Chapter 24
Sheena raised her other hand and promptly slapped him across the face.
The leader was left dumbfounded by Sheena’s ferocity. Then, he caught a glimpse of Elijah’s Intense
gaze and began crying pitifully.
“W–Wait! P–Please, trust me! I really don’t know! The person paid us generously, asking us to take
turns assaulting you and filming it to post online…”
Before he could finish, a sudden kick sent him flying into a pillar.
Crack!
His bones cracked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before passing out.
Sheena’s expression darkened as she turned to Elijah. “Why didn’t you let him finish?”
Elijah’s face was grim. “I can’t stand hearing more of his nonsense. Besides, these people are awful!
Are you planning to let them go?”
He did not know what came over him, but the thought of those people planning to harm. Sheena
triggered his anger.
Although they were divorced, she was still his ex–wife. No one else had any right to lay a hand on her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlso, Elijah could not help but feel annoyed at Sheena questioning him. After all, those people
deserved death!
Her excessive kindness bordered on naivety.
Sheena sighed in frustration and glared at him. “You knocked him out with one kick, and he felt no pain.
You should’ve let him suffer slowly while he was awake. Making him beg for death is the greatest
torture. You let him off too easily.”
Elijah was speechless.
It turned out he was overthinking it.
She was not trying to be kind. In fact, she was clearly trying to exact revenge on them.
“I’ll have Leon investigate this incident. There’s no need to worry or be afraid,” Elijah assured
her.
Sheena rolled her eyes.
Did he think she was afraid?
Sheena had always been able to not let her grudge affect her actions. Since he had saved her this
time, she could refrain from mocking him as long as he did not pester her.
Sheena looked around at the thugs lying on the ground and suddenly felt suspicious. She turned to
Elijah and said, “You better investigate this thoroughly to see if this has anything to do with your family.
If it does, I won’t let them go.”
Elijah nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t be biased…”
He paused and added, “But now, shouldn’t we talk about us?”
“Sheena was puzzled. “Us? We’ve already ended things when we signed the divorce papers. There’s
nothing left for us to talk about.”
Having said that, she turned to get back into her car, ready to go home,
“Watch out!”
Elijah warned her just in time.
He saw a thug closest to Sheena quietly getting up from the ground, already raising a stick to strike at
her head.
Elijah could not stop him in time due to the distance!
For the first time, Elijah seemed to be in a panic.
However, he saw Sheena skillfully seize the thug’s stick, executing a graceful leg sweep and a perfect
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshoulder throw that sent the man flying.
The thug did not even get a chance to cry out before losing consciousness.
After dealing with the thug, Sheena looked at Elijah and smirked.
Elijah’s expression changed from one of panic to shock.
He could not shake off the image of Sheena’s impressive counterattack and her defiant smile as she
drove away in her shiny green Santana.
They had been married for three years, and he had always assumed she was just a pushover without
any outstanding qualities.
However, she repeatedly overturned his understanding of her after the divorce.
He had never truly known her!
As he watched Sheena leave, his gaze gradually darkened.
Observing her swift movements and skills, it seemed like… Jiu–Jitsu?
Moreover, she was quite skilled at it.
That level of skill could not be reached overnight. Furthermore, the cold and bold presence she gave
off with her every move…
Someone of that caliber could not be a mere orphan raised in Farlem’s orphanage!
