Ford and Paul found themselves immobilized by the crowd, hesitant to use force and risk injuring bystanders. Moreover, these


    were not ordinary people. They were well-known figures from the upper ss.


    Seizing the opportunity, Bethany exchanged a meaningful nce with Jennifer.


    Understanding Bethany’s signal, Jennifer quickly wriggled free from the bodyguards’ restraint while the crowd diverted their


    attention, swiftly darting away.


    The bodyguards, rmed, were about to give chase when the enraged crowd blocked their path.


    Sawyer fumed, “Are you blind? Even if you disagree with Ms. Sheena taking someone away, you shouldn''t let an escaped


    convict like her go!”


    Bethany smirked and said, “No need for you to chase after her. I’ve already informed the police. She won''t get far, and the police


    will handle her. So, there’s no need for Ms. Sheena’s watchdogs to get involved.”


    Watchdogs?


    Sawyer and the others seethed with anger. However, they held their tongues since Sheena remained silent.


    Sheena appeared grim.


    Elijah, noticing her expression, called out softly, “Sheena.”


    She red at him coldly and said, “She’s yours, so...”N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Before she could finish, Elijah interrupted her, “She’s not mine!”


    Unfazed, Sheena continued, “Regardless, you''ll handle this matter. Once it’s resolved, we''ll return to the mansion.”


    Elijah knew she was still upset. He hoped to reach out and plead with her, but he was interrupted by Lionel’s sudden arrival.


    “Mr. Freeman, I’m sorry for beingte.”


    Elijah’s face darkened swiftly. Suppressing the urge to turn around and hit Lionel, he calmly instructed, “Jennifer ran toward the


    secluded path out back. She’s injured and won''t get far. Go after her.”


    “Yes, Mr. Freeman.” Lionel sprinted off in the direction Elijah indicated.


    Elijah took a moment topose himself, intending to reach for Sheena’s wrist again, only to find her calmly evading him.,


    Sheena directed her gaze toward Ford and Paul and ordered, “Disperse the crowd and let the g continue.”


    With the main actors gone, there was little entertainment left.


    The crowd quickly dispersed, and Sheena approached Bethany. Her beautiful eyes radiated. coldness as she locked eyes with


    Bethany.


    Then, Sheena smirked and said, “Ms. Carver, considering our past resentments, | merely nned to let the Carver family suffer


    a financial setback. If you behave yourself, | might spare your life. However, if | find out that you conspired with someone to


    cause trouble, the consequences might be more than you can bear.”


    Intimidated by the warning look in Sheena’s eyes, Bethany hesitated for a moment. After a few seconds, sheposed herself


    and responded with a smile, “Ms. Sheena, don’t be rash. The oue is still uncertain!”


    Sheena chuckled. “I''ll be waiting.”


    With that, Sheena, apanied by Ford, a few bodyguards, and Skye, left the charity g without looking back.


    Left alone, Elijah attempted to catch up, but Bethany blocked his path.


    “Elijah, the g isn’t over yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Spend a little more time with me!”


    Elijah shot her an angry re. “Get lost.”


    After delivering the cold remark, he immediately headed outside the hotel. Sheena had just gotten into the car, ready to close the


    door.


    Elijah swiftly caught the door, shouting, “Sheena, wait!”


    “What''s the matter?”


    Elijah nced into the car. Ford was driving, and Paul was in the passenger seat. Meanwhile, John and Sawyer were gone, most


    likely escorting Skye back.
