Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 389

Chapter 389

Amidst the pouring rain, the bodyguards held an umbrella for Faye as she walked aside to inspect the letters. No one witnessed the shocked expression on her face as she tightly clutched the letter.

With a complex gaze and after a few minutes of dilemma, Faye pocketed the envelope and returned to Elijah’s grave.

“Mom, what did Eli say?” Erin asked.

However, with a lost and troubled look, Faye ignored Erin as if she had not heard the question.

“What’s wrong, Mom? Don’t scare me! What did Eli say to you?”

Erin reached out to take the envelope from Faye’s hand, but she evaded it. In a state of urgency, Faye fiercely crumpled the opened letter, shoved it into her mouth, and swallowed right before everyone.

“Mom, what are you doing!”

“Madam Freeman!”

Everyone was stunned by her actions. Yet, Faye offered no explanation. Instead, she ran into the rain, embracing Elijah’s cold tombstone, crying with all her might.

“Elijah! My son, you’re so young. How could you leave Erin and me like this…”

Her cries were hoarse, and the grief on her face touched everyone’s hearts. They could not help but feel their eyes welling up.

As the lady of a prominent family, Faye had always maintained a dignified demeanor. Still, for the first time, she disregarded her image in front of so many people, openly embracing the tombstone and weeping.

Surprisingly, no one found her actions inappropriate. After all, the death of the most promising child of the Freeman family was truly heartbreaking!

Sheena, watching from a distance, had red eyes but had not shed a tear. Her expression remained calm. No one saw her fiercely clenching her fists underneath Howard’s suit jacket and her nails piercing into her palms. It was as if her heart was numb, and she could not feel the pain.

At the cemetery, Faye nearly fainted from her overwhelming emotions.

Luckily, Erin held her, comforting her until her emotions gradually calmed down.

The funeral finally concluded, and business partners, relatives, and friends slowly departed, all in somber spirits.

Some lamented the sudden loss of a business prodigy, extinguished in the prime of life:

Others pitied the Freeman family, now reduced to two women, with the looming threat of Wilfred adding to their woes.

When everyone had left, Erin helped Faye leave the cemetery.

Erin spotted Sheena under a nearby tree and erupted in anger. “It’s all because of you! You brought misfortune upon Eli! If it weren’t for you, how could he have died? How do you even have the gall to show up here!”

Sheena remained silent, lowering her gaze.

Howard, unable to bear seeing his beloved sister being cursed at, wore a stern expression. “Watch your mouth. Nana was unaware of this, and it was Elijah’s own decision.”

“Unaware?” Erin approached, glaring at Sheena with bloodshot eyes. “Is she off the hook with just claiming ignorance? Eli sacrificed his life for her! Look at her! Not a single tear was shed for him! She’s just a heartless b-”

“Erin!” Faye intervened before Erin could utter the word.

Erin looked at Faye in disbelief. “Mom! She’s the murderer who killed Eli! What’s wrong with me berating her? You also dislike her, don’t you? What’s gotten into you? Why are you defending her?”

Sheena still kept her head down, offering no retort.

Faye, with tear streaks on her face, walked slowly to Sheena, bowing slightly.

Erin was dumbfounded. “Mom, do you even know what you’re doing? You’re actually bowing to her?!”

Ignoring Erin, Faye focused on Sheena, speaking with a heavy tone. “I apologize for Erin’s words. She’s just speaking out of grief, and I hope you can forgive her.”

Sheena was somewhat baffled. After all, Faye had always been harsh toward her, so why the sudden change today?

“Erin is right. I bear responsibility for his death. Aren’t you angry with me at all?”

Tears slid down Faye’s face, and she wiped them away with a wry smile. “Mr. Lawson was right. Since he chose this path, he must have loved you deeply. I
