Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 665
Caesar truly regarded Nathaniel as his brother, so he remained silent.
Harrold, engaged in light conversation with other dukes nearby, unexpectedly noticed the situation. He approached with a stern expression, his steps heavy,
âCharles, donât forget your lowly status! Do you even deserve Caesarâs respect?â
Nathaniel was displeased at Harroldâs arrival and retorted, âLord Gale, please donât forget that Princess Kelly adopted me. In a way, I am Caesarâs brother.â
Bringing up this matter only worsened Harroldâs expression. He snorted and walked away with a champagne glass.
The magnificent banquet hall featured a string quartet playing elegant melodies that quickly dispelled the earlier unpleasant atmosphere.
In Caesarâs skyâblue eyes, there was only Sheena.
He gracefully extended his hand and asked, âMs. Lawson, may I invite you to a dance?â
Sheena was about to respond, but Nathaniel interrupted, âInviting my companion to dance? Caesar, are you serious?â
He cast a cold glance at Caesar and slowly reached out his hand to Sheena.
âNana, everyoneâs having fun on the dance floor. Should we join them?â
Observing both men, Sheena looked from one to the other, grabbed the cuffs of their suits, and placed their hands together.
âIâm not very good at dancing. You two have fun. Iâll take a quick trip to the restroom and be back soon.â
Nathaniel, concerned, insisted, âThe palace is huge, and you might lose your way. Let Jamie escort you.â
Sheena frowned. âHaving Jamie, an adult man, accompany me to the testroom? Thatâs too strange. I can find my way. If I canât, Iâll ask a servant along the way.â
âButâ¦â Nathaniel, still worried, suggested, âHow about I accompany you, then? Iâll wait outside.â
Silently trailing behind them, Lionel quietly gasped.
Nathanielâs vigilance was formidable, and he was not easily fooled.
Just as Sheena pondered how to refuse without arousing Nathanielâs suspicion, Kellyâs servant approached Nathaniel.
âSir, Princess Kelly wants to talk to you.â

Sheena seized the chance, saying, âPrincess Kelly must have something important to discuss. Go ahead, Iâll just head to the restroom. Whatâs the worst that could happen?â
Nathaniel, torn, ultimately compromised. âAlright, stay safe. Iâll find you soon.â
Sheena nodded in agreement.
Nathaniel immediately followed the servant out.
With him gone, Sheena approached Caesar, whispering, âWhere did Lord Gale go? Please take me to him. I have urgent matters.â

Caesar nodded solemnly. âMs. Lawson, follow me.
Harrold had been waiting in a separate lounge. Once Sheena entered, Lionel casually patrolled the corridor, keeping watch.
Caesar was also dismissed by Harrold, and he chatted with Lionel outside.
In the room, Sheena greeted Harrold, âHello, Lord Gale. Time is ticking, so let me get straight to the point.â
Harrold sat upright, nodding.
âI believe youâre willing to meet with me because youâve already investigated my background. Our cooperation is straightforward. I help you secure the taxâfree trade privilege for Froania from my brother, and you help me obtain what I want. A mutually beneficial arrangement.â
Harrold stroked his beard, his murky eyes fixed on her.
âAs youâve seen, as a duke and Princess Kellyâs husband, my status is exceptional, and the taxâfree trade privilege doesnât particularly interest me.â
Sheena smiled. âNo need to beat around the bush, Lord Gale. Youâve been suppressed by Princess Kellyâs status for half a lifetime, and gaining the taxâfree trade privilege means you can quietly establish economic independence under her watchful eye, eventually breaking free from her control.â
She paused for a moment, then continued, âOr, if you find this offer not enticing enough, I can help you⦠kill Charles!â
Harroldâs eyes narrowed slightly, displaying confusion. âHeâs about to become your husband, yet you want to kill him?â
