Chapter 259
Jennifer has gone missing? Sheena frowned and asked, “How could she just disappear from prison?”
John shook his head. “She vanished during the half–hour recreational tafter dinner yesterday as if she vanished into thin air. No traces left.”
“No traces?” Sheena chuckled. “A person can’t just vanish into thin air. How is it possible not to find any leads? We need a thorough investigation! Check everyone who recently visited her, how long they stayed, and leave no detail unexamined!”
“Yes, Ms. Lawson!”
“Wait.” As John was about to leave, Sheena stopped him, her expression grave as she added, “Also, check all recent visitation records for Lionel.”
“Are you suspecting…” John did not finish his sentence.
Sheena’s gaze grew colder. Hopefully, she was just overthinking.
That afternoon, heavy rain poured down. As the day neared sunset, the rain intensified rather than subsided, splattering on the window. The weather was dreadfully gloomy as if silently conveying something.
Sheena stood by the full–length window, watching the rain with an unreadable expression.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn spent the entire day investigating and returned to report to Sheena in the late evening.
“Ms. Lawson, I’ve thoroughly checked all records. In the past half month, only one person visited both Jennifer and Leon.”
Sheena’s face darkened. “Who?”
“Lionel O’Connor.” John handed her the documents respectfully. “Moreover, not long ago, Leon also disappeared from the prison for an hour. He later claimed to have mistakenly entered the freezer and was locked inside when the staff left, but…”
“But what?”
“But when he was found, he was covered in blood, with injuries resembling those from whips or lashes. Both Leon and Lionel seem to be Mr. Freeman’s subordinates.”
Sheena questioned, “Why are you only reporting this now?”
“Because at that time, we thought it was really just an accidental locking in the freezer due to a feud with one of the gang leaders in the prison. Since Leon wasn’t missing, everyone thought there was no major problem.”
The presence of a weapon capable of causing harm, like a whip, in the prison was suspicious. Clearly, someone orchestrated this, having Leon taken out and brought back.

2/2
Sheena suddenly recalled Elijah’s unusual behavior yesterday afternoon when she returned to him.
Was he intentionally delaying her to keep her from discovering Jennifer’s disappearance?
She checked the investigation report and found that Jennifer mysteriously vanished during that time.
Could it be just a coincidence?
When she returned to Elijah, he seemed overjoyed.
Was he celebrating Jennifer’s successful escape from prison?
Sheena scoffed. She thought Elijah had genuinely repented in recent times. Unfortunately, it was all a ploy to divert her attention and facilitate Jennifer’s escape.
Were those words about facing the consequences just nonsense?
Was he exempting Jennifer from any wrongdoing?
Unbelievable!
The more Sheena thought about it, the angrier she became, and she furiously overturned a stack of files on the table.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a loud crash, the room was a mess.
“Ms. Lawson…”
John, witnessing her furious outburst for the first time, took two steps back in fear.
Sheen ordered, “We’re going back to the mansion!”
John took on the driver’s role willingly to prevent her from speeding due to her
anger.
The rain poured heavily on the car window, creating a loud and annoying noise.
The rain did not extinguish the anger in Sheena’s heart; instead, it burned even more intensely. Arriving at the mansion, John was about to take an umbrella and help her open the car door when he saw her
leaving the car and walking directly into the garden in the rain.
John was frightened and hurriedly caught up, shouting, “Ms. Lawson! Use an umbrella! Don’t catch a cold!”
In the mansion, Elijah was cooking in the kitchen. He was taken by surprise when he heard John’s
shout.
Checking the time, he realized that Sheena was twenty minutes earlier today. He was delighted, cleaned his hands after chopping vegetables, and cout to greet her.
