Chapter 280
“So, that’s how it is. I thought it was Sheena who saved me. It seems she lied to me.”
Jennifer, relieved, continued to sob, “Eli, she’s a heartless woman. It’s because of her that I ended up

like this. You must not let he
Bethany chimed in, “Elijah, I heard that since you signed that employment agreement with her, she has
been abusing and tormenting you. She’s responsible for the suffering of Jennifer, the Freeman family,
and you. Don’t you want to get back at her?”
Elijah lowered his head to look at the documents in his hands, deliberately concealing the anger in his
eyes. In a cold tone, he asked, “What do you have in mind?”
Bethany grinned and said, “How about we join forces? You continue to gain her trust, feed me
information about her every move, and we work together to seize the opportunity to take her down.”

her to me. I endured so much suffering in prison. She must experience it all! I want her to go through
extreme pain and die with resentment!
Elijah’s thin lips lightly pursed, his face expressionless. However, he was clenching his fists so hard
that his knuckles turned white. He looked at Bethany and calmly asked, “I can handle it alone. Why
should I join forces with you?”
“But, how Jenny appeared at the charity gala was orchestrated really well, unlike your usual methods. If
you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity and convince me that working with you is worthwhile.”
Bethany was somewhat pleased. After some thought, she felt that since they would cooperate, honesty
was in order.
“I didn’t plan this, and I was only responsible for executing it. But rest assured, the person behind all
this is meticulous, setting up traps at every turn. If you cooperate with us, you won’t lose out,” Bethany
assured him.
“Is that so?” He smiled faintly. “Then who is this person?”
“I can’t tell you that yet. Wait until you uncover the first thing on Sheena that allows us to trust each
other, and then I’ll reveal it to you.”
Elijah glanced at Lionel, and the deep–seated anger in his eyes was no longer concealed. “No, I don’t
have the patience to wait until then. I want to know now!”
As soon as Elijah said that, a muffled groan came from Bethany’s bodyguard.
The bodyguard’s eyes bulged out, and he clutched his neck, blood flowing continuously through his
fingers. Struggling for just a second, he finally dropped dead on the spot.
Standing behind him, Lionel pulled out a handkerchief, casually wiping the small knife in his hand
expressionlessly. /
Both Bethany and Jennifer, being women, were startled by this sudden turn of events.
“Eli!”
“Elijah, what are you doing!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElijah tore away the supposed truth in his hands and coldly glared at Jennifer on the ground.
“The truth of who saved me all those years ago doesn’t matter anymore. Even if it was you, I paid for
your education, satisfying all your materialistic needs. That debt is paid. Now, the person I love is her,
and the one I want to protect is her. After all the harm you’ve caused her, it’s time to settle the score.”
Jennifer collapsed to the ground, covering her mouth in disbelief and crying in pain.
Bethany, infuriated, gritted her teeth. “So, when you proposed to cooperate earlier, it was all a
deliberate lie? You wanted to lower my guard and send someone to kill me?”
Elijah did not argue. He turned to Lionel and ordered, “Take them back to the mansion. Leave it to
Sheena to settle the score.”
“Yes, Mr. Freeman.”
Lionel pulled out a medicated handkerchief and walked toward Bethany.
Bethany took two steps back, leaning against the door, chuckling.
“Elijah, do you really think the person behind this didn’t expect these scenarios? Since your refuse to
join forces, let’s see if you have what it takes to get us out of here alive!”
