Elijah clenched his chest, feeling an uncomfortable tightness. Lionel’s words hit him hard.
“You’ve been getting more and more out of control lately, acting without my orders. Moreover, it seems
like you think quite highly of Nathaniel?”
Elijah emanated an intense hostility. He coldly pushed Lionel away and weakly continued walking
ahead.
Realizing he had made a mistake, Lionel paled, regretfully patting his mouth. He blamed himself for
never being in love and not knowing how to comfort people. He hurriedly caught up with Elijah,
continuing to support him and explain.
“Mr. Freeman, you’ve got it all wrong! I came with John because I was genuinely concerned. about you.
And about Mr. Nicholls… No! Nathaniel! How could I possibly favor him? I believe
you, Mr. Freeman.”

Then, he whispered to Elijah, “Despite Ms. Sheena always teasing you, it’s just tough love. She treats

At least that was a somewhat comforting statement, and Elijah felt a bit better.
Lionel chuckled. However, he noticed the deep red marks on Elijah’s left cheek and could not help but
mutter, “But Ms. Sheena sure went hard this time.”
Elijah rubbed his face, still feeling a lingering pain. The thought of Sheena and Nathaniel having a meal
together bothered him, and his mood soured quickly.
“Assign two people to follow them and find out what they talk about.”
Lionel’s expression turned horrified. “Mr. Freeman, have mercy on us! Nathaniel is the head of the
Special Investigation Department, and his team is top–notch in anti–surveillance and
counterintelligence. If they catch wind of it, Ms. Sheena will know. It’s a risky move, and she might
misunderstand you again. Can’t we just return to the mansion and wait for her?”
Elijah remained expressionless.
Lionel sighed at how stubborn Elijah was, becoming a fool in matters of the heart.
After some consideration, Elijah reluctantly compromised and asked, “Do any of the guys. have rich
romantic experiences?”
Lionel thought hard and replied, “It seems only Lance is in a relationship, but he’s not in Farlem; he’s in
Svelton.”
“Lance?”
Elijah was surprised and asked, “He’s the youngest among all, and he’s already been in a
relationship?”
Lionel chuckled. “Mr. Freeman, this might shock you, but Lance has high emotional intelligence and a
head full of ideas despite his young age. I heard he has his wife wrapped around his finger.”
Elijah fell silent, and he was deep in thought. Soon, he said, “When his tasks on that side are done,
have him come to Farlem to meet me alone.”

out Sheena’s chair and took the initiative to order dishes for her.
Sheena’s expression remained calm as she elegantly took a sip of water.
Nathaniel stared at her intently, blue eyes shimmering with specks of light. “I remember you like a quiet
dining environment and your taste. Please let me know if anything is lacking.”
Sheena nodded. “Everything’s great.”
He softened his voice, continuing, “Nana, it’s been seven years since I joined the Special Investigation
Department after being arranged by my family. I haven’t seen you in all this time. When Howard
informed me that you were at the police station, I rushed over immediately. Seeing you now feels great.
I…”
Nathaniel wanted to say he really missed her, but he stopped mid–sentence.
Sheena met his gaze, and a dusty memory was stirred.
She smiled. “Yes, seven years. Mr. Nicholls, you have risen to the n of director of the
Special Investigation Department. That’s really impressive. Congratulations.”
Nathaniel’s face paled.
Mr. Nicholls again, and not Nate. “Nana, have we become strangers?”
