I Became His Sweetheart

Some people refuted, “The Moore family has long publicly severed ties with her. She’s no longer part of that family!”

“But didn’t she get sentenced to prison? What is she doing here?”

“Why does she look so ugly now? Her skin is all wrinkled, and it looks like she has aged ten years!”

Jennifer felt the gazes of the crowd and trembled helplessly. She scanned everyone, trying to find that most familiar figure. “Eli! | want Eli! My Eli...”

Bethany looked curious in that direction. “Elijah, it seems lively over there. Let’s go take a look”

Without waiting for Elijah’s approval, she walked over, parted the crowd, and kindly reserved a spot for Elijah.

“Oh, Elijah, isn’t that Jennifer?”

Hearing that name, Elijah frowned as an icy aura emanated from him.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Jennifer saw him and was instantly overwhelmed with emotion, crying, “Eli, it’s you! You have no idea how much I’ve suffered these days. | endure torment every day just to see you.

Her voice was hoarse, filled with sorrow. Yet, her face, covered in bruises and swollen, made her appear pitiful yet monstrous. While sobbing, she crawled excitedly toward Elijah’s feet, reaching out to grab his leg.

Elijah’s expression changed slightly, almost instinctively taking a step back.

Skye, enjoying wine in the main banquet hall, vaguely heard the commotion and pulled

Sheena over to check out the scene.

Upon arrival, they witnessed Jennifer persistently crawling toward Elijah’s feet.

Elijah appeared disgusted and kept retreating, coincidentally backing into Sheena, who was walking over. Sheena quickly supported his lower back, and a sly smile formed on her lips.

“Are you setting things up for an accident?”

Elijah was not embarrassed. Instead, his face turned a bit pale as he bent down to rub his leg, saying, “Sheena, my knee hurts. | want to go back to the mansion.”

His brows were tightly knit, and when he looked back at her, the previously intense hostility in his eyes quickly transformed into the face of a wronged, submissive man.

Sheena could not be bothered to expose him, casually glancing at Jennifer, who was stunned by his words. Then, she sneered and said, “Well, that won’t do. This is your private matter. Handle it yourself.

After saying this, the hand supporting Elijah’s lower back exerted force, pushing him toward Jennifer. She then stood by, casually watching the drama unfold, her eyes revealing a

nonchalant coldness.

After searching for this person for a long time, she unexpectedly appeared at the Garden Hotel’s charity gala. Hence, Sheena was more than willing to watch this play if someone was willing to perform it.

On the floor, Jennifer reached out to Elijah with a pitiful expression. “Eli...”

Elijah steadied himself in time, and as he looked down at her, his black eyes showed only indifference and a chilling coldness. He whispered sternly, “Stay right there. Don’t come any closer.”

Jennifer, pierced by his cold gaze, began to sob without caring about her image. “Eli, don’t you recognize me? I’m your Jenny, your fiancee! Do you know how much I’ve suffered for you? That bitch Sheena framed me and threw me into prison! 1 endured so much hardship for you!”
