Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 1034
Chapter 1034
They kept their distance, leaving a gap big enough for another person to sit between them.
It was as if the distance between them seemed impossible to bridge.
The quiet atmosphere lingered for a minute, and it was not until Anne spoke up that the strange tension was broken.
“Ms. Lawson, congratulations on the collaboration with Dorvell Corporation. It’s al
significant step for the Lawson Group to expand overseas.”
Sheena glanced at Anne’s exquisitely beautiful face, her tone devoid of much emotion as- she replied, “Thank you.”
Anne sighed with regret. “It’s a shame, though. The Lawson Group’s plans to expand
overseas through Dorvell Corporation’s project might be in jeopardy.”
Sheena narrowed her eyes cautiously, reading Anne’s expression.
“Whe
do
do you mean?”
Anne smiled, looking apologetic, and replied, “I talked about the bidding for Dorvell Corporation’s project with Paulo last night. He felt sorry that we lost the bid as I had put in too much effort for this proposal, saying that you only won because of nepotism. So, he
wanted to help me reclaim the cooperation rights.”
“Take the cooperation rights from me?” Sheena scoffed. “Was Paulo drunk when he said that in bed? Besides, my proposal has been revised countless times and is the result of many sleepless nights. You wouldn’t have stood a chance unless I didn’t attend Dorvell Corporation’s bidding meeting this time.
In her career, she had always been meticulous and believed in her own skills and abilities.
Even without the issue of Elliot’s approach, the proposal she had personally written would have been top–notch.
Anne observed the arrogance on Sheena’s face.
“Ms. Lawson, you are really charming when you are confident. Unfortunately, the Jenkins
and Lawson families are no longer the big fish in the pond once you go abroad. Ms. Lawson, you should know that there are always others out there.”
Sheena stared at her, pondering her familiar tone.
“Ms. Windsor, the first time I saw you, I couldn’t help but feel you resembled someone.”
Anne smiled with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Oh? Who?”
“My sister.”
Sheena casually spoke, but her eyes carefully scrutinized Anne’s every move.
Anne looked pleasantly surprised and exclaimed, “Really? I’m honored that Ms. Lawson
finds me familiar.”
Sheena chuckled. “I don’t actually like this sister of mine. She’s just a bastard child of the Lawson family, an ugly duckling who clearly doesn’t belong but wants to take my place.”
Anne’s smile faded slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Hurt and aggrieved, she asked, “So, Ms. Lawson, are you using your sister to mock me, implying that I’m overreaching?”
“No, just a jest, Ms. Windsor. Don’t take it to heart.”
Sheena continued with a wry smile, “Ms. Windsor, you’re far superior to my troublesome sister in terms of family background, appearance, education, and personality. How could she even compare herself to you?”
Anne’s expression warmed slightly, and she asked curiously, “It sounds like there’s an unusual story between you and your sister. May I ask how she’s doing now?”
“She’s dead. No ashes, no grave. My brother left her name and image at the Memorial Garden, where there are only the forgotten dead, forever without the remembrance and prayers of loved ones, even in the afterlife.”
Anne listened in shock.
“She’s so pitiful.”
Sheena chuckled lightly. “She’s not pitiful. She nearly tore apart the Lawson family back then. She got what she deserved.”
Anne nodded thoughtfully, about to ask more when Paulo arrived.
Seeing him, Anne tearfully threw herself into his arm.
“Darling, what took you so long? I missed you so much.”
pter
“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
Paulo kissed her as if no one else were around.
After a sweet moment, Paulo noticed Sheena’s presence.
“Ms. Lawson, you’re here too.”
As a courtesy, Sheena smiled and nodded.
Anne playfully toyed with Paulo’s golden sideburns, and he indulged her.
However, his gaze remained on Sheena.
“Ms. Lawson, AN Group is interested in collaborating with Dorvell Corporation. Would you be willing to relinquish this deal? I’m ready to help the Lawson Group with other
introductions as compensation.”
