Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 410
âDid you really think youâre the lady of the mansion just because youâve been living here for a few years? Do you, by any chance, consider yourself an elder worth respecting? Are you worthy of the respect you demand?â
Lauren glared at her fiercely, teeth clenched. âWhy canât I? Iâm your legitimate mother!â
Sheena clicked her tongue dismissively, exuding arrogance. âA mother just five years older than me? Doesnât it make you sick? Donât you find it repulsive?â
Leaning close to Laurenâs ear, Sheena whispered, âTreasure your current life of luxury, for in the future, Iâll inherit all of the Lawson familyâs fortune. When that time comes, you can pack your bags and get the hell out of here.â
âSheena!â Lauren was infuriated.
Even after all these years, Sheena remained arrogant and disdainful, not respecting her in the slightest.
Lauren wished she could tear off that mouth immediately!
However, Laurenâs anger quickly dispersed. She smirked and said, âBy the way, congratulations. Just last night, Old Man Jenkins personally visited, and Albert has agreed to his engagement proposal. Youâre getting married again.â
âWhat are you talking about? Dad arranged my marriage? How can he decide. without asking me?â Sheenaâs expression immediately dropped.
Lauren arrogantly raised her chin. âGo upstairs and ask him yourself.â
Sheena, with a stern expression, no longer had the energy to argue with Lauren. She briskly went upstairs toward the study.
Lauren watched her hurried departure, feeling quite satisfied. She heard that Elliot had a violent and cold temperament, with Santiagoâs failed attempt to force women into his bed. It seemed that Elliot had a kink of torturing women, as all the women sent by Santiago would walk out with injuries.
Rumors also suggested Elliotâs face was marred by war wounds, making him. exceptionally ugly.
Lauren chuckled to herself.
If Sheena truly married such a man, it would be indeed satisfying.
Lauren was overjoyed, swaying her slender waist as she headed to the small kitchen to check on her acai bowl.
Chapter #10
Sheena walked down the corridor, growing angrier by the moment. She forcefully pushed open the study door, but before she could voice her questions, she saw Albert, with a white beard and a weathered face, sitting in a wheelchair.
Upon seeing her enter, he lit up with tears in his eyes.
âSweetheart, come over and let me take a look.â
Sheena entered with complex emotions, crouched by his wheelchair.
âWhat happened to your legs? I remember, before I left, you were perfectly fine.â
Albert chuckled lightly, âIâm old. Getting sick is normal. I just miss you every day. Since youâve returned, why not stay at the Lawson estate and keep me company?â
Sheena, feeling sorry for him, massaged his legs and compromised, âAlright, I can come back to stay, but I canât guarantee itâll be permanent. You know, I donât get along with that woman, Lauren.â
âSheâs your stepmother.â
âNo, sheâs not! Say that again, and Iâll get angry!â
âOkay, okay, I wonât bring it up.â Albert looked at her affectionately, his broad yet wrinkled hands gently caressing her face.
Albert asked a bunch of questions about her wellâbeing, whether she ate well, slept well, and if anyone bullied her. The two chatted harmoniously. Midway through their conversation, Sheena suddenly remembered what Lauren had said.
âDad, that woman just claimed you arranged my marriage. Is it true?â
Since she already knew, Albert did not hide it and explained, âYes, Santiago spoke to me last night, and it got settled. His grandson, Elliot, is a very nice young man. I really like him. Heâ¦â
Albert rambled on with praises, but Sheena could not focus.
All she heard was that name: Elliot.
Once again, Elliot!
Damn it, what did she do to deserve this?
Why did this manâs name keep haunting her? She found it extremely annoying!
