Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 379
Seeing Elijahâs puzzled expression, with a faint touch of surprise in his eyes, Sheena explained, âYou mentioned that regular ointments donât work for injuries caused by the S40 corrosive agent. This box is a specialized ointment I had someone buy yesterday. Use it for the subsequent dressing, and it should speed up the healing.â
Elijah glanced at the ointment in his hand. Though she did not say it, he knew this ointment was only available in the war lab, probably arranged through Corey. It did have a decent curative effect, but since he harbored the S404 biochemical virus, this ointment would not be effective for his injuries.
âThank you. This is the first gift youâve given me since the divorce,â Elijah expressed, thumb gently caressing the ointment box. His eyes were slightly red, and miraculously, the pain from his wounds seemed to diminish.
âIt doesnât count as a gift. This time, you got hurt for me, so consider it my compensation. Alsoâ¦â Sheena paused, smirking as she added, âIf weâre counting actual gifts since the divorce, it would be the bankruptcy of the Freeman family, your employment contract, and the modified 023.â
Elijah stopped fiddling with the ointment box. Suddenly, he no longer felt moved.
Sheena enjoyed watching his expression freeze. She smiled mischievously as she fetched Nathanielâs confession from the desk. Then, she read it carefully, and her face gradually turned grim.
âNathaniel is saying that Barrett was the one behind the bar and chemical- splashing incident?â
Barrett Lawson, her fourth uncle, was a laidâback member of the Lawson family with no ambitious plans. She had considered her third uncle, Victor Lawson, among those who might harm her, but Barrett had not crossed her mind.
Elijah nodded. âAlthough Nathaniel might not have fully disclosed everything, he was clear on the details and the communication process. Barrettâs son works in the National Affairs Bureau, and Nathaniel feared him. It makes sense that he followed Barrettâs orders to steal the chemical from the lab.â
Sheena sat on the nearby small sofa, silent for a long time. Then, she shouted angrily, âI wonât let Barrett off! Tomorrow, Iâm going to Svelton to settle scores quietly!â
After all, Barrett had chosen such malicious means, wanting to injure her face. She would not rest until he experienced the same!
t
She looked up, recalling Elijahâs injuries. âYouâre still injured, so stay in the
mansion and take care of yourself. This time, youâre not allowed to come with me.
â
Elijah was contemplating how to find an excuse not to go when Sheena decided for him.
âAiright. Iâll stay in the mansion, waiting for your return.â
As Elijah spoke those last few words, his voice gradually faded, but Sheena did not notice. She was still earnestly studying Nathanielâs statement.
âDamn it, Barrett! Youâre so good at hiding yourself!â
âIt sounds like youâre quite familiar with him. Have you visited the Lawson family before?â Elijah raised an eyebrow.
Although he had already figured out that Sheena was likely the heiress of the Lawson family, she had never brought it up herself. Suddenly, he felt like teasing her.
Upon hearing his question, Sheena met his gaze and raised an eyebrow herself. â Iâm not familiar with him, but I am with Howard. Perhaps itâs because Howard treats me too well, attracting the jealousy of those Lawson family people, causing them to harm me.â
âOh.â Elijah pursed his lips, suppressing a smile.
When he looked up, he found Sheena observing his expression.
Quickly, he acted upset. âWhy are you telling me all this? I donât think Howard has treated you that well.â
Sheena rested her chin on her hand, her tone slightly playful. âSo, youâre feeling jealous again?â
Elijah lowered his head, not answering her question, and mumbled, âIâm going to make breakfast.â
Only when he turned to leave did he manage a helpless smile.
Sheena also chuckled, and once he was gone, she went over Nathanielâs statement again, preparing for tomorrowâs trip to Svelton.
While Elijah was preparing breakfast, Gabrielle intentionally woke up a bit earlier.
