Chapter 54
“So, you’re the illegitimate daughter of the Moore family, Jennifer Moore. You’re quite pretty, but your
demeanor does seem a bit distant from that of a proper heiress.”
Jennifer frowned. She was annoyed and believed that Katie was trying to assert dominance by
immediately highlighting their status difference. Nonetheless, she still smiled and said, “Ms. Upton, if
you brought me here just to humiliate me, then I’ll be taking my leave.”
Jennifer truly wanted to leave, but Katie held onto her hand.
“Calm down. Let’s get to the point. You don’t like your fiance’s ex–wife, right?”
Jennifer was surprised when Sheena was mentioned. “What are you trying to say?”
“Well, I don’t like that bitch either, and I can help you get rid of her.”
Jennifer hesitated.
After all, the Upton family was really influential, and she was indeed intrigued. However, Katie’s
demeanor was too overbearing, and she did not appreciate that.
If she could not get substantial help from Katie, she would just be manipulated by her.
After careful consideration, Jennifer sighed. “I’m sorry, Ms. Upton. I’m just an insignificant illegitimate
daughter of the Moore family, powerless and without influence. She has almost defeated me a few

She rolled her eyes at Katie, ready to leave.
“So what if you’re an illegitimate daughter? As long as you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can help
you secure your rightful position and make you the sole heir of the Moore family.”
Jennifer’s eyes lit up.
“Deal.”

After work, Sheena casually drove her Santana to Ocean Avenue. She numbly looked at the
unchanged scenery outside the gates, sensing a faint ache deep in her heart.
The security personnel knew she was coming and did not stop her.
She walked straight through the garden and pushed open the door.
There was no lawyer, only Elijah in a tailored black suit, sitting elegantly with his legs crossed on the
couch sipping black coffee.
Sheena was not surprised to see him at the mansion.
Even so, Sheena confidently strode forward. However, as she got closer, she realized Elijah was not
looking too good, especially with the faint dark circles under his eyes.
She could not help but chuckle. Although Elijah still appeared handsome, that was the first time she
had seen him in such a state.

“Mr. Freeman, it looks like your nights are rather busy these days.”
Elijah became gloomier, and he raised his gaze to meet hers. “Ms. Sheena, you’re getting ruder by the
day.”
Sheena crossed her arms, a cold glint flashed in her eyes as she replied, “Well, being nice depends on
the company, doesn’t it? You aren’t worthy of my kindness.”
Elijah frowned and got up directly, walking over to Sheena.
Sheena was prepared and struck out at Elijah, but he dodged it in time.
Then, he reached out, aiming to grab her shoulder, but Sheena took a step back.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she aimed a fierce kick between his legs.
Elijah sensed the danger and stepped back, precisely catching her slender ankle.

discreetly peeked in, and he saw the two–of them fighting.
What was going on?
Sheena was there to sign the document. If she did not like the place, she could simply refuse.
Why were they fighting?
He looked bewildered as he watched Sheena’s fierce gaze, noticing that almost every one of her
strikes targeted critical areas on Elijah’s body, and Elijah was only defending but not attacking.
The situation was dire!
Leon was shocked.
What a fierce woman!
He was genuinely worried that he would witness a scene of Elijah covered in blood the next
moment.
Even so, Leon restrained the urge to intervene and tried to block out the noise by covering his ears,
keeping his distance.
