Chapter 191
Ending the call, Elijah instructed Lionel and the rest to return and await further orders before hurriedly heading to the Freeman Group.
It was already after working hours, and the office was nearly empty. Elijah was not stopped even once, reaching the CEO’s office on the top floor without interruption.
Upon opening the door, he found that the entire room had undergone a drastic makeover. Unlike his usual preference for a black–and–white theme, the sofas were now green, and even the small coffee tablecloth was green.
Elijah despised the color, and he frowned in disgust.
A slender figure with her back facing him was at the office desk.
“Mr. Freeman, long time no see!”
As if hearing him enter, the woman swiveled in her chair, smiling brightly at him.
“Are you surprised to see me sitting in your chair?”
Elijah remained silent, just staring at the woman.
After not seeing each other for almost half a month, she seemed to have become even more beautiful. Even though she was smiling, her gaze was cold.
The person he had been searching for had miraculously appeared unharmed before him. He thought he would be delighted, but he discovered that he could not summon a smile.
While Elijah observed Sheena, she was sizing him up as well.
After such a long time, he seemed to have lost weight, and Sheena wondered what he had been through during this period.
Nonetheless, upon noticing that Elijah was looking at her with a grim expression, Sheena sneered, “You must be disappointed to find that I not only survived but also caused the downfall of the Freeman family, becoming the owner of the Freeman Group, right?”
Elijah remained silent, his eyes still fixed on her.
Sheena felt uncomfortable under his intense scrutiny. Despite losing everything, he still managed to put on an air of coolness.
She was determined to shatter that pride.
“In fact, there’s more to it. I also sent your beloved Jennifer and Leon to jail. Now, even the Freeman mansion belongs to me.”
Resting her chin on her hand, she locked eyes with the motionless man, smiling mockingly.
Nonetheless, Elijah knew that beneath that innocent yet alluring expression was a heart as scheming as it could be.
He had spent nearly half a month in the mountain range searching. Yet, how did she repay

him? She had Howard enlist Corey’s men to chase him and meticulously orchestrated the downfall of the Freeman family.
It was simply ridiculous!
“Why?” he asked angrily. His voice sounded a bit husky as he was still recovering from the fever.

Sheena’s face instantly turned cold. Just moments ago, when the topic of the Freeman family’s downfall was brought up, he remained silent. Clearly, only his dearest Jennifer could provoke a different reaction from him.
“You know well what you’ve done,” Sheena replied.
Elijah was puzzled, still burning with anger.
Sheena ignored the anger in his gaze and recalled the surprise she had prepared for him, smiling once again.
“To celebrate your return, I’ve specially prepared a surprise gift just for you besides the Freeman family’s downfall!”
She casually retrieved a document from a drawer and lightly pushed it toward Elijah.
Elijah opened the document and carefully read through its contents.
The content was utterly outrageous!
