I Became His Sweetheart

Auntie Gloria continued chattering, but upon seeing Sheena in sports attire, her mouth hung wide in surprise. “Ms. Lawson, you look amazing in this outfit! It's such a refreshing look from your usual office attire!”

Auntie Gloria’s eyes gleamed with approval as she added, “Are you going to exercise?” “Fighting.” Sheena gestured dismissively.

“What? Fighting?” Auntie Gloria gasped, thinking she must have misheard. She asked, concerned, “Alone? Are you sure about this?”

Glancing at Sheena’s slender frame, worry slowly replaced Auntie Gloria’s surprise. “Don’t worry about me.”

Sheena slung her bag over her shoulder, striding out confidently. Then, she hopped into her Passat and sped off, following the navigation toward Gravel Hill.

Auntie Gloria marveled once more at Sheena’s striking appearance as she left. However, she quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly called Howard, fearing Sheena might get into trouble.

“Ms. Lawson said she’s going to a fight. Maybe you should put aside your work!” Auntie Gloria urged with seriousness. “What if something happens to her?!”

“Alright, | got it.”

Howard sighed helplessly.

“How’s the plan going? Have you caught that woman?” Jennifer anxiously inquired over the phone. Katie lazily replied, “Of course. | arranged this personally after all. There shouldn't be any issues.”

Jennifer’s mood brightened upon hearing Katie’s confident reply. Even the endless chirping of sparrows outside seemed less annoying.

“Have you messaged that bitch yet? Everything will go as planned, right?” Jennifer inquired, her sense of triumph mingling with her cautious nature. “What if she calls the police or tells Howard? Howard isn’t one to be messed with.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve looked into it and found that Sheena was close to this woman, Phoebe Chamberlain, in the orphanage. She wouldn't dare be rash.” Katie shrugged. Then, she added, I’ve already warned her through our contacts to come alone. Otherwise, they’ll kill Phoebe. | doubt she has the guts.*This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Outside the ward, a sudden shuffle of footsteps caught Jennifer’s attention. Assuming it was a nurse or doctor in the hallway, she paid it no mind.

“If this plan succeeds, she'll be gone for good,” Jennifer exclaimed excitedly. The thought of Sheena disappearing from her life was exhilarating, almost worth celebrating.

Katie was equally delighted, knowing that with Sheena out of the way, nothing would hinder her pursuit of love.

“You have my thanks this time. Once I’m out of here...” Jennifer was about to continue enthusiastically when the door creaked open.

Elijah stood at the doorway with a grim expression.

“Eli, you’re here?!” Jennifer panicked for a moment and quickly ended her phone call.

“| was just casually chatting with a friend and didn’t notice...”

She had deliberately stationed bodyguards outside the door so that she could chat freely with

Katie.

Did Elijah hear anything?
