Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 839
Upon hearing Sheena inquire about her face, the girl instinctively covered the bandaged cheek with
her hand.
âMs. Lawson, my name is Layla Walker. I injured my left cheek a couple of days ago when I fell downstairs. But rest assured, Ms. Lawson, it wonât affect my work, and the wound will heal soon,â Layla explained.
Her voice sounded hoarse and somewhat unpleasant.
Sheena, still cradling the Adora, gently cooed and rocked her.
She averted her gaze from Layla, saying calmly, âYouâre not suitable. You can leave.â.
Lionel moved to escort Layla out, but she remained rooted to the spot, unwilling to accept Sheenaâs decision.
âMs. Lawson, you didnât even ask about my professional qualifications. Are you rejecting me because of my looks? Are you judging people solely based on appearances?â Layla challenged, her tone defiant.
Sheena frowned slightly, raising her head again to meet Laylaâs eyes.
Sensing Sheenaâs growing anger, Lionel hurried to pull Layla away.
âWhat are you saying? Who goes jobâhunting with such an attitude? Itâs not about your appearance. Youâre just trying to guiltâtrip us.â
Lionel dragged Layla a few steps toward the door.
Sheena, still in bed, finally spoke up. âThere are four reasons why I donât want you.
âYour voice is unpleasant, which might scare the babies, you donât look at me with respect, your gaze is piercing and lacks warmth, and most importantly, I simply donât like you. Therefore, I donât need to assess your competence.â
Sheenaâs tone was matterâofâfact, cutting through the air like a knife.
Lionel chimed in, âGot that? You should accept it now. Please leave.â
With no other option, Layla turned and left.
As she reached the doorway, she glanced back with a sly smile and taunted, âMs. Lawson, are you truly at peace?â
Then, Layla left.
Lionel stood in place, momentarily stunned before quickly apologizing to Sheena.
âIâm sorry, Sheena. Iâll be more cautious next time and not bring in any oddballs.â
Sheena made a casual acknowledgment and continued to soothe Adora in her arms.

However, the girlâs parting words echoed unexpectedly in her mind, replaying over and over.
The look Layla gave her before leavingâ¦
Sheena suddenly realized something and turned to Lionel with urgency, shouting, âQuick! Go after that girl who just left. Make sure to bring her back!â
âYes, Iâm on it!â Lionel replied promptly, his expression serious as he dashed out of the room.
Feeling a sudden unease, Sheena hurriedly called Elliot, who was diligently working in the study.
âYes, honey?â
âWhereâs Asher?â
Elliot glanced down at the baby sleeping in his arms. âHeâs with me. Whatâs up?â
Sheena breathed a sigh of relief. âNothing, just carry on with your work.â
Ending the call, she glanced out the window, hoping she was just overthinking.
Fifteen minutes later, Lionel returned. âSheena, I couldnât find her. She left in a hurry and
disappeared after leaving the Jenkins estate. I checked a few surveillance cameras, but no luck. She vanished from the cameraâs blind spots.â
A cold tension filled the room.
Sheena pondered for a moment.
Did Layla avoid the surveillance cameras intentionally or unintentionally?
âWhich agency did you get her from? Dig into her work records thoroughly. We need to find her. I want to question her myself,â Sheena ordered sternly.
$
âYes, Sheena, Iâll handle it.â
Later that evening, the two babies slept in the middle of the big bed, separating Sheena and Elliot on either side.
Elliot occasionally comforted the babies while stealing glances at Sheena, who seemed lost in thought as she stared at Adora.
