Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 

1/2 

Elijah’s heart suddenly ached, and those words pressed down on him so hard that he could hardly catch his breath. He remained stunned for a while, unable to utter a word. 

Seeing that he seemed fine, Sheena forcibly released his hand and went upstairs to her room. 

Elijah watched her figure leave and, turning around, saw the carefully prepared table of food from last night, still neatly arranged and untouched. The presentation was still exquisite, but the dishes had gone cold, much like his heart. 

Soon, a sense of indescribable loss and guilt surged within him. 

Sheena changed into a new outfit and came downstairs. She noticed him standing there, lost in thought, in the stairwell. She lightly cleared her throat, pulling him back to reality. 

“Quickly finish your meal and change into clean clothes. After that, we’ll head out for a bit.” 

“Where to?” Elijah asked. 

Sheena smirked as she said, “The Freeman residence.” 

A loud bang echoed. 

The owners of the Freeman residence who were still asleep were startled awake by this unexpected noise. Wilfred hurriedly brought his wife, Annie Freeman, downstairs to check on the situation. 

His daughter, Coco Freeman, was also frightened. Running downstairs, she asked, “Mom, Dad! Was that an earthquake? Did we just experience an earthquake?” 

The three wore bewildered expressions and only realized the commotion in the living room when they reached the ground floor. Sheena sat on the main sofa, pouring tea, and appearing to be the 

mistress of the house. 

Four handsome and tall bodyguards stood disciplined behind her sofa, and Elijah stood at the side. The group was intimidating, looking as if they were there for debt collection. 

Wilfred and his family stared at each other, all looking utterly confused. As they approached, Sheena smiled and said, “Mr. Wilfred, it seems your family hasn’t been doing well lately, even laying off your servants. In such a grand Freeman residence, there isn’t even someone to make me tea. I had to trouble my bodyguards.” 

Wilfred knew she was deliberately pointing out their shortcomings but had no way to refute them. The Freeman residence had relied on monthly dividends from the Freeman Group shares to get by. With the Freeman Group in the state it was after Bethany and Faye’s poor management. Having it return to its former glory would take who knew how long, and there was not much in dividends for 

them.

So, during this period, they all lived a more frugal lifestyle. 

Wilfred appeared grim and spoke in an unpleasant tone, “Is this how you enter someone else’s home? Don’t you know how to knock? What was that loud noise just now? What did you do?” 

Annie quickly realized the situation and rushed to inspect, wincing at the sight. “Oh dear! Look at my door! You’re too much!” 

Sheena tilted her head, giving a small, helpless smile. “Mr. Wilfred’s door has worn out with age. When my bodyguard John knocked, he used just a tiny bit of force, and it fell apart on its own. Oh well, I’m just helping Mr. Wilfred clean up the mess.‘ 

Wilfred was furious.
