Chapter 244

1/2

Elijah’s heart suddenly ached, and those words pressed down on him so hard that he could hardly

catch his breath. He remained stunned for a while, unable to utter a word.

Seeing that he seemed fine, Sheena forcibly released his hand and went upstairs to her room.

Elijah watched her figure leave and, turning around, saw the carefully prepared table of food from last

night, still neatly arranged and untouched. The presentation was still exquisite, but the dishes had gone

cold, much like his heart.

Soon, a sense of indescribable loss and guilt surged within him.

Sheena changed into a new outfit and came downstairs. She noticed him standing there, lost in

thought, in the stairwell. She lightly cleared her throat, pulling him back to reality.

“Quickly finish your meal and change into clean clothes. After that, we’ll head out for a bit.”

“Where to?” Elijah asked.

Sheena smirked as she said, “The Freeman residence.”

A loud bang echoed.

The owners of the Freeman residence who were still asleep were startled awake by this unexpected

noise. Wilfred hurriedly brought his wife, Annie Freeman, downstairs to check on the situation.

His daughter, Coco Freeman, was also frightened. Running downstairs, she asked, “Mom, Dad! Was

that an earthquake? Did we just experience an earthquake?”

The three wore bewildered expressions and only realized the commotion in the living room when they

reached the ground floor. Sheena sat on the main sofa, pouring tea, and appearing to be the

mistress of the house.

Four handsome and tall bodyguards stood disciplined behind her sofa, and Elijah stood at the side. The

group was intimidating, looking as if they were there for debt collection.

Wilfred and his family stared at each other, all looking utterly confused. As they approached, Sheena

smiled and said, “Mr. Wilfred, it seems your family hasn’t been doing well lately, even laying off your

servants. In such a grand Freeman residence, there isn’t even someone to make me tea. I had to

trouble my bodyguards.”

Wilfred knew she was deliberately pointing out their shortcomings but had no way to refute them. The

Freeman residence had relied on monthly dividends from the Freeman Group shares to get by. With

the Freeman Group in the state it was after Bethany and Faye’s poor management. Having it return to

its former glory would take who knew how long, and there was not much in dividends for

them.

So, during this period, they all lived a more frugal lifestyle.

Wilfred appeared grim and spoke in an unpleasant tone, “Is this how you enter someone else’s home?

Don’t you know how to knock? What was that loud noise just now? What did you do?”

Annie quickly realized the situation and rushed to inspect, wincing at the sight. “Oh dear! Look at my

door! You’re too much!”

Sheena tilted her head, giving a small, helpless smile. “Mr. Wilfred’s door has worn out with age. When

my bodyguard John knocked, he used just a tiny bit of force, and it fell apart on its own. Oh well, I’m

just helping Mr. Wilfred clean up the mess.‘

Wilfred was furious.

How could a thick iron door fall apart from a simple knock?!

It was clearly kicked open!

However, having watched the talent show last night with Coco, he knew that Sheena was not only the

mastermind behind Angle but also the current CEO and largest shareholder of the Freeman Group.

Moreover, Howard and Skye were also supporting her.

Confronting her head–on would be a losing battle. Thus, Wilfred shifted his attention to Elijah, wearing

a troubled expression.

“Elijah, look at her. Even though she’s your ex–wife, she used to listen to you the most. Now, you’re

letting her bully the Freeman family. Is this how it’s going to be?”

The mention of used to listen to you the most‘ sent a shiver through Elijah’s heart. So, everyone knew

she used to love him a lot–something he remained oblivious to, even choosing to ignore all her

sacrifices.

Suppressing the surge of emotions within, Elijah stared at Wilfred with a cold gaze. He spoke sternly,

“Uncle Wilfred, you secretly gave my mom some bad advice and handed her two packets of dubious

substances, almost causing a major disaster. How do you explain that?”
