Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 865
The eveningâs business banquet took place at the prestigious Welkin Hotel on the 98th floor.
Attendees comprised the reputable figures in Sveltonâs business circles, the elite of society.
As Sheena and Elliot entered, they coincidentally encountered Romello and Phoebe emerging from the elevator right opposite them.
They met at the entrance.
Elliot, being Romelloâs superior at the National Investigation Bureau, received a respectful bow from Romello upon spotting him.
Elliot acknowledged the gesture with a nod of cool aloofness.
Upon seeing Sheena, Phoebe immediately wanted to approach her but was promptly restrained by
Romello.
âPhoebe, there are many people here. Mind your manners,â he reminded her.
Her wish to have a private chat with Sheena was dashed, leaving her to hang her head in disappointment.
Observing the situation, Sheena released Elliotâs arm, walked over, and took Phoebeâs hand, casting a slightly apologetic glance at Romello,
âMr. Romello, I hope you donât mind lending Phoebe to me for a few minutes to accompany me to the restroom. Iâm sure, being the gracious gentleman you are, you wouldnât refuse even these few minutes, right?â
Romello narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Elliot quickly before smiling and agreeing, âOf course, Mrs. Jenkins. How could I deny a request from you?â
With his assurance, Sheena took Phoebe away, leaving the two men waiting at the entrance.
It was not until they were far enough away that Sheena asked, âWhy did you come with Romello? Did you return to the Nicholls family?â
Phoebe nodded. âYes, after much consideration, I decided to return and try to blend in with the Nicholls family. After all, theyâre my family.â
Sheena patted her hand reassuringly. âGoing back is a good choice. You were always meant to be a part of the Nicholls family. It was just unfortunate circumstances that led to so much pain for When you return, you wonât be alone. Youâll have a whole group of brothers and sisters.â
At the mention of her siblings, Phoebeâs expression soured.
Thinking of Vandaâs situation, she tightened her grip on Sheenaâs hand.
you.
âI returned home recently and noticed some unusual things. Our family was having a meal together

the other day, and my momâs sleeves accidentally slipped, revealing red marks on her wrists. It clearly indicates an injury,â Phoebe began.
âThe following days, since Romello didnât come back, I havenât seen my mom again. But I guess doesnât want to see me either. Sheâs been very distant toward me, only giving me the perfunctory treatment one gives a guest, out of consideration for Romelloâs reputation.â
âSheena, many strange things are happening in the Nicholls family lately. But these past few days, Romello found some excuse to take away my phone. Could you please tell Howard about these matters? Heâll know how to investigate,â Phoebe requested urgently.
Listening attentively, Sheena nodded reassuringly. âDonât worry, Iâll inform Howard about everything.â
However, she could not shake off her confusion and asked, âRomello is the current head of Nicholls family and Madam Nichollsâ biological son. Why would he allow her to be injured?â
Phoebe pondered for a moment before shaking her head. âMy mom resides on the top floor, which is always locked at night. I plan to wait until Romello lowers his guard and then go up to investigate.â
âBe careful,â Sheena warned.
âMhm.â
After exchanging a few more words discreetly, they returned without attracting attention.
Elliot and Romello were still waiting at the entrance for their respective companions.
youâre truly blessed. You have a wonderful family with a Mello broke the silence first. âMr. Jenkins, doting wife and beautiful twins, and your career hasnât suffered any setbacks.â
