I Became His Sweetheart

hapter 245 Did they figure it out? Or did Faye betray him?

Wilfred staggered back a couple of steps. After steadying himself, he grinned, feigning ignorance.” Elijah, what do you mean? | don’t understand.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Elijah’s expression remained cold. He was not falling for Wilfred’s acts.

Seeing Elijah’s silence, Wilfred sneakily glanced at Sheena’s imposing bodyguards behind her. They all looked fierce, as if ready to fight someone.

Worried about his family’s safety, Wilfred signaled to Annie with his eyes. “Coco hasn't freshened up yet, right? Take her upstairs quickly. We can’t afford to lose our manners in front of guests.”

“Okay.” Annie understood, turning to guide her precious daughter. “Coco, let’s go.

Before they could go the stairs, Sheena’s four bodyguards swiftly blocked their way. Ford and Paul guarded the staircase while John and Sawyer stood firm at the entrance.

“W-What are you doing? You're being too ridiculous! This is my home!” Wilfred fumed, his face turning red. Coco, feeling a bit scared, sought refuge in Annie’s embrace.

“No one’s leaving if | don’t get a clear explanation regarding this matter today,” Sheena declared with a smile, delicately sipping her tea. Her demeanor remained calm and aloof, leaving Wilfred’s family bewildered

Wilfred sighed, his expression slightly complex. He began, “The truth is, things didn’t happen like Elijah said. When | learned that Faye and Erin were working as servants at the Freeman Mansion, | visited them. | had no idea where Faye got those two packets of drugs. She told me about her plan and asked for my help, but | disagreed. | even tried to advise her against it.”

He suddenly paused mid-sentence as if realizing something, asking, “Judging by the situation, did she really succeed?”

“Did anything happen? Are you alright? | heard that medicine is quite potent. It’s all my fault. | should’ve talked to her again,” Wilfred sighed, expressing regret.

With these words, he not only cleared himself of any involvement in the matter but also presented himself as a concerned elder. Sheena frowned slightly. “In the future, please address me as Ms. Sheena according to the company hierarchy.”

After stating this, she glanced at Elijah standing beside her and mocked, “He claims Faye planned this, while Faye says he instigated it. Whom do you think | should believe?”

Elijah stared sternly at Wilfred, a cold smirk on his face. “Uncle Wilfred, blaming everything on a 212

woman when things go wrong is not very manly,”

This statement was a certainty.

Wilfred’s face immediately flushed from embarrassment. “You're just Ms. Sheena’s servant now. As a servant, you have no right to interrupt when the master is talking. Step aside.”

The speed of this change in attitude was truly slick.

Sheena despised sly folks who spoke differently depending on the situation. Uninterested in hearing more nonsense, she raised her hand, and Ford placed an exquisitely crafted black and gold square box on the coffee table.

“What's this?” Wilfred looked confused.

Sheena smiled and said, “This is a small gift | brought for the Freeman residence today, Mr. Wilfred, why don’t you open it and take a look?”

Though Wilfred did not respond, he sensed a hint of mischief in her smile.

Annie, however, greeted her warmly. “Ms. Sheena, it’s wonderful that you’ve come and brought a gift too. How courteous of you.”

Approaching the table, she noticed the beautifully crafted black and gold box. With curiosity in her heart, she opened it, only to find herself puzzled. Inside were thirty small bottles, each about half the size of a fist, neatly arranged.

Choosing one at random and uncapping it, she discovered it contained clear liquid with a strange odor.
