Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 867
Romello stared at Phoebe intently, saying, âHowâs that considered trading? Itâs just helping you choose a better husband.â
Phoebe stared at him in disbelief. âRomello, itâs the twentyâfirst century, and we advocate for marital freedom. If regaining the status of a Nicholls family heiress means losing my autonomy and freedom of choice, then Iâd rather spend my life as an orphan in an orphanage!â
Faced with her strong opposition, Romello quickly softened his tone and pulled her back to his side.
âAlright, it was just a discussion with you. Thereâs no need to be so angry. If youâre adamant about it, I wonât force you.
Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief at his words and continued socializing with him.
Meanwhile, Sheena and Elliot were making progress on their end.
With their joint efforts, the Lawson Group successfully secured a major international trade deal, with plans to meet tomorrow to finalize the contract terms.
Elliot shook hands amicably with Carlos Sheffield on behalf of Sheena.
âMs. Lawson, Iâm looking forward to future collaborations with you.â Carlos said politel
Sheena smiled. âLikewise, Mr. Sheffield.â
With the deal sealed, Carlos was quickly whisked away by other guests.
Sheena and Elliot exchanged smiles.
Elliot casually wrapped his arm around her slender waist, whispering, âNana, donât forget about the reward you promised. You canât bail on me this time, no matter what.â
She nodded with a playful smile.
âYou did well tonight, even negotiating the big deal for me. You deserve some credit.â
Elliot gazed at her exquisite face, feeling a surge of desire.
He wished he could just sweep her away and take her back to E&S Haven to enjoy each other fully.
After hesitating for a moment, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, âHoney, how about we slip away early and get down to business? The night is so wonderful. We shouldnât waste it all on. socializing.â
âNo way. We have to do things in sequence.â
Sheena playfully pinched his waist. It was not painful but rather sensual, and her sparkling eyes sent him a clear warning.

âEli, behave yourself and socialize. Iâll go check on Phoebe.â
With a teasing pat on his sturdy waist, she turned and walked away.
Elliot gazed at Sheenaâs graceful figure, sighing silently.
âMr. Jenkins?â
A soft voice beside him interrupted his stare at Sheena.
He turned to see a woman.
âYes?â
Rebecca Lambert seemed slightly taken aback, perhaps not expecting his cold tone.
âMr. Jenkins, donât you remember me? Iâm Rebecca, the third daughter of the Lambert family. We used to sit together for meals before you joined the army.â
Elliot glanced at her casually, only noticing her pink chiffon dress.
He did not even take a closer look at her face, simply replying, âMm, alright.â
His demeanor was dismissive, instantly displeasing Rebecca.
âMr. Jenkins, weâve known each other since we were young. Canât we chat for a while?â
Elliot looked at his glass of wine, his tone cold. âNo.â
Rebecca fell silent.
Sheena, who was on her way to check on Phoebe, halted midway and glanced back in Elliotâs direction.
She thought she heard a girlâs voice calling Elliot when she exited.
Sure enough, she saw a pretty girl standing in front of Elliot.
It seemed like Elliot immediately attracted someone elseâs attention as soon as she left!
With a slight chill in her gaze, she decisively returned to assert her dominance as Elliotâs wife.
Despite being ruthlessly rejected, Rebecca lingered, showing no sign of awkwardness.
