Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Could it be that following Elijah’s divorce, his relationship had somehow stirred up Elijah’s emotions?

Lance’s knees almost gave way, and he was on the verge of kneeling, pleading for mercy, “Mr. Freeman, I was wrong! I’ll never secretly date again. Please spare me this time… or punish me lightly!”

“Who said I’m going to punish you?”

Lance’s bent knees froze midway. He stood in an awkward posture, looking visibly puzzled and somewhat comical.

Elijah maintained a stoic expression, his gaze serious as he said, “I’ve encountered similar issues recently, so I called you to Farlem to seek your advice.”

Now that the truth was out, Lance felt a wave of anxiety.

After observing Elijah for a while and sensing no signs of anger, he cautiously replied, “My fiancee has a good temper and is really gentle. However, some boundaries shouldn’t be crossed, or she’ll get angry. To keep her happy, it’s all about small gifts, a sweet attitude, and being decisive when she needs your help.”

Elijah was deep in thought, looking increasingly grim as he muttered, “Sheena, on the other hand, is wealthy herself. She doesn’t lack money, and she won’t be impressed by any gift, no matter how expensive or rare. This approach won’t work.”

Did this mean he was trying to win over Sheena?

Lance instantly found himself in a dilemma. Having heard from Lionel, he knew that Elijah had been on the losing end in his encounters with Sheena lately.

This woman had a strong personality and was not afraid to be ruthless!

Trying to win her back seemed more challenging than grabbing stars from the sky.

Lance scratched his head, looking quite distressed. “Or, perhaps, has Ms. Sheena recently had something she wants to achieve? You could quietly assist her, then pretend to expose it, letting her know you helped her, and she might feel grateful.”

Elijah contemplated seriously.

Sheena had been planning to bankrupt the Carver Group lately, and he could indeed provide some behind–the–scenes assistance, but…

“I’ll help her, but she doesn’t need to know. She doesn’t like owing favors, and it won’t change her opinion much,” Elijah stated.

“In that case, there’s no point in doing that.”

Both men fell silent simultaneously, and the room became quiet.

Lance had a sudden realization.

“Considering the current situation and Ms. Sheena’s temperament, the probability of you remarrying her is almost zero. Have you ever thought about facing her with your true identity?

Elijah remained silent.

Lance continued, “You know what Madam Freeman and Ms. Freeman did to her before. Despite settling previous scores, there’s still a lingering resentment. As long as they’re around, Ms. Sheena won’t consider remarriage.”

“Do you have a suggestion?” Elijah met Lance’s gaze.

Lance approached and whispered, “I think you could gamble with your life.”

“My life?”

“Yes. Some people are stubborn, and they only understand their true feelings when they’ve lost everything. But this can’t be staged. It must be real. Ms. Sheena is smart, so it has to be a genuine sacrifice, something that could truly move her. It’s incredibly risky, though. You might really lose your life.”

He paused, then knelt with a thud, pleading for mercy, “Regardless of whether you consider this option or not, please don’t expose me! I’m getting married to my beloved fiancee next month, and I don’t want to die!”

Elijah cast a disdainful glance at his pathetic appearance.

“Don’t worry. It’s my own decision, and I’ll think about it.”

Lance finally breathed a sigh of relief, getting up from the floor. The two discussed this plan a bit more before leaving the room.

The mansion was quiet. Lionel had taken the Lawson family’s bodyguards somewhere. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
