Chapter 327
Sheena tried to recall the lady before her and asked uncertainly, “Are you… Gabrielle?”
Delighted that Sheena remembered her, Gabrielle eagerly approached and hooked her arm. Nana, you look so beautiful! It’s been years, have you missed me? Nate said you’re in Farlem, so I quickly came.”
Gabrielle, Nathaniel’s half–sister from the sfather, was the youngest among her siblings, three years Sheena’s junior. When they were kids, Gabrielle used to stick to Sheena. She was a childlike, yet somewhat spoiled, little princess.
Sheena playfully teased, poking Gabrielle’s nose, “Are you still clingy like how you were back then?”
Gabrielle softly clung to Sheena’s arm and swayed it back and forth. “Nana, don’t make fun of me! I’m only acting this way because I like you. I won’t even let anyone else touch me! Since I’ve ca long way this time, Nana, you have to spend stwith me.”
Spend twith her?
Sheena thought that would just add another extra burden to her already busy schedule.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNathaniel added, “Nana, I received an urgent matter from the Special Investigation Department this morning. Gabrielle secretly cto Farlem last night, but I’ll be leaving Farlem early tomorrow. Please take care of her for me.”
Sheena furrowed her brows slightly. Just as she was about to refuse, Gabrielle snuggled against her arm, acting coquettish.
“Nana, I haven’t seen your place in Farlem yet. Letstay with you for about half a month, please. I promise I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Half a month?
No way! This little troublemaker would drive her insane.
“At most three days.”
“Three days it is!” Gabrielle pouted, seemingly fine with having to find her own place after those three days.
Faint sounds of the dance floor’s commotion reached them from outside the bar.
With the temporary accommodation settled, Gabrielle warmly invited Sheena, “Nana, cwithto the dance floor outside. I’m not allowed out much at home. My parents are strict. This is my first tin a bar.”
Dance floor outside?
Sheena recalled the suited man she encountered in the corridor just now, and she could not help but feel suspicious. Then, she glanced instinctively at Nathaniel beside her.
Nathaniel was absorbed in pouring and drinking his drink, his profile delicate with well- defined features, and his deep blue eyes showed little emotion. Meanwhile, Gabrielle
continued to act cute, her expression innocent and adorable.

If she had something to hide, her eyes would definitely betray her.
Seeing Sheena’s staying silent, Gabrielle pressed on, “Con! Nana, you’re the best. Just cand play withfor a while.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheena playfully pinched her cheek. “Okay.”
Back at Ocean Avenue, Elijah was in the kitchen preparing dinner while Lionel sat in the living room, looking frustrated as he investigated lan’s information on his laptop.
Lance and a few other bodyguards were still playing cards in the backyard.
“Mr. Freeman, ctake a look,” Lionel said with a serious tone. Elijah cout of the kitchen, and Lionel turned the laptop screen to show him. “Look at this. I pulled screenshots of Ian from the Freeman Group’s surveillance today. I remember his face from the day of the Clear Crane Bridge incident when Mr. Lawson took him away. He was also one of the people sent to kill Ms. Sheena that day.”
He paused and continued, “Moreover, I couldn’t find any information on this person online. He’s likely an assassin for hire in the black market.”
Elijah examined the face on the screen, his expression growing more serious.
Sheena could not be unaware of this person’s past identity. Yet, despite knowing this, why would she keep such a dangerous individual around?
What was she up to?
As he pondered, Paul returned.
When Elijah heard the commotion in the backyard, he walked over to the window.
