The bodyguard instantly understood his meaning. “Mr. Stanley, rest assured, I’ll make sure to deliver
the news precisely to Mr. Jenkins.”
Since the matter of calling off the engagement could not be resolved for now, Sheena shifted her focus
and headed to the Angle Group. After days of preparations, everything was nearly in place.
She had transferred the signed artists she valued from Angle Group in Farlem over, and the grand
opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony were close.
Seated at her desk, Sheena spent the entire day absorbed in her work, carefully reviewing the profiles
of each contracted artist under the company. Just as the day at the office was ending, a sudden
commotion echoed through the corridor, catching Sheena’s attention.
She put down her work, ready to investigate.
The office door was abruptly thrust open, and Lionel, with blood on his body and hands, burst in, his
eyes bloodshot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPuzzled, Sheena glanced outside to see Paul and Sawyer, both beaten and limping, looking miserable.
“How dare you beat up my people in front of me?” Sheena glared at him.
Lionel sincerely bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, Ms. Sheena. I sent a few men to find you, but they
were blocked by these two. I had no choice but to come personally, forcefully breaking through. But
don’t worry, this blood on me is not from them. They’re just lightly injured.”
Though she had instructed not to allow Elliot’s men near her, Lionel’s forceful intrusion signaled a
serious matter.
Sheena asked, “Why are you so anxious? What happened?”
Lionel, with red eyes, choked up as he spoke. “It’s Mr. Jenkins. He’s in trouble! They’re taking him to
the hospital, but he refuses to enter the emergency room. He insists on seeing you one last time. Ms.
Sheena, I beg you to go and see him!”
Elliot was skilled. How could he be in trouble?
Sheena was tense, but then skepticism crept in. “He always plays tricks to deceive me. He faked his
death before, and now he’s faking a life-threatening situation. What’s the next act in his playbook?”
“I’m not lying!” Lionel cried, tears streaming down.
If not for the potential consequences, he might have considered knocking Sheena unconscious and
carrying her to the hospital.
“We were in a showdown with the militants in the mountains. He got shot through the heart, and the
blood on me belongs to him. He just wants to see you one last time. Ms. Sheena, I’m begging you!

Please go and see him!”
Witnessing Lionel crying his heart out, Sheena felt a twinge of uncertainty.
“I’ll believe you this once! If Elliot dares to deceive me again, I’ll never forgive him!”
Without packing anything, she grabbed her bag and headed to the hospital with Lionel.

Sheena quickened her pace, and Lionel took the lead, shouting, “Clear the way! Stop arguing! Ms.
Sheena is here!”
The crowd promptly hushed, displaying remarkable discipline as they stepped aside, creating a path
for Sheena.
As she entered, she could smell the piercing stench of blood. On the stretcher lay Elliot, his handsome
face unnaturally pale, covered in bloodstains. The area around his heart, in particular, was drenched in
a deep crimson, and blood continued to flow steadily, staining the entire stretcher.
The scene was overwhelmingly gruesome, leaving Sheena in stunned silence. This time, he had not
lied.
Elliot had indeed lost a considerable amount of blood!
Sheena, in shock, covered her mouth, tears flowing uncontrollably, and every step she took was heavy.
Elliot, weakly looking at her approaching figure, managed a feeble glimmer in his bloodshot eyes. His
bloodstained hand trembled as it clutched her small wrist.
“Don’t cry… It… doesn’t hurt, but it hurts me more… when you cry…”
