Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Sheena’s eyes widened, appearing anxious. “Perhaps… it’s a… wrong number. Let’s forget about it. and take the medicine first.‘

“Wrong number?”

Elliot, being sharp–eyed, noticed her unease. Doubts began to sprout in his mind.

The ringtone persisted, indicating a caller determined to reach them.

Wearing a stern expression, Elliot stood up to grab her phone. “Let me answer it.”

“No need!” Sheena firmly pressed down on his hand, surprising him.

Why such a strong reaction?

Realizing she might have overreacted, Sheena quickly pulled him back to sit. “Oh, it should be a call from today’s business partner. I forgot to save the number.”

His suspicion persisted. “It’s already 9.30 p.m. What business partner would call at this hour?”

“I don’t know… Let me just answer and check.”

Setting aside the water glass, Sheena took a moment to calm her pounding heart.

As she answered, she lowered the volume.

“Hello, what is it?”

Nathaniel, on the other end, was surprised to hear her tone. However, he quickly understood the

situation.

“Nana, is Elliot with you? Oops, did I call at an inconvenient time, disturbing your lovey–dovey moment?”

Sheena took a deep breath and glanced at Elliot, who was staring intently at her. Then, she walked to the balcony, adopting a colder tone.

“Get to the point.”

“Sure.” Nathaniel smirked and continued, “Tonight, come to the abandoned chemical factory in the eastern suburbs of Svelton before 11 p.m. You can bring bodyguards, but remember, only you can

enter Room 302 on the fifth floor!”

Sheena did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked back at the bedroom.

Elliot was sitting on the bed, unmoving, seemingly lost in thought, and not paying attention to her.

She covered the phone and whispered, “Not now. Let’s talk tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” Nathaniel was obviously displeased. “Do you realize how much effort it took for me to this medicine? If you miss tonight, there won’t be another chance. Even if you threaten to send me

get

back to the high–security prison again, I won’t be able to get it!”

His tone sounded earnest, not like someone deliberately lying.

Sheena pondered for a moment and gave in. “Alright, got it.”

After the call ended, she approached Elliot with heavy steps.

“Eli, I have some urgent business to attend to. I might be back very late… Make sure you rest early, and don’t wait for me.”

Elliot’s expression turned stern as he caught her hand. “It’s cold outside, and it’s quite late. It’s not safe for a girl to go out alone. I’ll accompany you.”

“Did you forget I know martial arts? Not everyone can get close to me. Besides, you’re the one who shouldn’t be going out at night. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

She cupped his face, leaned down, and kissed his forehead.

“Promise me you’ll take your medicine and go to bed early.”

“Alright.”

His serious expression remained unchanged.

Sheena rewarded him with another kiss before picking up a coat from the coat rack.

Elliot stood on the balcony, watching her leave. Once her figure disappeared beyond the courtyard walls, he turned and sat on the bed.

Glancing at the bedside table, he saw the medicine box with more than a dozen pills left.

What could be so important that she left without finishing giving him his medicine and rushed out so urgently at this late hour?

Moreover, Sheena seemed strange tonight, as if she were… lying. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Not only that, but he seemed to have heard a man’s voice on the phone….

His suspicion led him to call Lionel.

“Find out what Nana has been busy with lately, where she goes during the day, what she’s up to, and also…”
