Chapter 267
“Yes, that’s correct,” Sheena replied calmly. Seeing Elijah’s strong reaction, she continued, “I
roughly calculated it, and it seems your debts are almost settled. Shouldn’t you be happy to terminate the agreement? You can continue being the young master of the Freeman family,”
Although she phrased it this way, she believed clearing his debt to her had always been his goal.
However…
“Before, you said that once the debt was repaid, we would go our separate ways, like strangers. Is that true?”
Sheena replied seriously, “Yes.”
“Then I won’t sign. You also mentioned one year counting as three, and it’s only been a little over two weeks. I haven’t fully repaid the debt yet!”
Frowning, Elijah returned the termination agreement to her, but Sheena did not take it.
Her expression turned cold again as she scolded, “Elijah, don’t be unreasonable. Sign it!”
Feeling bothered by her stern tone, Elijah moved toward her, holding her delicate wrist, and spoke with uncertainty. “Are you still angry at me for getting rid of Colin and pretending to be injured to deceive you? Sheena, I promise I won’t lie to you again. Besides, you already punished me last night, and I’ve been wrongly accused in Jennifer’s matter. Our faults should cancel each other out. Please don’t be mad…”

Sheena freed her hand from his grip. “I’m not angry. It’s because I’m rational that I believe it’s time to let go. We should lead peaceful lives separately. It’s better for both of us.”
Since she was not angry, did it mean he could no longer evoke any emotions from her?
Did this indicate that she no longer cared about him anymore, devoid of resentment and disgust?
Elijah felt quite frustrated. “You should still be angry because I won’t let you go. I won’t sign this termination agreement.”
“Elijah!” Sheena frowned, glaring at him. “I’m informing you, not asking for your opinion. Whether you want to or not, you’ll sign.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Elijah tore the paper into pieces right in front of her, scattering the shredded paper into the air like a flurry of white snow. Agreeing to sign the divorce papers had been the biggest regret of his life.
This time, he would not let himself regret it again!
He stubbornly locked eyes with her, purposely provoking her. “I tore it up. Are you mad? If you have the guts, let John and Sawyer come in and beat me up. Even if they beat me half to death, as long as I have a breath left, I won’t sign!”

Some bits of shredded paper fell onto Sheena’s head, triggering an inexplicable rage that shot straight to her forehead.
“Fine! Alright! Do you enjoy punishment?” Sheena ground her teeth, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to claw him directly. “You better pray your illness heals slowly while my temper cools quickly. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what John and the others might do to you!”
After saying this, she stood up, glanced at him disdainfully, and left the room.
Seeing that Sheena was genuinely angry, Elijah felt a bit uneasy. Getting beaten up would hurt, and he was not a masochist. However, signing the paper was absolutely out of the question!
At the Carver mansion, Bethany sat in the study, reviewing reports. A servant brought her coffee, and in her moment of anger, she flipped everything off the desk with a swift motion.
Startled by her sudden outburst, the servant’s hands trembled, and the coffee accidentally spilled on the floor, shattering the cup.
“Sorry, Ms. Carver! I didn’t mean to!”
Bethany glared at the servant for aggravating her already foul mood.
“You can’t even carry coffee properly. What use are you to me? Pack your stuff and disappear from my sight forever!”
The servant turned pale, pleading through tears. “Miss, I’m sorry! It was an honest mistake! Please don’t dismiss me. I need this job! I’m begging you!” “Get out!”
