Chapter 291
As Melania Carver, Bethany’s mother, walked down the stairs leisurely, Sheena and her entourage had already entered the garden, filling the entire yard with people. Initially, the bodyguards at the entrance considered stopping them, but in the face of this overwhelming. group, they seemed small and helpless, unable to resist.
Sheena asked her men to bring over a lounge chair and casually sat in the middle of the garden.
Elijah went to the backyard of the Carver mansion to pick some oranges from the orange tree, standing quietly beside Sheena as he peeled them.
When Melania stepped out of the mansion, she was bewildered by the scene. However, having been in control of the Carver Group for many years, she maintained her composure and poise.
“What are you…” Before finishing her sentence, she suddenly noticed the oranges in Elijah’s hands, and her face turned pale. “Oh my! Elijah, my boy! These are my favorite fruits. You can’t touch them!”
“Can’t touch them?” Sheena chuckled playfully, delicately taking the peeled orange from Elijah’s hands. She gracefully tasted one and smiled radiantly, saying, “Indeed, the meticulously nurtured fruits from Carver mansion taste delightful.”
Melania watched as Sheena finished the entire orange, her heart aching. The tree was imported, of great value, and flourishing. Just one of these oranges was worth a fortune!
Elijah actually picked several of them!
She clenched her fists, suppressing the anger inside. Smiling, Melania said, “You truly are an extraordinary woman. You left a marriage with nothing but the clothes on your back, yet managed to take over the Freeman Group in such a short time. There aren’t many women I would admire in this world, but you’re one of them. I welcome you anytime if you want to visit. the Carver family, but why bring so many people here?”
Sheena did not bother to look at Melania, waiting for Elijah to finish peeling the oranges. She leisurely responded, “Madam Carver, you’re overthinking. I’m not here for a visit today. I’ve come to settle the score with Bethany.”
“Settle the score?” Melania was utterly confused.
Bethany happened to walk out of the stairs, and her eyes betrayed a venomous hatred that she barely concealed. However, her attention swiftly shifted to the group of men behind Sheena- clad in black suits, standing tall and imposing, their expressions stern and intimidating. Witnessing this display, Bethany felt a pang of unease. She walked up to Melania, standing beside her, projecting an intimidating aura as she glared at Sheena.
“I could sue you for trespassing and harassment for bringing so many people to my house without permission.”
Sheena nonchalantly waved her hand and responded, “Madam Carver just mentioned that she welcomes my visits to the Carver family anytime, so I came. Does that count as trespassing?”
The mother–daughter duo of the Carver family remained silent.
The bodyguards behind Sheena promptly exclaimed in unison, “It doesn’t count!”
JECOTE
The resounding, powerful voice echoed, startling the mother–daughter duo.
Satisfied with their reaction, Sheena sat up with a hint of arrogance and continued, “A few days ago, my car exploded on the way home after attending the charity gala. Forty people suddenly rushed out to kill me.”
Bethany sneered. “What’s that got to do with me? Clearly, you’re just inviting trouble with your provocative actions. It’s unfortunate that you survived.”
Sheena remained indifferent. “Indeed, thanks to your blessings, I’m still alive, albeit with minor injuries. That’s why I’m here today to settle the score. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease.
As Sheena mentioned her injuries, the faces of the “bodyguard squad” behind her grew increasingly ominous and grim.
Elijah still kept his head down, diligently peeling oranges for Sheena, seemingly disinterested in the unfolding drama.
A total of 59 people stood ominously before them, making the atmosphere even more intimidating. If not for their strong mental resilience, the Carver mother–daughter duo might have suffered from a heart attack.
Sensing the threat, Bethany instinctively gripped Melania’s arm, staring warily at Sheena. “What are you trying to do?”
