Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 521
Since there was no way to deal with Sheena, Elliot simply ignored her.
He redirected his gaze to the window, his eyes regaining their indifference.
His icy, highâandâmighty CEO facade crumbled in Sheenaâs presence.
Seeing that Elliot remained silent and unresponsive, Sheena decided not to press him further.
âAlright, take your time to cool down. But I donât want to hear any talk of breaking our engagement or breaking up. You insisted on being with me first, and now you want to back out? No way! Elliot, youâre mine for life!â
âAlso, Iâm sorry, but Iâm just that domineering. Itâs too late for you to realize who I really am!â
Sheena scoffed, got up, and left with graceful strides. She knew Elliot too well. He was stubborn, and getting him to speak his mind would be a great challenge. Moreover, he preferred to endure in silence, hiding his pain deep inside.
As for why he developed such a demeanor, Sheena had already guessed most of it. During the previous banquet, Santiago got angry and even mentioned punishing Elliot in her presence. Elliotâs parents had died in a car accident when he was very young, and Santiago had raised him. Santiago had traditional and strict beliefs, and Elliot likely endured many beatings and punishments. He had been left to endure injuries and pain on his own without anyone to care for him.
Moreover, Elliot had always cherished those close to him, and the more he loved someone, the more he hid things from them.
Sheena had a hunch.
This time, it was not just an injury. He was probably ill!
Considering his unusual behavior, the issue seemed far from simple.
Although Elliot refused to talk, it did not mean she could not investigate on her own..
Lost in these thoughts, Sheena left the office.
Lionel was standing not far away.
She walked over and wh pered, âI need to talk to you about something. Come with me quietly.â
âHuh?â
Lionel, observie
followed her tox
rious expression, felt a bit uneasy. However, unable to refuse, he awkwardly and secure corridor.
âMs. Sheeha, whatâs going on?â
Sheena asked, âHow many years have you been with Elliot?â
212
Lionel thought for a moment. âMore than ten.â
Nodding thoughtfully, she continued probing, âDuring this recent trip to the border, did Elliot get injured?â
âNo. He has us with him. We wonât let him get hurt so easily. You can rest assured,â Lionel replied promptly, looking composed.
Having gained some insight, Sheena asked, âThen it must be an illness.â
Lionel lowered his head, not responding.
âYouâve been with him for so long, so you must know his physical condition well. What kind of illness does he have? Is it serious?â
Scratching his head, Lionel replied, âWhy would you think that? His health has always been fine, no illnesses.â
âHeâs hiding it from me, and you wonât tell me the truth either.â
ââ¦â
âLast night, I managed to kick him off the bed with just a little force. It shows that heâs quite weak. Just now, he appeared so pale. Even if you deny it, I wonât believe you. So, tell me, whatâs going on with him?â
Lionel, visibly distressed, resisted the urge to speak the truth.
With a long sigh, he said, âPlease donât press me any further. I really donât know anything. IâI have some work to attend to. Bye.â
Watching him hurriedly leave, Sheena contemplated for a moment before calling one of Dark Bellâs subordinates.
âCheck Elliotâs recent travels over the past few months. See if heâs visited any hospitals frequently and make it quick.â
