Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

Realizing something was wrong, Elijah opened the door and found no one at the computer desk. 

“Sheena?” Elijah entered the room and investigated. 

The gasping sounds were coming from under the desk! 

He swiftly lifted the tablecloth, revealing Sheena curled up in the confined space, her face unusually flushed and sweaty. 

He crouched down, gently touched her neck, and realized she was burning up. 

Sheena was… 

The coffee on the desk was only halfway consumed, and the sugar packets in the tray had been torn open. Elijah immediately recalled Faye’s unusual behavior when he visited the Freeman mansion hours ago, putting the pieces together. 

“Damn it!” He carefully pulled Sheena out from under the desk.

Seeing Sheena’s head about to hit the bed corner, Elijah acted quickly. Disregarding his own safety, he embraced her neck and pulled her into his arms, using his back to cushion the 

impact. 

“Ouch!” 

His back forcefully crashed into the bed corner, worsening the swelling from the previous injury. The pain was so intense that he broke into a cold sweat, almost fainting on the spot. 

Before he could process the pain in his back, Sheena slapped him again. She had broken free from his embrace, flattened his upper body on the floor, and pressed her knee firmly against his chest, gripping his collar. 

Sheena glared at Elijah with overwhelming hatred, shouting, “Elijah! You’re despicable and

shameless! Those sweet words tonight were just an act! Did you think drugging me would make me lose control, giving in to your filthy desires? Dream on!” 

“Sheena, calm down. This situation—”
