Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Elijah glared at him. “We’ll return when we find her.”

The man wisely stayed quiet while another brazenly asked, “It’s been several days since Ms. Sheena parachuted. This vast mountainous area is full of wild wolves and boars. What if she…”

what ifs. Even if only her bones remain, I’ll bring her back. If anyone dares ask such questions again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Elijah spoke calmly, but his tone was cold and harsh.

The others were frightened into silence and retreated to rest.

As everyone gradually fell asleep, Elijah remained awake, looking out the window with an unreadable expression. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In the Freeman mansion, the lights were still on.

“This is so infuriating!”

Clank!

The loud sound echoed as Faye forcefully slammed her cup onto the ground, shattering the crystal teacup.

“Jennifer dared to hold a press conference in the name of Elijah’s fiancee, tarnishing the reputation of the Freeman family! Even the Moore family has severed ties with her, so why are we keeping her around? Tomorrow, we’ll announce that Elijah’s engagement with her is canceled!” Faye said angrily, sitting on the sofa.

She soon added, “Not only that, but the Moore family is also shameless! Vanessa even had the nerve to suggest I switch the engagement to Hannah!”

Seeing Faye’s frustration, Erin hurried over to comfort her and offer some suggestions. “Jennifer is such a good actress! I’d never expected her to stoop so low! She was even being publicly humiliated in front of the media… How embarrassing! Canceling the engagement is definitely the right move! But… Is it really okay to do this behind Eli’s back?”

“What could go wrong?” Faye frowned, becoming angrier than before. “I’m his mom! Besides, do you really think Eli would keep Jennifer around after what she had done?”

“But Eli isn’t here. The Freeman family needs Eli to hold down the fort, right?” Erin sighed, taking a seat next to her.

“That’s actually a problem…” Faye fell into contemplative silence.

“However, since Eli isn’t here, it’s the best time to teach that bitch a lesson!” Erin was eager to take action and show Sheena her place.

Suddenly, Erin’s phone rang, and they exchanged glances before she answered the call.

“Hello, Erin, long time no see! How are you and Auntie

and Auntie Faye doing?” The cheerful voice of a woman on the other end filled her ears.

“B–Beth?” Erin was shocked. “You’re back in the country?”

Erin immediately handed the phone to Faye and gave her a meaningful look, suggesting they should converse directly.

The Carver family was a powerful extension of the Freeman family, and Bethany Carver was the heir to the Carver family. She had been studying abroad in France and was known for her business insight.

Understanding Erin’s intent, Faye engaged in small talk with Bethany.

“Beth, when did you return to the country? Are you planning to come back to Farlem?”

“Auntie Faye, I’ll arrive in Farlem this afternoon and definitely come visit soon. It’s been so long, and I’ve missed you a lot.”

“How about letting Erin and I pick you up? It’ll be a way to welcome you back. Do you have any other plans? If not, you can stay at the Freeman mansion for a few days,” Faye suggested. “Well… I don’t have any plans for now, so I’ll do as you advise,” Bethany agreed readily. After hanging up the phone, Faye’s previously troubled expression vanished completely. Erin, who had been listening attentively, also felt triumphant.

“Mom, this is great! Beth is back. If she’s willing to help us, I don’t believe Sheena can stand a chance against us! Howard can’t keep protecting her every time!”

Faye did not say anything further, but the expression on her face revealed her true feelings.
