Chapter 5

Elijah strode into the hall and helped Jennifer up. Then, he looked at Sheena disappointedly and said, "I thought you'd be different after the divorce, but it seems you're still resorting to such despicable tactics. You're disgusting! I had even planned to transfer the ownership of this mansion to you, but it seems unnecessary now." "Eli, don't blame Sheena. It's my fault for angering her, which led to her accidentally pushing me. It's all my fault. You can scold me," Jennifer pleaded pitifully, leaning weakly against him. As she glanced at Sheena, there was a flash of triumph in her eyes. Elijah ordered Sheena coldly, "Apologize to Jenny immediately." Sheena felt a little angry. Did he seriously expect her to apologize? Sheena observed the loving couple. Then, she smiled and gently pulled Jennifer from Elijah's embrace. They both thought Sheena would be upset or fight back, but to their surprise, she was still smiling. Jennifer was puzzled. Not knowing Sheena's intention, Jennifer did not think of resisting, which allowed Sheena to pull her closer. It was followed by a resounding slap! "Ah!" A scream far louder than before echoed as Jennifer held her swollen face, collapsing to the ground. Sheena had used almost all her strength in that slap, making her own palm tingle from the impact. Nonetheless, she was still smiling, appearing unbelievably calm. No one would believe that Sheena was the first to strike! She looked at Jennifer from above and spoke gently, "Since you said I hurt you, how else could I prove my wickedness if I didn't give you a good slap?" Jennifer sat on the ground with tears streaming down her cheeks as she whimpered. Elijah was completely caught off guard by Sheena's audacity, and he forgot to help Jennifer. He glared at Sheena, then threatened, "Not only did you refuse to apologize, but you even hit her again! Are you trying to test my limits?" "Mr. Freeman, don't let your imagination run wild." Sheena waved her hands, smiling even more radiantly than before. "Since we were once married, I'll give you a parting gift!" She pulled a thick stack of papers from her bag and tossed them at Elijah's face. The papers scattered in the air. Elijah caught one and saw that it was a record of text messages filled with insults and mockery. He silently read the contents from the anonymous number, feeling shocked. Turning it over, he found evidence of him being drugged the previous night, all the details pointed to Jennifer. Elijah frowned as he stared at Jennifer in disbelief. Jennifer had just finished reading the contents on the paper and the color drained from her face instantly. Indeed, she had arranged for someone to drug Elijah's drink. She even called him to the hotel, but she did not expect the driver to mistakenly drop him back at the mansion, giving Sheena the unexpected advantage. Jennifer was furious. Originally, she only wanted to send some hurtful messages to Sheena. However, she did not expect Sheena to confront her like this! What would Elijah think of her now? Before Jennifer could even attempt to explain, Sheena had already picked up her luggage, and for the last time, she looked at the man she had once deeply loved. "Elijah, remember this. I'm not the one who was abandoned in this divorce. It's you! I'm the one leaving you behind! Neither you nor the Freeman family deserve me!"
