Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1159

Sheena smiled as she explained, "Anne poured out the gasoline and tried to ignite it with a lighter, intending to kill us both. I stopped her before she could do it."

She gestured with her eyes toward the spot where the lighter was.

Lionel was furious, saying, "Even at this stage, she still wants to play tricks. She's beyond redemption."

Corey's gaze was stern as he looked at Paulo.

In a hoarse yet commanding voice, he ordered, "Paulo, open the cage now."

Paulo signaled to his bodyguard behind him, who immediately walked to the opposite wall and pressed the switch.

Soon, the large cage slowly retracted to the ceiling.

Lionel and the others approached Sheena.

Corey asked, "Did Anne confess about Mom's death?"

Sheena nodded. "Yes, she did. It's all over. Lionel, take her away. I'll investigate her past crimes thoroughly."

"Understood."

Sheena did not want to linger any longer, turning around and walking away.

Meanwhile, Anne was gradually recovering from the lack of oxygen.

With a hateful glare at Sheena's retreating figure, Anne struggled to let out a cold laugh.

"Sheena, you were scared to kill me just now, but I'm not afraid to kill you."

Before Lionel's team could get close, she pulled out a pistol she had hidden on her.

Quickly raising it, she aimed at Sheena without hesitation, pulling the trigger.

"Nana!"

Corey, the quickest to notice Anne's action and closest to Sheena, instinctively hugged her, shielding her in his arms.

A gunshot rang out, hitting Corey in the back.

Corey winced in pain but firmly blocked the gun aimed at Sheena, protecting her without letting go.

Before Anne could fire another shot, Lionel's soldiers swiftly subdued her.

Besides, they were on a small island along the coast. An ambulance could not reach them.

Sheena inspected the gunshot wound on his back and said, "Let's go. We need to leave the island immediately. There's a first aid kit in the car parked along the coast. We'll do some basic treatment there before heading to the hospital."

Loss of blood could also be fatal.

Sheena decisively tore a piece of fabric from her long skirt and quickly applied pressure to Corey's wound, barely managing to stop the bleeding.

Then, Sheena and Barbara supported Corey on either side, swiftly boarding a small boat to leave the island.

Once they reached the coast, they split into two groups.

Lionel took Anne and Paulo back to the National Investigation Bureau for questioning while Sheena and Barbara took Corey to the hospital to have the bullet removed.

Corey insisted on not being anesthetized, refusing the doctor's and Barbara's pleas.

Sheena was puzzled and asked, "Do you have a tendency for self-harm?"

Corey was in pain, but for the first time, he managed to explain, "I feel guilty for everything I've put you through, almost getting you killed by Sheila multiple times. I've been trying to make it up to you in every way I can, but there's still a debt I can't repay. Being able to take a bullet for you this time eases my conscience a bit. So, let me endure the pain and repay a little more of that debt."
