Claim
In the garden, Sheena stood by the fountain, breathing in the fresh air. She needed a break from the Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
nauseating atmosphere in the banquet hall.
“Hey, Sheena!”
Sheena turned around to see Erin walking toward her with an air of arrogance.
“What is it? Didn’t I hit you hard enough earlier? Do you want me to teach you another lesson?
“Sheena’s voice turned icy.
Erin was fuming with anger. She wanted nothing more than to rush up and scratch that vixen’s face.
However, remembering her plan, she restrained herself and clenched her fists tightly.
Erin pulled out a card from her Louis Vuitton bag and offered it to Sheena with a condescending tone.
“Here’s 50,000 dollars. Just promise me you’ll stay away from Eli. If you get the hell out of Farlem, the
money is all yours.”
Sheena frowned, looking strangely at the card in Erin’s hand.
Just a mere 50,000 dollars?
A single strand of her hair was worth more than that!
Did Erin really think she could buy her off with such a pitiful sum?
Erin thought Sheena was tempted and continued smugly, “You grew up in an orphanage, and I guess
you’ve never seen this much money before. But for me, this is just a week’s worth of pocket money. I
think you need it more than I do. I remember you used to borrow money from Mom, but she never lent
it to you. Well, you’re in luck. With this money, you can buy anything you want. So, what do you say?
Do you want it?”
Erin’s excitement shone through as she secretly thought, ‘Take the money! Take it now!‘
Erin was confident. She knew that during Sheena’s time in the Freeman family, Faye would always
withhold all of Sheena’s pocket money, leaving her with no money to even get a decent branded outfit.
Therefore, Erin was convinced that Sheena, being so poor, could not possibly refuse her offer.
Once Sheena accepted the money, Erin would then claim that her money had been stolen. She would
pretend to catch the thief and then call the police to arrest Sheena.
With some bribes to the staff, she would have them beat Sheena up, framing her for theft.
That way, Sheena’s life would be ruined forever!
Those thoughts made her extremely excited.
“Take it. I didn’t mean to cause trouble earlier. I offer my sincere apologies. But this time, I’m genuinely
trying to help. You’re so broke, so just accept it.” [2
Sheena observed Erin’s expressions and shook her head.
Then, she opened her phone and texted Yuri.
[Help me withdraw $150,000 from the black card in my bag. It’s in the car. Bring the cash to the garden
and be quick.]
Within seconds, she received a reply.
[Noted! I’ll be there within two minutes.]
Then, Sheena sat on the stone by the fountain.
Erin, feeling ignored, grew irritated. “Hey! Are you even listening to me?”
Sheena lazily massaged her shoulders. “Just wait a little longer.”
“Wait?” Erin was puzzled. “What are you waiting for? You’ve cozied up to Howard, but he’s probably
just playing around with you. You can’t seriously believe that a handsome, wealthy, and well–
connected man like him would marry you, right?”
Erin continued to persuade Sheena. However, Yuri arrived soon and respectfully handed over a black
box to Sheena.
“Here’s the thing you requested.”
Erin looked at the sudden appearance of the unfamiliar man and was utterly bewildered.
Meanwhile, Sheena got up and took the box from Yuri. When she looked back at Erin, her eyes
glimmered coldly as she smiled confidently.
“You’ve said so much, so it’s my turn to speak now, right?”
