Sheena immediately god up to answer the door.
“What’s going on? How did they end up arging out of the blue?”
Catching his breath, Ford explained, “Katie’s parents came over this morning I don’t know what they told Old Man Lawson, but Mr Itoward was still upset about last night’s events, probably because of the engagement and Ms. Chamberlain ”
Sheena frowned.
Albert already found out about Howard and Phoebe?
No wonder they were arguing!
She needed to go back quickly. Otherwise, Howard might end up losing the argument.
“Eli, I might come back late tonight,” Sheena informed Elliot as she put on her shoes.
Elliot stood up, calmly placed his tablet down, and walked over to Sheena. “Since it’s serious, I’ll go with you ”
Without much thought, Sheena replied, “This is my family’s internal affairs. It might not be appropriate for you to get involved. Stay home and rest. Remember to take your medicine!”
Elliot seemed a bit displeased but did not say anything more. He took a white windbreaker from the rack and helped Sheena put it on.
“Winter is just around the corner. Don’t catch a cold.”
Sheena tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek before swiftly leaving with Ford to return to Mountville.
As Sheena’s car ascended the hill, she spotted Phoebe’s slender figure anxiously pacing back and forth in front of Albert’s mansion.
She got out of the car and walked over, calling out, “Phoebe.”
Upon hearing her voice, Phoebe immediately ran over.
“Sheena, during lunch today, Old Man Lawson had someone summon Mr. Howard. He hasn’t come. out since, and they won’t let me in. I’ve been waiting outside, clueless about what’s happening inside!
Sheena grabbed Phoebe’s hand, patting it gently.
“Don’t worry. With me here, I’ll make sure to help Howard. Let’s go in.”
With Sheena backing her up, the bodyguards at the entrance did not dare to stop them.

When George heard that she had returned, he hurriedly ran over to greet her.
Sheena inquired, “Uncle George, where’s Corey?”
“Mr. Corey and Ms. Barbara haven’t been in Svelton recently. They took a flight somewhere. I don’t know when they’ll be back,” George replied.
Sheena’s expression turned serious as she remembered the crucial matter.
She turned to Ford, saying, “Go contact Corey. If he doesn’t answer, call Barbara. Tell them to return to Svelton within the next two days. I need to talk to them.”
“Yes, miss,” Ford responded, turning to attend to the task.
Holding Phoebe’s hand, Sheena made her way to the hall entrance. The large doors were tightly closed, and the sharp sound of smashing teacups emanated from inside, indicating a heated. argument. She furrowed her brow and was about to push the door open when George stopped her.
“Miss, you can enter the hall anytime, but Ms. Chamberlain is an outsider. She can’t come in.”
Phoebe, not wanting to cause any trouble, chimed in, “It’s okay, I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you outside.

Sheena nodded and immediately pushed open the doors.
Inside the hall, Albert sat in the main seat, visibly upset.
Lauren occupied a chair on the side, appearing nonchalant as if watching a drama unfold.
Howard stood in the center of the room with his back straight, unwavering in his conviction despite Albert’s furious reprimands.
