    “You were arrogant and offended your own family. This time, the Carver Group''s conspiracy failed, and you must be holding a


    grudge. If you go to your brother Louie, don’t you think he’ll turn against you, making your situation even more difficult than it is


    now?”


    Realizing Sheena was right, Faye stayed silent.


    “I''m your only choice left,” Sheena continued with a smile. “I can let you and Erin stay in the Freeman mansion as servants,


    taking care of your food and shelter. | can even offer you a decent sry. Once you''ve saved up enough money, you can


    approach me to buy back the mansion. Whether you want to live in a mansion or in the streets, that’s your choice.”


    Faye clenched her fists so tightly that her entire arm trembled. Elijah was missing. Meanwhile, she and Erin were broke.


    Considering Erin’s reaction, Faye thought choosing between living in a mansion with the risk of being dominated by the servants


    or living on the streets was an agonizing decision...


    Sheena remained patient, allowing Faye the time to contemte her decision.


    “Fine, | agree,” Faye said, defeated.


    Upon receiving the response, Sheena smiled, her eyes twinkling. Then, she turned to Heidi, the highest-ranking servant, and


    ordered, “From now onward, you''ll be in charge of this mansion. Remember, Faye and Erin are no longer the owners. You don’t


    need to fear them like before.”


    Heidi was pleasantly surprised, replying, “Yes, Ms. Sheena. You''re the only owner of this ce!


    Satisfied, Sheena nodded. Just as she left, she received a message.


    Agleam appeared in her eyes as she read it.


    Once she was gone, the servants red at Faye with burning resentment.


    Intimidated by their hostility, Faye nervously exined, “Don’t believe everything she says. Thend beneath your feet will


    always belong to my Freeman family. It won’t be long before | reim it!”


    Her words might have carried some weight in the past, but the servants had grown tired of her. Now, facing this opportunity to


    retaliate, they would not let it slip away.


    Heidi sneered, “Let’s talk again when you finally reim it. For now, you have to listen to us!”


    The group surrounded Faye, ready to drag her away.


    “What are you doing? Are you rebelling?” Faye eximed in fear, struggling desperately.


    Heidi exined, “Sorry, Madam. Only the owner is qualified to stay in the bedroom. Your current status is that of a lowly servant,


    only fit for sleeping in the basement.”Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    The basement was dirty, messy, and cold,cking air conditioning or heating, without even a bed to sleep on.

    Faye resisted and shouted, “No! Let me go!”


    Unfortunately, Faye was no match for the experienced old servants ustomed to physicalbor. She was forcibly dragged to


    the basement. Heidi even warned her that if she did not behave, they would lock her up and not provide any meals until she


    learned her lesson.


    The group of servants took pleasure in listening to Faye banging on the basement door, shouting continuously.


    Someone remembered Erin and eximed, “Erin is still sleeping on the second floor. Let''s go wake her up! She used to enjoy


    scolding us. Now, it’s time for her to have a taste of her own \\medicine!”


    “Good! Let''s get Erin and teach her a lesson!”


    The group cheered, moving to their next target eagerly.


    In the afternoon, Elijah, nursing his still-unhealed injury, finally escaped the pursuit of those people and sessfully reached


    Farlem. Days of constant searching, hiding, rain—soaking, and injuries had left his face terribly pale.


    Upon returning to Farlem, the first thing he did was take a hot shower at his residence, change into a clean suit, and regain his


    peerless demeanor.


    As he had no signal in the mountains and wanted to conserve battery, Elijah had kept his phone turned off. When he powered it


    back on, he noticed that he had missed countless calls from Jonah.


    Elijah returned the call, and Jonah answered almost instantly, sounding extremely anxious.


    “Elijah, you finally answered! If you hadn’t returned to Farlem, | would''ve thought you were dead!”


    Elijah frowned, asking, “What’s the matter?”


    “You need to get to the Freeman Group quickly! Something big has happened!”
