Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)

Chapter 16

Elijah’s face darkened completely, looking at Erin with disappointment and fury.

“You’re being absolutely unreasonable.”

He forcefully pulled Erin’s hand off his sleeve and ordered, “You’re grounded, and you’re not allowed to

go anywhere without my permission. I hope you’ll reflect on what you’ve done!” With that, he took

Jennifer’s hand and left.

Erin wanted to catch up with them, but Leon held her back, and she could only plead in despair. In the

end, she was forcibly dragged back to the Freeman family mansion.

Fuming with anger, Erin started smashing things in her room. The noise echoed through the entire

house.

Faye was awakened by the intense noise and rushed over to check on her.

“Erin, what’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to be at the banquet? What happened?” “Mom!” Erin

cried as she recounted the events at the party with exaggerations. “Mom, you have to help me! Elijah is

biased! Not only did he not do anything to that bitch, but he also grounded me! You have to help me get

justice!”

Faye comforted her and gently patted her back.

“What do you want me to do?”

Erin’s eyes filled with malice as she said, “I want her dead!”

Meanwhile, Sheena had yet to find a place to stay, so she stayed at Howard’s mansion temporarily.

Auntie Gloria, their servant, was thrilled to see Sheena, exclaiming that the young lady was all grown

up. She hurried over to help Sheena with the luggage and prepare her bedroom.

Sheena wanted to help, but Howard pulled her aside for a chat.

“Nana, you’ll be joining the company tomorrow. Do you have any plans?”

“Let’s just follow what we’ve agreed on earlier. You’ll act as the CEO, and I’ll learn how to handle the

company’s affairs from you.”

Howard pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright… Since you don’t want others to know about our

relationship, I won’t be sending you to the company. I’ve arranged a limited–edition Maserati MC77 for

you. It’s a style you’ll like.”

“The MC77 is too expensive,” Sheena protested, shaking her head. “A cheaper car is enough for daily

commutes. If you really want to get me a car, then a Volkswagen Santana will do.”

Howard frowned. “That’s too unfair to you.”

Sheena smiled, her eyes shining with mischief, and she wrapped her arm around his, acting

coquettishly.

“Not at all, Howard. I don’t plan to reveal my true identity for now.

The person that hurt her was from the Lawson family. Since she had lost her memory and

ended up in Farlem, there had been no sign of them. They probably had no idea that Sheena had been

with the Freeman family over the years, and it was too dangerous to reveal her identity before she

found out who the culprit was.

Howard, being a smart man, could understand her concerns.

“The security here is excellent. You can stay here in peace. No one will disturb you,” he assured her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Then, he remembered something and added, “By the way, Corey has been flying abroad frequently

lately, and Noah is busy with a rare medical case at the hospital. They heard about your divorce and

were happy for you, so they got you some gifts, which should be arriving in a few days.”

Sheena pouted, “What kind of brothers celebrate their little sister’s divorce? You guys are the only ones

like this!”

Although she said that, she was curious. Corey, the eldest among them, was a senior pilot and owned

businesses all over the world, while Noah, her second brother, was a well–known

surgeon.

Whatever gifts they prepared for her, they must have been extraordinary.

Howard chuckled and playfully touched her nose before going upstairs to shower.

At midnight, Elijah dropped Jennifer off at the hotel before returning to the mansion.

Upon opening the door, the living room felt dark and empty without the familiar figure waiting for him

every day, making it eerily lonely.

His feelings were complicated, and he could not put them into words.

Switching on the lights, he sat on the couch and lit a cigarette while listening to Leon’s report.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Freeman. I couldn’t find Ms. Sheena’s whereabouts. After she left the hotel, it was as if

she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Her phone and accounts are experiencing signal

interference. We tried various methods, but we couldn’t locate her.”

Elijah took a drag from his cigarette, his expression gloomy.

Disappeared from the face of the earth?

His subordinates were elite hackers, yet they could not trace her location. Was someone helping her?
