Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 

Hannah’s knuckles turned white as she gripped onto the bed sheet too tightly. Despite being fearful of his response, a tiny sliver of hope lingered within her. 

However, Noah said nothing, removing her hand coldly. He pushed the door open and left without looking back at her. 

Vanessa and Sheena, who had been chatting on the sofa outside the room, were both startled by Noah’s chilling expression as he emerged. 

Vanessa was the first to ask, “Mr. Noah! W–what’s wrong?” 

Noah ignored her, addressing Sheena directly, “You knew she was pretending to be sick.” 

Was he actually angry? 

This was the first time Noah spoke to Sheena in such a tone, and she felt guilty, mumbling, “I… 

Noah did not give her a chance to explain. Instead, he walked downstairs and left. 

Sheena was about to follow him, but Vanessa grabbed her and led her into the room to check Hannah’s condition. 

Hannah’s eyes were red, as though she had just been crying, and she appeared to be in a bad mood. 

Vanessa hugged her, looking pained. “Hannah, I already advised you not to do it! Noah’s too aloof, and he won’t have feelings for you. But you just had to try, and now you’re hurt!” 

Hannah bit her lip, remaining silent. 

Knowing that Hannah was stubborn and unyielding once she set her mind to something, Vanessa turned to Sheena for help. “Sheena, for the sake of our good relationship, please help Hannah. You managed to bring Mr. Noah’to Farlem. I’m sure you have a way to make him stay! 

Sheena shook her head; her expression serious as she replied, “It’s no use. He’s a man of strong principles. If he doesn’t like it, no amount of persuasion will work.” 

Though this bluntness might be a little harsh for Hannah, Sheena had no other choice but to be straightforward. After all, better a temporary pain than a long one, and Hannah had to come to terms with the reality on her own. 

Vanessa sighed in disappointment. 

Seeing this heartbreaking scene, Sheena realized she could not do much to help and decided to leave. 

“Sheena!” Hannah called her, asking, “Are you my enemy?” 

Vanessa trembled with fear. The fate of Jennifer was still fresh in her memory, and she froze. 

Sheena stood quietly, but without explaining or looking back, she simply left the Moore mansion.

Sarah, on the other end of the call, was surprised. “Ms. Lawson, if he tells Bethany and the plan is leaked, they might obstruct our collaboration with Sky Legion Construction.” Sheena pursed her lips and smiled. “It depends on whether they’re capable of doing that.” 

“Huh?” 

Sarah could not quite grasp her intentions, so she just followed her instructions obediently. That evening… 

Bethany arrived at the Freeman mansion in a great mood, seeking recognition from Faye. 

‘Auntie Faye, I managed to get my hands on the cooperation plan between Serene Real Estate Limited and Sky Legion Construction.” 

Faye was delighted. “Really?” Then, she eagerly took the proposal from Bethany’s hands and read through it carefully, saying, “Fantastic! Having this proposal will make things much easier.” 

Bethany chimed in, “Now that we know Serene Real Estate Limited’s offer to Sky Legion Construction, we just need to multiply that price several times to outbid them and snatch this cooperation.” 

“Serene Real Estate Limited is a small company to begin with, so they’re short on funds. Once they’ve paid the advance, we can disturb the collaboration. Then, as they won’t have the money or the leverage to secure a better construction materials company, they’ll be left helpless and have to give up the land.” 

Listening to her, Faye could not stop laughing. “Excellent. I’ll leave this matter entirely to you. No matter the cost, the Freeman Group can afford it!” 

Bethany nodded. 

Faye patted her shoulder and looked at her earnestly. “Beth, I trust you the most. Don’t let me down!”
