However, it seemed to be coming from outside the door!
Lorna also noticed it. Since the door was not completely closed, she was about to open it fully, but
someone had opened it from the outside.
Bethany, impeccably dressed in a flashy mini dress, was accompanied by a man who looked like a
lawyer. Seeing her composed demeanor, it was evident she came prepared.
Lorna sensed the tension and quietly left the office.
Faye was stunned, staring at Bethany wide–eyed.
Amused by Faye’s expression, Bethany teased, “Auntie Faye, do you miss me that much?”
Gritting her teeth, Faye, still holding onto a sliver of hope, questioned, “Bethany, why haven’t you made
the payment for the Laxine project? What have you been up to these past few days?”
Smirking, Bethany replied, “Auntie Faye, didn’t you just guess it? I haven’t spent a penny of the 1.2
billion dollars. Instead, I quietly transferred them to my account. By the way, more than half of the
company is now under my control.”

Faye could not believe Bethany had the guts to pocket such a large sum!
Furious, she slumped into the chair and asked, “Louie would never tolerate your shameless actions!
Did you keep this from him?”
Bethany chuckled. “Auntie Faye, did you forget that my dad has no say in my family? However, he’s
quite supportive of this matter. Ever since marrying into the Freeman family, you’ve been acting all high
and mighty whenever you’re back at your parents‘ house. Did you think he actually likes you?”
Faye’s family background was not as affluent. She had entered the Freeman family as she dated her
husband in college and her impressive academic achievements in finance. Her brother, Louie,
however, was not as fortunate and had to marry into the Carver family due to financial constraints.
Moreover, his children could not even have his family name, following his wife’s instead.
Faye was infuriated and clutched her chest, struggling to ease the suffocating sensation.
“How could you embezzle so much money from the Freeman Group? What exactly are you up to?”
Faye demanded.
Bethany smirked, gesturing for her lawyer to step forward.
Facing Faye’s skeptical gaze, the lawyer placed a contract on the desk. Then, Faye examined it and
exclaimed, “Bethany! You actually want to take over the Freeman Group!”
“Why use such harsh terms?” Bethany chuckled, explaining, “Auntie Faye, look closely I’m willing to
buy the operating rights of the Freeman Group for 1.4 billion dollars, since you don’t know how to
manage it, I believe the Freeman Group will be better off in my hands.

1.4 billion dollars?!
Faye gritted her teeth, realizing that the Carver family indeed supported this. After all, they added 200
million dollars on top of the initial 1.2 billion dollars for Bethany. Nonetheless, Faye was in disbelief!
These were her own family members–her brother and her niece!
Faye was too furious to speak. After calming down, she finally said through clenched teeth, Dream on!

“I sent people to find him, but he’s been missing for so long that he’s probably dead somewhere. I also
got rid of the cunning Wilfred. So, you’re the only one left in the way of my plan.”
“Bethany!” Faye was angered and disappointed.
She finally understood Bethany’s step–by–step plan: first, lure her into selling shares and mortgaging
her house to get a huge sum of money, then bring down the Freeman Group, and finally, transfer
ownership to Bethany.
Seeing Faye’s silence, Bethany grew impatient. “Auntie Faye, dragging this out won’t help. Why not
just sign it? By merging the Freeman and Carver Group, its status will only be strengthened!”
Faye felt utterly hopeless.
Was the Freeman Group really going to be destroyed under her control?
Biting her lip until it bled, her hand trembled as she reached for a pen.
Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice echoed from outside the door.
“Ms. Carver, don’t get too excited just yet. If you want to buy the Freeman Group, you should ask me
first!”
Hearing the familiar voice, both Faye and Bethany were stunned!
