Chapter 45
Elijah left the restaurant without saying a word.
Leon had no choice but to call and instruct his subordinates to release Sue and Isaac.
Sue and Isaac were trembling in fear in a pitch–black room where they were bound.
Sue could not believe that Sheena actually knew someone as influential as Elijah, and her jealousy of
Sheena deepened.
How could someone raised in an orphanage, who was also divorced, attract the attention of so many
outstanding men?
However, at that moment, she was more terrified than jealous.
She was scared of how Elijah would handle their situation.

Trembling, they did not even have a chance to plead before Leon’s men untied them. Then, without a
single word, the group left them behind, not even sparing them a glance.
Isaac immediately called James to inquire about the situation while Sue anxiously listened. However,
all his calls went to voicemail.
They were left puzzled, wondering why they were released so easily. Nonetheless, they decided to
leave the restaurant, fearing Elijah might change his mind.
Once they returned, Sue contacted Katie and learned about James and Tony’s arrest.
Katie questioned, “What on earth happened?”
“Mr. Freeman, the CEO of Freeman Group, overheard my conversation with Mr. Clarke. He ended up
tying us up. As for Mr. Williams and Mr. Landon, I suspect Mr. Freeman had a hand in sending them to
prison,” Sue speculated, still puzzled. Then, she continued, “But I can’t figure out why he let me and Mr.
Clarke
1. go.
Katie fell silent. Finally, she said, “I’ll have my people investigate this matter thoroughly. You just keep
an eye on that woman.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Sue turned to embrace the man beside her.
The balding man in his forties playfully pulled Sue into his arms and teased, “Ms. Sheena seems quite
impressive. Why do you dislike her so badly?”
Sue pushed him away irritably. “It’s all your fault! You promised to help me with my promotion, but that
woman stole my chance. If she weren’t attractive, would you care about this?”
Remembering something, Sue continued, “And you actually gave me a used BMW. Do you think so
little of me?”
The man stumbled for words and tried to coax Sue. “You’re the most beautiful woman in my
heart. It’s just that I’ve been facing some financial difficulties recently. As soon as things improve, I’ll
personally take you to a high–end dealership to pick a better one.”
Sue pouted, expressing her displeasure.
“Since you’re so eager for the position, I’ll make it hard for her at tomorrow’s meeting. When the time
comes, you can back me up. Since she’s new, she’ll surely make a fool of herself in public. Then, the
position will be yours soon enough, right?”
Sue’s mood instantly brightened up. “Deal!”
The man nodded and looked at Sue lustfully. “Sweetheart, after everything I’ve done to help you,
shouldn’t you be rewarding me?”
Sue blushed and scolded him playfully, “You’re so shameless!”
