Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2302

Adora replied without hesitation, "I still want to be with him."

They walked side by side down the alley, their elongated shadows stretching under the warm yellow streetlights.

Sheena asked, "Even after such a terrible fight, you're still willing to defend him?"

Adora shrugged. "What relationship doesn't have its ups and downs? Arguments are normal. Besides, his leg injury from last year hasn't fully healed. I understand why he might be emotional."

Sheena's brows furrowed, her expression serious. "Sweetheart, your father and I, Uncle Nate, Auntie Mae, Uncle Lionel—we've all cherished you. We didn't raise you to be mistreated by some man."

Adora protested, "But Mom, Brooklyn got hurt because of me. That dangerous mission was supposed to be mine. He took my place and injured his leg. How can I be so ungrateful?"

Sheena sighed. "He's injured, so you have to be his punching bag? Do you plan to repay every debt of gratitude by sacrificing yourself? If another teammate gets hurt in your place on a future mission, will you offer yourself to them too?"

Adora lowered her head, silent.

Sheena stroked her cheek and added, "You've been in military academy since you were young, then straight into the forces. You lack real-world experience and haven't seen much of people's true nature. You're too naive."

Moreover, Adora grew up in luxury, with the best of everything. Whenever her friends learned about her identity, they eagerly built a good relationship with her. Hence, Adora had only seen the kindest and most beautiful side of people.

Sheena sighed and continued, "How about this? If you insist on being with Brooklyn, we'll do a small test. If he passes, I'll approve of your relationship."

"Really?" Adora's eyes lit up. "What if Dad disagrees?"

"He won't. He listens to me."

Adora was overjoyed, clutching Sheena's arm. "You're the best, Mom!"

Sheena remained expressionless. "Don't get too excited. For this test, tell Brooklyn that you've cut ties with the family to be with him. All your cars, properties, and bank accounts have been taken back. You're no longer the Lawson Group heiress. To make the break complete, we're even taking back the house we gave him…"

Adora's face fell. "Mom, isn't that too harsh?"

"...So that's basically it. Brooklyn, we can finally be together openly."

Brooklyn, who had been smoking, choked on the smoke in surprise. He looked at her skeptically.

"You're joking, right? You'd actually break ties with the Jenkins family for me? That's impossible…"

"It's true. I've already agreed. I want to prove my determination to them!"

While Adora was confident, Brooklyn looked troubled. "You're the precious daughter of both the Jenkins and Lawson families. How could your parents let you marry down and live in the countryside with me?"

"Whether you believe it or not, it's happening," Adora replied. She recalled something and added, "Oh, and Mom said they're taking back the house they gave you as compensation."

Brooklyn choked on his cigarette again, his face changing. "My parents are living there now. They said it was compensation, a gift. How can they take it back? Where will my parents live?"
