Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)

Chapter 37

As Sheena observed his expression, she figured he must have also discovered the mastermind behind

this incident.

So, was he bare specifically to hold her accountable?

Elijah remained silent as he continued to stare at Sheena.

Instead, Leon stepped forward and said, “Ms. Sheena, you’re too harsh!”

Despite the divorce, they were once her mother–in–law and sister–in–law. Even if they did something

wrong, Sheena should not have tormented them like this!

Leon found Jennifer much more favorable due to her kind image.

Sheena glanced at him but did not argue. Instead, she looked at Elijah and asked, “Is that what you

think too?”

Elijah frowned. Just as he was about to reply, Faye heard the commotion at the entrance and rushed

over. She clung to him while accusing Sheena angrily.

“Eli, look at what this vicious woman did to Erin! She even ruined our house! You must send her to

prison! I want her to be locked up and repent for a lifetime!”

Elijah became increasingly annoyed.

Everyone’s eyes were on him, seemingly waiting for his decision.

Sheena also stared at him, calm and composed, ready for Elijah to protect Faye.

Faye grew more triumphant, convinced that Elijah would side with her!

She eagerly anticipated Sheena’s downfall!

Amidst the varied gazes of the onlookers, Elijah took two steps closer to Sheena.

The bodyguards immediately stood before Sheena, but she waved them back as she wanted to see

what he would do.

Elijah stopped in his tracks, leaving about half a meter of distance between him and Sheena.

He sighed and slightly lowered his head toward her.

“They were the ones who attempted to harm you first, and your revenge against the Freeman family

was justifiable. I apologize for their immaturity on their behalf.”

His words stunned everyone present!

Even Sheena fell silent.

She had anticipated his anger and protectiveness, but she never expected him to not only support her

revenge but also apologize on their behalf.

It was the first time she saw him being rational, responsible, and acting like a true man.

Faye could not stand it anymore and grabbed Elijah, throwing a tantrum without caring about her

surroundings.

“You’re my son! How can you not help me and support this bitch instead? Can you bear to see

her ruin Erin and me like this? How can you be so heartless? I don’t care! You must do something

about this. Otherwise, I won’t acknowledge you as my son! You’re simply ungrateful!”

Elijah stood still, letting her vent her anger. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Faye later realized that Elijah was unmoved by her antics. She grew even more frustrated and tried to

change at Sheena. It was then that Elijah shot a sharp look at the servants who were watching the

scene unfold.

“Madam Freeman is not in the right state of mind. Take her back to her room and call the family doctor

to check on her.”

Leon received the order and quickly arranged for the servants to take the grumbling Faye back into the

mansion.

At the same time, they carried Erin, who was lying unconscious on the ground in the garden, back into

the house.

The other servants scattered to clean up the mess.

Only Elijah and Sheena remained outside the mansion, along with the ten bodyguards she had

brought.

Sheena felt uncomfortable under his gaze, not knowing what he was thinking. Hence, she looked

away.

“I’ll let you off for what you did before and punish them lightly. Otherwise, I would have handed the

evidence over to the authorities, and they would be in trouble.”

Then, she took out the neatly arranged evidence. She took a look at it and said, “However, I’ll keep the

evidence in case they try to provoke me again. I won’t hesitate to use it then.”

Seeing her cunning smirk, Elijah could not help but smile.

She was like a clever little fox, deceitful and ruthless.

Sheena noticed he was also smiling and wondered what he was thinking. However, her expression

instantly turned cold, and she warned, “You better keep an eye on them and make sure they behave. If

they dare to provoke me again, I’ll also hold you accountable.”

With that, she left with her bodyguards.

After Sheena left, Elijah walked through the mess to check on Erin.

The family doctor had arrived and was examining Erin’s injuries.

Faye had calmed down a bit and sat beside Erin’s bed, sobbing softly.

When she saw Elijah enter, she grabbed the hem of his clothes and pointed to Erin’s bruised and

swollen knees with sadness in her eyes.

“Look at her! Don’t you feel sorry for her? Erin is the apple of my eye, forever cherished and pampered,

but that bitch hurt her! How can Erin bear such humiliation? If you don’t help her, she’ll definitely be

depressed! Do you really have the heart to watch your sister suffer?”

Faye kept rambling and crying.

As a mother, she knew her son could not stand to see her suffering.

Sheena had been too audacious this time, and Faye felt the need to teach that girl a lesson!

She could not let this go!

Elijah remained silent, staring at Erin’s gruesome knee, seemingly lost in thought.

Before coming here, he had asked the servants about the incident with the stolen jewelry, where Faye

had intentionally framed Sheena.

Elijah felt a pang of pain in his heart.

So, did Sheena ask for a divorce because she had been unhappy in the Freeman family?

Suddenly, the image of her kneeling in the rain with her petite but stubborn figure flashed in his mind.

Erin’s knee swelled like this after just a short time of kneeling. How swollen were Sheena’s knees that

night?

Even so, she never complained to him about any of these things.

“Eli! Are you even listening to what I’m saying?”

Faye shook his arm, interrupting his thoughts.

“Don’t forget that your dad entrusted your sister and me to you. Now that he’s gone, you can’t just

ignore our well–being because you’ve gained control of the Freeman family!”

Faye tried to play the victim, resorting to appealing to Elijah’s sense of responsibility and promises,

refusing to believe he would still defend Sheena.

Elijah turned to look at her but responded with a different question, “How did you all treat Sheena in the past? Give me a few examples.”

Faye was taken aback, not expecting him to be concerned about that.

“All that happened years ago. You and Sheena are already divorced, so what’s the point of bringing

them up? Besides, as a mother–in–law, what’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson? Did she complain

to you? She’s truly a shameless bitch!”

As she finished speaking, she noticed Elijah’s face darkening completely, so she quickly changed the

subject to divert his attention. “My dear Eli, look at the bruises on my arm and the fact that your delicate

sister was treated this way. Can you bear to see us being tormented like this?”

“Alright.” Elijah smiled, but his gaze was cold. “I know what to do now.”

Faye felt relieved and tightened her grip on his arm, asking, “Really?“
