Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Sheena’s smile froze instantly.

As their eyes met, Corey nervously gulped, anxiously waiting for her response.

Sheena stared at him for a while before finally speaking, “I accept your apology, but as for forgiveness … I’m only here to visit Dad today, and I don’t want to discuss other matters.”

The glow in Corey’s eyes dimmed.

He raised Sheena, so he knew her refusal when he saw it.

After a moment of disappointment, he forced a smile, replying, “Alright, I’m willing to wait until the day you can fully forgive me.”

Sheena stared at him, saying nothing.

Just as she was about to turn and leave the altar room to see Albert, Barbara suddenly came running down the stairs from upstairs, her voice filled with grief.

“Honey! Dad… Dad’s monitor flatlined!”

Her words were like a thunderbolt, shocking the entire Mountville.

Sheena’s eyes reddened instantly as she sprinted upstairs, with Corey supporting his knees to stand up and follow behind her.

Howard, who was in the living room, also rushed upstairs upon hearing Barbara’s cry.

“Dad!”

Echoing the same desperate, hoarse cries, the family rushed to Albert’s bedside.

He was no longer breathing, but his expression was peaceful.

Noah sat beside Albert, his usually cold face now tear–streaked with grief.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy with sorrow. Sheena leaned against the door frame, tears streaming uncontrollably, her heart aching in pain.

Her grief–filled gaze abruptly turned fierce, and he grabbed her phone and called Paul.

“Mobilize every member of the Dark Bell organization. We must find Sheila! I want to witness her death!”

Noah and Howard took care of the arrangements for Albert’s funeral together.

Due to her pregnancy, Sheena could not participate in these matters and was swiftly taken back home by Elliot, who comforted her.

They had searched for a full two days and nights, yet there was no sign of her. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Sheena’s anger burned, but she restrained herself for the sake of her babies. She held back her temper and summoned Howard to her mansion.

“Howard, we still haven’t been able to locate Sheila until now. However, her mistakes led to Dad’s death, and I’m determined to make her pay the price.”

Howard naturally understood.

“Nana, what do you want to do? I’ll fully support you.”

Sheena looked up, her gaze cold at the thought of Sheila’s face.

“Release a news report of her death, stating that during her travels, she received the tragic news of Dad’s death, and in her grief, she accidentally fell into the river and drowned.”

Howard was taken aback. “You want her never to be able to return to the Lawson family and not to live under the name ‘Sheila Lawson’?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I got you. I’ll take care of it for you.”

Albert had passed away, Corey stepped down from his responsibilities, and Sheila disappeared, never to be seen again.

The entire Lawson family was now under Sheena’s management, and it had been peaceful.

In the quiet days, time seemed to fly by.

Eight months later, Sheena, with her pregnant belly, still appeared beautiful, and her skin was still as delicate as before.

She sat on the sofa, watching a movie on the big screen projector, while Elliot was cutting fruits for her in the kitchen.

She was deeply engrossed in the movie when, suddenly, the babies kicked her belly.

The pain from the kick caused her body to spasm, and Sheena almost passed out. “Eli!” She struggled to call out for Elliot.
