Chapter 33
Leon did not say anything, but his meaning was clear. Under normal circumstances, he would not have
suspected Jennifer. However, he had just told her about Elijah looking for Sheena in the Angle Group’s
car park, and Sheena was attacked on her way home right after that.
It was too much of a coincidence, and it was hard to believe that Jennifer had nothing to do with it.
Jennifer appeared hurt and sorrowful, saying, “Leon, I’ve always regarded you as my best friend. I can’t
believe you would doubt me. How could I send someone to harm Sheena? I don’t even know which
route she takes.”
Leon’s heart softened instantly. “I believe you’re a good person, and I’m sure you didn’t do this. But did
you tell anyone else about it?”
Jennifer hesitated.
Since Leon already suspected her, he might check her recent calls if she did not provide useful
information. Then, her carefully built image would be ruined. At this point, she had no choice but to
sacrifice someone else.
Jennifer pretended to be contemplating before saying, “I was very upset that day, and Erin called
because she was worried, so I just mentioned it casually to her.”
She paused and quickly added, “No! Erin wouldn’t do such a thing. I trust her.”
Leon sighed with relief. “Ms. Moore, you’re a good person, but not everyone is as innocent and kind as
you.‘
After that, Leon left the hotel and dispatched his men to conduct a thorough investigation of the
Freeman mansion while discreetly severing any connections between Jennifer and the incident.
Once he left, Jennifer stomped her foot in frustration. She was initially confused about why no one had
reported back to her about the situation from the previous night, but it turned out Elijah had rescued
Sheena!
Now, she could only implicate Erin to protect herself. Once Elijah found out, security at the Freeman
mansion would be tightened, and she might be able to use Erin as a pawn for a while. All her efforts to
befriend Erin, a woman with lofty ambitions but limited abilities, seemed to be in vain. However, she
could not let that despicable Sheena off so easily.
Jennifer could not bear it! This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Her nails dug into her palms, and her eyes flashed with unabashed ferocity and malice.
Back at Howard’s mansion, Sheena received detailed information from him.
The thugs were hired by Faye at Erin’s instigation.
After reviewing the evidence, Sheena remained composed. She had already suspected that the
matter was related to them, but she could not help but wonder and ask, “Is Jennifer really not involved
in this incident?”
Howard pondered momentarily and replied, “I’ll send someone to investigate Jennifer’s side
thoroughly.”
“Okay.”
Howard asked further, “Since you already know who the culprit is, what do you plan to do now?”
Sheena smiled, already coming up with a cunning idea.
“Howard, can you lend me a few strong bodyguards?”
Howard was charmed by her mischievous smile and lovingly teased her by tapping her nose, My little
princess can have as many as she wants. How many do you need?”
Sheena smiled sweetly as she cooed with a soft and gentle voice, “You’re the best, Howard.‘
In the evening, at the Freeman mansion.
Faye was leisurely lounging on a chair in the garden while a beautician pampered her with at facial
spa.
Suddenly, a loud bang resounded from the main gate, startling Faye, who sat up straight.
