Chapter 764

“She offered 11.5 million right away, which was a generous amount, so I got tempted. I deliberately pretended to lose Bradley’s watch, convinced him to check the bar’s surveillance to find it, and asked him to help me erase the half–hour footage, just in case.
“When the photos surfaced on the internet today, I was baffled. I tried to contact that woman again, but there was no response. She didn’t transfer the commission directly. Instead, she sent someone to place the check at a specified location for me to pick up, and then I had to deposit it myself. I panicked, so I bought a plane ticket in the afternoon, planning to run away. I didn’t expect to be caught by you before I could leave.”
Skye listened attentively, utterly speechless.
“She’s obviously not a fan! She’s clearly a devil trying to destroy my whole family!”
Sheena and Elliot exchanged glances, realizing the situation was more complicated than it seemed.
Elliot asked, “Which company was the check made out to?”
Kyron thought carefully and replied, “I didn’t pay much attention then, but it seemed like… there was the word ‘Lawson‘? But maybe I misread it.”
As Kyron spoke, Sheena’s expression turned abruptly cold, but she remained silent.
Elliot continued, “You caused this situation, so you owe Skye an explanation. I’ll have Lionel take you for questioning. It’s your responsibility for the mistakes you made, do you understand?”
Kyron bowed his head in resignation, saying, “I’m sorry, Skye. I’ll take responsibility.”
Elliot glanced at Lionel, and Lionel immediately escorted both Kyron and Skye to the National Investigation Bureau for questioning.
Elliot planned to release an official statement using the bureau’s account to clear Skye’s name.
Once the others left, only Sheena and Elliot remained in the interrogation room.
Sheena’s brows furrowed as she spoke sternly, “The target of this incident isn’t Skye, it’s me. They used Skye as a pawn.”
Elliot pondered for a moment, commenting, “The accounts on the dark web are hard to trace, and the person probably used a false identity. Do you have any suspicions about who might be behind this?” Sheena gave it a thought and said, “Perhaps it’s Uncle Victor. I’ll look into it when I get back. They knew that I’d be involved with Skye’s matter. Moreover, it feels like they’re deliberately keeping me occupied; they might be plotting something big.”
“Nana, aren’t you supposed to return to the Lawson family the day after tomorrow? Uncle Albert intends to appoint you as the CEO of the Lawson Group, right?”
Sheena nodded, “In addition to that, I’ll gain the inheritance rights to all family assets. Once signed,

the entire Lawson family will be mine.”
הד
In the Lawson family, there was no concept of a reigning figure. Whoever held the inheritance rights had control over the entire family, becoming the family head.
Elliot pulled her into his arms, concern evident on his handsome face.
“How about not signing it this time? Can we delay it a bit more? The timing is too tight. They’ll likely act swiftly. However, this is a family matter for your Lawson family. Our wedding is scheduled for next month, and I don’t have the right to interfere. Nana, I’m worried…”
She held his face, analyzing the situation seriously as she said, “Precisely because time is limited, they’ll be anxious and more prone to making mistakes when they strike.
“If we wait and let them prepare thoroughly, the danger to me will increase. Trust me, no matter what, when I return to the Lawson family, I have my brothers there, and I’ll be safe,”
“Nana…”
Sheena placed a finger on his lips, silencing the words he wanted to express.
“Eli, you know me. Once I’ve made my decision, no amount of persuasion will change my mind.”
She smiled casually and said, “And who knows, maybe it won’t be as dangerous as you think in two days. The truth might come to light instead.”
