Chapter 792
“I don’t care if you knew about any of this or not, Corey. I’m holding you responsible for everything! Besides, if Dad has an accident, I should be the one handling the whole Lawson family! Whether or not I inherit, that’s not for you to decidel”
Then, she turned to Noah, Howard, and Elliot.
“Keep an eye on Lauren and Shella, Don’t let those two bitches escape. I’ll settle the score with them later!”
After giving her instructions, she turned back to Corey.
“You’re coming with me.
She marched into the mansion, and Corey followed her silently.
They entered the bedroom where Sheena had stayed before, and Corey closed the door and stood by it, waiting for her to speak.
Feeling a bit weary, Sheena sat on the edge of the bed, staring at him from a distance.
“I wanted to speak to you alone because there are some things I need to discuss with you privately. I can’t believe that my big brother, who has loved and cared for me for so many years, would become the person who hurt me the most.”
“Nana…” Corey started to speak but sighed eventually, unable to find the words.
Sheena continued, “When I was fifteen, Sheila injected me with psychotropic drugs and pushed me into the water. Did you know about that?”
Corey closed his eyes, masking his guilt. “Yes, I knew.”
“How long have you known?”
“I knew about it a long, long time ago.”
Sheena’s eyes widened slightly, feeling suffocated. Her voice choked up as she added, “Were you
it?”
“No, it wasn’t me.”
Since it was a private conversation, Corey chose to confess everything.

“I was indeed the first to know, but Shella was the sole mastermind behind that. I would never trade your life for any benefit. When I found out about it, I punished Sheila severely and seized all her film and television resources, making her suffer for almost half a year. It was only because Dad pitied her that I let her go, but Dad didn’t know the truth about what Sheila did to you.
He paused for a moment, then said, “The ones supporting Shella were me and Dad. Whatever she wanted, both of us did everything to satisfy her.”

Sheena was puzzled. “Why do you protect her? If she did something wrong, she should face the consequences!”
“I… really punished her.”
“So what?” Sheena’s tone grew heavier. “She harmed me not once, but multiple times! She tried to kill me on each of those attempts! Your casual punishment doesn’t compensate for all the harm she’s caused me.”
Corey closed his eyes again, unable to respond.
her
Sheena composed herself and continued to inquire, “What about this time? Was it you, or was it her acting on her own?”
“She knew I wanted the Lawson family inheritance, so she acted first, forcing me to stand with her. I only found out about everything when I arrived at the mansion on the day Dad had an accident.”
Sheena clenched the bed sheets tightly as tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
She tried to maintain her composure.
“Corey, are you that reckless? If you really wanted the inheritance, couldn’t you just tell me? How can you be so sure I wouldn’t be willing to give it to you? You don’t even trust your own sister of over twenty years, but you trust Sheila, this illegitimate daughter?”
Corey responded, “You have Elliot by your side. Since he returned to Svelton, the Jenkins family took over the title of the wealthiest family. He’s cunning in business, and I can’t trust him! If you marry him, it’s like handing over the entire century–old legacy of the Lawson family to the Jenkins family! Dad may be clueless, willing to take this risk and give you the inheritance, but I can’t ignore this threat. Only when the inheritance is in my hands can I rest assured and reclaim the once glorious. status of the Lawson family!”
Tears continued to fall from Sheena’s eyes as she listened, laughing bitterly. “So, that was your thought all along. And it’s the supposedly cunning Elliot in your eyes who, when I was left homeless by you and Sheila, resolutely transferred all his properties, real estate, and stocks to my name, even though he knew the Jenkins family would punish him for it. Don’t you find that ironic, Corey?”
