Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 971
The two bodyguards returned from E&S Haven to the Nicholls residence, one limping while the other supported him.
They knocked on Romelloâs study door.
âCome in.â
The two men entered, visibly struggling
âWhatâs going on? Whereâs Gabrielle?â
âMr. Romello, Ms. Gabrielle is staying at the Jenkins estate and wonât be coming back.â
Romello set down his pen, raising an eyebrow. âWell, isnât that convenient? Then why are you two back here?â
The bodyguards grimaced.
âMrs. Jenkins forced us out and had Ford and a few others beat us up, telling us to go
back to where we came from.â
Romello threw a teacup at them.
The teacup shattered at their feet, the sound echoing with anger as Romelloâs frustration
boiled over.
âYou worthless bunch! Get the hell out of here!â
His face darkened as he rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on
Phoebe was being monitored closely, and Gabrielleâs naivety caused more harm than
good.
It was a troublesome situation.
He opened a drawer and retrieved a colorless, tasteless crystalline substance resembling rock candy.
Inhaling deeply, he felt the intense stimulation soothe his nerves, bringing him some relief.
A knock interrupted his thoughts.
Romello hastily stashed the crystal away and composed himself.
Chapter 931
The door opened, and Frank approached respectfully, handing something over to Romello.
Romello glanced at the thing and found it was a rooftop key dirtied with mudâthe same key he had given Frank.
âWhere did you find it?â Romello asked.
âIn the garden, buried in the soil, hidden under the bushes. Only a tiny bit of gold trim was showing, so it took us all night to find it.â
Romello picked up the key, his fingers smudged with dirt.
The pleasurable sensation from the crystalline substance calmed his nerves, and it was rare for him not to lose his temper immediately.
âUncle Frank, tell me your theory.â
âDuring last nightâs banquet, only Mr. Nathaniel came close to me when he accidentally bumped into me. I suspect he deliberately buried the key to avoid suspicion.â
Romello listened attentively, analyzing the situation methodically,
âIt wasnât buried intentionally, as Nathaniel wouldnât leave such obvious traces. If he had buried it, it would have been deeper, perhaps hidden for years without being found.
âSo, he likely intended to return the key discreetly but realized I was onto him and hastily threw it out of the room, leading to this situation.â
Frank nodded in agreement. âThat makes sense.â
Romello chuckled oddly, his eyes gradually turning cold, quickly replaced by seething
anger.
In a fit of rage, he overturned all the documents on his desk, even smashing the
computer.
âNathaniel, that bastard!â
The key was in his possession, and he must have also stolen the missing potion from the rooftop.
Just as he expected, Nathaniel had conspired with Sheena to plot against him!
The consequences would be dire if the potion ended up in Elliotâs hands.
