Chapter 790
Tonight, Sheila made a grand entrance, dressed in a magnificent and the gold coud gown that perfectly complemented her naturally beautiful face, making her look like the most durished princess in the castle.
As she entered, the applause from all the guests erupted.
Moreover, Sheila was a renowned celebrity.
Hence, the venue was also filled with many media reporters, and their cameras flatbed around br exquisite face, capturing every moment.
Sheila remained calm and composed, exuding the grace of an heiress, shining brightly ador the
crowd.
Some guests noticed Sheena’s absence despite her being one of the Lawson family’s daughters, but their attention was quickly diverted by Sheila’s beauty.
With Albert still unconscious, Corey became the sole head of the Lawson family. He took the mage and delivered a necessary speech, congratulating Sheila on her return banquet and preparing for the nex important mafter.
In front of all the guests, Corey announced his intention to hand over the inheritance rights to Stella.
Sheila appeared surprised and honored, graciously accepting the microphone, and modestly saying. Corey, I know you love me and want to give me everything, but I’m used to the entertainment industry. I’m really not cut out for inheriting the family business.
Her sincerity elicited laughter from many guests and media members.
Some were drawn to this nineteen–year–old girl’s candidness.
Amidst the applause and laughter, Sheila continued, “So, Corey, I believe the inheritance rights should go to you, the most capable member of our family!”
Corey’s gaze remained sharp, not immediately agreeing.
He spoke gently, “You’re the youngest, and our family owed you the most for everything over the years. Besides, according to Lawson family tradition, inheritance rights are passed to daughters. So, this inheritance rightfully belongs to you.”
“Corey, I don’t believe in these traditions. I only believe in meritocracy. Please, stop humoring me,
Sheila insisted.
The two stood on stage; displaying a deep sibling bond, harmoniously insisting on yielding to each
other.
Eventually, after Sheila’s persistent persuasion, Corey reluctantly accepted the responsibility of signing the inheritance rights document.
Chapter 790
The Lawson family’s lawyer, Ricky, approached the stage with the inheritance document.
Corey took the pen from Shella and prepared to sign his name on the Inheritance document.
“Wait a minute!”
A voice suddenly interrupted from outside the mansion’s gate.
Corey’s hand trembled slightly, causing the pen tip to drop a blot of ink, conveniently smudging the spot where he was supposed to sign his name.
Though he recognized the woman’s voice, he still looked up to confirm.
All the guests below also turned their heads to look toward the gate.
Sheena appeared in a fiery red gown, exuding a commanding presence even without wearing high heels.
The irises on the hem swayed gracefully, accentuating her elegant and aloof demeanor.
Elliot was by her side, sporting his signature silver–gray mask.

One exuded cold pride, while the other smirked with subtle sarcasm.
Together, they entered the mansion’s garden, instantly capturing the attention of all the guests and media.
With Sheena’s arrival, the guests finally noticed that the cherished heiress of the family, Sheena, had just arrived late?!
The scene erupted with commotion, filled with suspicion and gossip.
Onstage, Sheila calmly picked up the microphone, attempting to regain control of the situation.
“Sheena, tonight is my big day. Why did you and Mr. Jenkins arrive so late?”
The implication was to shift the blame onto Sheena, accusing her of being late and suggesting there was no need to make a fuss about it.
Sheena met Sheila’s gaze from afar, her eyes filled with mocking amusement.
“Sheila, even if you were to graciously concede the inheritance rights to Corey, it’s not up to you to decide!”
