Chapter 269

It was an unconscious woman with disheveled hair covering her face, emitting a sour smell. Her arms. and legs were covered in bruises, indicating previous abuse.

Bethany looked up at the man with a bewildered expression.

The man remained silent, only smiling, but that smile held a deeper meaning.

Bethany covered her nose and mouth, suppressing the urge to vomit, and lifted the woman’s tangled hair. “I-Isn’t this... Jennifer Moore?”

Was she not sent to prison by Sheena? Rumor had it she was sentenced to ten years, so how could she be out so soon?

“Her marriage arrangement with the Freeman family was canceled, and the Moore family severed ties with her. Now, she’s nothing but a useless person. What use could she have?”

The man continued to smile mysteriously. “You'll find out soon.”

In the following days, Elijah focused on recovering, and Sheena was busy with work at the company. Although they lived in the same mansion, they rarely saw each other.

The next day, after getting ready, Sheena smelled the delicious aroma of food as she walked down the stairs. Later, she found that breakfast was neatly arranged in the dining room, still steaming.

Sheena smirked. Someone's cooking skills had improved rapidly.

Approaching the kitchen, she found it empty, with no sign of anyone.

She called for Ford and asked, “Where's Elijah?”

“Ms. Lawson, Mr. Freeman got up early this morning, prepared breakfast for you, and then went to work at the Freeman Group.” Sheena chuckled.

Was he avoiding her because he knew he was almost fully healed, and she might confront him?

Shaking her head with a smile, she ate a few bites of breakfast and headed to Angle Group. Just as she settled into her office chair, John knocked on the door, ready to report the investigation results.

“Ms. Lawson, Mr. Freeman wasn’t lying. Mr. Upton was indeed taken away from D’Avella Hotel and casually thrown onto a cargo ship at the pier. As for his current whereabouts, that’s a bit challenging

to trace.”

He paused, then continued, “Although the surveillance at D’Avella Hotel within that time frame was Chapter 269

compromised, | stumbled upon a familiar face that was accidentally left undeleted.”

He handed Sheena a photo cropped from the surveillance footage. “Despite the person wearing a mask, don’t you think the features resemble Lionel?”

Sheena took the photo and examined it carefully.

Since Lionel had been working as Elijah’s assistant for the past few weeks, they had worked together occasionally. Sheena had seen him a few times and had a vague impression.

If it were indeed Lionel, it would likely rule out Elijah’s involvement in Jennifer’s abduction.

Feeling relieved, Sheena put down the photo and instructed, “Continue investigating Jennifer's whereabouts until we find her. Also, check for any recent movements from the Lawson family.”

“Yes, Ms. Lawson.”

Sheena nodded, signaling him to continue with his tasks. As she watched John leave, she fell into contemplation. If John could not trace anything with the help of Dark Bell, it was highly likely that the Lawson family

was behind Jennifer’s disappearance.

However, what could their purpose be in using Jennifer?
