    Chapter 867


    Romello stared at Phoebe intently, saying, “How’s that considered trading? It’s just helping you choose a better husband.”


    Phoebe stared at him in disbelief. “Romello, it’s the twenty-first century, and we advocate for marital freedom. If regaining the


    status of a Nicholls family heiress means losing my autonomy and freedom of choice, then I''d rather spend my life as an orphan


    in an orphanage!”


    Faced with her strong opposition, Romello quickly softened his tone and pulled her back to his side.


    “Alright, it was just a discussion with you. There’s no need to be so angry. If you’re adamant about it, | won’t force you.


    Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief at his words and continued socializing with him.


    Meanwhile, Sheena and Elliot were making progress on their end.


    With their joint efforts, the Lawson Group sessfully secured a major international trade deal, with ns to meet tomorrow to


    finalize the contract terms.


    Elliot shook hands amicably with Carlos Sheffield on behalf of Sheena.


    “Ms. Lawson, I’m looking forward to future coborations with you.” Carlos said politel


    Sheena smiled. “Likewise, Mr. Sheffield.”N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    With the deal sealed, Carlos was quickly whisked away by other guests.


    Sheena and Elliot exchanged smiles.


    Elliot casually wrapped his arm around her slender waist, whispering, “Nana, don’t forget about the reward you promised. You


    can’t bail on me this time, no matter what.”


    She nodded with a yful smile.


    “You did well tonight, even negotiating the big deal for me. You deserve some credit.”


    Elliot gazed at her exquisite face, feeling a surge of desire.


    He wished he could just sweep her away and take her back to E&S Haven to enjoy each other fully.


    After hesitating for a moment, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Honey, how about we slip away early and get down to


    business? The night is so wonderful. We shouldn''t waste it all on. socializing.”


    “No way. We have to do things in sequence.”


    Sheena yfully pinched his waist. It was not painful but rather sensual, and her sparkling eyes sent him a clear warning.

    “Eli, behave yourself and socialize. I''ll go check on Phoebe.”


    With a teasing pat on his sturdy waist, she turned and walked away.


    Elliot gazed at Sheena’s graceful figure, sighing silently.


    “Mr. Jenkins?”


    Asoft voice beside him interrupted his stare at Sheena.


    He turned to see a woman.


    “Yes?”


    Reba Lambert seemed slightly taken aback, perhaps not expecting his cold tone.


    “Mr. Jenkins, don’t you remember me? I’m Reba, the third daughter of the Lambert family. We used to sit together for meals


    before you joined the army.”

    “Mr. Jenkins, we’ve known each other since we were young. Can’t we chat for a while?”


    Elliot looked at his ss of wine, his tone cold. “No.”


    Reba fell silent.


    Sheena, who was on her way to check on Phoebe, halted midway and nced back in Elliot’s direction.


    She thought she heard a girl’s voice calling Elliot when she exited.


    Sure enough, she saw a pretty girl standing in front of Elliot.


    It seemed like Elliot immediately attracted someone else’s attention as soon as she left!


    With a slight chill in her gaze, she decisively returned to assert her dominance as Elliot''s wife.


    Despite being ruthlessly rejected, Reba lingered, showing no sign of awkwardness.
