Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1861

Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not seem too concerned when he found out Mavis had gone abroad.

With their one-year agreement nearing its end, he figured Mavis no longer wanted to stay at the Nicholls residence. Hence, he decided to let her do as she pleased.

Nathaniel could still tolerate that.

With Mavis gone, the house instantly became quieter.

He no longer had to avoid her every day.

Mildred noticed but did not say anything.

Just as Nathaniel got a rare moment of peace, Kristen started contacting him more frequently.

Nevertheless, he did not refuse her calls and listened indifferently to her talk about trivial matters.

…

Things had been getting hectic in the fishing village.

It was not exactly the fishing village, but rather, Kristen herself.

She had intended to win Nathaniel over slowly, not wanting to arouse his suspicion,

As she noticed Nathaniel was getting more entangled, Kristen thought she was close to achieving her goal.

However, her adoptive father, Declan Blackwell, had been secretly observing her, and he disagreed with her approach.

Kristen, dressed in a white dress, knelt in front of a wooden cabin.

A middle-aged man with sunglasses and a hat sat before her.

Even though his facial features were hidden, his entire demeanor exuded a chilling and menacing aura.

Terrified, Kristen trembled all over.

"Daddy, I…"

She wanted to say something, but as soon as she saw Declan's dark expression, the words caught in her throat.

She was too scared to continue.

"Kristen, you're too slow. You know I don't keep useless people around. Besides, I want an obedient kitten. You're getting ahead of yourself, coming up with too many ideas."
