Chapter 14
Sheena pointed at Erin and replied simply, “You can ask her yourself.”
Erin was still coughing, her face flushed as she pointed at Sheena angrily. However, she could not say
anything.
Seeing that, Jennifer looked at Sheena with disappointment and said, “Sheena, Erin is like
your sister. Even though she said some unpleasant things at the hotel earlier, she apologized. Why did
you do this? She’s just a young girl, Sheena. You used to be kind–hearted. Why have you changed so
much?”
Jennifer’s words shifted the blame toward Sheena.
Erin nodded, pretending to be hurt and wronged.
Whispers spread through the crowd. Erin, being the daughter of the Freeman family, had the crowd
siding with her, and many began accusing Sheena..
Elijah remained silent, still staring at Sheena.
Sheena felt uncomfortable under his stare and asked coldly, “You know Erin’s personality best. Do you
also think I deliberately sought revenge on her?”
Elijah remained silent, neither confirming nor denying her question.
Sheena sneered, finding her own question absurd.
T
When has Elijah ever trusted her? Whether he believed her or not, she couldn’t care less.
She turned to leave but was stopped by several socialites who were close to Erin.
“Hey! Did you think you could just walk away after hurting someone?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“That’s right! You’re not allowed to leave until you apologize to Erin!”
Sheena snorted, ready to retort, when Howard pushed through the crowd and stood in front of her.
Seeing Howard, the socialites‘ eyes sparkled, and they took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
“Mr. Lawson, look at how malicious and vile this woman is!”
“That’s right, Mr. Lawson! You must help Erin get justice. Besides, how can this woman be worthy of
someone of your stature?”
Howard’s expression remained neutral. Instead, he adjusted his tie and slowly removed his suit jacket.
As the socialites watched him in awe, he gently draped the jacket over Sheena, his gaze full of
affection.
“It’s getting late. Take this, or you might catch a cold.”
The crowd watched in shock as Howard draped his jacket over Sheena, and the hostile voices against
her abruptly stopped. The socialites were envious and glared daggers at Sheena.
However, Howard seemed unfazed and casually put his arm around Sheena’s shoulder. “It’s
getting late. Let’s head back.”
Sheena nodded in agreement.
As they turned to leave, they heard Jennifer asking, “Mr. Lawson, it’s undeniable that she hurt Erin. Are
you really going to protect her?”
Howard turned back, but his gaze met Elijah’s.
“My little girl never starts trouble unless someone provokes her. Mr. Freeman, if you don’t believe me,
you can check the hotel surveillance, or better yet, let’s go to the police station and let them investigate
this matter thoroughly.”
Elijah was taken aback by Howard’s words, especially by how intimately he addressed Sheena.
Seeing the closeness between the two, he could not help but wonder if they knew each other during his
marriage.
Elijah clenched his fist, staring at Sheena in Howard’s arms, and asked sternly, “Did you betray me?”
The crowd suddenly erupted in a buzz of whispers.
Why did Elijah sound like he was jealous?
As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Sheena met his gaze and replied, “In our three years
of marriage, I have done nothing wrong, and I should be the one asking you that instead.”
Then, Sheena shot a glance at Jennifer, who was holding onto Erin.
With that, Sheena left the Eastern Hotel with Howard without looking back.
The crowd was in an uproar!
