Vanessa was about to question Jennifer when Kennedy and Elijah walked over.

Seeing the reassuring figure, Jennifer rushed toward him in tears. “Eli…”

Elijah glanced at her without saying anything. No one could read his expression under the dim lighting.

Kennedy noticed Jennifer’s disheveled appearance and asked, “What happened?”

The gathered guests joined in explaining. Although their words were somewhat biased toward Jennifer,

they refrained from saying anything too harsh, given Skye’s reputation and Sheena’s stunning

performance.

After getting a rough idea, Kennedy understood the situation. He smiled and reassured the guests to

continue enjoying the night. After briefly comforting Jennifer, he then returned to the hall with the other

guests.

Jennifer sobbed as she reached for Elijah’s hand, gently leaning on him and looking pitiful.” Eli, please

don’t blame Sheena. She’s probably upset about our engagement.”

Elijah looked at Jennifer and asked coldly, “What did you say to her?”

Caught off guard by his question, Jennifer noticed that he was displeased, so she quickly explained,

“We’re about to get engaged. I just wanted her to give us her blessing. I didn’t expect her to be angry

and splash me with wine.”

“Oh, really?” Elijah frowned, and his expression turned darker.

Jennifer clung to a glimmer of hope and nodded, tightening her grip on his arm.

Elijah withdrew his arm almost instantly and said, “Jenny, I’m finding it harder and harder to understand

you.”

Jennifer was taken aback.

That was the first time he had sounded so indifferent.

Could he have seen through her?

Jennifer realized it was pointless to keep up the act. If Elijah had indeed caught onto something, hiding

the truth would only make him hate her more.

“Eli, Sheena made fun of me with an embarrassing photo of me from the incident. I got angry and

thought of throwing the wine at her. I haven’t changed, Eli. I’m still the same person.”

Elijah remained silent, letting Jennifer continue her rambling.

However, that only made Jennifer grow even more anxious, and she cried harder, “Eli, please say

something. You promised you’d marry me for what I’ve done for you. Please believe me. I didn’t mean

to do this.”

Elijah frowned when Jennifer mentioned the past, growing even more disdainful toward her.

Since returning to the country, she frequently used the incident from years ago as emotional

leverage against him. It was as if Jennifer was no longer the innocent girl she once was, and Elijah

could not help but wonder if those three years abroad had truly changed her.

Vanessa, being a woman herself, listened to Jennifer and felt disgusted, rolling her eyes before turning

to leave.

However, Elijah stopped her. “Madam Moore, Jenny’s not in the best state tonight. Please take her

back and let her rest.”

Vanessa could not refuse and smiled lovingly, gently guiding Jennifer away. Only after Elijah had left

did Vanessa’s smile fade, and she discreetly pinched Jennifer’s arm as she muttered, Just as expected

of the daughter of a mistress. You sure know how to put on a show! He’s long gone, so you can drop

the act. I’m getting a headache just from watching.”

Jennifer glared at her.

“Did you really think I’m afraid of you?” Vanessa retorted, releasing Jennifer’s arm and heading back to

the hall.

Exiting the Moore mansion, Sheena and Skye went their separate ways.

After returning to Howard’s mansion, Sheena took a shower, then applied a rejuvenating face mask,

and snacked on fresh fruits, feeling content.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Sheena did not hesitate to answer when she saw the caller ID.

“Thank you for tonight. If it weren’t for you, I might have embarrassed myself.”
