Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 728
Barbara chuckled, trying to mediate, âHoney, now that this has happened, whatâs the point of punishing Nana? Youâre just concerned about Elliot and still harbor some resentment. How about finding a way to teach him a lesson? What do you think?
Sheena grew anxious as she heard the conversation.
It seemed both Barbara and Noah wanted to âdealâ with Elliotâ¦
She worried that Elliot might end up thoroughly punished with all three brothers involved!
Just as Sheena felt uneasy, Elliot stepped forward, saying calmly, âIâm willing to accept any punishment from the three of you, including the part meant for Nana. Iâll bear them all!â
âEli, donât!â
The combined tactics of these three were unimaginable!
Corey raised an eyebrow and sneered, âAlright, you said it. If you can pass the test, Iâll agree to your marriage with Nana after the New Year.â
Elliot smiled, meeting Coreyâs gaze, âItâs a deal!â
Sheena realized she had no say in this nowâ¦
Could they at least consider the opinion of a pregnant woman?
In the living room, the atmosphere thickened with tension.
Corey chuckled and said, âSince itâs New Yearâs Eve, a joyous festive, letâs just get it over today! If you still can walk back to the Jenkins estate tonight, you pass!â
Elliot smirked, his expression calm. âSure.â
Sheena could not help but panic. âCorey, are you intentionally intimidating him? Take it easy on him! My future happiness is in your hands!â
Corey remained silent, looking serious.
This time, Noah, usually a man of few words, said, âSince itâs New Yearâs Eve, we canât skip the tradition of making a toast. Letâs start with three glasses.â
Elliot tensed, sensing something ominous.
Howard immediately joined Noah, heading to the kitchen to prepare the âtoastsâ for Elliot. As he hobbled past Elliot, he gave his broad shoulders a meaningful pat.
Once they left, Coreyâs stern expression softened, and he gestured toward the sofa on the side, saying, âHave a seat. Tonight might be one of the few chances for you to sit comfortably. Cherish it.â
Facing the unknown challenges from the group, Elliot felt uncertain but obliged to take a seat for now.
Chapter 22
Barbara stood up and pulled Sheena to sit beside her, offering a comforting whisper.
âDonât worry. Your brothers know their limits. Everyone has to get through hardship to get what they want. Since heâs determined to marry you, he has to endure this trial. Let him realize how formidable your family is, and he wonât dare to mistreat you in the future!â
Sheena was left speechless.
She understood that her brothers were doing it for her good, but she could not help feeling sorry for
Elliot.
The entire living room soon fell silent.
Suddenly, a bodyguard entered and reported, âMr. Corey, thereâs a girl outside who has been lingering near the entrance for a while. Iâm not sure if sheâs a guest.â
âA girl?â Sheena was the first to react. âWhat does she look like?â
âVery pretty, dressed elegantly, like a star.â
Sheena figured, âIt must be Phoebe, probably invited by Howard.â
She glanced toward the kitchen, where Howard was still busy and had not brought the drinks yet.
âNever mind, Iâll go get her.â
Corey had no objections.
Elliot added, âStay safe.â
Worried, Sheena glanced at him before heading out to greet Phoebe.
At the entrance, Sheena spotted the girl gazing around the mansion. However, as she got a clearer look at her, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
Once confirmed the womanâs identity, she approached and asked, âWhat are you doing here?â
