Chapter 327
Sheena tried to recall the lady before her and asked uncertainly, “Are you… Gabrielle?”
Delighted that Sheena remembered her, Gabrielle eagerly approached and hooked her arm. Nana, you
look so beautiful! It’s been years, have you missed me? Nate said you’re in Farlem, so I quickly came.”
Gabrielle, Nathaniel’s half–sister from the same father, was the youngest among her siblings, three
years Sheena’s junior. When they were kids, Gabrielle used to stick to Sheena. She was a childlike, yet
somewhat spoiled, little princess.
Sheena playfully teased, poking Gabrielle’s nose, “Are you still clingy like how you were back then?”
Gabrielle softly clung to Sheena’s arm and swayed it back and forth. “Nana, don’t make fun of me! I’m
only acting this way because I like you. I won’t even let anyone else touch me! Since I’ve come a long
way this time, Nana, you have to spend some time with me.”
Spend time with her?
Sheena thought that would just add another extra burden to her already busy schedule.
Nathaniel added, “Nana, I received an urgent matter from the Special Investigation Department this

take care of her for me.”
Sheena furrowed her brows slightly. Just as she was about to refuse, Gabrielle snuggled against her
arm, acting coquettish.
“Nana, I haven’t seen your place in Farlem yet. Let me stay with you for about half a month, please. I
promise I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Half a month?
No way! This little troublemaker would drive her insane.
“At most three days.”
“Three days it is!” Gabrielle pouted, seemingly fine with having to find her own place after those three
days.
Faint sounds of the dance floor’s commotion reached them from outside the bar.
With the temporary accommodation settled, Gabrielle warmly invited Sheena, “Nana, come with me to
the dance floor outside. I’m not allowed out much at home. My parents are strict. This is my first time in
a bar.”
Dance floor outside?
Sheena recalled the suited man she encountered in the corridor just now, and she could not help but
feel suspicious. Then, she glanced instinctively at Nathaniel beside her.
Nathaniel was absorbed in pouring and drinking his drink, his profile delicate with well- defined
features, and his deep blue eyes showed little emotion. Meanwhile, Gabrielle
continued to act cute, her expression innocent and adorable.

If she had something to hide, her eyes would definitely betray her.
Seeing Sheena’s staying silent, Gabrielle pressed on, “Come on! Nana, you’re the best. Just come and
play with me for a while.”
Sheena playfully pinched her cheek. “Okay.”

looking frustrated as he investigated lan’s information on his laptop.
Lance and a few other bodyguards were still playing cards in the backyard.
“Mr. Freeman, come take a look,” Lionel said with a serious tone. Elijah came out of the kitchen, and
Lionel turned the laptop screen to show him. “Look at this. I pulled screenshots of Ian from the
Freeman Group’s surveillance today. I remember his face from the day of the Clear Crane Bridge
incident when Mr. Lawson took him away. He was also one of the people sent to kill Ms. Sheena that
day.”
He paused and continued, “Moreover, I couldn’t find any information on this person online. He’s likely
an assassin for hire in the black market.”
Elijah examined the face on the screen, his expression growing more serious.
Sheena could not be unaware of this person’s past identity. Yet, despite knowing this, why would she
keep such a dangerous individual around?
What was she up to?
As he pondered, Paul returned.
When Elijah heard the commotion in the backyard, he walked over to the window.
