Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1726

As the smoke swirled into the air, Nathaniel suddenly waved them away.

His expression turned grim as he muttered, "Mavis, you better hope I never find you."

Miles away in Gurenchti, Mavis shivered in her sleep as if sensing the threat in Nathaniel's words.

She slept through the morning, finally catching up on rest.

When she woke, the lush greenery outside her window instantly brightened her mood.

She took her phone, which she had put on silent mode, and noticed multiple missed calls.

Among them were calls from Nathaniel, Gabrielle, and Marius.

Mavis felt a pang of confusion.

Why would Gabrielle and Marius be trying to reach her?

Had Nathaniel said something to them?

Despite her reluctance to contact Nathaniel, she knew she owed Gabrielle and Marius the courtesy of a response. After all, they had treated her well.

She decided to call Marius back first as he had never called her. So, she believed it was urgent.

To her surprise, the call was quickly answered.

"Mavis."

The deep, familiar voice sent a shiver down her spine.

It was Nathaniel.

She froze, holding her breath.

His voice was hoarse and menacing, carrying a weight that made her skin crawl.

Why was Marius's phone with him?

Did he anticipate that she would return Marius' call eventually and waited for her?

Questions flooded her mind, but she remained silent.

Nathaniel's voice cut through her thoughts.

"Where are you? You better tell me the truth, or there will be consequences."

"Very well, Mavis. You've made your choice. Stay put and wait for me to find you. You won't like the outcome."

"Fine, Mr. Nicholls, I'll be waiting for your grand arrival!"

Just as she was about to hang up, there was a knock on her door.

"Mae, may I come in?" Sheena's voice was muffled but recognizable through the door.

Nathaniel's keen ears picked it up too, his tone shifting from rage to suspicion.

"Who are you with?"

"Mae, if you don't answer, I'm coming in," Sheena called out.

Then, the door opened with a swipe of her key card.

Sheena entered, followed by a group of hotel staff pushing carts.

Mavis stood frozen, neither responding to Sheena nor Nathaniel.

Nathaniel's tone softened, a hint of realization creeping in as he asked, "Are you with Nana?"
