Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 898
Sheena said, âIf we forcefully break in with excuses, itâs bound to strain relations with Romello, so this is a decision weâll only consider as a last resort. Tomorrow morning, Iâll go to the Nicholls residence first, try a gentle approach, and if that doesnât work, then weâll get tough.â
Everyone nodded, agreeing with this decision.
After a moment of thought, Sheena continued, âFurthermore, regarding the engagement, Eli and I tested Romello today. Heâs likely adamant about not backing down, especially considering that if the engagement is called off, the hefty wedding gifts from the Santos family to the Nicholls family would have to be returned in full. Romello values profit above all else, so itâs impossible that heâll fork out
the sum from his own pocket.â
Jacintha gazed at Sheena with admiration, exclaiming, âSheena, it sounds like you already have a plan in mind?â
Sheena smiled slightly, pursing her lips. âSince itâs difficult to approach Romello directly, weâll start with the Santos family, particularly, Wayne himself!â
Everyoneâs eyes lit up.
Elliot tightened his grip around Sheenaâs slender waist and praised, âHoney, youâre truly brilliant.â
The other three were already accustomed to this dynamic, showing no signs of disgust.
Jacintha asked again, âBut if Wayne could afford to spend so much money to get engaged to Phoebe, he surely wouldnât easily agree to break it off, right?â
Sheenaâs expression grew serious. âThe Santos family is involved in the hotel and restaurant industries, and theyâre thriving. Perhaps we can start from there. I recall someone who holds the largest shares in various hotels and restaurants in the industry.â
Howard, who had been silent until now, immediately understood.
Sheena was referring to Corey.
Although Corey had resigned from the National Affairs Bureau and suspended his position in aviation, he still held significant shares in major companies domestically and internationally.
Sheena turned to Howard, adding, âPerhaps you can discuss this matter with him and ask for his
assistance.â
Howard nodded. âOkay, I understand.â
Sheena glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was already late.
âLetâs end our discussion here for today. As for the remaining matters, weâll have to check Phoebeâs situation before making further decisions.â
Lionel tactfully pulled Jacintha to her feet, saying, âElliot, Sheena, weâll head back for now.â
Sheena and Elliot nodded in unison.
Howard remained seated, showing no sign of leaving.
âHoward, itâs late,â Sheena reminded him.
Howard, clutching his stomach in agony, took a deep breath and looked to Elliot for help, his voice
soft.
âElliot, I havenât eaten in the past 24 hours, and Iâm weak with hunger. Could you cook me some supper to fill me up before I leave?â
Sheena hesitated.
Elliot suppressed a laugh, his eyes gleaming.
âSure, itâs rare for you to come around so quickly. Iâll whip up something nice. We can have a couple of drinks tonight, too, while you enjoy your supper.â
Howard swallowed hard, letting out a sigh of relief, âThat would be great.â
Just as they reached the door, Lionel and Jacintha, with their keen hearing, caught wind of the word â supperâ.
They shamelessly turned back.
Lionel chuckled sheepishly, saying, âElliot, Iâm hungry too. Since youâre never short of utensils, Iâm
sure you wouldnât mind. Plus, I can keep you company for drinksâre never short of utensils, Iâm
Meanwhile, Jacintha latched onto Sheenaâs arm, swaying back and forth playfully.
âSheena, Mr. Jenkinsâs cooking is really delicious. Itâs been so long since Iâve tasted it. Why donât you let us stay and satisfy our cravings? Besides, we can also spend some time with the twins.â
Sheena sighed inwardly.
Why was it so hard to send guests away?
Initially, in high spirits, Elliotâs gaze darkened as he watched Jacintha cling to Sheenaâs arm, his eyes.
narrowing.
âHaving a meal here is fine, but touching my wife? Not on my watch!â
