Chapter 164
“Did Old Man Zimmer punish you again? Dld he go too hard on you? Let me see,” she said, attempting to pull at Skye’s pants.
Skye blushed, quickly pushing her hand away. “No! I’m a grown–up now. It’s natural to care about ay image, right?”
Observing his expression, Sheena recalled that he was still normal when they walked to the car, not looking like someone who had taken a beating. Moreover, this little troublemaker had a busy shooting schedule, working earnestly and hardly any missteps.
“You’re known to be a brat, so why did you come out on the losing side against scum like David? What happened to you?” Sheena pressed, curious.
Skye sighed, mumbling, “I’m sorry. I just felt that you don’t like the way I am, so I’ve been trying to change. Sheena, if you give me more time, I promise I can become the person you like.”
Sheena listened intently, genuinely surprised. However, she disagreed with what Skye had said. “Why would you change? Do you think it’s worth it to do so just because of my preference?”
Skye nodded, looking determined. “As long as you’ll like it, it’s worth it.”
one sincere as she
“But I don’t like it.” Sheena frowned, her continued, “Everyone is a unique e continued, “Everyone is a unique individual. There’s no need to change oneself for someone else and diminish one’s own worth. Only by sincerely being yourself can you truly showcase your personal charm.”
Back then, Sheena fell in love with Elijah and naively believed that changing herself and giving everything would make Elijah love her in return. Yet, what did she ultimately gain?
Nothing but humiliation and mockery, heartbreak and torment.
However, she would soon reclaim all those painful memories from that man!
Since she had lived through it herself, Sheena did not want her friends to be hurt by such things again.
Skye remained silent, still looking gloomy.
Sheena sighed, realizing he was still too young. No matter how much she reasoned, he might not fully grasp it. Hence, she suggested having dinner with him to help ease his mood.
Sure enough, the child–like Skye instantly perked up, regaining the sparkle in his eyes.
After disguising themselves, they both went to Ninth Street in Farlem, the liveliest area, to get some kebabs.
After a full day’s work today, Sheena was exhausted, so when she returned to the mansion, she fell straight into bed.
Howard felt sorry for his sister and instructed Auntie Gloria to turn off her bedside alarm clock discreetly.
Sheena slent into the afternoon Aftor funahan:
She had only just settled in when Colin arrived. After a brief exchange of greetings, Colin got straight to the point.
“In the past few days, I’ve researched the market situation in Farlem and found a small real estate company that could serve as a starting point for you.”
As he spoke, he handed Sheena the company’s information. It was a company on the brink of filing for bankruptcy. Due to its small scale, hardly anyone knew about it in the market, and the owner also had a clean background.
It was indeed perfect for Sheena to acquire and quietly operate.
“Thank you, you’ve truly been a great help,” Sheena expressed her gratitude.
Colin blushed slightly, saying, “I don’t know exactly what you’re planning, but as long as I can assist you, that’s what matters.”
Sheena wasted no time. On the same day, she acquired the company and became the largest shareholder and owner behind the scenes.
When signing the agreement, the former owner was bewildered and asked, “I don’t know why you insisted on buying the company, and you’re not even changing the registered name or allowing your identity as the behind–the–scenes owner to be public. What’s the reason behind all this?”
