Chapter 268
The commotion alerted the butler outside, and he hurried in, dragging the tearful servant out.
With the room finally quiet, Bethany took out her phone and dialed a number. The Freeman Group had rebounded too quickly, and Sheena had moved against her swiftly. During this time, all of Carver Group’s ongoing businesses faced suppression, and the pre–collected projects were snatched by
either the Freeman Group or Serene Real Estate Limited.
This resulted in a significant drop in the Carver Group’s revenue.
Bethany was infuriated. She had spent a fortune investigating Sheena’s background, yet there had been no response.
Just as she was contemplating, the call connected.
“Ms. Carver, we’ve checked three times. She is indeed an orphan from the Farlem Orphanage, without parents or any other relatives.”
Bethany could not believe it. “What about before she was sent to the orphanage? What happened before that? How could she be Jean’s mentor if she never left the orphanage? How the hell are you handling this investigation?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Carver. We’ve done our best, and this is the result.”
Bethany angrily hung up the phone, grabbed a cup from the table, and threw it against the wall.
Who the hell was this bitch?
She had sent out so many people and still could not find out about her identity!
Bethany slumped in her chair, filled with anger and frustration. If she could not uncover Sheena’s identity, she would not know her secrets and could not continue the fight.
However, she could not just watch Sheena destroy the Carver Group!
Bethany was at a loss when the butler suddenly knocked on the door.
“Miss, there’s someone outside looking for you. He claims to be from Svelton’s Lawson family.”
She massaged her temples, feeling dizzy from the frustration. “The Lawson family? I don’t know them. I don’t want to see anyone.”
“Sure.” The butler bowed, about to leave.
“Wait!” Bethany called him back.
Why would someone from the Lawson family come to her?
After some consideration, Bethany decided to meet with that person.
“This room is too messy, and we can’t leave a bad impression on the distinguished guest. Take him to

the most secluded small meeting room,” she instructed.
After giving the orders, Bethany returned to her room, changed into an elegant outfit, and applied makeup before heading to the meeting room. She pushed open the door, and the man was already waiting inside.
He was a tall and sturdy man, appearing to be around 190 centimeters. He was rather handsome and was dressed in a black suit.
Noticing her entrance, the man smiled slightly and greeted her, “Hello, Ms. Carver.”
Bethany nodded in courtesy and curiously asked, “I wonder which member of the Lawson family you are?”
The man smiled and said, “You don’t need to know my identity. You just need to know that I’m here to help you.”
“Help me?” Bethany was puzzled. “Although my Carver family is far inferior to the Lawson family, we still have some standing in the Farlem elite circle. I don’t have much to worry about. What would I need help with?”
The man directly revealed, “Ms. Carver, there’s no need to pretend. My master knows you’ve been struggling with the Freeman Group and someone else lately. That’s why he specifically sent me to help you.”
Bethany found it hard to believe.
Howard was so nice to Sheena. Did someone from the Lawson family really want to make things
difficult for her?
“Your master?”
“Yes,” the man nodded and continued, “To show my sincerity, I brought you a gift, and I’m sure you’ll like it.”
He clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought in a large sack.
Bethany approached it suspiciously, opened it, and was instantly frightened, turning pale as she stumbled backward.
