I Became His Sweetheart

Jennifer agreed to Katie’s plan. She looked at her reflection in the mirror with a sinister glint in her eyes and a smug smile. “Excellent. | can’t wait to see that bitch suffer!”

In the CEO’s office of the Freeman Group, Elijah was engrossed in watching Sheena’s dance video on his phone.

“Mr. Freeman.”

Leon suddenly knocked on the door and entered.

Elijah put down his phone and calmly picked up his coffee, taking a sip.

“What is it?”

Leon stood before him and hesitated momentarily before reporting, “The Moore family indeed purchased the knockoff gown, but they also transferred four million dollars to Ms. Zoe to purchase the authentic gown. Somehow, the real gown ended up in Sheena’s possession instead. Maybe... there’s some misunderstanding in between.”

Elijah listened without saying a word.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Leon glanced at Elijah, unable to read his mind. Then, he continued, “Perhaps Ms. Moore might not be involved in this matter. She’s too innocent, and she must have been deceived. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered like this.”

“Innocent?”

Leon quickly responded, “Of course. Ms. Moore is truly a kind-hearted girl. Mr. Freeman, you’ve known her for so many years. and used to think the same, didn’t you?”

Elijah glanced at Leon coldly, causing him to lower his head hastily.

The office fell into an eerie silence, and the atmosphere became oddly tense.

Elijah stood up and walked to the window. It was drizzling outside. He lit a cigarette and took a drag. “Mr. Freeman?” Leon finally spoke up.

Elijah snapped out of his daze. He extinguished the cigarette, then sat on the couch with his long legs crossed, ordering, “I need you to investigate something in the past, and it must be discreet. You shouldn't inform anyone.”

“Yes, Mr. Freeman,” Leon responded.

The Moore family put in considerable effort and quickly controlled the online narrative. As the buzz subsided, there was little attention left. After all, they were not celebrities, and netizens treated it as a passing joke.

Sheena’s life seemed unusually peaceful.

Jennifer appeared to have backed down, and Katie reportedly returned to Svelton. With those two absent, Sheena’s talent show planning progressed rapidly, moving onto the phase where she was looking for a venue.

After work, Sheena drove to the training base she had prepared for the contestants. After

roughly setting up the next steps for improvements, she entered the car park and was ready to head home.

However, she heard a strange, muffled noise as she passed a corner without surveillance.

“Mmph... Mmph... H-Help me...

It was a girl's voice.
