Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Chapter 464

“You can actually do makeup? Where did you learn that? Judging by your skills, have you helped other women with their makeup? Did you do the same for

Jennifer?”

The more she spoke, the more solemn her expression became, and her gaze turned icy.

How did the conversation take such a drastic turn?

Sheena grew angrier. “Why are you hesitating? Are you trying to come up with excuses to deceive me? Did I hit the nail on the head?”

Elliot hurriedly denied it, asserting his innocence. “I didn’t, I’m not, I swear. 1 learned to sketch portraits back in the military and thought it might be similar. Besides, we agreed to put the past behind us. Why are you suddenly bringing up unrelated people…”

Sheena continued questioning him, “Are you feeling guilty?”

“No!”

The more he explained, the worse it became.

Elliot keenly felt the chill emanating from her.

Whenever that topic surfaced, he was undeniably in the wrong. Quickly getting up, he assumed a standard military stance, kneeling straight before her.

“I swear, you’re the first woman I’ve ever done this for, and you’ll be the only one,” he declared sincerely.

Sheena locked eyes with him, inadvertently drawn in by his deep gaze. Her small hand grazed his chiseled facial contours. However, thinking about his past. dramatics, she pinched his cheek.

“Elliot, you’re cunning. Your tricks might work on others but not on me. I’ll tame you sooner or later!”

As the words trailed off, she huffed a couple of times, a glint of cold arrogance in her eyes.

“Tame me?” Elliot raised an eyebrow. “Well, that depends on your skills.”

Their eyes locked, both filled with a strong desire for conquest.

As time passed, Sheena accelerated her makeup routine, and Elliot helped her

choose eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick colors, restoring harmony to the atmosphere.

“Nana, do you need help with today’s event?”

“No need. This is the first company I’ve built without the Lawson family’s influence. I’ll rely on myself to establish the reputation of Svelton’s Angle Group. Besides, I aim to surpass you and become the country’s only female billionaire!”

It was a spirited and ambitious declaration.

Elliot stared at her, saying, “In fact, if you want to become the richest woman quickly, there’s a shortcut. Interested in knowing?”

Sheena, curious, glanced at him.

“Marry me. All the assets under my name will be yours.”

Sheena already anticipated him saying something like this, lightly pushing his forehead with her fingertips.

“In your dreams! Don’t think that being engaged means you’ve got me trapped. There are still many hurdles to cross before we actually marry. At least for now, you’ll have a hard time dealing with my brothers.”

Elliot was not discouraged. “I’m good at overcoming challenges.”

Sheena, with a serious expression, patted his shoulder.

“Good luck.”

Before leaving, Sheena reminded him to stay obediently in the mansion to recover. Then, she immediately rushed to Angle Group.

It was still early, and apart from Angle’s employees, it was unusually quiet.

Sheena went through the entire process again, patiently waiting.

The ribbon–cutting ceremony was scheduled for 9:30 a.m., and she had been waiting at the door until 9:10 a.m.

The building’s surroundings remained deserted and quiet, with no guests arriving.

Sheena was puzzled.

There was a list of invitees promised to attend, spanning two full pages. Hence, it should not be this quiet at this time.

Something was amiss.
