Chapter 468
The man gracefully stepped out of the car, exuding a dignified and aloof
demeanor. His presence was commanding, and the silver–gray mask on his face added an air of
mystery.
“Mr. Jenkins?”
“It really is Mr. Jenkins! To think he’d be attending a small event like this. personally! It truly shows how
much he cares about Ms. Lawson, his fiancee!”
“Oh my, I envy her so much! This is just too much!”
Many CEOs had brought their female companions, and since Elliot exited the car, their gazes were
fixed on him with intense jealousy. The companies that had initially planned to leave had yet to depart,
and witnessing Elliot’s arrival left them regretful.
They cast resentful glances at Lauren, who was still in shock, unable to utter at word.

Sheena stared in surprise and a hint of annoyance as Elliot approached. She had explicitly told him not
to come, to stay and recover properly at the mansion..
This man never listened!
Elliot, under everyone’s scrutiny, reached Sheena, and the buzzing discussions automatically ceased.
In the serene environment, he gracefully lifted Sheena’s left hand, kissed its back, and said in a low,
magnetic voice, “I’m sorry for being late.”
Sheena, still surprised, raised an eyebrow at him. “Yes, so when we return, I’ll have to punish you!”
With a teasing smile, Elliot replied, “How about punishing me for two days straight? I’ll follow your lead.”
The crowd of socialites and female companions could not help but scream. Everyone had been forced
to witness their public display of affection, and they could not help but wonder if the punishment Elliot
meant was exactly what they had in mind…
Sheena had not expected him to be so bold, daring to flirt with her openly in front of so many people.
She maintained a smile, meeting his gaze, but inwardly, she was already grinding her teeth.

Elliot had timed his arrival perfectly. The ceremony was just beginning. With his appearance, the
ceremony had a slight alteration.
He and Sheena jointly held the red ribbon, each cutting a section.
The atmosphere at the venue was becoming lively.
Lauren had been embarrassed twice in one day, especially the second time when she deliberately
spoke loudly. Now, she wished she could find a place to hide.
Taking advantage of the lack of attention on her, she slipped away.
With the ceremony successfully concluded, all the guests joined in to explore the building.
Feeling tired from socializing, Sheena decided to delegate the responsibility to Elliot since he had
volunteered to be there and invest in Angle Group. She retreated to a quiet corner with Barbara to take
a break..

Barbara observed Elliot navigating through obligatory socializing. “Is he still considered your investor?
You’re not just avoiding the crowd. You’re also exploiting him.”
Sheena’s gaze lingered on Elliot. “Misbehaving men need to be taught a lesson.
“He doesn’t seem misbehaving to me.” Barbara chuckled, covering her mouth. ” He looks quite
obedient to me.
“He’s good at putting on a show,” Sheena replied, pouring herself a glass of champagne and sipping it
thoughtfully. “He loves pretending and telling lies!”
However, Sheena did not delve into too many specifics, not wanting to disclose
too much to Barbara.
Barbara, on the other hand, was unfazed. “Well, you seem to have chosen the right person to chat
with. A disobedient man needs some direction! I’m quite experienced in this area.”
