Elijah’s face darkened completely, looking at Erin with disappointment and fury.
“You’re being absolutely unreasonable.”
He forcefully pulled Erin’s hand off his sleeve and ordered, “You’re grounded, and you’re not allowed to
go anywhere without my permission. I hope you’ll reflect on what you’ve done!” With that, he took
Jennifer’s hand and left.
Erin wanted to catch up with them, but Leon held her back, and she could only plead in despair. In the
end, she was forcibly dragged back to the Freeman family mansion.
Fuming with anger, Erin started smashing things in her room. The noise echoed through the entire
house.
Faye was awakened by the intense noise and rushed over to check on her.
“Erin, what’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to be at the banquet? What happened?” “Mom!” Erin
cried as she recounted the events at the party with exaggerations. “Mom, you have to help me! Elijah is
biased! Not only did he not do anything to that bitch, but he also grounded me! You have to help me get This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
justice!”
Faye comforted her and gently patted her back.
“What do you want me to do?”
Erin’s eyes filled with malice as she said, “I want her dead!”
Meanwhile, Sheena had yet to find a place to stay, so she stayed at Howard’s mansion temporarily.
Auntie Gloria, their servant, was thrilled to see Sheena, exclaiming that the young lady was all grown
up. She hurried over to help Sheena with the luggage and prepare her bedroom.
Sheena wanted to help, but Howard pulled her aside for a chat.
“Nana, you’ll be joining the company tomorrow. Do you have any plans?”
“Let’s just follow what we’ve agreed on earlier. You’ll act as the CEO, and I’ll learn how to handle the
company’s affairs from you.”
Howard pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright… Since you don’t want others to know about our
relationship, I won’t be sending you to the company. I’ve arranged a limited–edition Maserati MC77 for
you. It’s a style you’ll like.”
“The MC77 is too expensive,” Sheena protested, shaking her head. “A cheaper car is enough for daily
commutes. If you really want to get me a car, then a Volkswagen Santana will do.”
Howard frowned. “That’s too unfair to you.”
Sheena smiled, her eyes shining with mischief, and she wrapped her arm around his, acting
coquettishly.
“Not at all, Howard. I don’t plan to reveal my true identity for now.

The person that hurt her was from the Lawson family. Since she had lost her memory and
ended up in Farlem, there had been no sign of them. They probably had no idea that Sheena had been
with the Freeman family over the years, and it was too dangerous to reveal her identity before she
found out who the culprit was.
Howard, being a smart man, could understand her concerns.
“The security here is excellent. You can stay here in peace. No one will disturb you,” he assured her.
Then, he remembered something and added, “By the way, Corey has been flying abroad frequently
lately, and Noah is busy with a rare medical case at the hospital. They heard about your divorce and
were happy for you, so they got you some gifts, which should be arriving in a few days.”
Sheena pouted, “What kind of brothers celebrate their little sister’s divorce? You guys are the only ones
like this!”
Although she said that, she was curious. Corey, the eldest among them, was a senior pilot and owned
businesses all over the world, while Noah, her second brother, was a well–known
surgeon.
Whatever gifts they prepared for her, they must have been extraordinary.
Howard chuckled and playfully touched her nose before going upstairs to shower.
At midnight, Elijah dropped Jennifer off at the hotel before returning to the mansion.
Upon opening the door, the living room felt dark and empty without the familiar figure waiting for him
every day, making it eerily lonely.
His feelings were complicated, and he could not put them into words.
Switching on the lights, he sat on the couch and lit a cigarette while listening to Leon’s report.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Freeman. I couldn’t find Ms. Sheena’s whereabouts. After she left the hotel, it was as if
she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Her phone and accounts are experiencing signal
interference. We tried various methods, but we couldn’t locate her.”
Elijah took a drag from his cigarette, his expression gloomy.
Disappeared from the face of the earth?
His subordinates were elite hackers, yet they could not trace her location. Was someone helping her?
