Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Just as the tension between them peaked, a series of voices suddenly sounded from outside the door. Soon, the clamor grew louder, as if people were arguing.

Sheena frowned, casting a cold glance at the kidnapper before stepping out to investigate. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

The commotion was getting closer, and Sheena looked toward the source of the noise, only to find two familiar figures.

“What are you doing here?” Howard’s face was icy as he glared at Elijah, clearly displeased and annoyed.

Elijah was not in the mood to talk with him. Impatiently, he retorted, “Do I need to report my whereabouts to you whenever I go somewhere? Or do you have a peculiar liking for tracking other people?”

Seeing the tension between the two escalate as if they were about to come to blows any second, Sheena could not help but feel exasperated. Then, she stepped in between them to intervene.

“Why did you both come?”

“Nana, you’re always making us worry,” Howard grumbled, flicking her nose. “Auntie Gloria told me you were going out to fight, so I followed. What happened? Do you need help?”

“It’s already over. It was just five guys. They’re hardly a match for me,” Sheena replied with a faint smile.

Even though Elijah knew Sheena was a skilled martial artist, he was still surprised to hear that. After all, facing five opponents alone was not something just any woman could do.

His curiosity about her intensified, and he grew even more intrigued by her background. Elijah was increasingly convinced that her origins were far more complex than that of an ordinary orphan adopted from the orphanage, and he looked at her with a hint of scrutiny. On the other hand, Howard remained unfazed, as if he had expected this outcome all along. With Sheena leading the way, Howard and Elijah followed her into the cabin with their respective bodyguards.

The kidnappers‘ leader barely recovered and sat on the ground, catching his breath. However, his relief lasted only moments before this intimidating entrance shattered his composure once again.

Howard glared at the kidnapper and said, “Do you know who I am? I’m Howard Lawson, and you’ve got some nerve to mess with someone I care about. Today, you’ll learn the hard way what it means to provoke me,”

Elijah was irritated by Howard’s “someone I care about” remark. Then, he gestured with his hand, and several bodyguards immediately restrained the struggling men on the ground. “And I’m Elijah Freeman. How dare you hurt my ex–wife,” Elijah said.

Upon hearing their names, the kidnappers‘ leader trembled and kneeled on the ground, repeatedly begging for mercy.

“Please! I was just following orders for money. I don’t have anything personal against this beautiful lady. I made a mistake. Please spare my life! I’m innocent! I swear!”

He had not imagined that Sheena was backed by Howard and Elijah! With his long experience in this line of work, he had heard countless tales of how ruthless they could be, and he regretted it deeply.

The three of them continued to look at him coldly, staying silent.

Sheena approached him, emanating an intense aura of dominance. “Who instructed you to kidnap her?”

“I–It was a woman who hired me! She wanted me to kidnap Phoebe and text you, asking you to come here. S–She promised me 150,000 dollars if I succeeded. I thought the money was good, and you’re just a young girl, so I took the job. Please, believe me! I never intended to harm you!”

He would not have dared to do this if he had known that so many influential men were backing her!

“And who is that woman?” Sheena continued to press.

“I truly don’t know her identity! In our line of work, we just do the job for the money, and we don’t concern ourselves with the rest!”

Terror gripped the kidnapper’s heart, as he begged even harder and blood stains appeared on his forehead.

Sheena crouched slightly, her aura terrifying as she asked, “Which hand and foot did you use “Which hand and foot did you use to beat her up?”
