Chapter 783
In front of the rack of dresses, Sheila eagerly showed Sheena the dresses she had chosen.
“Sheena, I think these are all beautiful. Which one do you think suits me best?”
Sheena pursed her lips and smiled, replying, “You need to try them on to see if they fit.”
“You’re right,” Sheila agreed and immediately turned to the sales assistant, saying, “Take these to the fitting room. I want to try them on.”
“Sure.”
The sales assistant quickly took the carefully selected dresses and headed to the fitting room.
Once the assistant left, Sheila once again grabbed Sheena’s arm, smiling brightly as she said, “It’s inconvenient to be alone with all these dresses. Can you come in with me and help me fasten the
buttons?”
Sheena did not say anything, not explicitly agreeing but not refusing either.
Sheila took it upon herself to lead her into the fitting room.
As Sheila undressed in front of Sheena, there was no sign of discomfort or shyness, as if they were longtime close friends.
Sheena leaned against the wall, watching her coldly.
“You didn’t call me here just to help you pick out clothes. I don’t like beating around the bush. It’s just the two of us here, so speak plainly.”
Sheila paused briefly as she put on the dress, then continued with elegance, “Sheena, haven’t you always wondered how I bagged all those awards in the entertainment industry at nineteen and who my untouchable benefactor was?”
She wore a mysterious expression, adding, “Actually, it was two people, both helping me and granting me significant power.”
Sheena listened quietly, not saying a word.
As Sheila slipped on her heels, she continued, “You may have forgotten about the things that happened when you were fifteen, but I haven’t. Our first meeting was in the streets. You saw me and thought I was pitiful and adorable, so you decided to adopt me. And I liked you, Sheena. But I didn’t just like you. I also liked your dad and your brothers. I was greedy, thinking I’d be the Lawson family’s little princess if I got rid of you.”
Sheena furrowed her brows.
These words were exactly the same as what she heard in her recurring nightmares.
“So, I secretly stole a drug that could stimulate the nerves from Noah and lured you out. I caught you

off guard, stabbed the needle into your neck, and pushed you into the sea. But I never expected you to survive. You’re really lucky.”
Sheena clenched her fists tightly, her voice icy as she asked, “Aren’t you afraid I brought a recording pen with me today?”
Sheila covered her mouth and laughed, her face still as beautiful.
“Since I dared to tell you, it’s only natural that I’m not afraid! Sheena, did you really think that with our family’s power, it would take them this long to find you? In fact, they have known all along, and they tacitly approved of my actions.”
Sheena’s heart tightened, her fingertips turning white from the pressure as she suppressed her anger and regained her composure.
“Who are you talking about?”
“Why don’t you give a guess?” Sheila’s face was full of mystery as she leaned in close to Sheena’s ear, her smile full of mischief. “Could it be that all of our brothers are involved?”
Sheena remained silent, her expression icy, her heart even colder.
Sheila walked to the mirror, striking elegant and graceful poses, exuding a star–like aura.
Seeing Sheena still rooted in place, Sheila’s eyes filled with scorn as she mocked, “How does it feel to be distrusted by your beloved brothers? But Sheena, what can you do now? Our brothers have completely accepted me. Corey is keeping my identity as Dad’s illegitimate daughter a secret, wanting me to become the true heiress of the Lawson family. Noah frequently checks on and cares for my health. Even Howard came personally to accompany me in choosing a dress today. They’re no longer
just yours!”
She was all smiles, her face stunning yet arrogant.
“Are you deliberately saying these things to provoke me, trying to anger me?” Sheena raised her cold gaze, staring at her. “Well, let me tell you, you succeeded. But provoking me comes with a price.”
With those words, Sheena’s eyes suddenly turned fierce. She stepped forward, grabbing Sheila’s delicate hair with her left hand and raising her right hand, delivering a heavy slap across her face.
