Chapter 216

The thought of that scene made Elijah feel uncomfortable all over like something was off. He could not help but wonder why he was feeling that way. He used to think he had feelings for Jennifer but later realized it was only a sense of responsibility, treating her just like his sister. Sheena, however, was different. She always managed to evoke various emotions in him- anger, surprise, pity, and guilt.

Did she hold a special place in his heart?

Though his feelings were tangled, Elijah had not been idle these past few days. He pretended to go out to let the undercover bodyguards come forward to block him. He found the hiding spots of the two bodyguards at the mansion and learned their routines, and if Sheena did not return tonight, it would be a good opportunity to meet Lionel.

As he sat on the sofa, lost in thought, the door connecting the living room to the garden suddenly swung open.

Thinking it was Sheena returning, Elijah stood up to greet her. However, instead of Sheena, Ford entered. Behind Ford were three equally imposing men, their gazes fixed on Elijah with hostility.
