    Elijah’s emotions were a mess. He contemted the situation and ordered decisively, “We must return


    to Farlem tomorrow!”


    Lionel remained silent. After many dilemmas, he took advantage of Elijah’s weakened state and swiftly


    struck the back of his head.


    With a muffled groan, Elijah fainted on the spot.


    The other subordinates were horrified when they saw what had just happened.

    “Lionel, do you have a death wish? Once Mr. Freeman wakes up, he won’t spare you!”


    Lionel appeared determined as he obediently knelt by Elijah’s feet.


    “If I didn’t do that, he’d surely crawl back even in this condition. You know how fearless he is! He’s


    severely injured and has a fever. I can’t let him risk his life. Even if he wants to kill meter, I’ll ept


    it!”


    Others sighed helplessly but said nothing.


    Two dayster, at the Freeman Group’s CEO’s office, the sound of things being thrown could be heard


    even through the door.


    Bethany nced at the shattered coffee cup on the floor and gently consoled Faye, “Auntie Faye, calm


    down. We were definitely yed by Serene Real Estate Limited. They prepaid such a high price for the


    goods reserved with Sky Legion Construction, so how could it be of poor quality?”


    “To think we couldn’t even handle a smallpany like them! How did you manage things?” Faye was


    furious!


    Even more infuriating was spending 750 million dors in cash for a pile of nearly unusable defective


    products. Moreover, the contract had been premeditated, with the goods‘ type obscurely filled in.


    Bethany checked it multiple times when signing yet failed to notice, leading to the impossibility of


    causing trouble for Sky Legion Construction with the contract


    now.


    As a result, the pile of defective products was now a worthless burden, and the 750 million dors went


    down the drain, posing a potential liquidity issue if any other problems arose in thepany’s other


    projects.


    Though not skilled in management, Faye was quick–witted when it came to losing money.


    Bethany knew she was in the wrong, and she could only apologize, “I’m sorry, Auntie Faye. I was


    careless. I’ll do my best topensate for this loss. Please trust me one more time. I might’ve made a


    mistake this time, but I’ve contributed a lot to thepany before. Auntie Faye, please think about my


    merits.”


    Bethany was right. Prior to this incident, she had efficiently handled all matters within thepany.


    Faye gradually cooled down, finally in a better mood.

    “Forget it. I don’t care what methods you use, just quickly recover this loss.”


    “Alright, Auntie Faye, you can trust me,” Bethany replied calmly.


    Exiting the office, she suddenly turned serious.


    Any method would do?


    If that was the case, she had no choice but to do it this way!


    Sheena sat in her car at Serene Real Estate Limited’s garage. She had recently reced the ss of


    her Passat at the dealership. It now not only provided privacy by blocking visibility in the car but also


    provided soundproofing to prevent eavesdropping.


    Sarah approached Sheena’s car, ensuring there were no onlookers before getting in.


    “Ms. Lawson, to cover the loss from the contract with Sky Legion Construction, Bethany took on many


    projects and received many prepayments.‘

    Sheena was shocked to hear that Bethany was taking on so many projects.


    Where did she get such courage?


    Even though Bethany studied abroad, it seemed shecked practical experience as she flustered when


    faced with just a bit of trouble. By robbing Peter to pay Paul, the loopholes would only grow.


    Sheena pursed her lips, contemting before asking, “During this period, I instructed you to acquire all


    the scattered shares of the Freeman Group at a high price. How’s that going?”


    “Ms. Lawson, take a look.” Sarah handed her the neatly organized documents. “To avoid suspicion,


    we’ve been acquiring about three shares at a time. Over these days, a total of 15% of the shares are


    now under your name.‘


    “I


    Sheena focused on examining the documents as Sarah continued, “Currently, Elijah holds 40 % of the


    controlling shares in the Freeman Group, making him thergest shareholder and the CEO. The


    remaining 45% includes the 15% held by Elijah’s uncle, Wilfred Freeman.”


    Sheena shook her head, frowning.


    “No, we can’t touch that 15%. Wilfred is cunning and very vignt. Try not to alert him.”


    “That leaves Erin with 10%, and Faye has 20% of the shares. If we can acquire their shares, your total


    stake will be 5% more than Elijah’s, making you thergest shareholder in the Freeman Group.


    However…
