Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 475
The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly turned very tense, creating an unsettling vibe. The servants waiting on the side were frightened and quickly left.
Corey and Barbara shot disapproving glances at Lauren.
Elliot furrowed his brow, his expression darkening further beneath his mask.
Lauren, feeling the tension in the room, was scared. However, she stubbornly maintained her composure and scoffed.
âWhy is everyone staring at me? Iâm just speaking the truth,â Lauren declared arrogantly, determined to make Elliot see Sheena for what she believed her to beâa tainted woman!
Albert, slightly displeased, cleared his throat.
âWeâre having a meal. Why bring up such matters? Close your mouth and eat your food.â
Lauren, tactful for once, decided not to press further. After all, she had achieved her goal of provoking
a reaction from Sheena.
Corey, Barbara, and Elliotâs gazes all shifted back to Sheena, who was quietly enjoying her meal without displaying any extra emotions as if she had not heard Laurenâs earlier remarks.
It was quite unlike her usual retaliatory nature.
Elliot found this behavior puzzling. In an attempt to gauge her mood, he casually scooped up at mushroom, knowing she disliked them, and placed it on her plate.
âThese are good for you, and theyâre delicious. You should have more.
Sheenaâs spoon and fork froze in midâair. Instead of speaking, she just shot Elliot a warning look that only he could interpretâa clear sign that she was simmering with rage.
She was holding back her anger, an unusual departure from her usual style of not bottling up her
emotions.
Elliot was unsure what was going on in her mind, but he knew that leaving that detested mushroom. on her plate might lead to consequences when they got home. So, he took the mushroom from her plate and ate it himself.
Sheenaâs expression softened at this.
Albert, observing the scene, narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
The meal continued, but the unpleasant atmosphere lingered.
Albert waited until Elliot was done eating before gently asking, âElliot, do the dishes prepared by the Lawson family chefs suit your taste?â
âItâs good. Iâve had enough to eat. Take your time,â Elliot said as he set aside his utensils.

Albert also did the same, stating, âIâve almost finished, but with age, my legs arenât what they used to be. Iâd like to go to the study and grab a few books while they continue eating. Could you push me over there?â
It was evident that Albert had something to discuss privately.
âSure.â Elliot did not hesitate, getting up and walking behind Albert to assist in pushing his wheelchair.
Once they were gone, Lauren resumed speaking, âSheena, you really have some luck. Youâre a used woman, having been married before, yet Elliot doesnât seem to mind. You should be grateful to the Lawson familyâs influence or
Before she could finish her sentence, Sheena suddenly picked up a halfâfilled glass of juice and splashed it onto Lauren across the long table. The juice covered her head to toe, even getting into her
hair.
Lauren widened her eves. â
âDid you just splash me?â
Sheena raised an eyebrow coldly. âWhy wouldnât I? Elliot was here, and it was his first time dining with the Lawson family. I tolerated you the first time, but who knew youâd take advantage of it and push your luck.â
âThis is the Lawson family! Iâm your stepmother!â
Sheena sneered. âApart from Dad, who in the Lawson family acknowledges your status? Donât you feel embarrassed, always crying for attention like that? It seems youâve realized how miserable your life is.â
âSheena!â Lauren turned red with anger and glanced at Corey and Barbara.
Corey looked indifferent, and Barbara was trying to stifle a laugh. They both acted as if it was none of
their business.
Sheena noticed Laurenâs gaze and mocked, âWhat are you looking at? Hoping theyâll speak up for you? Coreyâs my brother, and Barbaraâs my sisterâinâlaw. By doing nothing, theyâre already showing some face for Dad.â
With Albert out of the picture, Lauren found herself without support, feeling frustrated and almost on the verge of tears.
