Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Nathaniel lowered his gaze, and his long lashes veiled his deep blue eyes as if he had pondered deeply.

“I believe that every Jack has his Jill. If you two genuinely love each other, I’ll wholeheartedly support you. As for the engagement ceremony formalities, they’re just for show.”

Howard met Nathaniel’s gaze, listening intently.

“Nathaniel, if you ever consider taking control, all the resources under my company’s ownership will fully support you,” Howard offered, their gazes meeting, each filled with determination.

Life seemed to be gradually falling into place for everyone.

Later in the evening, Sheena called Elliot, informing him that she would be attending a business gala

alone.

The event would be attended by several CEOs of major foreign corporations.

Recently, Sheena has been strategizing the export trade for the Lawson Group.

The Lawson family was now Froania’s wealthiest, with Sheena becoming the country’s only female

billionaire.

While Elliot had played a significant role in this, Sheena’s ambitions extended beyond.

She aimed to open the doors of the Lawson Group’s trade to foreign countries and had an even bigger

goal of becoming the world’s richest person.

Tonight’s business gala included Dorvell Corporation, ranked among the top three globally.

Rumor had it that they were launching a new collaborative project and seeking partners. Sheena was

determined to secure a spot at the event.

However, Elliot felt uncomfortable having her attend the gala alone.

“I’ll put Romello’s case aside for now and continue tomorrow. I’ll join you tonight.”

‘No need. You’ve been handling Romello’s case for so long, and it’s time to wrap it up. I’ll also maintain distance from other men and avoid any behavior that might suggest cheating.”

As she spoke, her tone turned colder.

Although she was not dwelling on past events, the lack of trust felt like a lingering discomfort, a small

thorn in her side.

Whenever she thought of it, it always left her feeling uneasy.

Elliot keenly sensed that something was amiss with Sheena.

“Honey, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just… worry about those men out there.”

He always used this excuse, and Sheena was tired of hearing it.

“Have you forgotten that I hold a black belt in martial arts? Most men couldn’t even come close to me

Elliot insisted, “It’s not just about that. There are many deceptive men out there who might not resort to violence. Some might even feign weakness, In any case… the outside world is full of dangers. It’s much

safer with me by your side.”

Indeed, the world was not just about deceitful women. Some men were equally skilled at putting on a

show, making them hard to guard against. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Seeing his firm stance, Sheena sighed. “Alright then, you finish up your business at the National Investigation Bureau, and I’ll head to the banquet. Join me once you’re done.”

It was already a compromise on Sheena’s part.

If Elliot did not agree to this, he would seem unreasonable.

“Okay, I’ll go along with your plan.”

Once they compromised, Sheena left work early and made a trip to the mall, carefully selecting a fiery red tasseled evening gown.

The dress was bright, sensual, and eye–catching–perfect for her goal tonight to outshine everyone and

secure the cooperation deal with Dorvell Corporation.

At 7:30 p.m., the banquet commenced at the Majesty Hotel.

Sheena was stunning in her red gown, complemented by bold red lips and exquisite makeup. She exuded

confidence and allure, commanding attention wherever she went.

The attendees were all top–tier CEOs from both domestic and international high society, and even the

smallest contract could be worth millions.

Sheena made her entrance perfectly timed, básking in the spotlight as it followed her every move.
