Chapter 417
Barrett and his family suddenly panicked.
“Albert, I’m your own brother! I’ve followed the rules for decades, and I made a mistake just this once. You can’t be so ruthless and throw my entire family out!”
All three fell to their knees at Albert’s feet, pleading desperately with tears i their eyes, a pitiful sight..
One side was his own brother, the other his daughter.

Albert, with a stern face, looked at Sheena, asking, “Sweetheart, what do you think should be their punishment?”
Sheena replied without a second thought, “Follow the rules. Do what needs to be done.”
Mona stood up abruptly, glaring at Sheena. “Sheena, you’re too heartless! You’re standing here unharmed, so why be so ruthless to your own family?”
Sheena’s expression instantly turned cold. She was unharmed now because a man had helped her endure the misery.
They hurt him, and they deserved to die!
When she looked at Mona, her gaze turned icy to the bone. “If it was me caught hurting a family member, would you spare me?”
Mona and Keanu were both stunned, exchanging glances and answering in unison, “Of course.”
Mona added, “You’re the youngest girl of the Lawson family. How could we really bring ourselves to harm you?”
“If that were true, you wouldn’t have made such a big deal about Uncle Barrett’s facial injuries today. When you say these hypocritical words, don’t you find them disgusting?”
Sheena had no interest in staying any longer. She gave Albert a cold look and added, “Dad, handle this matter as you see fit. I have no objections.”
Leaving behind the continuous plea, she returned to the room she had arranged for herself.
It took a long time for Sheena to calm her mood.
The image of Elijah with the blood–drenched burn on his back felt like it was right in front of her. She hated this group of people for being her family. Unable
to kill them, she would make them suffer more than death, in agony and redemption.
She took a deep breath..
Sheena quickly remembered the lies she told in front of Elliot, blaming Elijah for various things. She quickly clasped her hands together in a sincere act of remorse.
“Eli, don’t blame me for throwing you under the bus today. I said those things just to disgust Elliot and force him to call off the engagement.”
The servants had called her twice for dinner while she was praying. Once done, she leisurely went to the dining room, sitting on the chair with an icy expression.
As she lifted the soup spoon, getting ready to sip the sweet soup, Lauren opposite her wore a displeased look.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t our most pampered little princess! Even during meals, the elders have to wait for you. Have you forgotten all your manners these years?”
Albert cleared his throat. “Keep quiet.”
Lauren snorted coldly and rolled her eyes twice in a row.
Sheena was not about to tolerate it and slammed the spoon back into the bowl.
“Lauren, do you remember how you climbed into my dad’s bed to marry into the family? So quick to forget? A shameful thing like you dared to babble in front of me?”
“Enough! Both of you, stop talking and eat!” Albert was exasperated.
Sheena looked at him. “You heard it just now. I sat down to eat peacefully, and she started provoking me. If you can’t make her shut up, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay.”
She rose to go upstairs.
Albert softened his tone. “Sweetheart, don’t be angry! Just finish your meal first. I’ll try to handle these matters. Don’t think about moving out!”
Since Albert had said so, Sheena hesitated a bit.
However, Lauren glared at Albert and said, “Look at yourself! Sheena is spoiled by you! Lawless and unruly, she even uses past events to attack me. I won’t take it lying down!”
Sheena could not stand Lauren’s disgusting attitude. However, leaving was not an option for either. She called a few bodyguards into the dining room, pointing

to Lauren.
“Madam Lawson seems to be feeling upset. She probably lost her appetite. Escort her upstairs to rest.”
“Sheena, how dare you!” Lauren slapped the table forcefully.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Lauren met Sheena’s fierce gaze, gave in, and turned to Albert to pour out her grievances.
