Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Since the serious car accident and attack during the day were kept under wraps, Anne’s question seems genuine, as if she was just passing by to offer her regards.

Feeling weak, Sheena Ignored Anna and kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

Elliot’s voice turned cold as he said, “It’s nothing serious. Shou

couple of days.”

He casually fiddled with his wristwatch and added indifferently, “Speaking of which, Mr. Karl seems to have quite the luck running into us, doesn’t he? Despite being in Ardolisia for only a short while, we’ve crossed paths multiple times.”

Ever since that day at the museum, they bumped into each other while shopping, and he even managed to find them when Sheena was secretly hospitalized.

Was it just a coincidence, or was it on purpose?

Paulo chuckled. “Indeed, it seems like fate. However, both Ms. Lawson and Anne are young, and they enjoy shopping. As for why we’re here, it’s just for routine check–ups.”

He glanced at Sheena and commented, “Ms. Lawson doesn’t look too well. It seems she’s seriously ill. Is it due to overexertion? If so, why not transfer the Dorvell Corporation’s

cooperation rights to me? I can help her shoulder the burden.”

Elliot glared at him.

“When did her affairs become someone else’s concern?”

Paulo’s expression changed. “I misspoke, but since I’m here today, I’d still like to discuss

the cooperation rights of Dorvell Corporation with Ms. Lawson. Won’t she reconsider?”

Sheena abruptly opened her eyes, ready to sit upright.

Elliot moved forward, helping her prop up the pillow and lean against the headboard.

“If Mr. Karl wants the cooperation rights, that’s fine.”

With those words, Paulo’s eyes

lit up.

Sheena snorted and swiftly changed her tone. “But you have to do it openly and fairly, to take it from me with your own capabilities. If you dare to use shady tactics, then you’ll regret it. Two can play in this game, and those cheap tricks will be repaid tenfold.”

Paulo froze, his golden sideburns twitching slightly, signaling his displeasure.

The atmosphere became tense.

As perceptive as ever, Anne tried to intervene, “Ms. Lawson…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Elliot immediately interjected, “That’s enough. Nana.

needs rest. It’s getting crowded in this room, and you’re affecting her rest. I won’t be

seeing you off.”

With the conversation reaching this point, it was time for them to leave. Sticking around would just be embarrassing.

Paulo was not keen on lingering anyway and softly called out, “Anne, darling.”

Anne tactfully moved toward the door.

Midway, she looked back, smiling innocently. “Ms. Lawson, take care of yourself. Your life

has been smooth sailing over the years, and it’s natural to encounter some storms along the way, isn’t it?”

Sheena met her smile with a cold gaze, and her tone was devoid of warmth.

“It’s hard to say when I’ll encounter the storms, but I’m guessing you’ll have your shares sooner than me. Remember to watch your steps. It’s going to hurt when you fall.”

Anne seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in her words, smiling brightly.

“Thank you

for your concern, Ms. Lawson. I find the hospital floors a bit slippery too.

Paulo stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Anne’s waist and leading her out of the

ward.

As the door closed, a chilling glint flickered in Sheena’s eyes as she glanced at the fruits

and flowers on the bedside table.

“Throw them out and don’t even touch them. Get them out of my sight immediately.”

Even if she did not say it, Elliot would do the same.

He quickly summoned a nurse, who promptly discarded all the gifts brought by Paulo and Anne, even disinfecting the bedside table.

“Nana, how sure you that Paulo is behind the attack?”

Sheena’s expression turned serious. “Initially, it was only forty percent, but after they

showed up at the hospital, entered my ward, and offered their insincere comforting, I’d say It’s now sixty percent.”
