Chapter 247
“You guys…”
Did they just sell him out?
Wilfred felt quite frustrated, but he was well aware that this matter had nothing to do with Annie and
Coco. Hence, he could understand their refusal to drink the drugs.
However, picking three bottles every day? What if he had terrible luck and chose three bottles of M-
drugs? Did he really want to risk his life? He was not young anymore!
What if he picked both M–drugs and a laxative? He might be tortured to death through both ends!
No, he could not accept this!
If he had to die, he would drag someone down with him!
Wilfred gritted his teeth and looked at Elijah. “You little brat, are you going against your own uncle? Did
you forget your mom is involved in this too? If I’m convicted, she should be too! If I have to endure this
torture, she won’t have it any better!”

favoritism. Besides, I’ve already taken the punishment for her that Sheena gave.”
That drug almost took him to death’s door, and Elijah figured he would never forget the unbearable
feeling in this lifetime.
This statement first expressed a sense of justice by punishing his own family, and later, he took the
blame for his mother, closing all the loopholes for Wilfred.
Wilfred was unwilling, but he looked at the four bodyguards Sheena brought with her. Each one of them
seemed tough to deal with. Even if he went by pure numbers, he did not have enough people on
his side.
Feeling helpless, Wilfred finally softened his tone. “Ms. Sheena, can you give me a discount? Think
about my age… How can I withstand such torment?”
Sheena smiled, her eyes sparkling. “Since you’ve spoken, we can naturally make a deal.”
Wilfred had not had a chance to feel relieved when he heard her continue, “But you have to exchange it
with your Freeman Group’s shares. 1% of the shares can spare you from drinking two bottles.”
In other words, handing over all his shares would exempt him from drinking any.
Annie and Coco both thought this was a good solution.
“Honey, now that the Freeman Group’s stock market has plummeted, the shares are almost worthless.
Why not use them to exchange with the drugs? It would be easier for you,” Annie suggested.

Wilfred rebuked her, saying, “You know nothing.”
It was obvious that Sheena came today for his shares! Those shares were his family’s source of
income and the last thing Sebastian had left for him. He could not easily hand them over to an
outsider.
“What do you think?” Sheena pursed her lips.

“No way! The shares are absolutely off the table, not in this lifetime nor the next!” Wilfred shouted.
He looked at the opened black and gold gift box on the table, took a deep breath, and picked up three
bottles. He cracked them open and consumed them directly, ignoring the taste.
After drinking, Wilfred immediately crouched on the ground, dry heaving. Annie and Coco hurried over
to support him, and his wrinkled face quickly turned pale.
“Quick! Call the doctor. It might be too late if I have a seizure!”
Having seen many things in their time, the bodyguards burst into laughter at his pathetic state.
When Elijah knew he was consuming the M–drug, he did not even blink. Despite sharing the Freeman
surname, the inherent pride could not be more different.
Sheena added, “From now on, John and Sawyer will watch you drink three bottles daily. Only when
you’ve finished them all will it count.”
After that, she left the Freeman residence without looking back, and Elijah immediately followed her.
With Wilfred’s matter dealt with, it was almost time to go to work.
