I Became His Sweetheart

Jennifer was stunned.

Why did Ell look at her like that? Did he find out something?

Back at her table, Sheena noticed Skye was about to look for her and was relieved that she finally came out. “Sheena, what took you so long?”

“What's the matter? Did something happen?” Sheena asked, noticing the concern in his expression.

“Howard sent someone to find you. He said there’s progress on the investigation you asked him to look into. He wants you to go back when you have time.”

“Alright, I'll go now.” “Hey! At least finish your meal before leaving!” Skye complained playfully, but Sheena had already driven off. After finishing their meal, Elijah escorted Jennifer back to her hotel room.

As she looked at the cold and empty room, Jennifer hesitated and held Elijah’s hand, pouting, Eli, since we're engaged, can’t I stay with you at the mansion?”

Elijah frowned. He had told her before that the mansion was not an option, so why did she bring it up again? Though displeased, he still tried to comfort her, “Just wait a little longer. I’ll arrange a suitable place for you as soon as possible.”

Jennifer keenly sensed his displeasure, which made her feel even more aggrieved.

Why was Sheena allowed to live in the mansion for three years while she could not even enter? However, she dared not ask that question, knowing Elijah did not like jealous and whiny girls. “Why don’t you stay here with me at the hotel? Just for one night.”

Her voice became sweet and pitiful, giving her an endearing demeanor that could melt anyone’s heart. Yet, Elijah did not even spare her a glance, still appearing indifferent.

“| have work to attend to. Rest early.”

With that, he let go of her hand and left.

As the door shut behind him, Jennifer slumped onto the carpet and her eyes welled up

tears.

Why did everything change after she returned to the country?

Elijah no longer treated her with the indulgence and care he once did.

Did he really find out?

Panic spread across Jennifer’s face.

As she was lost in her thoughts, the door opened again, and a man’s black shoes appeared.

“Ell! | knew you...” Jennifer exclaimed, filled with joy. However, her delight turned to disappointment as she looked up and realized it was not Elijah, but Leon instead.

His face showed concern as he spoke, “Ms. Moore, I’m sorry to bother you, but | need to clarify something urgently.” “Go ahead.”

Seeing her trying to put on a brave smile, Leon felt even more sympathetic and asked gently,” Last night, Ms. Sheena was attacked by a group of thugs while driving home. It was very dangerous. Do you know anything about it?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What? Is Sheena okay?”

“She's fine. Mr. Freeman happened to be there and dealt with the thugs. However, he asked me to find the mastermind behind the attack.” He observed Jennifer's reaction as he spoke.

Jennifer seemed relieved. “That’s good to hear.”

However, she quickly grasped Leon’s implication and looked at him in disbelief. “Are you asking if | sent someone to harm Sheena?”
