Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 277
Ford and Paul found themselves immobilized by the crowd, hesitant to use force and risk injuring bystanders. Moreover, these were not ordinary people. They were wellâknown figures from the upper class.
Seizing the opportunity, Bethany exchanged a meaningful glance with Jennifer.
Understanding Bethanyâs signal, Jennifer quickly wriggled free from the bodyguardsâ restraint while the crowd diverted their attention, swiftly darting away.
The bodyguards, alarmed, were about to give chase when the enraged crowd blocked their path.
Sawyer fumed, âAre you blind? Even if you disagree with Ms. Sheena taking someone away, you shouldnât let an escaped convict like her go!â
Bethany smirked and said, âNo need for you to chase after her. Iâve already informed the police. She wonât get far, and the police will handle her. So, thereâs no need for Ms. Sheenaâs watchdogs to get involved.â
Watchdogs?
Sawyer and the others seethed with anger. However, they held their tongues since Sheena remained silent.
Sheena appeared grim.
Elijah, noticing her expression, called out softly, âSheena.â
She glared at him coldly and said, âSheâs yours, soâ¦â
Before she could finish, Elijah interrupted her, âSheâs not mine!â
Unfazed, Sheena continued, âRegardless, youâll handle this matter. Once itâs resolved, weâll return to the mansion.â
Elijah knew she was still upset. He hoped to reach out and plead with her, but he was interrupted by Lionelâs sudden arrival.
âMr. Freeman, Iâm sorry for being late.â
Elijahâs face darkened swiftly. Suppressing the urge to turn around and hit Lionel, he calmly instructed, âJennifer ran toward the secluded path out back. Sheâs injured and wonât get far. Go after her.â
âYes, Mr. Freeman.â Lionel sprinted off in the direction Elijah indicated.
Elijah took a moment to compose himself, intending to reach for Sheenaâs wrist again, only to find her calmly evading him.,
Sheena directed her gaze toward Ford and Paul and ordered, âDisperse the crowd and let the gala continue.â
With the main actors gone, there was little entertainment left.
The crowd quickly dispersed, and Sheena approached Bethany. Her beautiful eyes radiated. coldness as she locked eyes with Bethany.
Then, Sheena smirked and said, âMs. Carver, considering our past resentments, I merely planned to let the Carver family suffer a financial setback. If you behave yourself, I might spare your life. However, if I find out that you conspired with someone to cause trouble, the consequences might be more than you can bear.â
Intimidated by the warning look in Sheenaâs eyes, Bethany hesitated for a moment. After a few seconds, she composed herself and responded with a smile, âMs. Sheena, donât be rash. The outcome is still uncertain!â
Sheena chuckled. âIâll be waiting.â
With that, Sheena, accompanied by Ford, a few bodyguards, and Skye, left the charity gala without looking back.
Left alone, Elijah attempted to catch up, but Bethany blocked his path.
âElijah, the gala isnât over yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Spend a little more time with me!â
Elijah shot her an angry glare. âGet lost.â
After delivering the cold remark, he immediately headed outside the hotel. Sheena had just gotten into the car, ready to close the door.
Elijah swiftly caught the door, shouting, âSheena, wait!â
âWhatâs the matter?â
Elijah glanced into the car. Ford was driving, and Paul was in the passenger seat. Meanwhile, John and Sawyer were gone, most likely escorting Skye back.
