âReplacement?â Elliot laughed, sneering as he cast a sharp and mocking gaze at Sheila, âAre you suggesting you should be the replacement? But, do you even measure up?â
Lionel chimed in with sarcasm, âSeriously, who do you think you are, Ms. Sheila?â
Sheilaâs face completely froze.
âMr. Jenkins, I hope that when Sheenaâs status as an illegitimate daughter becomes public, you can still choose to marry her despite the plummeting stock market of the Jenkins Group.â
Sheila chuckled arrogantly as she turned and walked away.
Watching her get into her car and leave, Lionel scoffed, muttering through gritted teeth, âShe acts as if sheâs not an illegitimate daughter herself! Iâm so angry! Whatâs so special about her? Who the hell gave her the audacity? Jacintha is only nineteen too, but her little schemes are adorable. Yet, Sheilaâs cunning is purely disgusting!â
Lionel continued to vent his frustration, finding it hard to calm down.
Ignoring Lionelâs rant, Elliot calmly instructed, âHandle the DNA test between Nana and Austin. Make sure everything is taken care of.â
âYes. You can trust me on this!â Lionel responded, immediately heading into the visitation room.
After giving the instructions, Elliot carefully carried Sheena to the carâs back seat.
Even though Lionel had gone off to handle things, Elliot, being considerate, had a driver this time. During the journey, he embraced Sheena while working on his laptop, seemingly dealing with business matters.
However, the moment Sheena sat in the car, she opened her eyes. She leaned silently against Elliot, gazing coldly out the window, lost in thought.
At this critical moment, she could not possibly fall asleep. Yet, she could not be bothered to deal with Sheilaâs taunts, so she left it to Elliot to handle.
Upon arriving at the Jenkins estate garage, Elliot prepared to lift Sheena out of the car, only to discover that she had been awake the entire time.
He gently used his fingers to tap her nose, asking, âHow long have you been awake? Was the position uncomfortable because I was working?â
Sheena smiled. âItâs fine. I just woke up.â
Elliot did not say anything and just calmly carried her out of the car, holding her tightly as they headed back to E&S Haven.
As they passed through the winding alleys of the Jenkins estate, Sheenaâs gaze remained fixed on his face.

After hesitating for a while, she finally asked, âEli, if⦠if Iâm truly not the Lawson family heiress, our engagement wonât stand. Youâre the mighty head of the Jenkins Group⦠If the matter of you marrying a convictâs daughter becomes public knowledge, a seemingly insignificant illegitimate child, the Jenkins Group could suffer significant losses. You might lose billions overnight. Even in that case, would you still be willing to marry me?â
Elliot listened silently, looking ahead, walking seriously without glancing down at her or giving an immediate answer to her question.
âNana, letâs get back first. I have a gift for you.â
Not getting an answer, Sheenaâs heart sank.
Without the identity of the Lawson family heiress, and if she indeed turned into a convictâs illegitimate daughter, the immense disparity in status would surely make even Elliot hesitate.
She should understand.
However, she could not help but feel so disappointed and let down.
In a single day, she found herself betrayed by everyone, left alone.
Even Elliot was not the unwavering man she could rely on in the face of a major dilemma. She could only trust herself and fight her own battles for redemption.
