Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 918

Chapter 918 

After saying that, Romello turned around and swiftly left. 

“Romello!” Elliot called out, but there was no response. 

Romello was determined to rush back to the Nicholls residence. 

Glancing at his wristwatch, Elliot noted that Sheena and Lionel’s search probably had not concluded yet. 

With a cold expression, he quickly got up and left the National Investigation Bureau, heading toward the Nicholls residence by car. 

Meanwhile, the soldiers from the Fourth Division were meticulously searching, pretending to be thorough but not damaging any furniture in the mansion. 

“Captain, there’s an update!” One of the soldiers ran out of the mansion and saluted Lionel. 

Lionel responded, “Speak.” 

“The top floor is locked, so we couldn’t search it.” 

Lionel immediately turned toward the butler standing nearby, who looked panicked. 

“Absolutely not! The top floor is where Madam Nicholls rests. She’s currently sleeping, and you cannot disturb her! Besides, there’s no way the earrings could be hidden up 

there!” 

He 

e remained resolute, adding, “The top floor is a restricted area set up by Mr. Romello himself. Even Gabrielle isn’t allowed up there. If Mr. Romello finds out the top floor has been searched, he’ll be furious! Besides, he’s the deputy chief of the National Investigation Bureau. Are you not afraid he’ll hold you accountable for this intrusion?” 

Lionel seemed somewhat conflicted, discreetly glancing at Sheena’s expression. 

Even Sheena had not anticipated the butler’s staunch attitude and remained silent for a moment. 

Suddenly, a soldier hurried over to Sheena and whispered something in her ear. 

“Mrs. Jenkins, Ms. Phoebe isn’t in her room. 

If Phoebe was not in her room, it meant she was indeed on the top floor! 

Sheena glared at the butler, her demeanor growing increasingly firm. 

“Those earrings of mine are now rare collectors‘ items, worth over a hundred million on the market. If Gabrielle truly stole them, the punishment for her crime won’t be light. If you want to clear her name, you’d better step aside.” 

Lionel chimed in immediately, “If you persist in obstructing the National Investigation Bureau’s investigation, I’ll have no choice but to charge you with hindering official duties and have you arrested.” 

The butler was taken aback by 

Why was he suddenly arrested? 

the sudden turn of events. 

The bodyguard tried to call Romello but could not get through, unsure if Romello would 

even return. 

He definitely did not want to spend a few nights in a National Investigation Bureau holding cell… 

Growing increasingly anxious, the butler reluctantly relented. 

“Fine, I’ll open the door. I’ll take you up.” 

Sheena and Lionel exchanged a glance before following him upstairs. 

Upon reaching the top floor, the butler retrieved the key, his hands trembling with hesitation at the secrets within. 

Seeing his reluctance, Lionel decisively took the key from him and opened the door 

himself. 

As it was already nighttime, the hallway on the top floor was shrouded in darkness, with no lights illuminating the way.
