Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 329

Chapter 329

Why was Elijah here?

And why was he referring to the drink incident from a while ago?

This man was too petty.

Sheena cast a sidelong glance at Elijah. However, it turned out that he was not alone. Lionel, Ford, Paul, John, and Sawyer had all joined in. Then, she looked up to the second–floor railing, where Nathaniel was still leaning. Though the dim lighting hid his expression, she sensed his gaze on them.

The man who offered the drink, scolded by Elijah, looked at Sheena innocently.

“Miss, I meant no harm. It’s just a drink. I don’t know why this gentleman insulted me.”

“You’re right. It’s just a drink,” Sheena responded with a charming smile. Her delicate fingers reached for the red wine in Elijah’s hand.

Elijah, refusing to give it to her, had a displeased expression.

With a gentle gaze and a playful tone, Sheena coaxed, “Be good and let go. I’ll drink your toast next time, too.”

With just those words, Elijah instantly relented.

Sheena smoothly reclaimed the glass of red wine, elegantly sniffed it, and then lightly pressed her lips to the rim as if about to take a sip. The man offering the drink watched excitedly, his eyes flickering with anticipation. However, she stopped just as her lips were about to touch the liquid.

She playfully looked at the man and teased, “You really want me to drink it, don’t you?”

The man was stunned, but he quickly nodded eagerly.

In the next moment, Sheena turned cold, and she forcefully splashed the wine onto his face.

“You know what’s in this drink, so enjoy the taste,” Sheena said mockingly.

She had not noticed initially. However, the man mentioned he came from the nearby table, yet they showed no reaction when Elijah’s group intervened. Moreover, he was overly eager.

The man, now covered in wine stains, looked annoyed. “If you didn’t want to drink, fine, but why falsely accuse me? You’re ruining the mood!”

He wiped his face, lowered his head, and reached for the tissues in his suit pocket.

Elijah observed him closely and noticed a glint of hostility in his eyes when he lowered his head–a troubling sign.

The man took advantage, of Sheena being momentarily distracted and suddenly pulled out a small glass bottle from his pocket. Maliciously, he aimed it at Sheena’s face and splashed its

contents.

“Watch out!” Elijah instinctively pulled her into his arms, and the liquid splashed on the back

of his suit.

Soon, it began to sizzle and emit smoke.

“Ugh…” Elijah frowned in pain. Even so, he held Sheena tightly, sheltering her in his embrace, “Miss, it’s sulfuric acid!” Ford shouted in terror.

His words caused the dancing crowd to scatter, screaming in panic. The man who had thrown the acid took advantage of the chaos and fled.

Sheena roared, “John and Sawyer, go after him! Whoever resorts to such sinister tactics must be caught!”

After that, she swiftly assessed Elijah’s condition, tearing off his suit and shirt. Elijah was already weakened from a recent cold. Moreover, having taken medication and doing household chores that afternoon, he was on the verge of exhaustion.

In pain and unsteady on his feet, Elijah leaned against Sheena as sweat drenched his forehead, and he allowed Sheena to remove his clothes.

Fortunately, most of the liquid had soaked into the clothes. Only a palm–sized area in the middle of his back had absorbed the most liquid, causing a severe burn.

It was excruciatingly painful.

He felt grateful that the injury was on him. If Sheena had been harmed, the pain would have been unbearable. Amidst the intense pain, he looked up, and his eyelashes trembled lightly. He took in the pleasant scent of Sheena’s hair, struggling to maintain consciousness.

In the midst of his agony, he suddenly noticed that Ian, who had been behind Sheena, was nowhere to be seen. Worried, he exchanged a glance with Lionel.
