Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1278

"Even though Elijah was sent to the Svelton National Investigation Bureau's affiliated junior military academy at a young age. In his family, Faye and Erin had lost contact with him for over a decade, but Old Man Freeman knew about it.

"So, when I took Elijah's place, Old Man Freeman quickly grew suspicious of me. However, he kept it hidden until he asked me to marry you…"

Sheena's expression suddenly turned serious.

Elliot's recent unusual behavior was indeed related to the secret of the Freeman family concerning her.

Elliot sighed and continued, "Nana, do you remember how good I was to you before we got married? I took care of you like a little sister. But after I found out I had to marry you, my attitude toward you changed, and I often mocked you."

"Of course, I remember."

Sheena remembered all the details about the Freeman family, especially her history with Elliot, even though she no longer cared about them.

Elliot lowered his gaze, looking gloomy.

He hesitated before explaining. "Old Man Freeman found me and told me about my identity issues. He wanted…"

Sheena pressed, "What did he want you to do?"

"He wanted me to quietly take your life, perform a necrogamy, and pair you with the deceased Elijah to relieve him of his untimely death and ensure a better reincarnation for him in the next life."

Necrogamy…

Sheena was shocked.

She pictured Sebastian's loving and gentle face from the past. Yet, she never would have expected that he had such malicious intentions by keeping her in the Freeman family all those years.

"It's been several years since Elijah passed away, yet he still believes in such absurd things. It's ridiculous."

"I agree." Elliot gently caressed her face. "At that time, I was still under the protection of the Freeman family, and Old Man Freeman didn't trust me with the executive power of the Freeman Group. Without evidence to expose his absurd actions to the police, I had to distance myself from you, be cold to you, and use harsh words to try to drive you away, all to deceive Old Man Freeman."
