Chapter 251
“H–How is this possible?” Leon stuttered when he saw the evidence in Logan’s hands.
It included the incident at the Moore mansion, where he encountered the killer disguised as a doctor. It turned out that Jennifer was truly behind it! She pretended to shelter him while secretly planning to eliminate him.
Leon burst into tears, knowing that the evidence meticulously compiled by Lionel and Logan could not be fake. Realizing this, he was crushed and felt suffocated.
Jennifer had deceived him for so long, and it hurt him deeply.
“I’m sorry. I let down Mr. Freeman and betrayed his trust. Whatever punishment he decides, I’ll accept it.”
Witnessing his heartbreaking tears, Lionel sighed. “Recount everything you did for Jennifer, and don’t miss a single detail.”
“Okay.”
As he spoke, Lionel listened, and Logan recorded every word on the laptop.
“That’s all. Since the hijacking incident, Sheena had me arrested.”
Logan handed the laptop to Lionel, who carefully reviewed the information. After closing it, Lionel gazed at Leon with a slightly complex expression.
“As former comrades, this is our last meeting. Is there anything else you want to say?”
Leon closed his eyes, feeling completely hopeless. “Nothing. It’s my own foolishness. Do what you need to do.”
Lionel chuckled. “Do you think Mr. Freeman wants to kill you? He prefers you to live and repent.”
Glancing at the time, Lionel instructed Logan, “Find two people to give him a hundred lashes and send him back. Inform the leaders of the two factions in prison that anyone who treats him well in the
future is at odds with Mr. Freeman.”
“Yes, Lionel.”
Lionel grabbed the laptop and left the small house without looking back.
Soon, the sound of whipping mixed with the painful cries of a man echoed in the small house.
The next day, Sheena finished breakfast and went to work.
Elijah, having cleaned the dishes, left the house shortly after her. Despite no longer holding the position of the Freeman Group’s leader, he still commanded respect from his years of authority. Moreover, coupled with the 40% ownership stake, he maintained significant influence in the
Freeman Group.

However, Elijah’s office was moved from the 28th floor to the 23rd floor, but he did not mind as these were mere titles for him. Nonetheless, if Sheena wanted it, he would spare no effort to help her.
Elijah’s indifference did not mean others felt the same.
At lunchtime, Nelson Lincoln and Eric Sandler knocked on his door, greeting him with a big smile, ” Good afternoon, Mr. Freeman.”
Elijah glanced at them, asking coldly, “What do you want?”
Nelson and Eric exchanged a look before saying, “We’re here today to discuss something with you, Mr. Freeman.”
Without lifting his head, Elijah replied, “For major matters, talk to Ms. Sheena. For minor matters, find Ms. Peterson.”
The two men stiffened, exchanging glances again.
Eric hurriedly spoke, “Since the change in ownership of the Freeman Group, Ms. Peterson has been suppressing those of us who have followed you for many years. Moreover, Ms. Sheena is unavailable, and we have no way to reason with her. Now that you’re back, what do you think about reclaiming the Freeman Group?”
Elijah stopped typing but remained silent.
Nelson seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, “Also, Ms. Sheena seems to have little
understanding of the real estate industry. Ms. Peterson is also clueless. The company can’t keep going on like this, right?”
His hands rested on the desk, lightly tapping rhythmically, and he appeared to be contemplating.
“What do you want? Spit it out,” said Elijah.
“If you intend to reclaim the Freeman Group, we’ll support you all the way! Not just us, but many senior employees are willing to follow your lead. Ms. Sheena has only 5% more shares than you, but you have been in control of the Freeman Group for a long time. If you confront her directly, your chances of winning are not low!”
Elijah remained silent for a while before stating, “Give me a list of all the supporters.”
Nelson and Eric were delighted. “So, you agree?”
Elijah stayed silent.
