Chapter 181

Elijah’s emotions were a mess. He contemplated 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 me later, I’ll accept

it!”

Others sighed helplessly but said nothing.

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

even through the door.

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

down. We were definitely played 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 small company like them! How did you manage things?” Faye was

furious!

Even more infuriating was spending 750 million dollars 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 dollars went

down the drain, posing a potential liquidity issue if any other problems arose in the company’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 to compensate for this loss. Please trust me one more time. I might’ve made a

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

merits.”

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

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 replaced the glass 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 she lacked 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, contemplating 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 the largest 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 vigilant. 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 the largest shareholder in the Freeman Group.

However…
