Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1148

Stanley was terrified by Elliot's attitude, and his already pale complexion from blood loss turned even paler.

"Grandpa, save me! I don't want to go to a high-security prison. Elliot wants to ruin me!"

Santiago became distressed, coughing heavily.

Elliot helped Santiago ease the coughing fit, though his decisions remained unwavering.

Desperate to protect Stanley, Santiago pleaded, "Are you trying to kill your own cousin? I'm fine now. There's no need for such a severe punishment. Eli, listen to me this time, and don't be stubborn!"

Elliot fell silent once again.

Seeing how uncomfortable Santiago was when he coughed, Elliot did not want to upset him further, especially considering his recent awakening and weakened condition.

He could not bring himself to burden Santiago with the distressing details of Stanley's actions.

Stanley felt a glimmer of hope when he noticed Santiago's intervention suppressed Elliot's momentum, and Peter also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the atmosphere in the master bedroom subtly shifted, Sheena's melodious voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Grandpa, Elliot didn't intentionally harm Stanley. He brought this upon himself. Elliot is simply carrying out his duty."

Stanley glared at Sheena, bearing extreme hatred for her stunning face.

Through gritted teeth, he muttered barely audibly, "Why do you always have to meddle in our matters?"

Ignoring Stanley's hostility, Sheena bypassed Peter and Stanley, approaching Santiago's bedside.

Sheena caught his gaze and raised an eyebrow coquettishly.

She had returned from Mountville to find E&S Haven dark, indicating Elliot had not returned home. So, she came to Santiago's mansion and found Lionel outside the bedroom door.

It was Lionel who informed her of Elliot's suspicions and the events of the evening.

She could not help but add that Lionel had gotten quite tan on their trip to the border—probably three shades darker.

Despite his complexion, his teeth were exceptionally white, making him look somewhat comical when he spoke.

Nonetheless, he appeared adorable with his handsome yet slightly goofy appearance.

Lionel had not even had a chance to return home yet. Sheena wondered what Jacintha's reaction would be when she saw him.
