Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1503

After that night, Mavis noticed Nathaniel intentionally distancing himself from her.

Although they still shared the same room at night, his words were noticeably fewer, and he always maintained a certain distance.

That irresistible intimacy they had experienced was gone.

Mavis was used to his hot and cold demeanor, and she threw herself into her work.

The unspoken silent treatment lasted a month.

…

In early November, a shocking incident occurred in Svelton, capturing national attention.

While the news was spreading online, Sheena was busy at the Lawson Group.

In recent years, the Lawson Group focused on overseas development, making significant strides in international trade.

Within just five years, it climbed into the top thirty global companies.

After a major meeting, the high-level executives of the Lawson Group were whispering among themselves, their faces unusually grave.

Sheena sensed something was off but did not ask about it immediately.

Instead, she waited until she returned to her office to inquire with her assistant, Wendy, who had been transferred from Angle Group.

"What were they all discussing after the meeting? Everyone seemed to be talking about some news."

Surprised, Wendy exclaimed, "Ms. Lawson, haven't you heard? The matter has been all over the news since this morning, and it's already the top story on all major news outlets. I think everyone in Svelton is talking about it now."

Sheena was unfazed, calmly reviewing the documents.

"I've been swamped with work and haven't had time to check the news."

Wendy eagerly explained the situation, "Last night, there was a massacre at the Reynolds mansion. It was horrifying—so bad that the whole place reeked of blood. Just thinking about it is enough to give anyone nightmares. The Reynolds were an elite family, yet they were wiped out silently. It's said that heiress Cassie was found dead by a window, half her body hanging outside. She probably tried to escape through the window but didn't make it."

Wendy nodded. "Yes, it was Mr. Reynolds's birthday. Because of their business troubles, none of the big names attended. So, Mr. Reynolds only invited family members for a simple celebration in their garden. No one could have predicted such a tragedy happening to the Reynolds family."

Sheena took a deep breath, struggling to comprehend such a massacre happening in Svelton, a city known for its top-notch security and overseen by both the National Investigation Bureau and the police.

Moreover, the culprit was simply brutal, wiping out an entire family in such a gruesome manner.

Sheena could not help but think this was not just a random act of violence, and there had to be a deeper reason behind such ruthless killings.

A sense of dread settled in Sheena's gut.

The horrific images described by Wendy left her feeling anxious and unsettled.

Concerned about the investigation, Sheena dismissed Wendy and called Elliot.

Usually, Elliot answered her calls immediately, but the phone rang for a full minute.

As the melodic ringtone echoed in her ear, Sheena's heart raced, clenching her phone tightly.
