Chapter 11
Sheena was enjoying the music while savoring the chocolate mousse prepared by a well- known chef
flown in from France when a hand suddenly appeared before her.
“Miss, would you honor me with a dance?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
The deep voice belonged to none other than Elijah.
Sheena’s appetite was ruined when she saw his face.
Their gaze met, and Elijah’s heart skipped a beat.
It was the first time he observed Sheena’s face up close, and he could not help but notice her perfect
features and her flawless skin enhanced her beauty.
Her eyes glistened like a starry night, with a determined and subtly stubborn gaze.
Elijah found himself entranced by Sheena’s eyes.
Lost in thought, Elijah was caught off guard when Sheena scoffed, her gaze now filled with coldness
and disgust.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Freeman, but you’re unworthy of dancing with me.”
The onlookers nearby could not believe their ears.
Did that woman really say that?
Did she just say that someone as outstanding as Elijah was not qualified to dance with her?
Elijah’s expression turned cold instantly, and any sense of familiarity he felt earlier vanished upon
hearing her remark.
Nonetheless, he maintained his composure and put on a facade of politeness as he replied, ” It’s just a
dance. Are you actually afraid, Ms. Sheena?”
Sheena’s gaze turned equally cold.
Was he going to stubbornly bother her?
Did the man not understand what she just said?
Their eyes met again, and the tension escalated.
Howard smiled and stood up and interjected, “Sheena is my companion. Mr. Freeman, you should
focus on yours instead.”
Then, he gently returned Elijah’s hand to his side, glancing at Jennifer. “You shouldn’t make your
companion jealous.”
Even so, Elijah did not move away.
Sheena became annoyed and whispered to Howard before leaving the dining hall and taking a stroll in
the garden.
Elijah wanted to follow Sheena, but Howard held him back, engaging in conversation with a
few other CEOS.
At a nearby table, Jennifer and Erin could not hear the specifics of the conversation, but they could
clearly see the ‘affectionate‘ exchange between them.
Erin glared at Sheena’s back and fumed, “That bitch is so shameless! They’re divorced, yet she’s still
pestering Eli!”
Jennifer was welling up with tears as she murmured, “Sheena… perhaps she really loves Eli. If Eli has
developed feelings for her during these three years, I… I’m willing to step aside and let them be.”
Her words made Erin panic. “No, Jenny! You can’t give up! I’ll only acknowledge you as my sister–in–
law, not this bitch! I hate her! As long as I’m here, she won’t have a chance to enter the Freeman family
again!”
Jennifer could not hold back her tears, and she felt worse than before, looking pitiful. “Erin, what else
can I do?”
Erin was frustrated. She glared at Jennifer, then looked in the direction Sheena had left. After some
contemplation, she had an idea.
“Jenny, leave this to me. I’ll make sure this bitch’s reputation is ruined, and she won’t compete with you
ever again!”
“Erin, what are you planning?”
Erin whispered in Jennifer’s ears, and Jennifer asked innocently, “Are you sure about this?”
“Just wait and watch the show!” Erin replied with a malicious grin before heading toward the garden.
Once she was gone, Jennifer’s face lost its sadness, and a glimmer of triumph flashed in her
eyes.
Erin fell for it, and she hoped Erin would not disappoint her.
