Chapter 767
The elderly man lay peacefully and calmly on the bed, showing no signs of reaction.
Sheena understood that he could not possibly react.
After all, Noah’s diagnosis was undoubtedly accurate.
Even so, she could not accept it and wanted to confirm once more.
Her nose tingled, tears clouding her vision. Intense sadness pressed on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. Soon, tears dropped onto the back of her hand uncontrollably.
“They’re monsters!” Sheena muttered softly, her gaze turning increasingly fierce.
She could not believe someone would commit such heinous acts against her beloved father just to obtain the inheritance.
She would not forgive them, even if they were her blood relatives, people she deeply loved or respected!
“Dad, rest assured, I’ll hold someone accountable for this, whoever they are. I won’t let them get away with it!”
Sheena caressed his hand, leaning her head on his arm. Tears silently flowed into her hair as she reminisced about the fatherly love Albert had showered upon her throughout the years.
“Miss.” George stood by the door, cautiously knocking. “Your brothers are all downstairs, waiting for
you.”
“Alright, I’ll be down in a moment.”
Sheena controlled the trembling in her voice, trying to sound calm. Then, she wiped away the tears from her face gracefully.
As George was about to turn and leave, he unexpectedly heard Sheena softly ask, “George, did any of them have a dispute with Dad recently?”
George pondered for a moment and replied, “Seems like Mr. Howard did. Because of Ms.
Chamberlain, he had another argument with Old Man Lawson.”
Sheena listened attentively, showing little expression. “What about Mr. Corey?”
“Mr. Corey came back a few days ago and had a discussion with Old Man Lawson in the study, but there was no dispute. It seemed quite harmonious.”
“Alright, I got it.”
She steadied her emotions and descended the stairs, holding the railing with composure.
In the living room, Corey remained seated in the center, with Barbara by his side, Noah and Howard on the left couch, and Lauren on the right.

Everyone had shed their usual smiles, and the atmosphere was heavy with sorrow,
Sheila stood quietly on the other side of the coffee table, her youthful yet stunning face adorned with
tear streaks.
The room was filled with an air of sadness.
Howard was the first to notice Sheena walking down the stairs, and he quickly walked over to assist her, guiding her to sit beside him.
Once Sheena was seated, Sheila began to express her sorrow.
“I’m sorry! As an illegitimate child, I know my name is not on the Lawson family ancestry, and I may not be suitable for gatherings like this.
“But when I heard about Dad’s accident, I was really worried. So, despite the objections, I rushed over. I’m truly sorry.”
The moment Sheila finished speaking, Noah furrowed his brow.
Howard also cast a cold glance at her, appearing surprised, his deep voice carrying an unfriendly tone.
“You’re not my sister! Why didn’t I know Dad had an illegitimate daughter? Anyway, I only have one sister, Sheena Lawson. I only recognize her.”
Sheila’s eyes instantly turned red, sobbing, “If my presence makes you uncomfortable, I’ll leave right away.”
