Chapter 278

Sheena sat alone in the back seat.

Elijah held onto the car door tightly, speaking softly as he was afraid that the slightest

increase in volume would provoke her anger.

“Sheena, I also want to go back to the mansion. Can you move inside a bit?”

Since Sheena had just gotten into the car, she was sitting on the right side, next to the road, leaving the

left side empty. Under the dim streetlights, Elijah’s black eyes gleamed as he stared at her cautiously

and somewhat expectantly.

Sheena cast a cold glance at him, giving it almost no consideration.

“No. Whoever brought you here should take you back, or you can walk home.”

Her tone was icy, lacking any warmth. Since Elijah refused to sign the termination of the employment

agreement, Sheena had not treated him well. Her demeanor tonight mirrored the night he was

punished to kneel in the rain.

Elijah looked down as if suppressing a profound sense of grievance.

“Sheena, there’s a reason why I came here with Bethany tonight. Can you please let me explain?”

Sheena looked away, refusing to look at him. She simply said, “The mansion is open for you until 11

p.m. If you don’t make it back, you’ll be sleeping in the streets. Let go.”

A tinge of red appeared at the corner of Elijah’s eyes.

What a heartless and stubborn woman!

How could her heart be as hard as stone?

Elijah felt his chest ached and reluctantly released his grip on the door. As soon as he let go, the door

slammed shut, and the car sped away, leaving Elijah there alone.

Choked, he coughed a couple of times, standing in the same spot and watching the car disappear into

the night.

“Mr. Freeman!”

Lionel approached.

Elijah resumed his usual cold demeanor, extremely displeased. “What is it?”

Lionel lowered his head and reported, “I’m sorry, Mr. Freeman. I couldn’t catch up with

Jennifer. I arrived, she had completely vanished! It was as if someone had taken her

away.

“Check the surveillance.”

Lionel lowered his head even further. “The hotel’s small bamboo grove is a blind spot for surveillance.

Moreover, the cameras covering the entrances and exits were disabled in advance. I’m sorry.”

Elijah had no intention of overly blaming him. “It’s not your fault. From Jennifer’s appearance, her

attempt to stab Sheena with a knife, to her escape, everything was

meticulously planned. I just can’t understand why the person behind this is doing it and what their

purpose is.”

As he spoke, Elijah’s phone rang. Seeing it was Bethany, he hesitated for a moment but ultimately

answered.

“Elijah, you haven’t left yet, right? The gala hasn’t ended. As your partner for the evening, you can’t just

leave me alone, can you?”

Elijah had no intention of engaging in conversation with her. Just as he was about to end the call,

Bethany spoke again, “Aren’t you curious about where Jennifer is?”

“Do you

know where she is?” Elijah questioned.

Bethany grinned mischievously. “Not only do I know, but I can take you there! I’m sure you have many

questions about Jennifer’s situation. Why not go and unravel these mysteries yourself?”

Elijah remained quiet. After a while, he responded, “What do

you want?”

“I hope you’ll accompany me through the entire gala. It’s just the last five minutes. You wouldn’t deny

this small request of mine, would you?” Bethany chuckled softly, continuing, Once the gala ends, I’ll

immediately take you to see Jennifer. How about that?”

Elijah did not respond immediately. He glanced at his watch. There was still over half an hour. until 11

p.m.

“Fine, where are you?”
