Chapter 227

Sheena was shocked by the form of address.

Was Elijah also drunk?

Sheena remained silent.

However, Colin felt a surge of anger after hearing Elijah interrupt his confession. Fueled by alcohol, he got up from the floor and rushed over, grabbing Elijah’s collar spitefully. His other hand clenched into a fist, ready to strike Elijah’s face.

“You hurt her a few days ago. What right do you have to linger around her?”

Elijah remained still and quiet, fearlessly meeting Colin’s gaze.

Colin, furious, was about to land his punch.

Sheena shouted, “Sawyer, Owen!”

Sawyer and Owen immediately jumped in through the open window, separating the two men.

Frustrated that he could not punch Elijah, Colin complained, “Sheena, why won’t you let me teach him a lesson?”

Sheena signaled to Sawyer and Owen, saying, “Mr. Upton is drunk. Send him home.”

“Yes, Ms. Sheena.”
