Chapter 437
Sheena replied with great determination, “Yes, Grandpa Santiago. I feel that Elliot and I are not suitable. If there’s a chance in the future, we can… still be friends.”
Santiago was still surprised by her sudden decision. “Sheena, did he bully you? Tell me, and I’ll straighten him out for you!”
“No, he wouldn’t dare to bully me. It’s just that I…”
Fifteen minutes later, Sheena emerged from Santiago’s mansion, looking disappointed.
John was waiting at the door, and upon seeing her, he hurriedly asked, “Miss, how did it go? Did Old Man Jenkins agree?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheena shook her head.
Santiago had analyzed the pros and cons with her. The engagement between her and Elliot was no ordinary arrangement, and it involved many things. Moreover, their union had been labeled as a business alliance, and canceling the engagement just two days after would result in significant economic losses and public relations challenges for both the Jenkins and Lawson Groups.
Besides, Santiago no longer interfered in the affairs of the Jenkins family. Elliot, as the current head, needed to be consulted if she wanted to break the engagement.
Nonetheless, knowing Elliot’s character, even if she held a gun to his head, he probably would not agree to cancel the engagement.
Sheena was frustrated but lacked viable options!
This situation made her understand why Howard, despite disliking Katie, had kept their engagement title dangling for over two years. As descendants of prestigious families, breaking off a business alliance was not that simple.
Sheena sighed. She would have to consider this matter more thoroughly later. For now, she decided to ignore Elliot and his schemes.
“Starting today, if anyone related to Elliot comes looking for me, including his bodyguards and subordinates, deny their entry!”
“Yes, Miss.” John nodded, following her as they left Santiago’s mansion and strolled out of the grand palace of the Jenkins family.
Unknown to them, a young man in a navy-blue suit with golden-rimmed glasses unexpectedly saw Sheena as they turned a corner.
Stanley Jenkins squinted, gently adjusting his glasses. Then, he turned to his bodyguard, asking, “Is that the Lawson family heiress engaged to Elliot?”
The bodyguard took a closer look and replied, “Seems like it.”

“Sure, Mr. Stanley.”
Ten minutes later, he returned to Stanley and reported, “Mr. Stanley, it seems she’s here to call off the engagement, but Old Man Jenkins didn’t agree.”
“Call off the engagement?” Stanley pondered. “Elliot wanted this marriage, so she must hold a special place in his heart.”
“But I heard Elliot didn’t even attend her welcome-hbanquet. It seems like he doesn’t value her much,” the bodyguard added.
Stanley scoffed. “You wouldn’t understand. Elliot’s thoughts are not so easily read by someone like you. However, let’s probe a bit and find out.”
“What do you mean, Mr. Stanley?”
Stanley smirked and replied, “Elliot is away for a mission, and I heard there’s a gunfight on that side. What do you think would happen if he learned that his fiancee cin person to call off the engagement, and Old Man Jenkins agreed while he’s away?”
