Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 365
Sheena did not mince her words and openly admitted, âYes, if not for this, how else could i catch you?â
Nathaniel chuckled wryly. âWhen did you start being cautious around me?â
âSince you pulled out the revolver and demanded I choose between shooting Elijah and Jennifer. Thatâs when I sensed something was off.â
He stared at her, somewhat doubtful.
She remained expressionless, continuing, âIt wasnât until the last time you were leaving Farlem. I saw the person in black in the Eros Bar corridor and combined with the sulfuric acid incident that day, I began suspecting your connection with the Lawson family.â
Nathaniel managed a pale smile. âSo thatâs it.â
âNate, youâve been the only person I admired since childhood. Why would you want to kill me?

He shook his head, still denying, âI didnât. When the Lawson family announced your death, you had no idea how devastated I was. I only found out you were alive half a month ago. I had to fake a cooperation to come to Farlem and see you.â
âIf you still love me, I will fight against them for you. But⦠youâve added an annoying dog to your side!â
âOn the night at the bar, I stood on the second floor. I didnât plan to take action until Elijah came in. I knew he would protect you, so I had to act. I didnât mean to target you. How could I bear to let you get hurt?â
As he spoke, Nathaniel gazed at Sheena affectionately. Despite the bruises on his face, he was still incredibly handsome. Yet, Sheena had no time to appreciate his looks.
She scoffed and said, âIsnât it ridiculous for you to say that? If he didnât protect me, I would be the one injured right now, and youâre still claiming you werenât targeting me.â
Her eyes grew colder, losing patience with the conversation. âStop lying. I just want to know who from the Lawson family is trying to harm me. I wonât make things difficult for you if you
tell me.â
but that
person wonât.â
Nathaniel lowered his gaze, looking sad. âYou might spare me,
âThat person?â Sheena frowned. âWho are you talking about?â
Nathaniel met Sheenaâs gaze and spoke with deep sorrow, âNana, that little pet of yours isnât a good guy. Heâs been deceiving you with his acting, hiding more secrets than I have. Donât fall for his tricks!â
âHe has secrets, and Iâve always known. I just donât bother to dig into them,â Sheena replied casually.
After all, she and Elijah had only a one-year agreement. Once it was over, they would part ways. Hence, his secrets did not interest her much.
Nathaniel was pleasantly surprised, smiling. âLooks like you arenât too concerned about him

either! Thatâs good. Nana, you should thank me. After all, I helped you get rid of this clingy pet.
Seeing her frown, Nathanielâs eyes widened in feigned astonishment. âDonât you know? Well, he has been lying to you. Why donât you check his injuries when youâre back? Youâll find out how much heâs been hiding from you.â
Check his injuries?
Sheena furrowed her brow.
Was Elijahâs injury not just a superficial skin wound from sulfuric acid?
She found it strange, but Nathaniel was still smiling. However, upon closer inspection, that smile seemed mischievous, not like a lie but more like he knew something she did not.
âExplain more,â Sheena demanded.
Nathaniel shook his head, still smiling.
Sheena grew annoyed but could not take any action against him. After all, he was the head of the Special Investigation Department, holding a high position in the Froania military and the
area.
Moreover, she lacked a legitimate reason to confront him and did not want trouble for herself or Corey. In the end, she left the small cabin.
As soon as the door closed, Elijah approached her. âHow did it go? Did he confess?â
Sheena shook her head. âNever mind. Iâve confirmed he conspired with others to harm me. Weâll find other ways to investigate. Have Lionel and the others destroy the evidence and discreetly send him back tomorrow.â
Elijah did not agree. Even though she could take her time to investigate, he could not.
His time was running out.
âSheena, if you trust me, leave this to me. Within two days, Iâll make him spill everything.â âYou know his identity. Are you sure you want to take action against him?â Sheena stared at him seriously. âDid you punch his face? Do you plan to continue your own form of justice? The Special Investigation Department and the Nicholls family wonât let you off.â
He pursed his lips and smiled, not taking her warning seriously. âRest assured, Iâll handle it properly.â
Their eyes locked in a serious gaze.
