Faye was furious at Erin's choice of words and retorted, "What nonsense! I've been loyal and faithful, and I'm not one of those shady women. I only had relations with your father!"
Erin sighed in disappointment. "I thought I could be Sheena's sister-in-law again, but it looks like that's not happening."
Meanwhile, Julius, multitasking with baby duties, chimed in with a chuckle, "Well, technically, you are. Didn't you hear how Mr. Jenkins addressed Mom?"
Erin's mind started connecting the dots, and she perked up again.
However, she was still curious about Elliot's background.
"So, if Mr. Jenkins is Elijah, then… who could possibly be the Jenkins family's eldest grandson? Did they mix up babies ten years ago, just like the prince and the pauper?"
Faye glared at Erin, frustrated. "This is real life, not one of the soap operas you watched. Stop letting your imagination run wild."
Erin was getting even more puzzled and asked, "Then what's the real story? Is Mr. Jenkins actually a Freeman or a Jenkins?"
Elliot gently patted Faye's back, calming her down.
"It's a long story, Mom. I'd like to have a word with you in private."
Faye looked up, noticing the seriousness in his eyes.
"Sure, let's go to the altar room. It's quieter there."
They quickly left the room one after the other, leaving Sheena pondering over Elliot's secrecy.
Why did he want to talk to Faye alone?
As Sheena was contemplating, Erin approached her and linked her arm.
"Sheena, have you had breakfast yet? I'll have the chef prepare a lavish spread according to your tastes to welcome you back home."
Julius clicked his tongue and reminded her, "Dear, breakfast shouldn't be too heavy. It's not good for health. Don't go overboard with the hospitality!"
Erin glared at him and retorted, "Well, Sheena knows what I mean well. I wouldn't dare harm her. It's all genuine."
Sheena observed the playful banter between the couple and smiled.
"I haven't had breakfast, but there's no need to treat me like a VIP. Since Elliot acknowledges the Freeman family, it means he sees you all as family. Keep it simple, and let's just have whatever you usually have for breakfast will do."
"Well, that won't do. We must prepare some exquisite breakfast treats."

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
