Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 509

hapter 509 

Katie staggered back in shock, and Angus quickly caught her. 

Tearfully, she protested, “What does that bitch have that I don’t? Regardless of family background, appearance, or education, how can she compare to me? I’m the most suitable match for you!” 

“Katie, even if all the women in the world were gone, I still wouldn’t marry you!” Howard’s gaze remained frigid, his disgust evident. “Let me be clear with you. Leave with your people, and don’t tarnish my mansion!” 

With tear–streaked cheeks, Katie glared resentfully at Phoebe. 

“Howard, are you going to end our engagement again for this little tramp? You’ll regret this!” 

Through gritted teeth, she left with her entourage. 

Once Katie was gone, Sheena approached Howard, asking in disbelief, “Howard, were you serious just now? Do you really like Phoebe?” 

The news was too sudden, and Sheena was still trying to process it. 

“Did I just set myself up for a bizarre script where my best friend becomes my sister–in–law? Howard, don’t play with my emotions like this!” 

Howard did not directly answer her question but said, “Nana, it’s getting late. You should go to work first. I need to talk to Ms. Chamberlain alone.” 

“Alright.” Sheena glanced at Phoebe, who seemed equally confused. 

Once the living room was empty except for Howard and Phoebe, he closed the door, striding over to 

the sofa. 

“Ms. Chamberlain, please have a seat.” 

“Oh, okay.” 

Phoebe awkwardly took a seat on the small sofa, maintaining 

some distance. 

Perhaps sensing the tension, Howard opened a drawer, retrieved a cigar, lit it, and took a deep breath. Under the swirling smoke, his deep and magnetic voice became even more captivating. 

“Please don’t take the recent events too seriously. I just want to discuss a collaboration with you.” 

Phoebe looked puzzled. “What collaboration?” 

“As you might have noticed, I don’t like Katie. So, I want you to pretend to be my lover and help me break off the engagement with the Upton family. In return, I’ll assist you in securing a stable position in the entertainment industry, help you become a leading actress, expose Caleb, and even hand him over to you if you want to deal with him personally.” 

Phoebe remained silent as Howard continued, “I’m sure Nana has promised you many benefits, but 1

know you do not like to owe favors. Nana has always been supportive of you, and you feel indebted Moreover, Nana’s career in the entertainment industry is rising, but I’m already at the top. Our collaboration is mutually beneficial, with no debts between us.” 

Phoebe sighed in relief, finding comfort in his words, 

Puzzled, Howard asked, “What’s wrong?” 

Smiling, Phoebe shook her head. “Nothing. I just feel fortunate that you don’t genuinely like me. It eases my conscience, as I would have felt guilty for interfering in someone else’s relationship.” 

Howard remained expressionless. “So, is that a yes?” 

Phoebe nodded, her gaze determined. “Yes, I’m honored to collaborate with you!” 

“Good. I’ll have Yuri arrange for lawyers to draft the agreement. When the time comes, you just need to cooperate with me.”
