Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 645

Chapter 645

Elliot suffered in silence, unable to speak as the bitterness lingered in his mouth. Downing a whole glass of water, he managed to relieve the taste somewhat.

The medicine further depleted his already weakened strength.

Feeling exhausted from the illness and medication, Elliot leaned against the headboard, his eyelashes fluttering.

Howard tucked the corner of Elliot’s blanket and rolled up his sleeves, inspecting the red marks on

his arm.

“Look! Corey hit me with the clothes hanger because of you. It’s swollen.”

Realizing Elliot could not see, Howard guided Elliot’s hand to feel the bump on his arm.

“Feel it properly. It’s pretty swollen. Aren’t you being unfair to me if you keep stirring up trouble?

Elliot promptly withdrew his hand, asserting, “I don’t have the habit of touching men.”

Howard chuckled, teasing him, “So, you only have the habit of touching women?”

“I won’t touch any other woman except for Nana!” Elliot said firmly without hesitation.

Howard nodded in satisfaction. “That sounds good. Remember, Nana is the darling of my Lawson family. If you dare to mistreat her or make her sad, all three of us won’t let you off easily!”

Elliot suppressed a smile.

Mentioning Sheena always brought him immense joy.

Downstairs, at the mansion’s entrance.

The National Investigation Bureau officials, blocked by the bodyguards, were confused when Corey emerged.

“Mr. Corey, what are you doing here? Where’s Mr. Jenkins?”

“ME.

Wearing a stern expression, Corey replied, “He has a cold and fever. I’m taking care of him on behalf of my sister. If you have any business, speak to me.

Perplexed, the officials hesitated. “Mr. Corey, you oversee the National Affairs Bureau, and Mr. Jenkins usually handles matters for the National Investigation Bureau. Moreover, this involves the National Investigation Bureau’s classified information. Please let us in to meet Mr. Jenkins.”

Corey maintained his fierce demeanor, eyeing the documents they held.

Slowly extending his hand, he said, “Give me the files. I’ll personally deliver them to him.”

“No, besides passing the files, we must report to Mr. Jenkins in person!”

Corey frowned, obviously displeased, and the atmosphere turned tense.

“No need for a report as he can review the files himself. I have no interest in your National Investigation Bureau documents. Unless… you’re doubting me?”

“No way! Mr. Corey, you would never do such a thing…”

Corey was uninterested in listening to nonsense.

“Hand them over!”

Under his imposing pressure, the officials reluctantly handed over the documents.

“Now get lost,” Corey dismissed them, turning to head back into the mansion.

Just a few steps in, the entrance stirred with commotion again.

Peter arrived, accompanied by his men, and Stanley trailed behind.

“What’s going on with Elliot lately? Even Uncle Grant can’t reach him. Why is he putting up such airs? I’ve come to invite him personally, and if he dares to stall me, his grandpa might have to come next!”

Peter scolded the bodyguards sternly, intentionally speaking loudly.

Corey furrowed his brow even tighter, walking back to the entrance.

Seeing Corey, Peter was slightly surprised but greeted him with a smile.

“Oh, what are you doing here?”

Considering Peter was an elder of the Jenkins family, Corey controlled his anger and responded politely, though not without irritation.

“It’s getting cold these days, and Elliot caught a cold and has a fever. Nana has been busy lately, so I came to help take care of him.”

Peter nodded politely. “I see.”

On the side, Stanley muttered, “Why is he acting like he’s bedridden? It’s just a minor illness, and he can still walk. Grandpa has invited him multiple times, yet he keeps finding excuses not to come. He’s clearly doing it on purpose!”

“Mr. Corey is right here. Don’t speak recklessly!” Peter reprimanded him after he finished, feigning

concern.

He then smiled again at Corey, adding, “But it’s true that Elliot keeps avoiding the senior members of the family, and it’s rather impolite.”
