Chapter 44
“Sure. Since you admit your wrongdoings, upload the video we recorded in the restroom to Twitter. Publicly acknowledge your crimes, offer sincere apologies to the victims, and make sure the public knows full well just how disgusting you are!”
The two men instantly turned pale.
Tony immediately shook his head. “N–No way! If this gets out, the board will expel me, and I’ll be hated by the public! The police won’t letoff either. I’ll still be doomed!”
James chimed in, “Your Majesty, please show us mercy. Apart from this, we can agree to anything else you ask!”
If their crimes were confirmed, they would also endure beatings and humiliation from fellow inmates before facing the death penalty.
Just the thought of it sent shivers down their spines!
Elijah listened quietly at the side, amused at how swift and ruthless Sheena was. Not only that, but her methods were rather creative too.

Without waiting for Sheena to speak, Elijah glanced at the two men and ordered, “Do as she says.

The two men looked up at Elijah, but before they could even start begging for mercy, he continued, “Or do you wantto take you away and experience firsthand what it’s like to be tortured by me?”
Sheena was puzzled.
The threatened men trembled all over. They had heard stories about Elijah’s ruthless ways, such as electrocution, mutilation, and so on.
Out of fear, the men finally said, “We’ll do it! We’ll post it right now!”
Under Sheena’s icy gaze, the two posted their confessions on Twitter with trembling hands.
Seeing that things were settled, Sheena rubbed her sore wrists from the fight and walked out of the private room without even sparing a glance at Elijah.
After making a phone call to Leon, Elijah followed suit.
Only James and Tony remained inside the room, huddled together in despair, wailing loudly.
In less than five minutes, the news was trending online.
Leon quickly informed the police, and the two were soon hauled away in police cars before they could read the comments online.
Sheena left in a hurry. Elijah tried to catch up but failed. He searched the restaurant and finally spotted Sheena’s figure at the entrance.
It was already dark outside, but the restaurant entrance was brightly lit.
Elijah saw Sheena looking at Howard happily, who was crouched by her feet, gently massaging
her sore legs.
As Howard massaged her legs, he looked up dotingly at her. “Your legs must be hurting from all the kicking. If you want to hit someone, letknow. There’s no need for you to lift a finger.”

Elijah froze, hurt by the scene.
After Howard massaged her calves, he removed his suit jacket and wrapped Sheena’s petite figure with it. Then, he escorted her to the car, protecting her head as she got in.
As he closed the car door, Howard glared at Elijah.
Soon after, the Rolls–Royce drove away.
Elijah stared in the direction they left, unable to describe his feelings as the scene of Howard massaging Sheena’s calves replayed in his mind.
Leon appeared from the restaurant and found Elijah, seemingly lost in thought.
“Mr. Freeman, is everything okay?”
Elijah snapped out of the trance, asking coldly, “What is it?”
“James and Tony are taken away. As for the two upstairs, how would you like to handle them?”
He pondered for a moment, and the recent scene flashed before his eyes again. Then, he said, ” Just let them go.”
“What? Just like that?”
Leon was stunned. After all, he had gone through so much trouble to restrain and detain those individuals in the room.
