Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

Hearing someone call her name, Sheena looked around indifferently. 

She had anticipated Elijah and Jennifer’s presence. Stiil, ever since Elijah demanded an apology from her at the mansion, she had lost all feelings for him. £1 

To her, the current Elijah was just an insignificant ex–husband. 

With a faint smile, Sheena linked her arm with Howard’s and approached the crowd. 

Jennifer was surprised to find Howard and Sheena approaching them, and she turned to look at Elijah beside her. 

Elijah’s gaze was also fixated on Sheena. He seemed equally shocked. 

He had felt somewhat guilty because of what had happened during the day, but in just a few hours, Sheena had not only had a makeover but also got involved with another man! 

Even so, he had to admit that she looked stunning that night. 

She was breathtakingly beautiful. 

After three years of marriage, he had never known his wife could be this gorgeous. 

Was Howard her new man? 

They had only divorced that morning, and she already found another man in the evening. 

She sure did not waste her time! 1 

Elijah felt strange about it, and his gaze grew colder, showing signs of rage. 

He stared at Sheena as she approached him, waiting to demand a reasonable explanation from 

her. 

Unexpectedly, Sheena and Howard actually greeted the CEO of Joy Media Group with a handshake and a smile, completely ignoring him as if he were invisible! 

Her action clearly showed that she did not care about him at all. 

Howard also seemed hostile. 

Elijah’s expression grew darker, and Jennifer appeared a bit uneasy too. Just moments ago, she had extended her hand and was ready to say something provoking. 

However, Sheena ignored her entirely, stifling the words she had prepared. 

Elijah’s sister, Erin Freeman, was also present. She had been enjoying champagne in the hall and only came out when she heard the commotion at the entrance. Then, she approached Jennifer, leaning in to lightly nudge her on the shoulder. 

“Jenny, how did that bitch get in here?” 

Jennifer’s eyes brightened, and she whispered, “Erin, haven’t you heard? Sheena and Eli got divorced this morning. I guess she already found someone new. I wish her well.” 

Erin’s face gradually turned red with anger. “Wish her well? Bullshit!” 

She glared fiercely at Sheena, who was mingling with Howard. 

“She just got divorced in the morning, yet she’s already here with another man at this prestigious event in the evening. What a bitch! She must have been hooking up with that man even before the divorce! How dare she cheat on Eli? I’m going to kill her!” 

Erin was quick to anger, and she rarely thought things through before she acted. As her rage boiled over, she rushed angrily toward Sheena. 

Jennifer pretended to dissuade her but did nothing to actually pull her back. Instead, she smiled faintly. 

“Excuse me, sir!” 

Erin called out from behind, and Howard turned around to look at her. 

His handsome features stunned her for a moment. 

She never expected Farlem to actually have an outstanding man who could rival her brother in terms of his looks! 

At that moment, Erin’s jealousy and rage toward Sheena peaked. 

Howard glanced at her coldly and asked, “Who are you?” 

Sheena smiled as she approached him and introduced Erin, “This is my former sister–in–law, Erin Freeman. She’s the most snobbish person in the Freeman family.” 

Upon hearing this, Howard’s expression turned even colder. 

Though Sheena spoke quietly, Erin heard every single word, and their intimate gesture of whispering into each other’s ears annoyed her further. 

Suppressing her fierce expression before the handsome man, Erin tried to act like she was giving a piece of friendly advice but intentionally made her voice loud. 

“Sir, you must not let this woman fool you. She’s been married before! She’s not some noble heiress. She’s just a con artist from an orphanage! She’s incredibly cunning. She even had an affair with my grandfather in the past! She… Ah!” 

Her sentence was cut short. Her sharp scream was accompanied by a crisp slap that echoed throughout the banquet hall. 

The entire hall fell into silence. 

Erin held her cheek, staring at Sheena in disbelief. 

“How dare you slap me!”
