Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Elijah frowned, wondering when he had ever said anything about abandoning her.

Why would she have such thoughts?

Elijah was puzzled and wanted to run after her to clear things up, but Jennifer grabbed onto his suit pants tightly.

“Eli… I’m sorry,” Jennifer pleaded. She started to explain pitifully, “I was just afraid. I was afraid that you would fall for Sheena during the three years that I was away. I was afraid that you wouldn’t want me anymore.”

Elijah frowned. He noticed the slight swelling on her cheek, and his expression soon softened. He reached out to help her up and his tone became gentler. [1

“I told you that I’ll marry you. The divorce was bound to happen sooner or later. You were too hasty.”

Jennifer clutched at his sleeve and pouted. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t mean to harm anyone. I just used the wrong methods, Eli, can you forgive me?”

Seeing him remaining silent, she leaned into his embrace meekly, purposely exposing her slender shoulder.

Elijah pushed her away immediately.

“Eli!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Jennifer’s eyes reddened even more, and she stared at him resentfully.

Jennifer could not accept the fact that Sheena got close to him the previous night while she was not able to.

“That’s enough.”

Elijah held her hand, then stared at Jennifer coldly.

“Jenny, I never expected you to resort to such tactics or use those hurtful words. You used to be so innocent.”

Jennifer froze, realizing that she had genuinely angered him.

Elijah was a man with strong principles and boundaries. Once those boundaries were crossed, he would only grow more disgusted with her.

“No! That’s not it! I’m sorry. I realize my mistakes! I was careless. Eli, please don’t forget that I saved you back then! Please give me a chance,” she pleaded.

When she mentioned the favor from years ago, memories of her saving him flashed before his

eyes.

She was so petite, yet she was determined to protect him.

Elijah’s gaze gradually softened and said, “I’ll let it slide this time. Just don’t do it again.”

Jennifer felt relieved and was about to lean on him, but he held his palm up.

“Hand over the key.”

She stiffened. Just as she was about to defend herself, Elijah cut her off, “I know Leon gave you the key without my knowledge. Hand it over.”

Leon O’Connor was Elijah’s assistant who had been with him for many years.

Caught in the act, Jennifer had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the key.

“Stop coming to this mansion. I’ll arrange a new place for you soon. It’s been a long day, so go back to the hotel and rest up.”

Before Jennifer could speak, Elijah called the driver to send her back

Once Jennifer left, Leon, who had been waiting in the garden, cautiously entered the living room and stood before Elijah, awaiting his instructions.

Elijah stared at Leon and warned him coldly, “Stop meddling with my affairs. You’ll be fired if you do that again.”

“Understood, Mr. Freeman.‘

Elijah adjusted his tie, feeling irritated. Then, he took out his cigarette and took a puff. However, the image in his mind kept flashing back to the look Sheena gave him before leaving.

That cold, icy, piercing gaze.

Was she determined in the divorce because she was being wrongfully accused?

Moreover, she put up a tough front the entire time, not asking for a single penny.

Did she really think she could survive without any money?

Elijah couldn’t care less about Sheena, yet an inexplicable feeling of anger and discomfort weighed on his chest.

“Send someone to find Sheena and report back to me immediately. Also, transfer the ownership of this mansion to her name as compensation for the divorce.”

“Yes, Mr. Freeman.‘

Sheena found the address of Angle Group online and went there straight with her luggage in tow. Since she had agreed to take over the company, she wanted to familiarize herself with the situation and complete the handover as soon as possible.

At the company’s entrance, Sheena approached the receptionist and said, “Please inform the current CEO that I want to see him.” 2

The receptionist’s expression froze instantly as she scrutinized Sheena from head to toe. She was amused at the audacity of this pretty lady dressed in cheap clothes to demand a meeting with the CEO.

“Do you have an appointment?”

Sheena shook her head and said, “No.”

The receptionist almost burst into laughter. “This is the prestigious Angle Group, and you need an appointment to meet our CEO. A nobody like you should know your place!”

Sheena frowned at the rude receptionist and asked, “Is this how you usually treat your guests?
