Chapter 3
“Mr. Lawson said that you can choose not to go back now, but you must take over the management of the Angle Group, a
subsidiary of the Lawson Group in Farlem, and this year’s profit must be five percent higher than the previous year. Mr. Lawson
also said that you can refuse, but the Freeman Group might be in danger because of this.”
Sheena gritted her teeth in frustration.
Before Sebastian passed away, she promised to take care of the Freeman Group in his stead. There was no way she could let
anything happen to it.
Albert Lawson, Sheena’s father, had obviously discovered this weakness. Nevertheless, instead of using it to force her to go
home, he insisted on having her take over the Angle Group’s management.
Just what was he planning?
“Fine! I’ll do it!” Sheena signed the contract right away, accepting the exclusive black card with 4.5 billion dollars inside.
She shook her head, smiling wryly as she stared at the card.
Just a few minutes ago, she was so broke that she had only two dollars on her, not even enough to pay for a taxi.
Did she just become a billionaire overnight?
Due to her previous agreement with Albert, her bank account had been frozen, and she had to conceal her true identity.
Otherwise, it would be considered a breach of contract.
Normally, her materialistic mother–in–law and sister–in–law disliked her for her modest origins and preferred associating with
people of higher status, never paying her any attention.
They would surely be shocked if they found out that she was actually Sheena Lawson, the youngest daughter of the nation’s
wealthiest family, the Lawson family, and was also a billionaire.
She still remembered the time before she regained her memory. Her best friend’s life was in danger, and she had to kneel down
to beg her mother–in–law, Faye Freeman, for a loan.
Faye arrogantly took out a platinum card, but instead of handing it to her, she flaunted it and ridiculed Sheena, “Guess how much
money is in here? 150, 000 dollars! You’ve never seen this much money in your entire life, have you? Then again, I’d rather use
the money to buy dog food than lend you a single penny! Your poor friend is worth less than a pet dog!”
Sheena clenched her fist, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She would love to have a chance to put those two arrogant
women in their place and vent her anger! Just as she was thinking about it, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind.
Sheena turned around and saw that it was none other than Faye who grabbed her wrist.
Faye appeared displeased and disdainful. Behind her were a few wealthy ladies, all carrying shopping bags. It was obvious that
they had just finished their shopping spree.
Sheena calmly slipped the exclusive black card into her bag and asked coldly, “Yes?”
Chapter 3
Faye was taken aback by Sheena’s cold attitude. After all, Sheena used to be so timid in front of her.
“Who let you out? Have you finished your chores at home? Is lunch ready? I’ll skin you alive if my precious Elijah gets hungry
because of you! Oh my goodness, look at what you’re wearing! You’ve been married into the Freeman family for years, but you
can’t even dress properly! Stop embarrassing yourself and our family! Get lost!”
Sheena was furious.
“I’m embarrassing the family? After I married into the Freeman family, you fired the servants at home and forced me to quit my
job. I became a dutiful housewife and took care of Elijah, but you were never satisfied! You continued to make things difficult for
me, falsely accusing me of stealing your jewelry, and used that as an excuse to withhold the shares Grandpa gave me. You even
forced me to kneel in the rain. Did you forget about all that?”
The wealthy ladies behind Faye clicked their tongues disapprovingly. They knew Faye was harsh on her daughter–in–law, but
they did not expect her to be so heartless.
Noticing the situation between the two women growing more heated, the ladies excused themselves.
“What’s all this nonsense?”
Faye tried to interrupt Sheena several times, but Sheena did not give her the opportunity to speak.
Sheena retorted, “You know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m done tolerating your bullshit. If you provoke me again, I’ll make
sure you pay for what you’ve done in the past, with interest!
