Sarah stopped mid–sentence, feeling a bit concerned. Then, she continued, “However, getting shares
from Erin and Faye is difficult as they won’t give them up easily. Ms. Lawson, do you have a n for
the next steps?”
Sheena lowered her head in thought, smiling as she said, “There’s no rush. Someone’s more
desperate than us right now.”
Bethany was indeed desperate. She had just taken on many projects, received a heap of
prepayments, and was pushing thepletion of old projects to scrape together funds from material
costs. It was a struggle, but she managed to recover the losses from the contract with Sky Legion
Construction.
The next day, however, a construction site issue arose due to material quality problems, and the
buildings scheduled forpletion this month suddenly copsed, affecting adjacent
structures.
In other words, they would require demolition and reconstruction, needing even more significant funds
than the loss from the Sky Legion Construction contract.
During this time, Bethany discreetly pocketed money from small projects, but now, with holes
everywhere in thepany, she did not have enough cash to cover such a massive shortfall.
Moreover, Faye constantly inquired about updates, disying apleteck of trust in her.
Bethany sat in her office, overwhelmed with anxiety. As she was deep in her thoughts, the office phone
on her desk rang.
It was a direct call from Faye’s office.
She had to force a smile and answered, “Auntie Faye, how may I help you?”
Faye sounded a bit displeased on the other end. “Bethany, why didn’t youe in to report today? Did
something go wrong again?”
Bethany was caught off guard, quickly answering in a ttering tone, “No, Auntie Faye, I would have
communicated with you immediately if there were any issues. Due to the recent workload, I haven’t had
a chance to report to you yet. Give me a few more hours and I’lle in after I go through all the
projects.”
“Okay.”
Faye immediately hung up.
Bethany clenched her fists, feeling incredibly anxious, Faye imed to trust her the most. However, if
that were the case, she would not be questioning her daily. She knew it was just a ploy to manipte
her with incaningless words.
Bethany had enough, and her gaze gradually turned cunning as she quickly arranged for people to
modify the ident details in the project. Armed with the altoved dat

As soon as Bethany pushed the door open, she hurriedly rushed to Faye’s desk and eximed, “Auntie
Faye, something bad came up!”
“What happened?”
“Do you remember the old project in Delomora? Apparently, the buildings in the project copsed half a
month ago, and it was rather serious. However, the project manager kept it hidden, afraid of taking
responsibility. If I hadn’t investigated thoroughly today, this matter might still be under wraps!”
“What?!” Faye eximed, quickly flipping through the documents.
Bethany observed her reaction and continued, “The cost of this remedial project is enormous. With
other projects underway, we need substantial funding. If our funds can’t keep up, all projects will be
forced to halt, and thepany will be paralyzed!”
Faye slumped into her chair.
Oh no!
She was doomed!
The hard work of several generations of the Freeman family would not copse in her hands so soon,
right?
“If my husband and father–inw were still alive, they would be furious enough to strangle me!”
Trembling with fear, Faye instinctively reached for her phone and said, “No! We need to find Elijah
immediately to take charge!”
Bethany forcefully grabbed her hand. “Auntie Faye, aside from not knowing where Elijah is right now, it
might be toote by the time we find him. If we don’t fill this massive hole in time, the crisis for the
Freeman Group will only get more severe.”
“So… what do we do?”
Bethany slyly smirked and said, “I know another way!”Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
