Sheena was satisfied with his consistently obedient demeanor. She grabbed his chin, observing his
complexion. Without the modified 023, his face had lost the sickly paleness, and his dark eyes had
gained more vibrancy. Even though he was still as handsome, his features now appeared sharper,
making him look less easily intimidated.
Sheena smirked. “I still prefer how you looked on the modified 023 as you looked more in need of
discipline but not easy to mess with. How about… injecting another dose of the modified 023? I can
continue bullying you for a few more days, and once I get bored, I’ll reverse it.”
Elijah was surprised by her comment,
Was she serious?
The injection of the modified 023 was extremely painful. Coupled with the existing injury on his back, it
intensified the suffering several times over.
The pain was nearly unbearable.

and you believe I’m sincere now, I’ll unquestionably comply.”
“Really?” Sheena raised his chin a bit more, forcing eye contact.
Elijah gazed into her sparkling eyes, nodding.
Seeing his earnestness, Sheena chuckled, releasing her grip on his chin.
“Just kidding. I’m not that sadistic and twisted.”
Elijah lowered his gaze, remaining silent.
As the joke passed, Sheena adopted a serious expression and delved into business. “Your
subordinates seem quite capable, especially Lionel. How would their chances be if they were to face off
against similarly trained military elites?”
“If it’s a direct confrontation, hard to say, but with Lionel and the others‘ skills, engaging in a fight would
only take a bit more time. The odds of losing aren’t big.”
“Oh,” Sheena replied simply and entered into contemplation.
“Why the sudden interest in this?” Elijah asked.
Sheena evaded the question, saying, “Nathaniel will be coming to the mansion for dinner tonight.”
Elijah remained silent and frowned.
Observing his reaction, Sheena leaned closer to his car and whispered a few words.

In the evening, when it was approximately the time Nathaniel had agreed upon for his arrival, Sheena
stood at the entrance of Ocean Avenue, waiting.
Nathaniel arrived in a military vehicle, accompanied by only two of his closest subordinates. As he
stepped out of the car, he immediately spotted Sheena, and he could not hide his genuine delight.
“Nana, you look stunning tonight. Even though we met in the daytime just a few hours ago, it feels like
it’s been half a month, and I’ve missed you dearly,” Nathaniel remarked.

“Nate, why are you using those cheesy lines?” Sheena playfully scolded him with a glance and
continued, “How was your day? What about the Carver family matters?”
“The Carver Group has declared bankruptcy and is up for auction. As for the money the Carver family
extorted from the Freeman Group, I’ll make sure they pay it all back, but it’s a substantial amount,
which will take some time. Meanwhile, Bethany’s sentenced to life imprisonment. I know you probably
prefer seeing her tortured rather than dead,” Nathaniel explained.
Sheena simply smiled without commenting.
The two walked through the garden side by side.
As they entered the mansion’s living room, Nathaniel leaned in intimately, whispering into her ear,
Gabrielle wanted to join us tonight, but I didn’t bring her along. I didn’t want her to disturb our private
time…”
His words trailed off because he noticed Elijah standing on the staircase, glaring at him. Nathaniel’s
expression also turned sour, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
