    Elijah red 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 me 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.


    In the Freeman mansion, the lights were still on.


    “This is so infuriating!”


    nk!


    The loud sound echoed as Faye forcefully mmed 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 tofort 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, bing 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 contemtive 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 ce.


    Suddenly, Erin’s phone rang, and they exchanged nces 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 nning toe back to Farlem?”


    “Auntie Faye, I’ll arrive in Farlem this afternoon and definitelye 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 wee you back. Do you have any other


    ns? If not, you can stay at the Freeman mansion for a few days,” Faye suggested. “Well… I don’t


    have any ns for now, so I’ll do as you advise,” Bethany agreed readily. After hanging up the phone,


    Faye’s previously troubled expression vanishedpletely. 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.
