Chapter 218
Elijah was incredibly handsome!
Ford finally understood why Sheena kept Elijah around. He was truly a treat for the eyes. “Ford?” The
two, still holding the canes, called out to him in confusion.
Ford snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Elijah’s gruesome back. “Forget it. Given his condition,
this is probably his limit. If we wake him up with water and continue, it’ll probably make him pass out
again after just a few lashes. Mr. Lawson mentioned a swift resolution. Let’s go.”
“But what do we tell Mr. Lawson…”
”וויד
go and tell him the truth,” Ford replied.
As the group prepared to leave, Ford summoned Sawyer and Owen, who were lurking in the shadows.
“What did you two see just now?” Ford asked.
Sawyer and Owen lowered their heads, saying, “Mr. Freeman fainted in the living room due to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexhaustion from housework. We didn’t see anything else.”
Satisfied, Ford nodded. “If Ms. Sheena asks, stick to this story. If she doesn’t, then pretend nothing
happened. Got it?”
“Understood.”
After that, the group departed.
Sawyer and Owen, following their orders, returned to their posts without paying any attention to the
man who had fainted in the living room.
Sheena was the apple of her brothers‘ eyes and hurting her was just asking for trouble!
Elijah curled up alone on the cold marble floor of the living room. His head remained groggy‘, caught in
a cycle of being awakened by pain, then fainting, enduring torment repeatedly.
Lionel discreetly visited Jennifer in prison. When the police brought her out, he was left stunned.
Jennifer had only been in prison for a short time, yet a third of her hair had turned white, and her skin
looked unhealthy. She resembled a madwoman, and it was as if she had aged ten years. Clearly, her
time inside had not treated her well.
When she saw Lionel, she became excited and tearful.
Jennifer cried, “Is Eli back in Farlem? Did he send you to rescue me? I knew he wouldn’t forget
me…”
Lionel chose not to reveal that Elijah already knew the truth about her lying. Instead, he said, ” Ms.
Moore, I came to clarify a few things. I hope you can tell me the truth without hiding anything.”

Jennifer hesitated for a moment, then suddenly erupted in a frenzy. “Aren’t you here to rescue me?
How could Eli be so heartless to me? Why is he going back on his words? Is it because I’ve grown old
and ugly, so he doesn’t love me anymore?”
Jennifer’s crazed appearance startled Lionel. Regaining his composure, he chose to deceive her for
the time being. “So, you need to tell me the truth without holding back. That way, Mr. Freeman might

have a chance to help you.”
Upon hearing this, Jennifer gradually calmed down and began to narrate seriously.
“I’m innocent! Sheena set me up! To ruin my reputation, she personally went to Luivine and hired a
doctor. I don’t know how, but she actually cured Hannah. Then, she and Hannah conspired against me
at the press conference, and…”
“Wait!” Lionel heard a crucial point and quickly interrupted her. “Which hospital in Luivine did Sheena
go to? Do you know the name of the doctor?”
Jennifer pondered and replied, “I only know it was a specialist hospital. Considering how Hannah was
paralyzed and still managed to wake up, it must be a very famous doctor!”
After chatting for a while and realizing he could not extract any more information, Lionel said a few
words and then visited Leon.
Leon’s account of Sheena going to Luivine was essentially consistent with Jennifer’s. After the prison
visit, Lionel promptly had his people investigate all the doctors at the central hospitals in Luivine
capable of performing major brain surgeries, especially those who were absent during that particular
period.
