Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 

Someone shouted, suddenly interrupting them, and breaking the tension

Howard’s face darkened as he stepped forward, forcibly separating the two and swiftly 

punched Elijah in the face

Elijah could not dodge in time, grunting in pain as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips

Sheena was then safely hiding behind Howard. While she was concerned about Elijah being. hurt, she could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction

A single punch was too light a punishment for someone who dared to bully her! Instead, he should have been tortured mercilessly

Mr. Freeman, I heard you already have a new girlfriend, so why are you still bothering your ex -wife? Isn’t that inappropriate?Howard chuckled lightly, reverting back to his usual gentlemanly demeanor as if he did not just punch someone

Elijah looked straight at Howard, showing no signs of weakness despite the injury. Even so, she was once my wife. Mr. Lawson, why are you so protective of her?” 

He emphasized the words my wifelike an arrogant lion facing an enemy that threatened its prey, asserting his dominance

Obviously, Elijah was still unaware that Sheena was Howard’s sister, which was why he was so protective of her

The smile faded from Howard’s face, but he refrained from speaking further as Sheena tightened her grip on his arm. Instead, he scoffed and replied, “Mr. Freeman, Sheena is an independent person, and she has the right to choose who she wants to be with. Why do you feel entitled to claim her as yours?” 

They stared at each other, neither yielding an inch, as if they were engaged in a battle of wills. Tension ran high, and neither side was willing to back down

Sheena was fed up with this hostile atmosphere. She had worked all day, and she just wanted this to end

Coughing twice to get their attention, she said, It’s getting late, and tomorrow is a workday. Mr. Lawson, Mr. Freeman, you should both leave.” 

Elijah saw that she was about to leave and stepped forward to stop her

Howard moved forward as well, blocking Elijah with a threatening look in his eyes

Nonetheless, they were not in Elijah’s company’s territory, and he could not act as he wished. Hence, he smiled and turned to Sheena, You must be hungry. How about having dinner together tonight and we can talk things over?” 

Sheena responded without hesitation, I’m not hungry. I’m not eating, nor talking with you!” 

Elijah’s expression instantly turned sour. Meanwhile, Howard could not help but chuckle

His little princess had always been straightforward and assertive

Seeming to have gained the upper hand, Howard provocatively locked eyes with Elijah, but his words were directed at Sheena. Nana, it’s getting dark. Let me send you home.” 

Sheena turned around and witnessed the intense gaze between the two men once again

She sighed inwardly, Here they go again.‘ 

She wished the heavens would just take both of them away and give her some peace of mind

Sheena let out a tired sigh, then said, No need for that. I’ll familiarize myself with the route.‘ 

With that, she quickly got into her small Volkswagen Santana and sped away

Meanwhile, the two men in the car park continued their confrontation
