Chapter 105
Elijah remained silent as his gaze sternly fixed upon her.
“Eli, let me explain…” Jennifer stammered, feeling uneasy. “Don’t jump to conclusions. It was just a
casual chat.”
Beads of sweat formed on Jennifer’s forehead. She felt anxious as she was unsure how much of her
conversation with Katie he had overheard. She decided to play innocent and act clueless.
“What are you planning?” Elijah’s voice was cold and unyielding, disregarding her explanation.
Hearing his tone, Jennifer’s right hand clutched the bed sheet tightly, wondering if Elijah had heard
everything.
“Nothing. I was just chatting casually with a friend. Don’t you believe me?” She desperately avoided his
scrutinizing gaze, feigning innocence.
Elijah ignored her pitiful expression, cutting through her facade with his gaze that was as sharp as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtblades. “You should know that even if you don’t confess, I can still have someone investigate. But by
then, I won’t give you any more chances.”
Elijah foyed with his wristwatch, his expression unreadable, leaving Jennifer even more
anxious.
Jennifer bit her lip when she realized she could not escape his interrogation in this scheme. Soon, tears
welled up in her eyes, and she started to sob.
“Eli! I’m just so frustrated! You and Sheena are divorced, yet you’re still so concerned about her! I
barely even visited Ocean Avenue, let alone lived there! But you transferred it to her. She not only
humiliated me at the banquet, but she even had someone beat me up. I was almost violated!”
Jennifer continued, “Eli! I hate her. I truly do! I just wanted to teach her a little lesson. What’s wrong
with that?”
Then, she threw herself into Elijah’s arms, attempting to play the victim. However, he pushed her away
gently with a frown.
“I’ll ask you one more time. Where is Sheena?” Elijah spoke with determination.
“Eli, we’ve known each other for so long. Am I worth less than a woman who has no connection with
you anymore?”
Jennifer sobbed, her voice choked with tears. “I’m your fiancee! Why are you so heartless? She’s the
reason I’m suffering in the hospital now. Can you bear to see me go through this?”
Elijah’s face remained cold as he stood up, a subtle trace of fatigue flickering in his dark eyes.
The hallway was unusually quiet, with occasional nurses passing by, treading softly and hurrying along
Elijah reached an empty corner and made a call.
“Jonah, find Sheena’s location and send it to me within ten minutes. Be quick.”
Sheena drove out of the city, taking a shortcut to Gravel Hill, She chose a route without surveillance or
traffic lights, accelerating at the maximum speed,
The wind whistled past her open car window, providing an exhilarating rush. Unfortunately, it was not a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmleisure trip as she had urgent matters to attend to and could not appreciate the beauty of the
countryside.
Then, she pressed the gas pedal harder, and the engine roared as she sped ahead.
Suddenly her phone rang, and she glanced at the screen before answering with her Bluetooth headset.
“Ms. Sheena, I assume you’re almost here. Just a reminder to take a right turn after exiting the tunnel.
You’ll find a run–down cabin halfway up Gravel Hill,” the kidnapper deliberately lowered their voice.
Sheena checked her navigation, made the indicated right turn, and found a car with a fake license plate
parked at the foot of the hill. She compared it to the image she had received from Dark Bell and
confirmed it was the vehicle that the kidnappers used to take Phoebe.
Sheena hid her car behind the bushes and hiked the hillside alone. The small cabin was hidden deep
within the forest, appearing rundown from a distance, looking more like a shack than anything else.
