Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

Sue blushed, realizing that Sheena was humiliating her. However, she did not back down and retorted loudly, “Ms. Sheena, it seems that you have some personal motives behind this proposal. Otherwise, why would you be so defensive? You’ve only been in the company for a few days, and you’re already pushing for such a costly proposal. It’s quite suspicious. Mr. Lawson, I suggest conducting a thorough investigation into her!” 

Howard slammed his coffee cup on the table with a loud thud. “I agree with this proposal.” 

A buzz of murmurs filled the room, and everyone was looking at Sheena in a different light. However, only Sue was elated, seemingly oblivious to who Howard was referring to. 

“Really? Mr. Lawson, do you actually agree with me to investigate Ms. Sheena?” 

A stifled chuckle slipped out from someone. 

Everyone knew who Howard’s words were directed at, except for Sue, who seemed oblivious. 

Howard scowled, “If you say one more word, you can leave immediately, and don’t bother coming in tomorrow.” 

Sue’s face turned pale, the stark contrast between her expectations and reality leaving her stunned. 

It was only after a gentle reminder from someone nearby that she reluctantly sat back down. 

The meeting continued, focusing on the detailed elaboration of Sheena’s proposal. 

Sue listened quietly, but she wanted to find a place to hide from the humiliation. At that moment, she was filled with jealousy toward Sheena, and it felt almost suffocating. 

Why was Howard not interested in her? 

If she had an affair with Howard, she would be the one enjoying his protection and affection! 

Suddenly, the balding Henry appeared in Sue’s mind. 

Just the idea of having to secretly put up with someone as disgusting as Henry made her feel even more resentful. 

Yes! Henry! 

Sue believed that given Howard’s attitude toward Sheena, something fishy must be going on with Henry’s mysterious disappearance, which definitely had something to do with Sheena! 

Sue brooded over that for a while. 

The latter half of the meeting proceeded smoothly without Sue’s interruption. 

After Howard announced the adjournment, he and Yuri were the first to leave. 

The others followed suit, gradually emptying the conference room. 

As Sheena packed up to leave, her document folder was suddenly held down by a hand with bright red nails. 

Sue smiled and said, “I have something I’d like to discuss with you, Ms. Sheena. Please stay for a while.” 

Sheena did not say anything, but she did not refuse either. Both of them remained in the meeting room until most of the people had left. 

Sue whispered, “Why didn’t Henry attend the meeting? Where did he go? Did you have something to do with this?” 

“Henry? Well, he’s never returning to the company again,” Sheena said casually. 

“What?”
