Chapter 456
Sheena immediately rushed to support Elliot. Seeing him coughing up blood and realizing how severe
Corey’s blow had been, tears welled up in her eyes, filled with distress.
“Corey! He was shot yesterday and had serious surgery. How could you hit him like this?”
Corey glanced at his own hand and then at Elliot, who was in excruciating pain, sweating profusely. It
was evident that Elliot was not faking it, making Corey feel a bit guilty.
“I thought he would fight back…”
He knew Elliot was skilled and expected a counter–attack. However, much to his surprise, Elliot did not
evade the blow.
Once the pain subsided, Elliot protected Sheena in his arms and spoke with great effort, “Mr. Corey, I
am Nana’s fiance. I’ve endured this punishment for her. Is this blow enough, or do you want to break

“No! Eli…” Tears streamed down her face as she looked at him with heartache.
He managed a wry smile and gently wiped away her tears. It hurt badly, and he was struggling to hold
on.
“Nana, hug me…”
Sheena embraced him, and he curled into her arms, his back bowed against her slender shoulder.
Corey, still in shock, observed the affectionate scene. However, Sheena was crying, and he hesitated
to speak.
Barbara sighed softly, stepping forward. “That’s enough. In this day and age, engaged or not, does it
really matter whether they slept together or not? Elliot is willing to suffer for her. That’s quite rare. Don’t
stir up trouble for them.”
Corey gave a questioning look to Barbara.
Why was she not taking his side? It seemed like he became the only villain here.
He glanced back at Sheena and Elliot–one crying bitterly, the other in even worse shape. It felt like a
tragic play of the villain interfering with a couple’s happiness, and he was the antagonist.
Corey let out a long sigh. “I’ll let it slide this time. Since he’s injured, both of you better behave for a
while, got it?”
“Understood,” Sheena replied, her small face showing signs of grievance.
Corey softened his tone. “Take him home to check if the wound has reopened, but no staying over. You
must go back home. Do you understand?”
Sheena’s mood lifted, and she wiped away a few tears. “Thank you, Corey.”
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Corey turned away and left. Barbara hurriedly approached Sheena,
whispering, “Corey might sound harsh, but he’s softest when it comes to you. Don’t be mad at him,
okay?”

“I’m coming!” Barbara consoled Sheena, casting an approving glance at Elliot, and then quickly ran
back to Corey’s side.
Once their cars were completely gone, Sheena immediately checked on Elliot. “Is it very painful? Can
you still walk? Should I ask Lionel to carry you to the car?”
Lionel nodded, already feeling anxious.
Yosef had just warned against further injuries, and now Elliot had been hit again. Approaching, he got
his shoulder ready for Elliot.
Ignoring Lionel, Elliot looked mischievously at Sheena and said, “When Corey struck just now, I quietly
stepped back half an inch. I’m not seriously hurt. I played it up. Don’t worry.”
“Really? Don’t lie to me.”
“If I lie to you, I’m a puppy.”
Sheena giggled. “Then you’ll be named Elipup!”
