Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 383
It was Elijahâs voice.
Sheena sighed in relief, but she soon became angry. âWhy didnât you answer the phone?â
Elijahâs tone carried a hint of exhaustion and sleepiness. âI was asleep. Why are you still awake at this hour? Did something happen?â
âNothing happened. I just couldnât sleep.â
âWell⦠Should I keep you company through the night?â
âMm,â Sheena responded simply. Recalling the dream from earlier, she sternly reminded Elijah, âRemember, youâre not allowed to go anywhere these two days. Also, set your phone to the loudest ringtone. As long as itâs my call, you must answer it at once regardless of the time.â
Elijah remained silent for a moment before softly saying, âGot it. Are you sleepy now?â
âNot really.â
âDo you want me to tell you a story?â
âNo.â
âAre you hungry? Send me your location, and Iâll order some lateânight snacks for you.â
âIâm not hungry.â
Elijah was at a loss for words. Sheena was such a conversation stopper, and there was no way to continue chatting!
Since Sheena could not fall asleep, she let Elijah tell her a story. Elijah found some stupid jokes online and told them one by one. Due to his poor storytelling skills, the atmosphere turned awkward.
However, under his hypnotic voice, Sheena unconsciously fell asleep..
The next day, Sheena stuck to the plan. However, Barrett stayed at LaâPortella Manor the entire day without leaving the house. As the evening approached, Sheena grew impatient and had Howard personally lure him out.
After another half an hour of waiting, Barrett finally emerged with Howard. Little did he expect that, just as he stepped out of his mansion, someone struck him on the head with a stick, rendering him unconscious.

When Barrett woke up again, he found himself tied to a chair and his mouth sealed with duct tape with a table placed in front of him. The surroundings were dimly lit and enclosed, resembling a basement.
Confused, he struggled and mumbled through the tape.
The basement door opened, and a woman soon approached him. With light makeup and sharp, sparkling eyes, she was a sight to behold.
Barrett, after a moment of surprise, stopped struggling and started shouting when he saw her.
Sheena observed his reaction, smirking. âUncle Barret, it looks like youâve been keeping yourself updated with my recent photos. After so many years, Iâve become quite beautiful, yet you managed to recognize me at first sight.â
She walked to the chair opposite Barrettâs and signaled Ford.
Ford removed the tape from Barrettâs mouth, causing Barrett pain as it pulled on his beard.
After taking a moment to recover, Barrett glared at Sheena. âIâm your uncle! How could you let Howard trick me out here and then kidnap me? Is this how you treat your elders?â
Sheena rested her chin in her hand, laughing casually. âUncle Barrett, itâs not the first day youâve known I can be unruly. Besides, I have a great attitude! As an elder, youâve lost your virtue and respect long ago.â
Barrett squinted at her. âLost my virtue? Iâve always stayed out of family matters, living as a lazy, idle man. Where did I lose my virtue?â
âUncle Barrett, take a look at this,â Sheena said, turning to Ford.
Ford handed over Nathanielâs statement to Barrett.
âUncle Barrett, I wonât make it too difficult for you. Read through Nathanielâs statement and see if it has anything to do with you.â
