Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Nathaniel reclined on the sofa, smirking as he stared at Elijah. His demeanor was languid, exuding a captivating charm. Having investigated Elijah’s subordinates, Nathaniel knew he was not dealing with an ordinary individual as Elijah’s records were too immaculate, sparking suspicion.

“I am merely Elijah Freeman, nothing more,” Elijah responded..

He gracefully sat on the sofa beside Nathaniel, sitting straight. He subtly glanced at Nathaniel and immediately noticed his exposed chest muscles and collarbones, accentuated by the alluring blue eyes.

Even as a man, Elijah could not deny Nathaniel’s captivating beauty. He could not help but think Sheena must find him appealing too,

The memory of Nathaniel mentioning years of affection with Sheena, along with Sheena’s complex gaze at the police station, crossed Elijah’s mind.

Did Sheena have feelings for Nathaniel at some point?

Nathaniel, noticing Elijah staring at his body, smirked. “I’m possessive of what’s mine. If anyone dares to touch what’s mine, I’ll chop the person off and reclaim my possession. Do you understand?”

Elijah chuckled at how arrogant Nathaniel was.

Pouring himself another glass of wine, he savored its exquisite taste and challenged Nathaniel, “You can try, and I’ll play along. But Sheena isn’t anyone’s possession. I’ve learned that firsthand. She’s independent and stubborn, her decisions unaffected by others.”

“Of course, but I can guide her choices, just like last night,” Nathaniel retorted, sitting up and locking eyes with Elijah. “I taught her marksmanship. She’s intelligent and a quick learner. I was behind her last night, observing her every move.”

Elijah realized what Nathaniel was implying and frowned.

Nathaniel continued, “If she didn’t want to harm you, she could ensure your safety. effortlessly. So, there’s resentment and even murderous intent toward you in her heart. To her, you’re just a pet– rewarded for obedience and punished for disobedience. She stopped loving you a long time ago.”

“Think about her expression the first time she saw me. She still has me in her heart. Once our misunderstandings are cleared, your existence as a pet will lose its meaning. Get it?” Nathaniel provocatively added.

Elijah stayed silent, completely caught off guard by Nathaniel’s remark.

Nathaniel enjoyed Elijah’s expression, smiling arrogantly. However, the next moment, Elijah smiled too.

“As expected of the head of the Special Investigation Department. You’re skilled in sowing discord and psychological warfare, able to grasp people’s vulnerabilities and tear them apart, leaving their hearts bleeding.”

At Elijah’s words, Nathaniel stared at him intently, recognizing that this man was far from NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

simple.

“I bet there’s more to this meeting, right?”

Nathaniel smirked and responded, “Don’t you want to know how much weight you carry in her heart? In the face of life and death, does she care more about you or me?”

The two men locked eyes, one unreadable and cold, the other devilishly charming.

Sheena and Sarah were in the middle of a meeting when a commotion erupted in the hallway. The noise grew louder, prompting them to exchange glances before getting up to investigate.

Outside, a well–dressed man was arguing with a female assistant.

Sheena inquired, “What’s going on?”

The assistant hurriedly explained, “Ms. Sheena, I told this gentleman that you’re in a meeting with Ms. Peterson, and it’s inconvenient for you to meet any visitors. Yet, he insists on barging in. I barely managed to stop him!”

The man turned around and bowed respectfully to Sheena, greeting, “Ms. Sheena.”

Sheena scanned his face, feeling a sense of familiarity. “Are you one of Nathaniel’s subordinates?”
