Chapter 231

Exhausted from the night, Elijah was sound asleep.

Sheena stared at him and noticed the faint palm print mark on his slightly swelling left cheek and dried blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked just as miserable as she felt. Although she had drained her strength last night and could not remember what happened afterward, judging by the current situation, Elijah probably had not done anything to her.

Sheena pursed her lips and tasted a hint of sweetness.

Was it glucose?

Sheena scoffed at how Elijah was acting like a nice person when he was the one drugging her coffee. She could not help but wonder if he was staging this whole act.

Well, she would play along!

Quietly slipping out of the bathtub, Sheena left the bathroom without waking him up.

Elijah was awakened by the intense pain in his back. The position he had slept in by the bathtub had left his arm sprained. As he was busy helping Sheena lower her fever last night, he forgot to tend to his own injuries and also accidentally bumped into the sharp edge of the bed. His back was probably even more swollen now.

Elijah sighed and sat up straight, only to find the person in the bathtub was gone!

When did Sheena wake up?

Why did he not notice it?

It seemed that the modified 023 serum had significantly dulled his senses. He got up, walked to the sink, cleaned the traces of blood from the corner of his mouth in the mirror, and went downstairs to

find Sheena.

In the living room, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Sheena sat on the sofa with her hands folded across her chest, exuding a chilly aura. Ford, John, Sawyer, and Owen stood behind the sofa, their expressions dark and menacing.

When Elijah walked downstairs and saw the scene, he knew that the inevitable had arrived. He walked over with heavy steps, stopping on the opposite side of the coffee table, facing Sheena.

Sheena locked eyes with him but remained silent.

Behind her, Sawyer pointed at the two packets of coffee sugar on the table and said, “Mr. Freeman, Ms. Sheena asked you to make coffee last night. You did make the coffee, but you added something inappropriate. Isn’t that crossing the line? We found another coffee sugar packet containing M–drug in your room. How do you explain that?”

Elijah fixed his gaze on Sheena and explained, “Yes, I placed the coffee sugar packet in the tray and served it to you. I don’t deny that fact, but I had no idea that it was the M–drug.”

Sheena smirked, a mocking glint in her eyes.

These casually spoken words lacked conviction.

Elijah knew she would not believe him and still wanted to try, adding, “Last night, I said I wouldn’t deceive you anymore, and I’ve kept my word. Can you… trustthis time?”

Sheena chuckled and responded, “When Jennifer drugged you, you sneaked into my room late at night. The next day, you suspected me. Did you givea chance to explain? Would you have believedif I hadn’t thrown the evidence in your face?”

Elijah knew there was no way to turn things around, and he stayed silent, unable to find the right

words.

Sheena continued, “Last night, you promised not to deceive me, only to drugagain. You brewed the coffee and were the first to rush in after I accidentally consumed it. Can you honestly say you have nothing to do with it? If the one–year agreement is too unbearable for you, I can give you a fair chance to compete. Perhaps you can snatch the Freeman Group and Freeman mansion from me.”

Then, Sheena paused, her expression suddenly cold and stern before adding, “But you prefer to use such despicable means. Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t stand lies!”

Elijah anticipated this response, a bitter smile playing on his lips. “What do you want to do?”

“It’s very simple.”

Sheena smiled, gently raising her hand.

Sawyer immediately brought a glass of warm water from the kitchen, placing it on the coffee table.
