Chapter 430
“Ms. Sheena actually…”
“Sigh… She’s just stubborn on the surface. In reality, she cared a lot about Mr. Freeman and had at
hard time accepting his death. It’s all in the past now. Let’s not dwell on it.”
Lionel was puzzled and asked, “But how did this happen? I heard Ms, Sheena has been quite fond of
Mr. Upton lately.”
“Mr. Upton?” John was perplexed, “Who told you that? Miss has never looked at any other man the way
she looked at Mr. Freeman.”
The two continued their conversation, but Elliot had stopped listening. His mind was buzzing.
John said that Sheena cared deeply about him, and she cried so much after his death. Moreover, she
even drank so much alcohol that it damaged her stomach.
Could the person he loved deeply still have feelings for him?
The person Sheena liked was not Colin, so was it possible that she meant his past identity of Elijah?
Elliot trembled all over. The emotions he felt were indescribable. He had never been so pleasantly
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsurprised, and he dared not imagine that Sheena actually loved him…
His eyes turned red, and he turned to go into the mansion to find Sheena, eager to tell her that he was
alive.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lionel, who had just finished talking with John, asked, “Mr. Jenkins, where are you going?”
Elliot pushed him aside, “To confess to Sheena.”
“Mr. Jenkins, have you thought this through? Last night was your first formal meeting after six months.
It was your best chance, to be honest, but you missed it and put on a show for her. She’s in a bad
mood now. If you go to her now, do you think she’ll forgive you?”
No, she would not.
If he confessed now, it would be like walking into a trap, which might backfire.
Sheena, in her anger, could cut ties with him completely. However, knowing that Sheena still loved him,
he could not bear to wait any longer!
Suppressing his inner joy, he began to analyze and think rationally about the situation.
Lionel also tried to help him think of a solution. “How about pretending to suffer from amnesia? Stir up
her sympathy, and you can reveal that your memory has returned when the time is right. Maybe she
won’t be as angry then?”
That was indeed an option.

After a moment of silence, Elliot, still wearing a stern expression, shook his head, “No, Sheena is too
smart. If she catches on to the amnesia act, it will only complicate matters further. I might end up as a
corpse for real.”
He gave it a thought and continued, “I need to find an opportunity to confess to her as soon as
possible… while she’s not completely consumed by anger.”
Then, Elliot instructed Lionel, “Tomorrow night, you’ll arrange for Sheena to come to my mansion. Tell
her I’m inviting her for dinner.”
Lionel seemed uncertain. “Will she come?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“She will,” Elliot asserted with determination. “Sheena is always suspicious, and last night’s events
won’t dispel her doubts. I suspect she’ll conduct her own investigation in the next few days and try to
find an opportunity to test me. I need to confess before she uncovers concrete evidence.”
Lionel nodded, finding the reasoning sound. He agreed that this matter could not be delayed.
If Sheena discovered evidence before the confession, realizing Elliot had hidden the truth, it could
escalate into a major issue.
Once the arrangements were made, Elliot took a few long strides toward the entrance of Santiago’s
mansion. After walking a short distance, he recalled something and turned back.
“That’s not enough. Find a whip for me, a rough one. It’s better if it can draw blood when whipped,
making the injuries look severe and frightening.”
Lionel winced. “Mr. Jenkins! That’s quite harsh on yourself!”
How would he win his wife back if he were to hold back?
Elliot had missed the best opportunity for an honest confession last night. If Sheena were willing to take
matters into her own hands tomorrow night, showing a willingness to forgive him by giving him a
beating, then the anger would likely subside.
However,
if she could not be bothered to take action, the situation would not be so easily resolved!
