Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Jacintha was very light and slim. Her tiny legs kicked as she struggled. However, she could not seem to escape Elliot’s grasp.

Lionel ran over hurriedly, nervously rubbing his hands, lacking confidence.

“Mr. Jenkins, 1-1 was just joking with her.”

Elliot looked at him, suppressing his anger, and ordered, “Hurry up and take your girl away! If you dare to bully her again, and she comes running to Nana to complain, I’ll handle it by martial law!”

“Don’t! No more next time!”

Bringing out martial law as a threat indicated that Elliot was genuinely angry.

Lionel, looking completely submissive, took Jacintha back from Elliot’s hands.

Jacintha pouted, tightly encircling Lionel’s neck with both hands, her eyes threatening him fiercely.

“Did you hear that? I’ve got someone backing me up now. If you dare to casually say you don’t want me again, Mr. Jenkins will use a little whip to straighten you out!”

Lionel and Elliot were both caught off guard by her comment.

Sheena covered her mouth and could not help but chuckle.

Jacintha was indeed a cunning little troublemaker, with a personality quite similar to hers.

Considering Lionel was somewhat clueless and naive in relationship matters, he might be in for a tough time in the future…

Sheena walked over, lightly tapping Jacintha’s nose, and correcting her choice of words, “That’s not how you use that word. It can be a bit ambiguous.”

“Ambiguous? Like a little fun between a man and a woman?”

Jacintha thoughtfully glanced at Elliot and then at Sheena, mischievously smiling.

“Last time, Lionel said you’re harsher than Mr. Jenkins. Does that mean you can straighten out Mr. Jenkins too?”

Elliot and Sheena did not respond.

This time, Lionel could not help but stifle a laugh.

“Let’s go. Why can’t you keep your mouth shut? If you keep going, Mr. Jenkins will get angry! When that happens, he might beat you up!”

Lionel carried Jacintha and walked toward the car, quickly stuffing her into the passenger seat.

Sheena sighed and smiled helplessly, her small hand reaching out to hold Elliot’s fingers tightly intertwined.

“El, you’re usually so well–behaved. How could I bear to straighten you out, right?”

Elliot’s mood improved considerably, nodding in satisfaction.

They both took the back seats together.

In no time, the four of them returned to the Jenkins estate.

Jacintha kept chattering along the way, entertaining everyone with her lame jokes and creating a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter.

Navigating through the winding alleys of the Jenkins estate, they spotted a graceful figure waiting outside the mansion before reaching the entrance of E&S Haven.

The woman’s skin was impeccably cared for, almost ageless, adorned in a couture outfit, displaying an elegant demeanor.

Yet, Sheena could not place the face. She had never met her,

The woman at the entrance noticed them approaching and smiled, addressing Elliot intimately, “Eli, it’s been a while.”

The affectionate address made Sheena instinctively furrow her brow.

She considered loosening her hand from Elliot’s, but he held onto it tightly.

Elliot looked at the woman with a slight surprise in his eyes.

“Auntie Tania!”

Auntie Tania?

MOAS

Santiago’s youngest daughter, Tania Jenkins, was in her thirties. She had always been abroad and was not keen on marriage.

With the approaching New Year, Sheena guessed she had returned for a family reunion.

Sheena secretly felt embarrassed as she had initially thought Elliot might be involved with another young lady when she noted that Tania had maintained herself exceptionally well.

Taking a step forward, Elliot introduced Sheena to Tania, “Auntie Tania, this is my fiancee, Sheena Lawson.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Auntie Tania,” Sheena smiled, greeting politely.

Tania then looked at Sheena and froze, displaying clear displeasure.

“You? You’re actually Eli’s fiancee?”

Sheena was bewildered, exchanging a glance with Elliot.

Neither of them understood Tania’s implication.

“I’ve always been Eli’s fiancee. Auntie Tania, did you hear something outside?”
