“Faye, what do you mean?” Wilfred’s face stiffened.
“I brought Mr. Winter with me. Elijah made a will before he left, and since everyone’s here today, it’s a good tto read it formally,” Faye explained.
The lawyer, Axel Winter, placed a sealed parchment bag on Sheena’s clean and tidy desk.
Sheena glanced at it.
Elijah had made a will?
“Since it’s a will, and I’m no longer part of the Freeman family, sitting here as an onlooker seems unnecessary. You can continue,” Sheena said, moving to stand
1. up.
Faye stopped her, saying, “Stay. You are mentioned in Elijah’s will, so you need to be present.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheena was stunned.
He had mentioned her in the will?
She steadied her emotions and sat back down.
Once Sheena settled, Faye signaled to Axel. “Go ahead.”
Axel nodded. Under the gaze of the three, he opened the parchment bag and retrieved the will.
“I, Elijah Freeman, hereby declare this will to address the distribution of my personal property after my death.”
Just hearing the beginning made Sheena’s heart ache, and her eyes reddened. She clenched her hands tightly, listening quietly.
Faye, too, had tears in her eyes, while Wilfred also showed a sorrowful expression.
In the extremely heavy atmosphere, Axel continued, “I hereby allocate the following properties, including main residences and shares, to the respective individuals: Awana Heights on Cloudtopia. Street, Clear View Courtyard in Crane District, Golden Bay Apartment on Aquajoy Road, and seven other properties, all to be inherited by my ex–wife, Ms. Sheena. In addition, the 45% of the shares in the Freeman Group I held go to my ex–wife, Ms. Sheena.”
As Axel finished reading, Faye wiped away tears with a tissue.
Sheena felt a heart–wrenching pain. Elijah had given her all his property.

Was this his way of saying she was the only attachment he had in this life?
Did he not care about Faye and Erin’s life and death?
However, Wilfred’s anger erupted on the spot. “What? I disagree!”
His face grim, and he protested loudly, “Giving all the properties to the ex–wife is fine, but how can he casually give 45% of the Freeman Group’s shares to an outsider? The Freeman Group was my dad’s lifelong effort. This is unfilial! He doesn’t even respect his own grandfather!”
If 45% of the shares were truly given to Sheena, she would hold 85% of the major shares, making it challenging for him to sabotage her.
Sheena kept her head lowered, neither refuting nor speaking. She was never adept at the real estate industry. In the past few days, she had already been mentally exhausted from shuttling between the Freeman Group and Angle Group.
Just when she was contemplating handing over the Freeman Group, Elijah posed a significant challenge by burdening her with the entire responsibility of the Freeman Group.
Amid Wilfred’s questioning, Faye wiped away her tears and spoke with a heavy heart, “Making a will is Elijah’s right to make independent decisions. Since Elijah has decided this way, as a mother, I respect his choice.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Faye, are you out of your mind? Shares are no trivial matter!” Wilfred was infuriated.
Yet, with an indifferent attitude, Faye said, “Wilfred, don’t bother arguing. If it’s not yours, no matter how much you fight, you won’t get it.”
Wilfred was fuming. “What a useless bunch! Let’s see how you’ll explain to my dad and brother in the afterlife!”
With a disdainful snort, Wilfred angrily left.
Faye let him curse at her without showing any anger.
Sheena looked at her in surprise. Since Elijah’s funeral, Faye had transformed. Not only did she frequently speak up for Sheena, but she also handled situations more calmly than before.
“If you hide Elijah’s will and don’t read it, his shares would be yours. It’s 45% of the shares. Aren’t you’tempted even a little?” Sheena asked, intrigued.
Faye smiled faintly. “I simply don’t have that capability. The Freeman Group is better off in your hands.”
Chapter 398
Sheena narrowed her eyes, silently observing Faye. “Madam Freeman, you’ve
changed a lot all of a sudden. You never used to speak toso calmly. Did Elijah
tell you something through that letter at the funeral?”
