ens was overwhelmed with doubts. As the uneasiness crept into her, she quickened her pace.
The hall was bustling with people, and the woman in the white dress disappeared behind a tall

Sheena stopped and scanned the area but could not spot the familiar figure in the white dress
again
As the host, Denzel was busy with guests and noticed Sheena’s unusual worry.
He quickly approached her after excusing himself from the conversation with the CEOS.
“Ms. Lawson, what’s wrong? Are you facing any issues?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFurrowing her brows, Sheena tried to recall the sight of the familiar figure she had just seen.
“I think I saw someone I know, a woman in a white dress. She was slender and graceful. Do you
know her?”
Denzel was taken aback by the question.
“Ms. Lawson, you’re puttingin a difficult spot. Most of the CEOs attending tonight have brought female companions, with many of them wearing white dresses. They’re all elegant and beautiful. How could I possibly recognize the person you’re referring to? However, more than half of the attendees are from abroad tonight, and their companions are foreigners too. If you want to find her, it shouldn’t be too
difficult. I can have the servers keep an eye out for all the women in white dresses and provide you with a list of names after the banquet.”
Sheena was satisfied with his thoughtful arrangement. Thank you, Mr. Tate.”
“No problem, it’s my pleasure.”
This incident left Sheena feeling unsettled, and she reluctantly continued attending the gala with waning enthusiasm.
Elliot noticed her troubled state but refrained from saying anything in front of Neil.
Instead, he discreetly held her hand, giving her a sense of security.
The grand business gala finally concluded at 11 p.m.
Sheena managed to obtain Denzel’s list of women in white dresses.
On their way back to E&S Haven, she focused on the list and made a call to Ford.
Til provide you with a list when I get home. Use the names and identities listed there to search on-
the dark web or any information network. You must find pictures of each person.”
Sure, Miss You can count on me
After receiving Ford’s affirmation, Sheena ended the call. However, she could not shake off her thoughts or her gaze from the list in her hands.
Elliot observed her for a while, driving with one hand while reaching out to hold her hand with the
other.

As she pondered over the matter, she replied, “It seems like trouble never ends, Honey I suspect Sheila might not be dead after all, I saw a woman at the event who resembled her.”
Elliot’s expression turned serious as he helped her analyze the situation.
“Honey, could you have been mistaken? There are countless people with similar silhouettes in this world. Without seeing their face, it’s too soon to draw conclusions. Besides, all the attendees had significant status. You announced Sheila’s death after she escaped from the countryside, and she
wouldn’t dare to appear using that identity even if she were alive. Previously, she was quietly supported by Dad and Co-.”
Elliot’s face paled, and he quickly corrected himself, “And Corey. Now that Dad has passed away
and Corey has relinquished much of his power in Froania, she’s lost the two main support pillars.
Who else could she find to accompany her to such a significant event?”
Sheena fell silent.
She did not have the answer to that.
Sheila’s social circle had been relatively clear before.
While she had won many awards for her acting skills despite her young age, she was known for being aloof in the entertainment industry. Hence, she had very few close friends.
Back then, Albert and Corey supported her. Now that she was no longer the daughter of the Lawson family, who else could she associate with?
