Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 298

Chapter 298 

Sheena calmly smiled while Elijah maintained a composed and stoic expression. 

Neither seemed like easy targets. 

Melania pondered momentarily, pointing accusingly at Sheena but unwilling to let Elijah off the hook. “She’s the mastermind, and he’s the accomplice! You mustn’t let them escape!” 

Maurice then presented photos of Bethany’s injuries, handing them to Sheena. 

Sheena, with an innocent expression, asked, “Who’s this? How did they end up looking like this? She’s so ugly.” 

She laughed innocently as if this matter had nothing to do with her, 

Upon hearing Sheena’s last particularly cutting comment, Bethany was angry and, enduring the pain, protested, “S–She’s lying…” 

As if suddenly enlightened, Sheena looked back at Bethany with her beautiful eyes. “Ms. Carver, is that you? No wonder she’s so ugly. Ms. Carver is truly determined. Even with such injuries, you insist on personally catching the real culprit.” 

Elijah chuckled quietly. 

Melania and Bethany were enraged by her attitude. 

Melania slammed the table and said, “You led the attack on the Carver family yesterday. I thought you would be bold enough to own up to it, but now I see I’ve overestimated you.” 

Maurice tapped the table. “Quiet.” 

Sheena rested her elbows on the table, her cuffed hands supporting her chin. She looked at Maurice innocently and pouted. “Look at how fierce she is. Is this an attempt to force me to confess?” 

Elijah frowned. She had never talked to him sweetly like this. 

Was she deliberately trying to impress Maurice? 

Elijah clenched his fist, overwhelmed with jealousy. Due to his delicate skin, bruising quickly appeared around his wrists. 

Sheena’s smile was indeed playful and enchanting. 

Seeing this, Maurice felt a flutter in his heart, and he spoke in a gentler tone, “Yesterday, the Carver family’s surveillance was compromised. However, all the testimonies from the Carver family’s staff point to you. How do you explain that?” 

Sheena appeared shocked and argued, “The Carver family is among the wealthiest in Farlem. It’s only natural for their staff to speak for their own employers, right?” 

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “After reviewing the current evidence, whether it’s the vandalized luxury cars or Ms. Carver herself, it seems there are no fingerprints of mine and Elijah’s. Moreover, there are no eyewitnesses except for their staff. It appears the accusations against me might be lacking.” 

Melania scoffed in disdain.

Maurice, reviewing the investigation materials, found some merit in her words. 

Seeing Maurice wavering, Sheena pressed on, “After being detained here for hours, I couldn’t even go to work. If the evidence is insufficient, perhaps the handcuffs should be removed?” As she spoke, Sheena delicately moved her slender wrists, revealing a faint red mark on her 

fair skin. 

Maurice agreed, “Indeed, the evidence is lacking, so we should…” 

Before he could even finish his sentence, Melania interrupted,” Maurice, I think a captain from the third division isn’t qualified to make this decision!” 

A bit annoyed, Maurice was about to retort when a police officer hastily entered the room, whispering a few words into Maurice’s ear. 

Maurice’s expression gradually changed. After some hesitation, he numbly said, “I’m sorry, but the handcuffs cannot be removed. Ms. Sheena remains a significant suspect. She will be placed in the detention cell for further questioning.” 

The detention cell was not a pleasant place. It was usually reserved for confirmed and heinous criminals who were tough to crack. A day in there could make someone spill everything, targeting both their physical and mental resilience. 

It was a highly specialized facility, not typically used lightly. 

Melania and Bethany grinned triumphantly upon hearing this. 

Maurice gestured for someone to take Sheena to the detention cell. 

Sheena smirked, not struggling, resisting, or objecting. 

As the police moved to take Sheena, Elijah stood up and blocked their way. 

Then, he mocked, “You’re just a captain of Farlem’s police station, and you dare to touch her? 

Upon hearing this, Sheena subtly raised an eyebrow. 

It seemed Elijah could not hold back his outrage any longer. Was he finally willing to unveil his true identity?
