Wait, She’s a Billionaire

The crowd was in an uproar!

“Oh my goodness! What a shocking revelation!”

There were rumors about Elijah having a secret wife for three years, and that person turned out to be Howard’s companion?!

Moreover, the situation seemed fishy judging from their conversation and the look in Sheena’s eyes when she glared at Jennifer!

The crowd’s gazes shifted suspiciously toward Jennifer, and she started to feel uneasy.

This unexpected turn of events seemed to have backfired on her. Right then, everyone suspected that she might be the home wrecker in that relationship!

Leon stepped forward to clear up the confusion.

“Please don’t misunderstand. Mr. Freeman and Ms. Sheena are already divorced, and he’s currently in a relationship with Ms. Moore. Let’s all keep this incident to ourselves and spare the Freeman family any further embarrassment.”

After that, the crowd finally dispersed.

Erin regained some strength and pulled on Elijah’s sleeve. Her exaggerated dark eye circles made her look quite comical, but she was still unwilling to let it slide and huffed angrily, “Eli, you must help me! That bitch hurt me. What she did is the same as slapping the Freeman family’s face in public. You have to teach her a lesson!”

Jennifer chimed in, “Eli, Erin was truly wronged tonight. How are you going to deal with Sheena’s actions?”

Elijah’s eyes darkened as he looked at both of them. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Since you insist, let’s go check the surveillance footage first.”

Feeling disgruntled, Elijah walked away.

Erin’s face showed a hint of panic as she subconsciously looked at the surveillance camera on the garden lamppost. She thought the camera could only capture the scene of her being bullied, so there should be no major issues.

With that in mind, Erin and Jennifer followed after Elijah.

Before leaving, Sheena had instructed the Eastern Hotel manager to wait for Elijah and the two ladies. Then, the manager led them to the surveillance room. Before leaving the room, the manager even took an extra look at Erin’s hideous smudged makeup.

Erin was irritated by the manager’s stare and caught up to him, cursing loudly, “What are you looking at? Even with smudged makeup, I’m still better than you lowly peasants!”

The manager hurriedly ran away feeling discontented. ‘Just wait! Your karma will come!‘ He thought to himself.

Inside the surveillance room, the footage started playing.

To Erin’s surprise, she never expected the hotel’s surveillance to include an audio recording too!

Chaple

As Erin listened to the vicious curses and heard how she had initiated the fight, only to be countered by Sheena in the surveillance footage, her face began to lose color.

Elijah’s expression became terrifyingly gloomy, and his anger seemed to be brewing.

Feeling intimidated, Erin tried to explain, “Eli, I can explain.”

However, Elijah completely ignored her and turned to leave.

“Eli!” She chased after him, still feeling indignant. “I might sound rude, but I didn’t have any ‘ill intention! As you can see, she dunked my face into the fountain! I didn’t even touch her!”

Elijah’s face turned grim.

“Erin, others might not understand, but I know you well. What were your true intentions when you pretended to offer her money? Only you know that.”

Erin’s face turned even paler, and she cried in frustration, “I just wanted to teach her a lesson! I couldn’t stand how she was with you while also flirting with other men. I was just standing up for you!”

This statement left Elijah silent, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Erin continued, thinking that she was making progress, “Did you see how intimate she was with Mr. Lawson? They must have started their affair while she was still married to you! She’s a despicable woman; you should teach her a lesson!”

She continued, “How about we use this incident to our advantage? We can remove the audio from the surveillance footage, edit it, and then spread it online, exposing her to public scrutiny and disgrace. What do you think?”
