Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277 

Ford and Paul found themselves immobilized by the crowd, hesitant to use force and risk injuring bystanders. Moreover, these were not ordinary people. They were well–known figures from the upper class. 

Seizing the opportunity, Bethany exchanged a meaningful glance with Jennifer. 

Understanding Bethany’s signal, Jennifer quickly wriggled free from the bodyguards‘ restraint while the crowd diverted their attention, swiftly darting away. 

The bodyguards, alarmed, were about to give chase when the enraged crowd blocked their path. 

Sawyer fumed, “Are you blind? Even if you disagree with Ms. Sheena taking someone away, you shouldn’t let an escaped convict like her go!” 

Bethany smirked and said, “No need for you to chase after her. I’ve already informed the police. She won’t get far, and the police will handle her. So, there’s no need for Ms. Sheena’s watchdogs to get involved.” 

Watchdogs? 

Sawyer and the others seethed with anger. However, they held their tongues since Sheena remained silent. 

Sheena appeared grim. 

Elijah, noticing her expression, called out softly, “Sheena.” 

She glared at him coldly and said, “She’s yours, so…” 

Before she could finish, Elijah interrupted her, “She’s not mine!” 

Unfazed, Sheena continued, “Regardless, you’ll handle this matter. Once it’s resolved, we’ll return to the mansion.” 

Elijah knew she was still upset. He hoped to reach out and plead with her, but he was interrupted by Lionel’s sudden arrival. 

“Mr. Freeman, I’m sorry for being late.” 

Elijah’s face darkened swiftly. Suppressing the urge to turn around and hit Lionel, he calmly instructed, “Jennifer ran toward the secluded path out back. She’s injured and won’t get far. Go after her.” 

“Yes, Mr. Freeman.” Lionel sprinted off in the direction Elijah indicated. 

Elijah took a moment to compose himself, intending to reach for Sheena’s wrist again, only to find her calmly evading him., 

Sheena directed her gaze toward Ford and Paul and ordered, “Disperse the crowd and let the gala continue.” 

With the main actors gone, there was little entertainment left. 

The crowd quickly dispersed, and Sheena approached Bethany. Her beautiful eyes radiated. coldness as she locked eyes with Bethany. 

Then, Sheena smirked and said, “Ms. Carver, considering our past resentments, I merely planned to let the Carver family suffer a financial setback. If you behave yourself, I might spare your life. However, if I find out that you conspired with someone to cause trouble, the consequences might be more than you can bear.” 

Intimidated by the warning look in Sheena’s eyes, Bethany hesitated for a moment. After a few seconds, she composed herself and responded with a smile, “Ms. Sheena, don’t be rash. The outcome is still uncertain!” 

Sheena chuckled. “I’ll be waiting.” 

With that, Sheena, accompanied by Ford, a few bodyguards, and Skye, left the charity gala without looking back. 

Left alone, Elijah attempted to catch up, but Bethany blocked his path.
