Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Lionel O’Connor? The name sounded familiar. 

“What’s his relationship with Leon?” Sheena asked. 

Elijah had no intention of hiding it and said, “Both of them work under me.” 

Sheena propped her chin on her hand, elbow resting on her knee, and tilted her head, observing him up close, appearing particularly charming. 

Elijah’s heart skipped a beat. 

Did she have any idea how captivating she looked with that expression? 

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Sheena spoke, “I can’t believe that even in your current situation, you still have people willing to follow you. You probably have personal assets too, right?” 

Personal assets were one thing. He had many secrets he could not reveal to her right now. 

Elijah felt a bit pleased. “Are you interested in managing my personal assets? I don’t care about money. If you want it, I can hand it all over.” 

Sheena rolled her eyes at him. “I’m not interested in your money. I’m just curious. You could have used the money to redeem the Freeman mansion, at least ensuring your mom and sister have a comfortable life.” 

He lowered his head. “My mom is harsh, and Erin is a spoiled brat. They both mistreat you, so this is my way of punishing them.” 

Sheena was somewhat surprised. “I’m just your ex–wife, and they’re your family. Are you really this ruthless toward them?” 

Elijah had always been principled. “Right is right. I won’t show favoritism. This is an opportunity to temper their characters.” 

While the reasoning seemed sound, Sheena could not shake the feeling that something was off. “Erin, maybe, but Faye is your birth mother. Aren’t you afraid she’ll scold you for being unfilial?” 

Elijah lowered his head even more, his expression hidden from Sheena. After a moment of silence, he said, “She can endure it. If she can’t handle it, I’ll take care of it for her.” 

Sheena found herself appreciating his approach in this matter. 

“I’m going back to Angle Group. Go about with your things,” she said. 

“Okay.” 

Sheena headed toward the door, but she noticed he was still squatting out of the corner of her eye. 

“Why aren’t you getting up?”

Elijah’s face turned even paler. “My legs… are numb.” 

Sheena chuckled and left the room without paying any more attention to him. Before leaving, she informed Sarah about his request for an assistant. Sarah was efficient, and Lionel eagerly reported to Elijah’s office that same afternoon. 

“Mr. Freeman, you really have a way. Now, we don’t need to sneak around for our meetings anymore. You haven’t even raised Ms. Sheena’s suspicions. Impressive!” Lionel said, grinning. 

Elijah originally engrossed in his work on the computer, was suddenly drawn to Lionel’s comment. He looked at him and scolded. “What do you mean by sneaking around for our meetings? I’m dealing with legitimate business here!” 

Without hesitation, Elijah grabbed a pen from his desk and threw it at Lionel.
