Hearing Sheena’s voice, the girl turned to look at her, and her exquisitely beautiful face lit up with a warm smile.
“Ms. Lawson, long tno see. How are you and Mr. Jenkins on this New Year’s Eve?”

Hearing Corey’s questioning tone, Sheena turned, looking puzzled.
“Do you two know each other?”
Sheila remained silent, and Corey showed no extra expressions.
“No, we’re not. I just saw her a few times on TV. Nana, it’s cold outside. CInside with me.”
Corey had cout wearing a small fox fur cape, and he promptly draped it over Sheena, holding her

On the way back to the mansion, Sheena had been observing Corey’s expression. She noticed that his face turned grim ever since he saw Sheila, yet it was difficult to discern what he was thinking.
Sheena tentatively asked, “Corey, you seem to dislike Ms. Sheila.”
“It’s not about liking or disliking. We’re not acquainted.” Corey maintained a stoic expression and added, “Instead of concerning yourself with these trivial matters, why not worry if Elliot will be okay.

Indeed, Sheila’s matters were less important compared to Elliot’s situation.
Sheena did not delve into it further and immediately entered the mansion.
