I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 258

Colin gave it a thought and realized it would not be appropriate to have two extra guests during such a romantic moment.

“You two wait here. It’s just the rooftop. There shouldn't be any problems.”

“Yes, Mr. Upton.”

The elevator at D’Avella Hotel could not directly reach the rooftop, so they had to use the escape corridor to access the top floor. Logan opened the rooftop door and gestured with a bow.

Colin returned the gesture with a polite smile and confidently walked in. To his surprise, the rooftop was empty, devoid of anything. “Where's Sheena? You tricked me!”

He turned around to leave, and suddenly, a man dressed in a hotel staff uniform lunged at him, covering his mouth with a white cloth.

Colin struggled briefly before being overpowered and brought down. The man in the hotel staff uniform removed his mask, revealing Lionel’s face. Logan asked, “Where should we take him?”

Lionel thought for a moment, replying, “Have the guys take the staff passage to the jetty and load him onto a cargo ship, preferably one heading out to sea. Mr. Freeman did say as far as possible.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Logan expressed concern, “Is it safe to dump him on a cargo ship with nothing? After all, he’s the heir of the Upton family.”

Lionel gave him a light slap, “You worry for him? Do you think a healthy man like him can’t find his way? And how long do you think we can hide it from the Upton family? He had the gall to call Ms. Sheena a divorcee. Tossing him on a cargo ship is letting him off easy.”

“What about the two Upton family bodyguards downstairs?”

“Til handle them.”

With their roles assigned, the two men went their separate ways, initiating their respective actions.

Sheena was on her way to the D’Avella Hotel when her phone suddenly displayed a message from Colin.

[Colin: Sheena, the Upton family has an urgent matter requiring my return. We'll have to reschedule our dinner. I’m sorry!]

She found it strange for the Upton family to have such an urgent matter at this late hour. Moreover, Colin was not the type to break commitments. Thus, Sheena pulled over to the side of the road to call Colin.

However, the call went straight to voicemail with an automated message about the phone being switched off.

Was he already on a plane?

Without dwelling on it too much, Sheena turned the car around and headed back to Ocean Avenue. Elijah’s joy at her return was evident when he saw her.

Sheena found his attentiveness odd but did not pay it much attention. She casually ate a few bites for dinner and went upstairs to rest.

The next day, they both headed to the office as usual. In the CEO’s office at the Freeman Group, Sheena, Elijah, and Sarah were working on the detailed plans for the pre—selection project against the

Carver Group.

John urgently knocked on the office door, shouting, “Miss!”

When he noticed Elijah and Sarah, he abruptly fell silent.

Sheena sensed the concern in his eyes and, though puzzled, made up a quick excuse to have Elijah

and Sarah step out.

Once everyone was gone, Sheena asked, “What's going on?”

John approached her and whispered, “There’s an urgent message from Farlem Women’s Prison. Jennifer has gone missing!” Chapter 259
