Wait, She’s a Billionaire

“What?” Elijah frowned, seemingly surprised by her sudden request for a divorce.

She had just drugged him last night! What kind of mind game was she trying to pull on him?

“Are you insane?” Elijah asked.

Sheena shot him a cold look. Despite having a smaller stature, comparable to Elijah’s.

the presence she gave

off was

“Haven’t you always wanted a divorce? Grandpa forced you to marry me back then, but now that he has passed away, no one can stop you from marrying Jennifer. Didn’t you want to make Jennifer your wife?”

Elijah was surprised, wondering if she really meant what she just said.

Noticing the sincerity in her gaze, he snorted a warning, “You better not regret it.”

Sheena sneered. She was determined to see it through. “The only thing I regret is marrying you in the first place.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

With that, she turned and left.

Elijah watched as she walked away.

She used to be docile and gentle, but she seemed to be a completely different person right then.

Could it be that he might be mistaken about what happened the night before?

Then again, who else could it be if it was not Sheena?

The next morning, Sheena and Elijah went to the local court.

Sheena was dressed in shabby, old clothes. She stood beside Elijah, who was wearing a black suit by Prada.

Their mismatched appearance drew curious stares from the people around them.

Sheena paid little attention to their stares. She just wanted to get it over with. In less than ten minutes, their loveless marriage was finally put to an end.

As she held the divorce certificate in her hand, Sheena felt numb.

“Well, that’s it. Goodbye,” Elijah said coldly.

By the time Sheena looked up once more, the man was already gone.

He did not even try to save their marriage, nor did he spare another glance at her.

It was as if he was never there in the first place.

“It’s better this way,” Sheena muttered, then chuckled and shook her head.

Elijah’s heartlessness would only make it easier for her to move on, and she would treat him

as a stranger if they ever crossed paths again.

Sheena composed herself and got ready to leave.

Suddenly, a limited–edition black Bentley limousine pulled up before her.

A middle–aged man with gray hair and four bodyguards emerged from the car as its door opened.

Recognizing the man, Sheena straightened her back, trying to look elegant and imposing.

“Dad sure is well–connected. I’ve just gotten divorced, and you’re already here.”

The Lawson family butler, George Woods, smiled and bowed to her before saying, “Ms. Lawson, the three–year agreement you made with Mr. Lawson has ended.”

He paused, stealing a glance at the divorce certificate in Sheena’s hand. Then, he pretended to be regretful and added, “It seems like you’ve failed to make Elijah fall in love with you. In that case, you should fulfill your promise and return to Svelton and inherit the family business.”

Sheena frowned and fell silent for some time.

Something terrible happened when Sheena was 15. Consequently, she lost her memory and ended up in the Farlem orphanage. Later on, she saved Sebastian, who then brought her back to the Freeman family. It was not until she came of age that Elijah was ordered to marry her.

Something unexpected happened on the night of her wedding, and she miraculously regained her memory.

Back then, Sheena was completely head over heels for Elijah, and she refused to go back with George, eventually agreeing to the three–year agreement with her father, Albert Lawson.

Looking back, she realized she had wasted these three years on a man who did not love her.

George tried to persuade her, “Mr. Lawson really misses you, Ms. Lawson. Why don’t you come back with me? Please don’t be angry with him anymore, he…”

“George,” Sheena cut her off. Her expression turned colder as she recalled past events. “He has that woman by his side, and the Lawson family doesn’t need me. I have important matters to attend to in Farlem. I’m not going back.”

She had been secretly investigating for the past two years, hoping to find out who caused her to lose her memories and abandoned her in Farlem. She found out that the culprit most likely worked for the Lawson Group, but she still could not figure out who it was.

With her enemies unknown, it was too dangerous for her to return to the Lawson family. Moreover, she had no intention to go back and meet that woman.

George sighed, then said, “Mr. Lawson was right. You’re still holding a grudge against him and won’t return so easily.”

As he spoke, George respectfully took out an exclusive black card.

“This is yours. It has 4.5 billion dollars inside.”

Afterward, he motioned to his bodyguards behind him and one of them quickly handed over a new contract to Sheena.
