Chapter 488
While Lionel stared at Elliot, the latter seemed lost in thought.
Elliot recalled the soft and pleading Sheena from last night while she was being punished,
whimpering for mercy. Her sweet demeanor had melted his heart, and he could not help but smile.
Witnessing Elliot’s odd expression, Lionel wondered why Elliot’s smile seemed… disturbing.
Was he relishing the memory?
Was Elliot some kind of masochist?
Elliot noticed Lionel’s gaze and asked, “Aren’t you happy about the raise?”

Lionel immediately beamed. “I’m overjoyed! Call me anytime for such good news! If Ms. Sheena can’t
satisfy you, I, Lionel, am willing to step in and guarantee your satisfaction!”
Elliot stared at him strangely, his expression gradually turning into a menacing one. “What nonsense
are you talking about? Sheena can’t satisfy me? Just what are you thinking?”
Lionel suddenly understood. “I get it now! It’s Ms. Sheena’s exclusive territory! It’s your little marital
play!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe flashed a very understanding smile and exited the CEO’s office, leaving Elliot bewildered.
Why did he feel like he could not comprehend Lionel’s words?
Meanwhile, on Sheena’s side, the interview in Phoebe’s ward was nearing its end.
“My relationship with Caleb ended completely when I jumped off the bridge yesterday. I don’t want to
dwell on the past, whether it’s been great or not. Once I recover, I’ll fully dedicate myself to work and
strive to bring better works to my fans and the audience.”
The flashing lights and shutter sounds echoed as she spoke.
Sheena allowed only a few influential media outlets to conduct the interview.
Having heard Phoebe’s statement, the reporters exchanged glances.
It seemed like she was not planning to delve deeper into Caleb’s infidelity.
One reporter asked, “Ms. Chamberlain, you must have been devastated when you jumped into the lake
yesterday due to Mr. Mendez’s infidelity. What gave you the strength to recover from that emotional
turmoil so quickly?”
Another reporter questioned, “Mr. Mendez apologized to you last night. From what you’re saying, are
you willing to forgive him now? Could you please reveal who the female star involved in his infidelity
is?”

Phoebe fell into a prolonged silence, offering no response.
Seeing this, Sheena signaled to her manager, Michelle.
Michelle, along with the assistant, Cordelia, skillfully stepped in to interrupt the interview.
“Alright, everyone. Phoebe’s body hasn’t fully recovered, and we’ve had enough interviews for today.
Let her rest early.”
The media outlets disbanded.
Once everyone had left, Sheena approached Phoebe on the hospital bed and asked, “Why didn’t your
take the opportunity to expose the wrongdoing of that scumbag and that despicable woman? Let the
netizens criticize them.”
Phoebe shook her head. “Because I know it wouldn’t help. I understand the principle of Pyrrhic victory

what’s the use? After a while, the storm will pass, and they’ll still thrive.”
“Moreover, the internet never forgets. If I expose their previous insults to me, it will become my dark
history, affecting my career. It’s better to downplay it for now. Let the public sympathize with me and
leave a positive impression on the internet.”
Sheena was glad to hear Phoebe’s explanation. “You’ve grown a lot through this incident.”
Phoebe smiled, looked at her, and held her hand, expressing deep gratitude. “That’s all thanks to you.
You’re more important to me than family and lovers.”
“Hey! You can’t say that! If your future husband finds out, he might get jealous, you know?”
The two chuckled.
Later in the afternoon, Phoebe insisted on being discharged. So, Sheena called the doctor for a follow-

Suddenly, Michelle rushed into the ward, looking urgent.
“Ms. Lawson, Phoebe, check your phones! Lisa is live–streaming and crying!“
