Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 

An hour later, Sheena estimated that Elijah was about to wake up and entered his room. She had a chair brought in by the bodyguards and sat beside his bed, waiting with an unreadable expression. 

Elijah woke up in a haze, his vision still blurry. However, as he turned his head, he caught sight of the familiar figure by the bedside and instinctively grabbed her wrist. 

“Sheena, have you forgiven me?” His fever had not completely subsided, and his touch was radiating warmth. 

Sheena frowned but did not pull away from his grip. However, her eyes carried a strong sense of disgust. “I’ll ask you one last time. Where did you send that person?” 

Upon hearing this, Elijah’s grip slowly loosened. Seemingly angered, he turned over, facing away from her, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep as if intentionally ignoring her words. 

Sheena’s patience had been completely depleted. “Since you’re so stubborn and won’t speak, I won’t waste any more time. You sent that person away, and I’ll make you pay. Why don’t you endure the punishment for their sins?” 

After saying this, she called out, “Ford, John, come in!” 

The two men entered the room obediently. Sheena smirked and ordered, “Take him to the prison, and make sure to pay him extra attention!” 

Ford immediately stepped forward, pleading, “Ms. Lawson, you shouldn’t do this! With Mr. Freeman’s current health condition, he won’t survive more than three days there!” 

Sheena glared at him. “Fine, then you go in his place. I’ll give you extra attention too.” 

Ford hesitated, and suddenly, his sympathy was suppressed. Reluctantly, he followed John to pull Elijah out of bed. 

Elijah’s body was still burning with fever. When he was half–asleep with his back to Sheena, he vaguely heard her mention prison. 

As Ford and John approached, he broke free from their grasp, adamantly refusing to get out of bed. He looked at Sheena with a bewildered expression. “I just sent Colin out of the country. I didn’t send him to prison. Whose punishment am I supposed to bear?” 

Sheena chuckled coldly. “What does Colin have to do with this? Do you think you can divert the issue by bringing up unrelated matters? Take him away!” 

Elijah was stunned, quickly realizing he might have misunderstood something from the previous night. Just as Ford and John received the order and forcibly pulled him off the bed, he strategically leaned in Sheena’s direction, ending up sprawling at her feet. 

Sheena instinctively moved her feet backward.

Elijah missed his mark, looked up, and spoke earnestly, “Although I’m not sure which incident you’re referring to, besides the Colin matter, I haven’t done anything else!” 

Sheena gritted her teeth, pinching his cheek and reminding him word by word, “Last night, you admitted to taking Jennifer away. Now, you deny it. Don’t you think it’s too late?” 

“Jennifer?” Elijah was confused. “Isn’t she in prison?” 

Sheena pursed her lips, choosing not to respond, her gaze still ice–cold, as if waiting to see how long he could keep up the act. 

Elijah knew she did not believe him, so he continued, “Sheena, I didn’t do this. The reason I wanted a divorce before was because I mistakenly thought the girl who saved me thirteen years ago was Jennifer. Later, I found out it wasn’t her. I even asked you once, don’t you remember?” 

Sheena thought for a moment. It seemed to be related to the incident when Jennifer was severely injured and hospitalized. He defended her in front of the media and asked about that old matter. 

“What are you trying to say?” 

Elijah stared at her with teary eyes and replied, “Since then, I knew Jennifer had deceived me. Recently, I found out that you were the girl who saved me. So, Sheena, believe me, everything I’ve done during this time has been sincere.” 

He coughed twice, adding, “I just didn’t like that Colin was going to propose to you last night, so I quietly took him away. I genuinely did not know about the Jennifer incident!” 

Sheena, observing his earnestness and recalling the peculiarities of the previous night with Colin, began to consider whether the two incidents were just a coincidence.
