Chapter 246
“W–What is this stuff?”
Ford replied, “Ms. Sheena carefully prepared this for the Freeman residence. You three are supposed to drink one bottle every day.”
Wilfred could not comprehend what game Sheena was playing and approached to sniff the bottle, and his face changed drastically as he hastily put the bottle Annie held back into the box.
“Are these all M–drugs?”
Sheena rested her chin on her hand, smiling brightly. “Not all of them. Aside from poison, there are laxatives, itching drugs, and so on. Five out of the thirty bottles are sugar syrup. The chances of getting syrup are much higher than winning the lottery, don’t you think?”
“Y–You…”
The couple was shocked by her words, unable to find the words to respond to her.
Coco, understanding the situation, panicked. “Dad, I don’t want to drink any of them! I don’t want to drink this kind of thing!”
The family huddled together, trembling.
“You’ve gone too far! Even if you don’t consider our past relations, this has nothing to do with me. I….

Sheena raised her trand to cut Wilfred off. “You know the truth, and so do I. Besides, this is not solely because of this incident.”
Wilfred was puzzled. “How have I offended you before?”
“In the past, you helped Faye plot against me in front of Old Man Freeman. I haven’t forgotten, and I’m sure you haven’t either. Add to that the slap you gave Elijah before and this M–drug incident. That’s three offenses in total.”
Elijah, standing nearby, keenly caught that middle sentence and suddenly felt moved.
Since she remembered Wilfred hitting him and wanting to seek justice for him, did it mean she still cared for him?
Wilfred also noticed that middle accusation. “Elijah is a part of my Freeman family. As an elder, what’s wrong with slapping him? Including this in the charges is too much!”
Sheena retorted, “He’s my servant, and only my people can deal with him. The Freeman family has no say in it!”
Elijah’s happiness faded instantly when Sheena mentioned ‘only my people‘, not just her. After all, it would mean that Howard also fell into that category.

Wilfred was speechless. However, being made to pick and drink a bottle of drugs every day felt like a fate worse than death.
“Anyway, I have no intention of admitting a single word of what you said, and I definitely won’t drink it!” Wilfred declared.
Sheena chuckled. “I didn’t come here today to negotiate with you.”
She finished speaking and glanced at Ford.
Ford immediately placed a stack of copies before the three, saying, “Take a good look. Here is Madam Freeman’s confession, evidence of your involvement in purchasing M–drugs from the black market, and a timeline of the entire incident. Do you want to take a trip to the police, get convicted, or accept Ms. Sheena’s gift?”
The faces of the three changed drastically.
Wilfred was so shocked that he could not even speak. He was in disbelief at how Sheena uncovered the truth in such a short time. Moreover, he had paid hush money to the black market!
Annie said urgently, “Honey, you can’t go to jail! You’re the backbone of our family. If you fall, what will Coco and I do?”
Coco echoed, “You can’t go to jail! Dad, if you have a criminal record, how can I face my high–society friends? No heir to a wealthy family would want to marry me. I won’t be able to get married!”
Wilfred was torn on both sides, looking at his wife and daughter with reddened eyes. “But seeing you endure that torturous stuff every day is also unbearable for me!”
Annie and Coco exchanged glances.
“Why should we drink it? You caused this mess. Can’t you just pick three bottles at once?”
Wilfred was taken aback.
