Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Someone shouted, suddenly interrupting them, and breaking the tension.

Howard’s face darkened as he stepped forward, forcibly separating the two and swiftly

punched Elijah in the face.

Elijah could not dodge in time, grunting in pain as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.

Sheena was then safely hiding behind Howard. While she was concerned about Elijah being. hurt, she could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

A single punch was too light a punishment for someone who dared to bully her! Instead, he should have been tortured mercilessly!

“Mr. Freeman, I heard you already have a new girlfriend, so why are you still bothering your ex -wife? Isn’t that inappropriate?” Howard chuckled lightly, reverting back to his usual gentlemanly demeanor as if he did not just punch someone.

Elijah looked straight at Howard, showing no signs of weakness despite the injury. “Even so, she was once my wife. Mr. Lawson, why are you so protective of her?”

He emphasized the words “my wife” like an arrogant lion facing an enemy that threatened its prey, asserting his dominance.

Obviously, Elijah was still unaware that Sheena was Howard’s sister, which was why he was so protective of her!

The smile faded from Howard’s face, but he refrained from speaking further as Sheena tightened her grip on his arm. Instead, he scoffed and replied, “Mr. Freeman, Sheena is an independent person, and she has the right to choose who she wants to be with. Why do you feel entitled to claim her as yours?”

They stared at each other, neither yielding an inch, as if they were engaged in a battle of wills. Tension ran high, and neither side was willing to back down.

Sheena was fed up with this hostile atmosphere. She had worked all day, and she just wanted this to end.

Coughing twice to get their attention, she said, “It’s getting late, and tomorrow is a workday. Mr. Lawson, Mr. Freeman, you should both leave.”

Elijah saw that she was about to leave and stepped forward to stop her.

Howard moved forward as well, blocking Elijah with a threatening look in his eyes.

Nonetheless, they were not in Elijah’s company’s territory, and he could not act as he wished. Hence, he smiled and turned to Sheena, “You must be hungry. How about having dinner together tonight and we can talk things over?”

Sheena responded without hesitation, “I’m not hungry. I’m not eating, nor talking with you!”

Elijah’s expression instantly turned sour. Meanwhile, Howard could not help but chuckle.

His little princess had always been straightforward and assertive!

Seeming to have gained the upper hand, Howard provocatively locked eyes with Elijah, but his words were directed at Sheena. “Nana, it’s getting dark. Let me send you home.”

Sheena turned around and witnessed the intense gaze between the two men once again.

She sighed inwardly, ‘Here they go again.‘

She wished the heavens would just take both of them away and give her some peace of mind.

Sheena let out a tired sigh, then said, “No need for that. I’ll familiarize myself with the route.‘

With that, she quickly got into her small Volkswagen Santana and sped away.

Meanwhile, the two men in the car park continued their confrontation.

Since Sheena did not accept Howard’s invitation, Elijah felt he had gained some ground and smirked. “It seems you don’t understand Sheena well.”

Howard looked at him coldly. “I’ve known her since she was young, so I definitely understand her much better than you.”

Elijah’s expression changed at Howard’s words.

Seeing Elijah’s reaction, Howard felt triumphant. “Mr. Freeman, you should keep your eyes on what’s in front of you and stop fantasizing about someone you have lost and can never have again.”

With that, Howard turned and walked away, taking the stairs to the upper level. He had seen the situation on the monitor earlier and ordered his men to seal off the lower level of the car park, preventing any employees from going down.

Otherwise, Sheena would be bothered further. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elijah froze, and no one could read his expression.
