Chapter 201
Sheena fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Okay, I got it.”
Sheena was surprised as Bethany had kicked the sly Wilfred out of Farlem, yet he was back so soon. As she contemplated the situation, she glanced at the man still cleaning the floor.
The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his white shirt paired with black trousers unexpectedly complemented each other. The once prestigious figure in Farlem was now her manservant, and Sheena thought he adapted too quickly, so quickly that she could not help but wonder if he had similar experiences before.
Perhaps he went through some form of inhuman training?
Despite doing a rather humbling task, he exuded an inherent nobility as if it were engraved in his bones.
Also, Sheena noticed that he had to kneel with his legs curled while cleaning due to his tall stature. After just doing chores for a while, she saw that Elijah was sweating again, and his lower lip was also bloodstained.
Was this position not only exhausting but also painful for him?
His waist…
Sheena approached Elijah and spoke casually, “Stop for now and continue later. Come with me to the company.”
After saying that, she turned and walked away. In doing so, she caught a glimpse of Elijah, seemingly relieved and sighing as if released from some burden. Rising, he quietly supported his right lower back and rubbed his knees.
Sheena said nothing and looked away. She led the way out while Elijah silently followed her to the car.
As they approached the CEO’s office at the Freeman Group, they noticed that the door was not fully closed, revealing a slight gap, and heard Wilfred’s shout.
“Call her and find out where she is! Tell her to hurry over to meet me! The Freeman family hasn’t gone extinct yet. When does a divorced woman get to boss us around…”
Standing at the door, Sheena asked Elijah, “Do you know what to do when we go
in?”
Elijah nodded and said, “Tell the truth.”
Satisfied with the response, Sheena pushed the door open and walked in, glancing at the person sitting on the sofa.
“Wilfred, it’s been a while. Your fiery temper hasn’t changed a bit. No wonder Old Man Freeman couldn’t trust the Freeman Group to you back then.”
The words struck a nerve, stabbing right into Wilfred’s heart. He had always been resentful because his dad had never held him in high regard, and he instantly went livid when Sheena brought it up.
“Is this how you speak to your elders?” Wilfred scolded.

Sheena calmly took a seat on the sofa opposite him, smirking. “I respect gentle and courteous elders, but are you one?”
“Sheena!” Wilfred glared at her.
Despite both sitting down, Sheena’s nonchalant demeanor seemed to deflate Wilfred’s imposing aura.
Before Wilfred could continue schooling her, he caught sight of a familiar figure standing beside her. On closer inspection, he realized that it was Elijah, who had been missing for weeks.
“Elijah, when did you return? Why did you allow this woman to snatch away control of the Freeman Group?”
Elijah stated indifferently, “Uncle Wilfred, I returned only yesterday afternoon, and by then, everything had already been settled.”
“Settled my foot!” Wilfred slammed the coffee table in frustration. “With the 40% stake Dad left you and your years of leadership at the Freeman Group, you wield considerable authority
among
the shareholders. How could you let this woman gain control over the company?”
Elijah explained, “Uncle Wilfred, aside from your 15%, she has acquired all other scattered company shares. With no other shareholders, she’s now the majority shareholder of the Freeman Group.”
“What?” Wilfred was skeptical.
This seemed to differ from Bethany’s account of the situation.
