Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886 

“Alright, I’ll take care of all the guests for you, don’t worry,” Romello said softly. 

Phoebe nodded and turned to leave the stage, with a servant immediately stepping forward to assist her up the stairs. 

Howard moved to follow, but Elliot held him back firmly. 

“Let go!” 

Elliot did not release his grip, preventing him from losing control. 

Sheena stood up as well. 

“Mr. Romello, Howard isn’t feeling well today. We’ll take our leave.” 

“Sure,” Romello replied calmly as Howard was led away by Sheena and Elliot. 

The atmosphere in the car on the way back to Howard’s mansion was tense. 

All three of them were reflecting on what had happened at the banquet. 

Sheena offered a rational analysis, “Phoebe’s behavior was indeed strange. Just now, she had to be helped down the stage by a servant and seemed unsteady on her feet. It appears she’s truly unwell.” 

She continued, “And she didn’t even glance at me once, which is very odd. We’ve known each other for years since the orphanage, and she’s always treated me like a sister. I was sitting right next to Howard, so it’s impossible for her to completely ignore my presence.” 

Howard kept his head down, his fists clenched tightly, silently holding back his emotions. 

Elliot chimed in, “Nana, did you notice? Although her makeup was flawless tonight, you could still see the fatigue in her eyes, as if she hadn’t rested well.” 

“Yeah, it’s really strange. She’s a girl with strong character. Since she’s with Howard, she wouldn’t easily move on, and she wouldn’t be interested in Wayne, a middle–aged widower.” 

Sheena advised, “Howard, don’t rush. We need to carefully find out what happened to Phoebe tonight, and whether Romello said or did anything to her.” 

Howard listened quietly. 

His mind was filled only with Phoebe’s words of agreeing to be with Wayne. 

That sentence echoed repeatedly in his mind, accompanied by Phoebe’s cold gaze. Moreover, his heart was also in turmoil. 

Howard was escorted back to the mansion by Sheena in a daze, clutching her wrist tightly, his eyes red as he pleaded. 

“Nana, I want to give 15% of my shares in the Lawson Group to the Nicholls family as an engagement 

Kim.”

Sheena sighed, commenting, “Howard, you’re not calm enough right now. You can’t make any decisions at the moment. Let’s take a couple of days to think this through, okay?” 

“How can I be calm?” Howard gripped her wrist tightly, filled with regret, his voice trembling as he spoke 

“I was wrong. I should’ve married her regardless. I was too greedy, thinking that by restoring her status as a wealthy heiress, we could be socially accepted without question. I knew she wasn’t willing on the surface, but deep down, she longed for her family’s love. That’s why I encouraged her to return to the Nicholls family. Romello has no affection for her at all. He treats her like a commodity. Tonight’s events were definitely forced by Romello. It’s all my fault. I’ve pushed her into this mess with my own hands. I’ve betrayed her.” 

His eyes were red and swollen, his emotions increasingly gloomy as he fought back tears.
