Chapter 399
Faye was momentarily stunned. She lowered her head, eyes slightly avoiding Sheena’s gaze, and forced a wry smile.
“He… didn’t say much. He just told me to take good care of you.”
Sheena furrowed her brow, her expression stern, clearly not buying Faye’s words.
Faye continued, “Actually, his death isn’t your fault at all. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so harsh on you and treated you better, maybe you wouldn’t have been so disheartened to seek a divorce, and he wouldn’t have fought so hard to salvage the relationship.”
Faye could not go on, tears streaming down her face again.
Sheena handed her a tissue box, her eyes reddening once more. Holding back her tears, she said, “Regardless of whether you’re sincere this time, I’ll personally go to the Freeman Mansion and return it to you the day after tomorrow.”
“Really?” Faye cried even harder. “I’m sorry. You’re such a good girl. It’s my loss for not appreciating you in the past. I’m truly sorry!”
Sheena sighed, her tone calm. “I don’t lack money nor a place to live. So you don’t need to thank me. Between us, Elijah… had paid the price for everything.”
Feeling even guiltier, Faye trembled as she cried.
Seeing her in such distress, Sheena walked over, gently patting her back to soothe her, and added, “By the way, I accept his will, but I don’t have the energy to manage the Freeman Group anymore.”
Faye stopped crying, looking up at Sheena. “What do you plan to do then?”
Sheena’s gaze was determined. “If you trust me, you have to steel yourself.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You’ll find out the day after tomorrow.”
Faye met her gaze, a mix of skepticism and faint anticipation in her heart. Now, she truly regretted pushing away such a good daughter–in–law. However, no matter how much she said, it would not change anything.
In the following two days, Sheena arranged for Farlem’s best etiquette instructor, along with Ford and four bodyguards, to accompany her to the Freeman Mansion.
Chaoter
Faye and Erin were still wearing servant uniforms at the Freeman Mansion when Sheena arrived, and they were engaged in cleaning duties. During this period, the two had kept a low profile, and the other servants who used to vent their frustrations on them had eased up a bit.
Seated in the main position of the living room, Sheena sipped her tea, and on the coffee table lay the property transfer agreement for the Freeman Mansion.
When Faye entered, Sheena gestured for her to sit on the small sofa beside her.
As Erin came in, she immediately started barking at Sheena, “You bitch! How dare you come to the Freeman Mansion! Our current situation is all because of you! You jinx! You…”
“Shut up!” Faye sternly scolded her.
Erin, feeling frustrated, retorted, “Mom, what’s gotten into you lately? What’s wrong with me scolding her a bit? Why are you always taking her side? Are you still my mom?”
Faye sighed heavily, disappointed with Erin’s attitude, and chose to ignore her.
Sheena remained unruffled and calmly said, “You can curse if you want. After I finish, you can have your fill of it.”
Erin was surprised that Sheena allowed her to curse freely. She grumbled, “What do
you want to say?”
Sheena glanced at the documents on the table and explained, “I can return the Freeman Mansion to you, and I can even transfer 40% of my shares in the Freeman Group to you, reserving the remaining 45% for your future children.”
Erin listened, stunned. “Are you really this generous?”
“But I have my conditions. The shares will only be transferred to you once you’re capable of managing the Freeman Group. Madam Freeman will sign the transfer agreement for the Freeman Mansion after you fulfill all those conditions.”
