Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708 

Elliot’s eyelashes trembled lightly, and he glanced at Lionel before quickly surveying the entire room.. 

“Where’s Nana?” 

Upon hearing this, Lionel became anxious, “They’ve all gone to the international court. Princess Kelly is accusing her of murdering the royal family, and the trial just started today. 

Elliot frowned, and his messy thoughts quickly cleared. “Murdering the royal family: 

“Yes, Charles Lance, Princess Kelly’s adopted son in name, also known as Nathaniel.” 

Elliot immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed, saying, “Get the car and drive us to the international court immediately.” 

Glancing at the clock, Lionel grabbed his arm. “The trial is about to start. If we go now, we might be unable to help much.” 

As he spoke, Lionel’s gaze slightly turned serious, and he spoke in a low, cautious tone, “Mr. Jenkins, I just received news that… the person… is already out of critical condition.” 

Elliot locked eyes with him and quickly composed himself. 

“Let’s go check.” 

Outside the solemn courtroom, a crowd had gathered. 

As Sheena’s car arrived, various media outlets quickly surrounded her, thrusting microphones in her 

face. 

“Ms. Lawson, did you really kill someone?” 

“Although Mr. Nicholls had been to jail, he was also a law–abiding citizen. It’s said for you two were childhood sweethearts. Why would you want to kill him?” 

“Ms. Lawson, please explain. Ms. Lawson…” 

The continuous barrage of microphones was shoved to Sheena’s face, accompanied by the clicking of camera flashes. 

Just as Sheena was about to respond, Howard wrapped his arm around her shoulder, effectively clearing the area. With him intervening, the reporters and media dispersed within minutes. 

Howard leaned in close, whispering, “Nana, remember Mr. Aguilar’s words. As for everything else, don’t overthink it. Noah and I will handle everything for you.” 

Sheena collected her complicated thoughts and nodded. 

In the courtroom.

The spectator seats were filled with people, and the plaintiff and defendant seats were in opposition. 

Before long, Harrold assisted a weary–looking Kelly to the courtroom. Her eyes were slightly swollen, as if she had been crying intensely these past few days. 

Noticing Sheena’s gaze, Kelly shot her a venomous look, and the intense hatred in her eyes was unmistakable. 

Sheena remained unfazed, quickly looking away and quietly walking to the spot marked with the defendant’s sign. 

When the commissioner announced the courtroom discipline, Sheena remembered the note her lawyer had given her and took a glance. 

The legal team instructed her to portray Nathaniel as emotionally unstable with severe violent tendencies, claiming she killed him in Lionel’s defense. This would imply that she mistakenly killed Nathaniel while trying to save Lionel, justifying it as self–defense. 

Yet, this would shift all the blame onto Nathaniel, tarnishing his reputation even after his death and making him the scapegoat. 

On the other hand, she was pregnant. As long as she confirmed the pregnancy in court, she would not have to bear this responsibility for now… 

However, it was too early in the pregnancy, and elders suggested keeping it private until after three months. Plus, she had not figured out how to tell her family about it. 

Amidst her tumultuous thoughts, Howard, seated in the spectator seats, noticed the change in her expression after glancing at the note. 

He whispered to her, “Nana, don’t overthink it!” 

Sheena’s emotions were complex. Just as she was lost in thought, the judge entered the courtroom. The tumultuous legal battle was about to unfold,
