I Became His Sweetheart

“Bethany? The Freeman family?” She mused to herself, smiling mockingly at how they were in a mad rush to make foolish decisions, obviously overestimating themselves.

As such, Sheena decided that she needed to expedite the process of bankrupting the Freeman family.

Sheena was always swift in her actions. The next day, she strengthened the workforce at the film studio, almost doubling the number of workers. She had Felix create a detailed schedule to manage the workers efficiently, and the construction progress noticeably sped up.

As Summer approached, the sun’s rays grew intense. Even so, Sheena still inspected the film studio’s progress as usual. “Hey, Nana.” A familiar husky voice sounded from behind Sheena. She turned around and exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Howard smiled, replying, “You haven’t been around the office much lately, so | figured you'd be here and stopped by to see you. How about grabbing a meal together?”

“Sure.”

Howard naturally reached out to help her remove the safety helmet, tenderly using a tissue to wipe the thin layer of sweat from her forehead before taking her hand and leading her away. Inside a high—end restaurant, Howard skillfully placed their orders.

“| heard that Hannah recently invested in a large-scale shopping mall for the Moore Group. It helped their company recover a good portion of the stock market losses due to Jennifer's incident.”

Jennifer’s verdict had been delivered. As Katie had managed to shift all the blame onto her, she was sentenced to ten years in prison. This time, Elijah was nowhere to be seen to support her. With the Moore family cutting ties as well, she was left helpless.

Hannah’s physical condition had improved significantly, though her nerves were damaged from the car accident, leaving her legs without sensation. Hence, she had to use a wheelchair. However, she was now able to support Kennedy in business matters.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Sheena had quite a good impression of Hannah, seeing her as a career—driven, strong woman. “The Moore family values this large shopping mall a lot. The grand opening ceremony is tomorrow, and it’s said to have invited all the prominent families and business elites from Farlem. Kennedy hopes you and | can also attend to support him. What do you think?”

As Howard spoke, he handed a gold—bordered invitation card to Sheena.

Opening the card, Sheena found it was actually an invitation in Hannah’s name. Since all the prestigious families were invited, the Freeman family would likely be there too.

“Let's go. 11 At the grand opening ceremony, there was still a sizable crowd of guests.

The Moore family suffered considerable losses because of Jennifer. Then again, no family within the elite circle was truly untarnished. As long as their power remained, business magnates and socialites from prestigious families would grace the event.

Sheena did not particularly enjoy such occasions, but she maintained her poise flawlessly. This time, she attended as Howard’s companion again.

Upon spotting her, Vanessa warmly welcomed her. She genuinely liked Sheera. Sheena also politely greeted Vanessa.

As they chatted, there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance.

The Freeman family’s car had pulled up, and three elegantly dressed women of varying ages stepped out. Sheena stood at a distance, staring at the unfamiliar face beside Faye.

“That’s the Carver family’s heir, Bethany. | heard she recently returned from abroad,” Vanessa explained as she noticed Sheena’s gaze.

Sheena remained silent. At the entrance, Faye’s appearance triggered whispers among the crowd. “Mr. Freeman isn’t here today? | heard something had happened to him. Is he... dead?”

“That’s crazy! How long can these women from the Freeman family hold up without support?”
