Chapter 39
Elijah called the butler over and gave the order, “Starting today, Madam Freeman and Ms. Freeman are
grounded. No one is allowed to let them out without my permission. If anyone dares to disobey my
order, they’ll face the harshest punishment in the mansion.”
“What?”
Faye exploded, pointing at Elijah, and unleashing a torrent of curses, calling him ungrateful, heartless,
disrespectful, and so on.
Elijah allowed her to ramble on and left the room without saying a word. Then, he called Leon
over.
“Get the broken things replaced as soon as possible. Also, have someone keep a close eye on the
mansion. Monitor every call and report back to me promptly.”
“Yes, Mr. Freeman.” Leon hesitated, looking at him with a concerned look before adding, Isn’t this a bit
too harsh on Madam Freeman and Ms. Freeman? Sheena seems to have no mercy at all.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeon could not help but feel sympathy for Faye and Erin when he saw the miserable state they were in
as he arrived.
He could not understand why Elijah was so protective of Sheena. How could he tolerate her turning the
mansion into such a mess?
Out of the norm, Elijah did not shout at him to leave. Instead, he asked in a calm tone, “If someone
tried to harm you constantly and made you suffer all the time, would you forgive them?”
Leon replied firmly, “Of course not! I would find an opportunity to get back at them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he froze on the spot. 1
Elijah did not say another word and left without looking back.
After settling everything, Sheena felt refreshed.
Corey’s and Noah’s gifts had also arrived, and she could not wait to open them!
However, Sheena was taken aback when she discovered that Corey had given her a homemade model
airplane!
Did Corey forget that she was no longer a 15–year–old kid?
She was so excited to open the gift, only to be left disappointed!
Howard laughed, but when he saw her face turning red with anger, he coaxed, “Nana, this is a limited–
edition airplane personally made by Corey. It’s invaluable and unique. He put a lot of thought into it!”
Sheena rolled her eyes.
Thankfully, Noah’s gift was better, compensating for her anger toward Corey. It was a
beautiful emerald ring with a hidden mechanism that could shoot out a silver needle, which would
function as a weapon when needed.
Sheena put on the ring but left the small airplane in a corner of her room.
After that, she took a shower and went to sleep.
The next day, Sheena arrived at the office on time. As soon as she pushed open the office door, she

The woman turned around when she heard the door open and locked eyes with Sheena.
The woman had a small oval face and beautiful eyes filled with arrogance. The initial disdain in the
woman’s gaze turned into jealousy and hostility upon seeing Sheena.
It seemed this woman had a deep grudge against her.
Before Sheena could say anything, the woman said, “The receptionist, Julie, told me about you and I
didn’t believe her. However, now that I see you in person, you really do look like a seductress.”
Sheena was baffled by the woman’s sudden hostility. Nonetheless, she went to her desk and dismissed
the woman, “Miss, I need to work. Please leave.”
Ignoring Sheena, the woman warned, “You can continue working at Angle, but you must stay away
from Howard. If I find you seducing him or have any impure intentions, I’ll make you suffer.”
Sheena became interested and asked, “Howard? Do you like him?”
The woman arrogantly crossed her arms and snorted. “I’m his fiancee.”
Fiancee?
Sheena realized this was the woman who got engaged to Howard two years ago, the second daughter
of the Upton family, Katie Upton.
