Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)

Chapter 546

Elliot nodded obediently and said, “Thank you.”

He began to carefully choose his words, confessing honestly, “The cigarettes are indeed mine. I asked

Lionel to buy them, but I didn’t intend to smoke them.”

The simmering anger in Sheena’s chest continued to charm. She took a deep breath, holding her anger

back.

“Still not telling the truth? It seems you’ve been secretly doing this behind my back many times. Come

clean. How many cigarettes have you smoked?”

Elliot felt wronged. “I only instructed Lionel this afternoon and was already caught by you in the

evening. I really didn’t smoke any.”

Sheena suppressed her anger once again, picked up the cigarette box from the table, opened it, and

showed it to him.

“When I came over, the cabinet drawer was slightly open, as if it had just been opened today. And this

top box is clearly missing one. Do you still want to deny it?”

Elliot was taken aback.

So, that was how it was discovered!

Moreover, Lionel even put the pack of cigarettes he had used the day in the drawer.

Was he just careless, or did he have malicious intentions?

Suppressing the urge to confront Lionel immediately, Elliot consciously changed his crouching posture

into a kneeling one.

“I did use one cigarette today, but I only smelled it. I didn’t even light it at all. If you don’t believe me,

you can check if there’s any smell on me. I really didn’t smoke!”

Sheena squinted her beautiful eyes and sneered, “You could’ve just taken a shower and changed your

clothes after smoking it. I won’t smell it that way.”

She did not believe him at all…

Elliot felt a pain in his chest, and the corners of his eyes turned red with frustration. He delicately

grasped her sleeve with his fingertips as if seeking a bit of comfort.

“Nana, you said last time that we should trust each other. I’m telling the truth, please believe me this

time.”

“Then why did you deny that the cigarettes were yours just now? So, which statement should I

believe?”

Elliot was speechless, trapped by Lionel and his own momentary wishful thinking.

He bit his lower lip hard, feeling a heavy discomfort from his inability to explain anything,

Sheena quickly noticed the tears in his eyes, a sign of immense grievance, pity, and helplesstiese,

Soon, a row of faint blood imprints marked his bitten lower lip.

“Let go!” Sheena snapped, suddenly pinching his cheek with her fingertips, forcing him to open his

mouth.

His handsome face was pale as he lowered his gaze, and the bright red bloodstains on his thin lips

were particularly striking, adding a touch of misery.

“You made a mistake, yet you’re feeling victimized?”

Sheena sighed, feeling a bit of pity. She bent and kissed his lips, her tongue gently soothing the pain

on his lips.

A faint taste of sweetness and iron lingered in their mouths. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After the kiss, Sheena continued pinching his face, meeting his gaze up close. Secretly unable to bear

looking at him in this situation, she offered him a way out.

“Since you insist that you didn’t smoke, the intact cigarette should still be there. Find it, and I’ll believe

you.”

Finally, a glimmer of light appeared in Elliot’s dark eyes. “Good! It’s in the study’s…”

His words abruptly stopped.

Damn it!

He had Lionel pack the cigarette together with the garbage from the study.

Where the hell could he find it now?!

Sheena tightened her grip on his face. “Where in the study?”

“I threw it in the trash, and Lionel took it away when he left…‘

Sheena raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that just too convenient?”

Really, it was just that convenient!

It was almost impossible to clear his name at this point!

Elliot was exasperated and stared at Sheena with misty eyes.

“I have no physical evidence, but I have a witness. I’ll make Lionel testify to my innocence!”

Sheena arrogantly glanced at him and released his chin, tacitly agreeing.

One minute later, Lionel’s phone was answered.

Without waiting for Lionel to speak on the other end, Elliot’s rage surfaced as he scolded through

gritted teeth, “You’ve got fifteen minutes! Get your ass over here immediately!”
