Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 729
Hearing Sheenaâs voice, the girl turned to look at her, and her exquisitely beautiful face lit up with a warm smile.
âMs. Lawson, long time no see. How are you and Mr. Jenkins on this New Yearâs Eve?â
âWeâre doing well, thank you. Itâs New Yearâs Eve. Arenât you participating in any countdown specials? Why arenât you with your family? Who allowed you to enter Mountville?â
âThe guards at the foot of the mountain let me in. Ms. Lawson, please donât misunderstand. My endorsement contract with the Jenkins Groupâs Project Rossi is about to expire. When I heard Mr. Jenkins was here, I came personally, hoping he would consider giving me another endorsement opportunity.â
Sheena narrowed her eyes skeptically. âMs. Sheila, youâve been the reigning Best Actress and a popular star. Do you have to personally handle your own contracts now? What are your agent and company doing?â
âWell, the endorsement contract with the Jenkins Group is not easy to secure. My agentâs team might be unable to handle it, so I didnât want to miss this lucrative opportunity. Naturally, I had to make a personal visit.â
Sheena stared at her, clearly not buying her story. If she indeed came looking for Elliot and found her way to Mountville, then her source was impressively accurate.
Sheila smiled.
Despite being under twenty, her gaze was much shrewder than her peer Jacinthaâs.
Glancing at the mansion, Sheila said, âMs. Lawson, your family gathering today seems lively. Would it be fine for me to come in and join?â
âWeâre all family. Itâs not suitable for you to join us.â
Sheena promptly refused, not bothering with pleasantries.
âAlright, it seems you have a deep bias against me.â Sheila did not feel awkward and maintained her
smile.
âItâs getting dark. Iâll have the guards escort you down the mountain. Elliot is busy and probably wonât discuss endorsement collaborations with you anytime soon. Please leave.â
Sheena had no interest in continuing the conversation and dismissed her guest.
Inside the mansion, Corey was concerned as Sheena had not returned, so he came out to find her.
The moment he saw Sheila, his eyes slightly narrowed.
âWhat are you doing here?â

Hearing Coreyâs questioning tone, Sheena turned, looking puzzled.
âDo you two know each other?â
Sheila remained silent, and Corey showed no extra expressions.
âNo, weâre not. I just saw her a few times on TV. Nana, itâs cold outside. Come Inside with me.â
Corey had come out wearing a small fox fur cape, and he promptly draped it over Sheena, holding her
close.
He then instructed the guards at the entrance, âEscort this young lady down the mountain.â
After giving the orders, he tightened his hold on Sheena, leading her back to the mansion without sparing a glance for Sheila.
Sheila did not leave. She stood at the entrance for a long time and silently watched them.
The cold wind tousled her hair, concealing the chill in her eyes.
Only when the two figures completely disappeared from sight did she turn and leave, accompanied by the guard on her way down the mountain.
On the way back to the mansion, Sheena had been observing Coreyâs expression. She noticed that his face turned grim ever since he saw Sheila, yet it was difficult to discern what he was thinking.
Sheena tentatively asked, âCorey, you seem to dislike Ms. Sheila.â
âItâs not about liking or disliking. Weâre not acquainted.â Corey maintained a stoic expression and added, âInstead of concerning yourself with these trivial matters, why not worry if Elliot will be okay.
later?â
Indeed, Sheilaâs matters were less important compared to Elliotâs situation.
Sheena did not delve into it further and immediately entered the mansion.
Noah and Corey had already prepared carefully crafted drinks, placing three neatly arranged glasses
in front of Elliot.
Sheena quickly approached, scrutinizing the liquid in the glasses.
The color was transparent, resembling fine wine. However, knowing her brothers so well, Sheena was well aware that Noah would not simply let Elliot drink three glasses of plain wine.
