Chapter 186


    However, it seemed to being from outside the door!


    Lorna also noticed it. Since the door was notpletely closed, she was about to open it fully, but someone had opened it from


    the outside.


    Bethany, impably dressed in a shy mini dress, was apanied by a man who looked like awyer. Seeing herposed


    demeanor, it was evident she came prepared.


    Lorna sensed the tension and quietly left the office.


    Faye was stunned, staring at Bethany wide-eyed.


    Amused by Faye’s expression, Bethany teased, “Auntie Faye, do you miss me that much?”


    Gritting her teeth, Faye, still holding onto a sliver of hope, questioned, “Bethany, why haven’t you made the payment for the


    Laxine project? What have you been up to these past few days?”


    Smirking, Bethany replied, “Auntie Faye, didn’t you just guess it? | haven’t spent a penny of the 1.2 billion dors. Instead, |


    quietly transferred them to my ount. By the way, more than half of thepany is now under my contro!


    “Bethany, how dare you!”


    Faye could not believe Bethany had the guts to pocket such arge sum!


    Furious, she slumped into the chair and asked, “Louie would never tolerate your shameless actions! Did you keep this from


    him?”


    Bethany chuckled. “Auntie Faye, did you forget that my dad has no say in my family? However, he’s quite supportive of this


    matter. Ever since marrying into the Freeman family, you’ve been acting all high and mighty whenever you''re back at your


    parents‘ house. Did you think he actually likes you?”


    Faye’s family background was not as affluent. She had entered the Freeman family as she dated her husband in college and her


    impressive academic achievements in finance. Her brother, Louie, however, was not as fortunate and had to marry into the


    Carver family due to financial constraints. Moreover, his children could not even have his family name, following his wife’s


    instead.


    Faye was infuriated and clutched her chest, struggling to ease the suffocating sensation.


    “How could you embezzle so much money from the Freeman Group? What exactly are you up to?” Faye demanded.


    Bethany smirked, gesturing for herwyer to step forward.


    Facing Faye’s skeptical gaze, thewyer ced a contract on the desk. Then, Faye examined it and eximed, “Bethany! You


    actually want to take over the Freeman Group!”


    “Why use such harsh terms?” Bethany chuckled, exining, “Auntie Faye, look closely I’m willing to buy the operating rights of


    the Freeman Group for 1.4 billion dors, since you don’t know how to manage it, | believe the Freeman Group will be better off


    in my hands.


    Chapter 186


    1.4 billion dors?!


    Faye gritted her teeth, realizing that the Carver family indeed supported this. After all, they added 200 million dors on top of the


    initial 1.2 billion dors for Bethany. Nheless, Faye was in disbelief! These were her own family members-her brother and


    her niece!


    Faye was too furious to speak. After calming down, she finally said through clenched teeth, Dream on! The Freeman Group has


    a shareholding structure! Elijah is the majority shareholder! You should consult him if you want to buy the Freeman Group!”


    “| sent people to find him, but he’s been missing for so long that he’s probably dead somewhere. | also got rid of the cunning


    Wilfred. So, you''re the only one left in the way of my n.”


    “Bethany!” Faye was angered and disappointed.


    She finally understood Bethany’s step-by-step n: first, lure her into selling shares and mortgaging her house to get a huge


    sum of money, then bring down the Freeman Group, and finally, transfer ownership to Bethany.


    Seeing Faye’s silence, Bethany grew impatient. “Auntie Faye, dragging this out won''t help. Why not just sign it? By merging the


    Freeman and Carver Group, its status will only be strengthened!”


    Faye felt utterly hopeless.


    Was the Freeman Group really going to be destroyed under her control?


    Biting her lip until it bled, her hand trembled as she reached for a pen.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice echoed from outside the door.


    “Ms. Carver, don’t get too excited just yet. If you want to buy the Freeman Group, you should ask me first!”


    Hearing the familiar voice, both Faye and Bethany were stunned!
