balance of discipline and reward was the most effective approach.
Chapter 404
Two months later, Erin’s progress in learning was not rapid, but it was sincere. Sheena reviewed her
proposal, finding almost no errors, which pleased her.
“Very good. Next time, I’ll assign you a project to work on independently.”
Erin nodded. “Alright, I’ll do my best, but.
She hesitated.
“But what?”
“Can I apply not to work overtime tonight? I have plans to go out for dinner…” Her voice grew softer as
she continued, her cheeks slightly reddening.
“Oh, a date?” Sheena noticed Erin’s unusually refined appearance today, and at knowing smile crossed
her face. “Is it a guy?”
Blushing, Erin bit her lip and nodded.
“What’s he like? His background? And you remember my conditions, right?”
“Don’t worry, he’s from an ordinary family, but he’s been really good to me during this time, helping me
a lot at work. And… he’s quite handsome. But, you know, we’ve just started dating, so it’s not that

Feeling embarrassed, Erin added, “Anyway, I have to get back to my desk.”
Sheena chuckled softly, acknowledging Erin’s departure.
If the guy could help Erin at work, it seemed he was an employee of the Freeman Group.
Sheena called Sarah and privately had her investigate. To her surprise, the person was Julius Mason,
an employee of the planning department, just like Erin.
Sheena was astonished because both Julius and Sarah were people she had brought in from Dark
Bell, specifically planted in the Freeman Group to work for her. Thus, in terms of character, she trusted
him completely.
The next workday, Sheena quietly called Julius into her office.
“Did your date go well last night?”
Julius, looking a bit sheepish, rubbed the back of his head. “Miss, you already know?”
“Do you genuinely like Erin?”
Julius nodded earnestly. “I heard about the conflicts between her and you before.
Initially, when she entered the Freeman Group, I intended to help you keep her in check. However, as
we spent time together, I realized she’s just a bit stubborn, probably spoiled by her family. Sometimes,
she’s quite adorable. I genuinely like
her.”
“Alright, you can go back to work.”
Sheena refrained from intervening too much in Erin’s love life, but their relationship remained stable.
Three months later, Erin and Julius celebrated a grand wedding ceremony at the Isley Church in
Farlem. On the same day, Sheena transferred 40% of her shares in the Freeman Group to Erin.
Before the ceremony, business partners and high–profile CEOs gathered on the lawn near the towering
cake table, sipping champagne and engaging in casual
conversations.
Sheena, who usually disliked such occasions, sat at a quiet table with Skye, savoring champagne.
The Moore family was also among the guests, and when Vanessa and Kennedy arrived, they sought
out Sheena for a chat. Having not seen them for a while, Sheena keenly noticed that Hannah was not
present this time.
With a helpless smile, Vanessa explained, “That child is quite stubborn in matters of the heart. No
matter how Kennedy and I advise her, she doesn’t listen. As soon as her leg healed, she ran off to
Luivine.”

Sheena smiled without commenting.
It seemed that Hannah truly wanted to become her sister–in–law. Noah had encountered a formidable
opponent this time, but it depended on whether Hannah could win over her brother.
Vanessa exchanged glances with Kennedy, who made an excuse and joined Skye in socializing
nearby.
Once Skye left, Vanessa approached Sheena and whispered very softly, “I heard you gave Erin 40% of
the shares. Considering how her family treated you before, aren’t you afraid she’ll secure her position
and then turn against you?”
Sheena casually smiled, “Afraid of what? If I can give it, I can take it back anytime.”
Besides, with Sarah and Julius keeping an eye on things, even if Erin and Faye were acting in front of
her, they could not outsmart her.
Knowing about Elijah’s passing, Vanessa expressed a gentle regret and then inquired, “I see you’ve
given away the Freeman Group. It seems Angle’s side is also undergoing a transition. Are you planning
to be a laid–back boss, collecting money, and enjoying life at home?”
Sheena shook her head lightly. “Once I wrap up things here, I plan to leave Farlem.”
“Leave? Where are you going?” Vanessa asked, surprised.
Sheena met her gaze.
