Chapter 357
As soon as Melania saw Nathaniel leading people in, she instantly slumped into a chair. She had heard from acquaintances at the police station that Nathaniel was leaving Farlem.
So why was he still here?
With this man around, today’s situation was looking grim.
The Carver family’s bodyguards quickly shrank when the police, armed with batons, rushed in.
Bethany sat on the floor, feeling completely hopeless.
However, when Nathaniel entered, his gaze remained fixed on Sheena. He walked over and sat next to her with perfect posture.

Melania.
“Bethany, I don’t want to waste any more words. Whatever crimes you and the Carver family have committed will be dealt with by the police. You owe money, and I want you to pay every penny back, with interest. If the funds are insufficient, sell properties and even mortgage the Carver Group,‘ Nathaniel stated matter–of–factly, putting pressure on the Carver family due to his influence.
Bethany and Melanie were reluctant, but under Nathaniel’s pressure, they all remained silent like
mute spectators.
Sheena smoothed her dress and glanced at Nathaniel beside her. She softly said, “Nate, I’m a bit tired, so I’ll leave you to handle things here. By the way, Bethany likes tearing paper. Should we let her shred
all the papers in the hall and take them back to the police station?”
Nathaniel looked at her affectionately, saying, “I’ll follow your lead, but…”
He paused, gently taking Sheena’s hand before continuing, “I’ve done you such a big favor, but you stoodup last night. How about compensatingtoday?”
Sheena smiled, her voice sultry as she responded, “Of course! Nate, cto Ocean Avenue tonight after you finish your task. I’ll personally cook for you to make it up to you. How does that sound?”
Nathaniel was pleasantly surprised. However, he remembered the annoying man in her mansion and added, “But there’s someone I don’t want to see at your place.”
Sheena shrugged indifferently. “That’s no problem. He’s just my servant. We’ll have a few drinks tonight, and I’ll have him stand by and pour you drinks. What do you say?”
Nathaniel, observing her calm demeanor with a hint of indulgence in his eyes, smiled and replied, ‘ Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
“I’ll head back now and wait for you tonight, Nate,” Sheena said. She withdrew her hand from Nathaniel’s palm and turned to Ian. “You stay behind and see if Nate needs any help. No slacking off.”

“Yes, Miss.”
After that, Sheena left the Carver mansion, leaving the rest to Nathaniel and the police. It was not until she got into her car that her expression gradually turned cold. She opened a pack of wet wipes from her bag and cleaned her hands.
After resolving matters with the Carver family, Sheena made a brief stop at Angle Group as she had stto spare and focused on checking the recent progress of Skye and Phoebe’s projects. She remained busy until the afternoon, deciding to return to Ocean Avenue two hours earlier than planned.
Upon her return, Elijah was crouched on the floor, cleaning. With the effects of the special medication in his system worn off, household chores becmuch more manageable.
Seeing Sheena return so early, Elijah found it strange. “You’re back quite early today. It’s only mid- afternoon. You’re not planning to have dinner yet, right?”
Sheena nodded lightly, standing at the doorway without moving.
Sensing her mood, Elijah set aside his work, washed his hands, and walked over to help her change into slippers and hang up her coat. After completing these tasks, he resumed cleaning the floor.
Sheena did not go upstairs. Instead, she sat on the sofa, silently observing him as he worked.
After a few minutes, she finally spoke, “Put aside the things in your hands for now and chere.” “Alright.” Elijah washed his hands again, then walked over, kneeling at her feet.
