Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Katie turned to Angus and ordered, “Beat them and tie them up for me! Bring them back alive!”

Angus did not dare to move. “Ms. Upton, she’s the daughter of the Lawson family!”

Everyone knew that Sheena’s father and brothers doted on her.

She was the apple of the Lawson family’s eye, making her untouchable!

Katie, in her rage, paid no attention. “Do as I say, and I’ll take responsibility if anything goes wrong! If you don’t dare to act, get out of my Upton family immediately!”

Angus, with no choice, reluctantly signaled the bodyguards.

The two pulled out electric batons prepared in advance, closing in on Sheena and Phoebe.

Sheena glanced at their weapons, shielding Phoebe securely behind her. When she looked at Katie, her gaze turned icy to the core.

“If you dare to harm me in any way in the Lawson estate, I guarantee you and your men won’t leave. Mountville standing. Give it a try.”

The Upton family bodyguards hesitated, reluctant to advance.

Katie disdainfully chuckled. “I’m Howard’s fiancee. He’s harboring a mistress in his mansion, an insignificant woman. Even if Uncle Albert comes personally, he won’t stop me.”

“As for you,” she continued, “if my bodyguards accidentally injure you, I’ll personally apologize to Uncle Albert. I know you’re skilled in Brazilian Jiu–Jitsu, but fighting barehanded against electric batons might be a bit challenging, right?”

Katie giggled.

The bodyguards immediately maximized the electric baton’s current and swung it forcefully.

From behind, Phoebe forcefully pushed Sheena out of the way, taking the brunt of the electric baton herself.

“Phoebe!”

Sheena, unprepared, staggered back a couple of steps before regaining her balance.

Just as the electric baton was about to strike Phoebe, a swift sound, like a rushing wind, came from the open doorway. In the next moment, the back of the bodyguard’s hand was pierced by a dagger, blood gushing out. The electric baton dropped to the floor, and the living room echoed with his painful howls.

“Ms. Upton, how dare you cause a commotion in my own home. Aren’t you overestimating yourself?”

A deep, angry voice resonated from the garden.

This familiar voice left Katie breathless with fear.

Why was Howard back?

She was confident she saw him leaving Mountville moments ago!

All eyes turned toward the entrance as Howard walked in. His usually gentle face had now turned gloomy. If he had not forgotten some urgent meeting files and rushed back, he might have remained oblivious to Katie’s disgusting behavior in his mansion.

“Howard, our engagement was arranged by our families long ago. Even if you’ve been reluctant to marry me for all these years, attempting to break off the engagement twice, the final outcome is clear. Even if you refuse to admit it, I’m your fiancee!”

Howard did not spare her a glance, walking past her to check on Sheena and Phoebe.

“Any injuries?”

The two shook their heads.

Katie, feeling completely ignored, became even more upset.

“Last time in Farlem, you argued with me and wanted to call off the engagement for Sheena’s sake. I endured it because she’s your sister. But this time, you quietly cohabited with another woman. Where do you place the dignity of both the Lawson and Upton families?”

Sheena could not help but frown when she heard Katie’s words.

Was this woman delusional?

She had already clarified that Phoebe’s situation had nothing to do with Howard. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sheena was ready to explain, but Howard spoke first, his tone ice–cold.

“The dignity of both the Lawson and Upton families was compromised long ago, especially when you schemed to engage with me. Your presence in my life has only bred disgust.”

His stern gaze fixed on Katie, he continued, “However, you guessed one thing right. I like Phoebe, and I intend to marry her. So, your engagement to me is nothing but a joke. This time, I’ll go to any lengths to call off this marriage.”

As Howard finished speaking, not only did Katie freeze, but Sheena and Phoebe also stared at him in
