Wait She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 185

Chapter 185

Sheena did not immediately answer him. Then, she smiled and said, “Everyone has debts to settle sooner or later, and Elijah is no exception.”

Hearing this, Colin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheena would seek retribution from Elijah for past events, but she did not mention retaliating against him because of Katie.

In other words, she still cared about him, right?

Colin believed that Sheena was just upset with him because of Katie and that there was still a chance for him.

Having figured it out, Colin stood up happily.

“Sheena, don’t worry. I’ll change myself for the better. I’m willing to wait for you. I’ll be here forever.”

After saying that, he left.

Sheena rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit exasperated.

It seemed like he still did not fully understand her intentions. Nonetheless, she decided to put it aside and explain it later when the opportunity arose.

In the following days, Bethany claimed to be running to various construction sites and rarely showed up at the company to report progress. If Faye called and asked, she simply said she was busy.

Faye was very displeased with Bethany’s attitude. If it were not for the urgent need for Bethany’s help, she would have erupted with anger long ago.

Just as she was thinking about it, her phone rang.

It was Erin.

“Sweetie, what’s wrong?”

Erin was extremely displeased as she complained, “Why is my recent pocket money less than before? While shopping with the Xanthos family’s heiresses, my card showed insufficient funds! How am I supposed to maintain my status in the circle like this!”

Faye felt a bit guilty. Bethany had invested all the money on hand in various projects, so she had secretly reduced Erin’s pocket money.

“Mom! You used to say that daughters should be spoiled. How can you treat me like this…‘

Faye had no choice but to comfort Erin with the words Bethany had told her before.

“Sweetie, the company has been facing some financial difficulties recently, and I have no choice. Once things improve, I’ll double your pocket money and get you whatever you want!” “Okay! I also want the entire set of limited–edition skincare products from LC’s pre–sale!”

“Alright, alright! I’ll get them all!”

Chapter 185

After hanging up the phone, Faye’s mind was filled with thoughts about Bethany. She could not shake the feeling that her niece was hiding something from her, as it had been a few days since she reported progress at the company or called.

Unable to ease her concerns, Faye decided to give Bethany another call herself. Just as she scrolled through her contacts, the door was abruptly pushed open by her assistant, Lorna.

Faye, already in a bad mood, glared at Lorna. “Don’t you know how to knock when you enter?”

Lorna ignored Faye’s irritation and urgently exclaimed, “Madam Freeman, the construction team from Laxine is causing a scene. They’ve blocked the entrance to the building!”

“What!” Faye slammed the table and immediately got to her feet from the shock. “Why are they so audacious? Also, is our security just for show?”

“There are too many of them! There are about a hundred people in the whole construction team, and they’ve all surrounded the building. They claim that the payment for the agreed- upon work hasn’t been deposited into their accounts, and Ms. Carver even dismissed the person in charge of alleged misconduct as a supervisor. Now they’re leaderless, wielding construction tools as weapons, demanding an explanation from you!”

No payment deposited into their accounts?!

Where did her money go?

What was Bethany up to?

A terrible thought crossed Faye’s mind, leaving her pale with fear. She could not believe Bethany would dare to do something like this to her.

After all, she was her niece!

To confirm her suspicion, Faye trembled as she dialed Bethany’s number.

As the call was connected, Faye heard the ringing grow louder and closer with each passing

second.
