Faye was completely flabbergasted by Sheena’s retort.
Was she the sold timid daughter–in–law she knew?

“Well, well, well. Turns out, you were only pretending all along!”
Faye grew angrier and threatened, “I won’t let this matter rest! I’ll tell Elijah, and he’ll divorce you! I’ll still chase you out of the Freeman family even if you kneel and beg for mercy!” [1
Sheena sneered. “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Elijah and I finalized our divorce about ten minutes ago. Even if you kneel and beg me, I won’t go back to the Freeman family ever again.”
Divorced?
Impossible!
This bumpkin who had been so desperate to stay in the Freeman family in the past had decided to leave just like that?
Faye looked at Sheena’s figure as she left with suspicion. Faye called Elijah right away to confirm the news.

Elijah frowned, then replied, “Yes. We’ve just settled the paperwork. Who told you about it?”
“Who else? I bumped into Sheena while I was out shopping, and she started yelling at me!”
Faye was enraged, but her mood instantly brightened when she realized the divorce was true. With a wide grin, she exclaimed, “That’s great! An orphan like her was never a good match for you. You’re far too excellent! She should’ve been kicked out a long tago.”
Elijah pursed his lips. He did not feel the sexcitement as Faye.
In fact, he was annoyed and even felt guilty.
Before this, he thought Sheena would not agree to the divorce so easily, so he had prepared 4.5 million dollars and a mansion as compensation to her. To his surprise, she initiated the divorce and did not ask for anything in return.
Now that the marriage was over, she had no money, no family, and no one to rely on.
How would she live out her life?
Elijah put his worries aside, believing that Sheena would eventually cto him.

Sheena took a taxi back to the cozy mansion where she and Elijah had lived together. It was a place where she suffered for three years of her life.
The memories were too heavy for her to bear, and she did not want to dwell on them any longer.
Passing through the small garden in front of the courtyard, she went straight upstairs to pack her luggage. She planned to leave immediately, not wanting to spend another second there. However, the moment she cdown to the first floor, she caught sight of a graceful figure in

the living room.
It was Jennifer. She was wearing a white dress and looking at her with a gentle smile.
“It’s been a while, Sheena.”
Sheena was surprised to see Jennifer there.
Did Elijah give Jennifer the keys to the mansion right after their divorce?
It seemed that he truly adored Jennifer, his first love.
A shiver ran down Sheena’s spine, but she put on a graceful smile as she walked down the stairs.
Jennifer was shocked to find Sheena so composed. However, her smile quickly returned.
“Sheena, it has only been a few years, but you seem a lot more refined. It’s no wonder you’re Elijah’s wife.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJennifer then quickly covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly, “Oh, I’m sorry. I misspoke. I forgot that you and Eli are divorced, so you’re no longer his wife.”
Knowing that Jennifer was there to assert her dominance, Sheena remained unfazed and kept up her elegant smile.
“Elijah is just a man that I’ve grown bored of. Since you like used goods so much, he’s all yours. However, you might not want to seem too eager, or it’ll make you look like a mistress clawing her way up.”
Jennifer’s smile vanished when she heard that, and it was replaced by a growing grimace. “Eli and I love each other very much. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve been married back then. You’re the despised mistress!”
Sheena sneered, then glared at Jennifer sarcastically. “You’ll find out who’s the actual mistress very soon.”
Not wanting to stay any longer, Sheena tried to walk past Jennifer. However, Jennifer suddenly grabbed her wrist and put on a pitiful expression.
Her eyes were red as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“Sheena, I’m sorry. I’ve always thought of you as a good friend. I just wanted to visit you. I mean well. I really didn’t mean anything else. Can you forgive me?”
“Wow! Two–faced, are we?” Sheena chuckled. She was about to shake off Jennifer’s hand when Jennifer suddenly made use of Sheena’s movement and fell to the ground with a miserable scream.
If someone were to watch from behind, it would look like Sheena shoved Jennifer.
What an impressive act.
Sheena coldly watched the self–directed drama, and if her guess was correct, Elijah must have just returned and was probably standing at the door watching.
Sure enough, an angry shout erupted from behind, “What are you doing?!”
