truly not the Lawson family heiress, our


    engagement won’t stand. You’re the mighty head of the Jenkins Group… If the matter of you marrying


    a convict’s daughter bes public knowledge, a seemingly insignificant illegitimate child, the Jenkins


    Group could suffer significant losses. You might lose billions overnight. Even in that case, would you


    still be willing to marry me?”


    Elliot listened silently, looking ahead, walking seriously without ncing down at her or giving an


    immediate answer to her question.


    “Nana, let’s get back first. I have a gift for you.”


    Not getting an answer, Sheena’s heart sank.


    Without the identity of the Lawson family heiress, and if she indeed turned into a convict’s illegitimate


    daughter, the immense disparity in status would surely make even Elliot hesitate.

    She should understand.


    However, she could not help but feel so disappointed and let down.


    In a single day, she found herself betrayed by everyone, left alone.


    Even Elliot was not the unwavering man she could rely on in the face of a major dilemma. She could


    only trust herself and fight her own battles for redemption.
