Wait, She’s a Billionaire

“What did they say?” Howard frowned and eagerly awaited the answer.

“Mr. Upton has put Ms. Upton under house arrest, and she can’t leave without his permission, “the butler answered.

Howard snorted. “That’s great. At least this way, she won’t be able to come to Farlem and cause trouble, and I’ll finally have some peace.”

Then, he waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave while he continued to gaze at the closed doors.

Svelton, the Upton mansion.

Katie was raging in her room, shouting, “Dad is being so unreasonable! How could he lock me in this room and not even let me out of this door?”

A timid servant approached and tried to console her softly, “Miss, please don’t be too upset. You’re just grounded and have to stay at home for a while. It’ll pass.”

“What do you know? Get out of here!” Katie screamed at the servant, taking all the flowers from the vase and throwing them at the servant. “Go away! Stop bothering me!”

Seemingly unsatisfied, she picked up the vase and smashed it on the ground.

“Miss, please stop! Madam brought this crystal vase back from Floire, and it’s priceless. You can’t just break it!”

The servant felt heartbroken as she saw the chipped corner of the vase. Even so, she dared not stop Katie.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“All these things are my family’s, and I can smash them however I want! You’re just a servant, yet you dare to order me around? If you dare to speak out of turn again, I’ll rip your tongue out!”

Katie pushed all the cosmetics off the table, causing a piercing clatter as they hit the ground. The servant knew that trying to reason with Katie would only lead to more trouble, so she wisely remained silent and left the room, closing the door.

Ron and Nicole naturally heard Katie’s furious outburst from upstairs, and Ron’s face grew gloomier as he tossed his cigarette into the ashtray.

“Look at the daughter you raised!”

“What are you saying?” Nicole retorted discontentedly, “Isn’t Katie your daughter too? Are you trying to put the full blame on me?”

“If you hadn’t spoiled her all this time, would she have turned out like this? Howard wants to break off the engagement, and even if I have to swallow my pride, he won’t change his mind. If we let her continue being willful and reckless like this, the Upton family might really be ruined in her hands!” Ron was furious.

“Ron!”

Nicole was about to retort, but Colin Upton came down from upstairs. He had sensed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped in to defuse the situation.

“Dad, Mom, it’s normal for Katie to be in a bad mood from being grounded. It’s fine to let her vent!”

“But not like this! Just listen to the noise! If she keeps smashing things like this, all those valuables in the house will be gone in no time!” Ron gestured upstairs, repeatedly sighing in

frustration.

The sounds of objects being shattered could still be faintly heard.

Colin thought for a moment and decided to go upstairs himself to comfort her. Upstairs, Katie held an antique decorative plate, ready to smash it on the ground.

“Who angered our beloved Katie?” Colin took the plate from her hands, pulling her to sit on the sofa. “Getting so angry isn’t good for your health. You can break some things to get it out

your system, and then you should calm down.”

“Colin!”

Katie pouted and pulled her brother’s arm, her voice full of grievances. “Howard wants to break off the engagement with me because of a divorced woman!”

Colin pinched her cheek. “It’s probably not that simple, is it? I’m well aware of your little tricks.”

“Since that woman got divorced, Howard has let her stay in the mansion and has been so gentle and attentive to her. How can I stomach that? Colin, you’ve always loved me the most. Can you help me get rid of Sheena? Please?” Katie playfully shook his arm and asked, “Can you stand by and watch as another woman takes your little sister’s favorite man?”

Colin was shocked, and he placed his hands on Katie’s shoulders. “Katie, say that again… What’s that woman’s name?”

Katie was somewhat puzzled and repeated, “Sheena, an orphan from a Farlem’s orphanage. What right does she have to compete with me? Colin, do you know her?”

Colin was deep in thought, thinking that the name was too familiar.
