Chapter 385
Sheena frowned. “What happened to him?”
“Mr. Freeman… is gone,” Ford struggled to say.
Sheena froze on the spot.
Gone?
The person who chatted with her all night and told stories just the night before. How could he be gone when she woke up?
Sheena could not believe it. “Gone? What do you mean? Is he playing some kind of trick again?”
Ford’s voice became more choked. “Ian said Mr. Freeman found out about the man in black’s plan to kill you. He asked Ian to keep it a secret, then went alone to deal with them last night to protect you. But h–he didn’t come back.”
Sheena took a step back, her expression shifting from shock to a cynical smile. ‘ Impossible! I don’t believe it. How could that jerk die so easily?”
Ford remained silent. Seeing Sheena still doubted, he could not hold back his tears and started crying.
Sheena scolded Ford, “Why are you crying like a baby? You’re a grown man! If you don’t stop, I’ll deduct half a year’s salary!”
Upon hearing the salary deduction threat, Ford cried even louder. “Miss, Mr. Freeman is such a good person, yet he’s gone so soon. On top of that, you’re going to deduct my salary! I’m too sad! I just can’t stop these tears!”
Looking at the tall and burly man crying his lungs out, Sheena could not help but feel a tinge of sympathy. Her eyes turned slightly red too.
She took a deep breath and said calmly, “If he just hasn’t returned, there’s still hope. Send people to find him! Whether alive or dead, we need to see it for ourselves.”
“Miss! Miss!” John hurriedly ran to her room. “Lionel called, asking you to return as soon as you’re done. He said Mr. Freeman is waiting for you at Ocean Avenue!”
“Mr. Freeman didn’t die? Did he go back? He wasn’t injured last night?” Ford sniffed, clearly relieved.
Sheena did not say anything. Instead, she looked at John, waiting for him to
answer.

John shook his head. “I don’t know. Lionel just said this much, but since Mr. Freeman is waiting for you at Ocean Avenue, he should’ve returned safely.”
Hearing this, both Sheena and Ford breathed sighs of relief.
“Pack up, book the earliest flight, and let’s return to Farlem as soon as possible.”
She wanted to see what Elijah and Ian were up to!
“Yes, Miss.”
The group moved swiftly, boarding the earliest flight back to Farlem.
However, by the time they returned to Ocean Avenue, it was nearing evening. Winter had set in, and the sky remained gloomy as if ready to pour down heavy rain at any moment.
Despite the biting cold wind, it could not deter Sheena. Once inside the mansion, Ian was nowhere to be found, and the entire place was silent.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
