I Became His Sweetheart

Sheena’s record when she was 15 only mentioned the orphanage, yet both heirs of the influential Svelton families claimed to have known her since childhood.

Could she also be connected to the prominent Svelton families?

If so, why did she end up in an orphanage in Farlem and coincidentally save Sebastian? Later, she married him, suddenly initiated a divorce, seized control of the Freeman Group and the Freeman Mansion, and even sent Corey's men to silence him.

Could it all have been premeditated? Were her claims about him repaying debts all an act? Was she leveraging guilt to erase suspicion and make him feel guilty?

Elijah’s doubts intensified as he contemplated these thoughts. While he was lost in his thoughts, the car had arrived at the entrance of the Freeman mansion. He considered going in alone, turning to the two bodyguards and saying, “Wait here at the entrance. I'll go in, say a few words, and come out.”

The bodyguards firmly declined him, “No, Ms. Sheena ordered us to protect your safety without leaving your side. Please don’t make it difficult for us, Mr. Freeman.”

Not even a step away? Sheena was certainly thorough in her precautions.

“Fine, then come along. But when I’m talking to my mom and Erin, can you guys stand a bit farther away? Don’t eavesdrop on our conversation.”

The two bodyguards exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Faye, being older and having faced hardships in her youth, understood the virtue of perseverance, so the household staff, including Heidi, did not deliberately trouble her. Erin, however, was young and had been indulged from childhood, often resisting orders from Heidi and the others.

Consequently, both of them were assigned separate tasks. Erin was assigned to clean the toilets, including scrubbing the dirty toilet bowls in the servants F quarters.

Since she was the closest, Elijah decided to visit her first. The staff received the news and released Erin early, arranging for her to wait for Elijah in the hallway.

Erin was dressed in servant attire. Her eyes were red, indicating she had been crying for quite some time. As soon as she saw Elijah, she rushed toward him as if he were a savior, seeking comfort.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Eli! You've finally returned! Are you here to rescue me? Please take me away. The Freeman mansion is like hell for me now, and | don’t want to stay here a second longer.’

Erin grabbed Elijah, ready to leave, but he remained unmoved.

Amidst her confusion, the nearby bodyguard stepped in to explain, “He’s currently Ms.

Sheena’s private manservant. He can’t help you. He’s just here to check on you.”

“What? A private manservant!” Erin was shocked and felt her hopes crumble, unable to accept reality. “Eli, how could you submit to her? You're my brother! The pillar of the Freeman family! Why would you...”

The bodyguard was about to speak but received a stern glare from Elijah, wisely choosing to keep silent and stepping a few meters away to give them privacy.

As soon as the bodyguard left, Elijah spoke softly, “Erin, behave yourself for a while. I'll find a \way.”

In a state of despair, Erin cried, “What can you do? You're already her servant, with no difference in status from me and Mom...”

As if realizing something, a sinister expression gradually appeared on Erin’s face. “I get it now, Eli! I’m sure you have a lot of time alone with her now. You must find a chance to help me get rid of her. She’s ruined my life, and we’re sworn enemies!”

Elijah sighed, recognizing that Erin’s mind was clouded by vengeance and likely not receptive to further discussion.
