Chapter 749
“Romello knows about Nathaniel stealing the S404, although it’s unclear if he was aware from the beginning. Currently, he’s the prime suspect.”
Sheena thought for a moment and shook her head.
“Regarding the incident when I was fifteen, even though I have no memory of what happened, I’m sure that it must have been someone I knew well to catch me off guard!
“Moreover, Barrett targeted me before due to my inheritance rights. Romello has no direct link to the Lawson family’s inheritance rights. He could be an accomplice at most, probably not the mastermind.
After a moment of silence, Elliot proposed a new possibility.
“Perhaps the real mastermind doesn’t hold such great authority but uses someone like Romello, a privileged figure, to execute the plan.”
“Mhm. That’s what I’m thinking too.”
Elliot gently ruffled her hair. “Stop overthinking and eat your dinner. With me around, I won’t let anyone harm you.
Sheena smiled, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint.
“If they want to harm me, hiding won’t help. If I fan the flames, they’ll act more urgently. The more they act, the more mistakes they’ll make!”
Elliot, captivated by her calm and calculated gaze, asked, “What’s your plan?”
Initially uninterested in inheritance rights, Sheena confidently continued, “Since everyone seems so eager for it, I might as well reluctantly accept it. I’ll handle it carefully.”
Concerned, Elliot said, “Nana, maybe we should wait a while before discussing this further. You’re pregnant, and our wedding is next month.”
Elliot did not want anything unexpected to happen at this critical time!
Sheena nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take it slow and won’t rush things. I’ll protect myself and the twins.
Elliot fell silent, his thoughts in turmoil, as he quietly focused on his meal.
When Sheena arrived at Angle Group the next morning, Caesar was already waiting in her office.
As soon as he saw her, Caesar stood up and asked, “Ms. Lawson, I’m really sorry for giving Mr. Jenkins the wrong impression last night. Did you and Mr. Jenkins argue?”
“It’s fine. Everything is okay,” Sheena assured him.

Sheena smiled as she walked to her office chair and sat down before continuing, “How’s your face?”
Caesar touched his face and shrugged, giving a nonchalant smile. “I asked the hotel for an ice pack yesterday. It’s almost healed.
Sheena truly felt bad for the incident, explaining, “Last night, I talked to him, and he acknowledged that he had been impulsive. He suggested inviting you to dinner tonight as an apology. How about joining us after work?”
“Sure!” Caesar nodded without hesitation.
Then, he added, “Speaking of which, I should apologize. Mr. Jenkins was right. Since I’m in Proania, I should follow local customs. It was presumptuous of me to insist on Laubabwe etiquette. My apologies.”
Sheena responded, “It’s good that you thought it through. By the way, the legal department is already printing the contracts. Why don’t you go to the lounge and grab something to cat?”
Caesar politely stood up, replying, “Sure. I’ll take my leave.”
They exchanged friendly smiles before Sheena opened her laptop and entered work mode. Soon, a call came in.
It was from Albert, and she immediately answered.
“Sweetheart, how have you been lately? How’s your morning sickness?”
Typing on the keyboard, Sheena casually replied, “Not too bad. I have stronger reactions occasionally, but you don’t need to worry. I’m perfectly fine.”
