Chapter 381
Gabrielle Wa
left speechless, encountering such shamelessness for the first time. Sheena, on the other hand, found the situation utterly amusing.
Spoiled and used to having her way at home, Gabrielle never expected to face defeat at the hands of Elijah so soon.
“Nana…” Gabrielle pouted, looking at Sheena with her puppy eyes, torn between continuing her complaints and fearing a man better at acting than her.
Sheena’s expression turned serious as she locked eyes with Gabrielle, saying, ” Gabrielle, he’s right. He only listens to me. You live in my house and enjoy my hospitality, and yet you think you can lay hands on my people? Isn’t that crossing a line?”
Gabrielle was left dumbfounded.
Sheena continued, “This isn’t the Nicholls family. While I treat you like a sister, I won’t pamper you endlessly.”
“Nana…” Gabrielle protested.

“What! Tomorrow? I haven’t even had enough fun here for three days! Nana!”
Sheena ignored her whining.
What else could she do?
If Sheena did not Gabrielle back to the Nicholls family, Gabrielle would be left alone with Elijah in Ocean Avenue for two days!
“You’ve had enough fun the past few days, and it’s tfor you to go back,” Sheena said as she nudged Gabrielle’s shoulder, feeling slightly annoyed. “Go upstairs, change into decent clothes, and then cdown. Why are you wearing a nightgown? Who are you trying to seduce?”
Gabrielle pouted and reluctantly headed upstairs.
Once she was gone, Sheena turned to Elijah, who seemed quite pleased.
Sheena glared at him and mocked, “Do you think she looks great in the nightgown?”
Elijah surrendered, raising his hands. “I’m innocent! I didn’t even notice the

color she was wearing. Besides, I think you have the best figure, and I only enjoy looking at you.”
Sheena disliked hearing such cheesy words and changed the topic. “Do you find competing with a twenty–year–old girl fun?” Then, she pointed to the shattered glass on the floor and added, “You broke my glass, so you have to pay for it.”
Elijah gazed at her affectionately. “Alright, I’ll compensate ten times the value of it. Is that enough?”
“Barely.”
Sheena raised an eyebrow, looking arrogant.
Elijah was captivated by her beautiful smile, and there was an impulse to pull her into his arms and never let

However, he… might not have that chance.
After breakfast, Sheena took a day off, staying at hand organizing her plans for the trip to Svelton the next day. She sat on the living room sofa, watching a drama on TV while handling her phone to arrange affairs.

The peaceful day passed by quickly.
The next day, Sheena and Gabrielle packed their luggage. Elijah willingly helped Sheena carry her suitcase downstairs while Paul managed Gabrielle’s luggage.
Howard, feeling uneasy, insisted on going to Svelton as well, arranging to meet at the airport.
Elijah offered to drive Sheena to the airport, but she declined.
“I’ll be in Svelton for a few days. You don’t need to go to the Freeman Group during this tas Sarah is there, and everything should be fine. Just stay at the mansion obediently for two days. I’ll leave John, Sawyer, and Ian here to keep an eye on things.”
“Since you’re going for two days, you should bring two more people and just leave Ian here. I’m not going anywhere, and there’s no need for so many people to watch over me. Besides, with my skills, even if all five of them try to stop me, they won’t be able to.”
Sheena pondered for a moment, realizing he had a point. Thus, only Ian was left

Gabrielle was already sitting in the car, sulking. After Sheena finished her

arrangements, she went to open the car door. However, before she could finish her sentence, Elijah grabbed her wrist.
“What are you…” Sheena began, but she was abruptly pulled into his embrace. “Have a safe journey. Remember to eat well.”
