Chapter 141
“There’s no need to dwell on the past,” Sheena said calmly, raising her wine glass and taking another sip.
Colin realized he had asked an inappropriate question and quickly smiled, saying, “You’re right, let’s leave the past behind. I heard your dad has assigned you a task. How’s that going? Do you have confidence in completing it?”
“Of course, I’m determined to succeed,” Sheena replied, her eyes sparkling. “I’ve recently planned an all–girls talent show. I’m confident about it and believe it will bring more attention and popularity to the Angle Group.”
“That’s great, but there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you…”
Colin locked his gaze onto hers, his slightly intoxicated face showing some hesitation.
“You….” Ultimately, he decided to keep his true thoughts hidden, simply continuing with a faint smile, “I’m interested in partnering with the Angle Group. What do you think?”
“Of course, who would refuse a collaboration with a partner knocking on the door?”
The Angle Group currently needed significant resources and talents, and Colin’s proactive cooperation undoubtedly would bring her more benefits.
“Then it’s settled.” Sheena gave a cunning smile, reaching out to clink glasses.
“Alright!” Colin laughed heartily, clinking his glass to hers.
As the night deepened, the three ended the gathering and went to their respective rooms.
Sheena was not tipsy; in fact, she felt even more clear–headed than usual.
To bring down the Freeman family, she needed to accumulate strength within a short period. She pulled out a chair and sat at the table, ready to draft her initial plan to bankrupt the Freeman family.
The Freeman family was primarily involved in the real estate industry, so to overcome it, Sheena needed to establish a foothold in that sector. However, she did not know much about real estate.
After contemplating her options, she felt that seeking advice from Colin would be the most reliable choice. Hence, she quickly texted Colin.
[Are you asleep? I have something to ask you.]
[No, what’s up? I’m in the hallway.]
Sheena opened the door and found Colin standing at the end of the hallway by the window, letting the cold breeze blow over him as his gentle gaze was fixed on her.
“I want to enter the real estate industry, but I don’t know much about it. I need your help. This matter is important to me, so please, could you assist?” Sheena leaned against the window, closing it slightly.
Colin was surprised but did not pry into her intentions. “I do have some knowledge about it. Let me look into it tomorrow and prepare a report for you.”
Sheena expressed her gratitude and returned to her room, feeling content. With an industry insider’s assistance, her plan would be much easier to execute.
Satisfied, she drifted into a deep sleep.
However, at this moment, deep in the mountains at the border of Farlem and the neighboring city, someone was sleepless and troubled.
Elijah sat in the car, smoking one cigarette after another as his tired gaze fixed on the window. He had been searching for Sheena for two days and nights, yet there was no sign of her.
He refused to believe Sheena would die in this place and was determined to find her and bring her back to Farlem.
One of his subordinates yawned, groggily asking, “Mr. Freeman, when can we go back?”
