Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1565

Sheena lowered her gaze and asked, "Mrs. Snyder, are you sick of me?"

Nancy was taken aback and quickly patted her hand, reassuring her, "Of course not. Since you arrived, my life has been much more interesting. It's just…"

Nancy hesitated, then continued, "It's just that I feel this place is too shabby and simple for someone like you."

Sheena giggled and replied, "Not at all. You mentioned that your husband and son work in the city and only return during holidays. I'd like to keep you company."

After chatting for a while, Nancy seemed less nervous.

"Sheena, you're so kind."

With a smile still on her face, Sheena gently probed, "Before you saved me, you spent most of your time here alone. Don't you ever feel lonely? If you'd like, you could come with me. I can help you find your husband and son in the city."

Nancy immediately shook her head, not giving Sheena's suggestions much thought.

"This is my home. Even if they aren't here, I need to take care of this place for them."

Sheena countered, "But it's no longer safe here, especially with what happened in the woods just now."

Nancy remained firm, shaking her head again. "Don't worry about it. Even if I were to die, I'd rather die here."

Sheena decided not to press further.

Thinking of the gold she had seen buried inside, her eyes darkened.

Outside the house, Elliot had not really left.

The shabby cabin was not very soundproof, so he could clearly hear the entire conversation between Sheena and Nancy.

Would a woman, especially one without any particular skills, truly be fine living alone in such a remote place for so long?

He furrowed his brows, planning to look inside when he had the chance to see if there were any photos of Nancy's husband and son.

While standing guard in the yard, he suddenly heard another gunshot.

It came from further down the mountain this time but was still quite loud.

Shortly after, Elliot received a call from Lionel.

"Elliot, we found the shooter hiding in the woods. Nathaniel and I caught up with him just as he was disassembling his sniper rifle to flee. We chased him down the mountain, and the shot you heard was mine. I hit him in the leg to slow him down. Lance and the team he brought are closing in on him now."
