Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 16
Elijahâs face darkened completely, looking at Erin with disappointment and fury.
âYouâre being absolutely unreasonable.â
He forcefully pulled Erinâs hand off his sleeve and ordered, âYouâre grounded, and youâre not allowed to go anywhere without my permission. I hope youâll reflect on what youâve done!â With that, he took Jenniferâs 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.
âErin, whatâs going on? Werenât you supposed to be at the banquet? What happened?â âMom!â Erin cried as she recounted the events at the party with exaggerations. âMom, 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!â
Faye comforted her and gently patted her back.
âWhat do you want me to do?â
Erinâs eyes filled with malice as she said, âI want her dead!â
Meanwhile, Sheena had yet to find a place to stay, so she stayed at Howardâs 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.
âNana, youâll be joining the company tomorrow. Do you have any plans?â
âLetâs just follow what weâve agreed on earlier. Youâll act as the CEO, and Iâll learn how to handle the companyâs affairs from you.â
Howard pondered for a moment, then said, âAlright⦠Since you donât want others to know about our relationship, I wonât be sending you to the company. Iâve arranged a limitedâedition Maserati MC77 for you. Itâs a style youâll like.â
âThe MC77 is too expensive,â Sheena protested, shaking her head. âA cheaper car is enough for daily commutes. If you really want to get me a car, then a Volkswagen Santana will do.â
Howard frowned. âThatâs too unfair to you.â
Sheena smiled, her eyes shining with mischief, and she wrapped her arm around his, acting coquettishly.
âNot at all, Howard. I donât 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.
âThe security here is excellent. You can stay here in peace. No one will disturb you,â he assured her. Then, he remembered something and added, âBy 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.â
Sheena pouted, âWhat kind of brothers celebrate their little sisterâs divorce? You guys are the only ones like this!â
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 wellâknown
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 Leonâs report.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Freeman. I couldnât find Ms. Sheenaâs 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 couldnât locate her.â
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?
