Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1104

At 3 a.m., the only sound breaking the silence of Mountville was the hoarse and strained recitation coming from the altar room.

Sheena deliberately dismissed the bodyguards stationed at the entrance of the old mansion, allowing people to come and go unsupervised.

A few minutes later, a figure approached the altar room.

Elliot squinted, lowering his presence silently, hiding in the darkness, waiting patiently.

From this angle, he could see the person's profile.

The night was dark, with only faint light from the mansion's garden lamps.

The figure appeared slender, unmistakably a woman.

Was it really Anne?

It was simply suspicious to visit Corey, who was being punished, at such a late hour.

The figure stood by the door of the altar room, quietly listening to the sounds inside for a while.

Minutes passed, yet she remained outside, showing no intention of going in.

Elliot felt doubtful.

Quietly, he emerged from the shadows, approaching the slender figure peering into the altar room.

As he got closer, he realized it was not Anne but Barbara.

Coming at this time of night, it was obvious that she was concerned.

Elliot sighed, taking a step back silently, retreating back into the shadows.

Barbara stood outside the altar room for a long time, silently accompanying Corey for over half an hour.

A subtle hint of sadness lingered in the air as Barbara sighed deeply before leaving the old mansion.

Shortly after she left, Sheena returned from her errand.

Truly, their sibling bond ran deep.

A hint of mockery flickered in her eyes as she turned away without another glance at Corey in the altar room.

Elliot followed her, and the two descended the mountain halfway, driving back to the Jenkins estate.

On the way back, Sheena was engrossed in her phone.

Even in the late hours, she was casually checking the recent financial reports of the Lawson Group.

Elliot hesitated before voicing his concerns.

"It's been so long since the past incidents. Besides cutting ties with Corey, you haven't punished him. This time, he deserves the punishment, but Nana, don't you think it's unfair to Barbara? Barbara was completely kept in the dark. Even though they're married, she must have felt uncomfortable seeing Corey suffer. When she came to check on him just now, I could hear her stifled sobs. Clearly, she's distressed, unable to sleep all night, worrying about Corey. She hasn't done anything wrong. Corey's punishment of kneeling and reciting scriptures causes him physical pain, but she suffers emotionally alongside him."

Sheena raised her head, unable to scroll through the financial reports on her phone.

Elliot's words stirred something within her.
