Chapter 793
Corey’s face turned pale Instantly, rendered speechless by Sheena’s words. He had not expected Elliot to sacrifice the honor and interests of the entire Jenkins family for Sheena, giving her all his property
and shares.
It was truly ironic and absurd.
“I’m sorry,” Corey uttered.
Beyond those words, any further explanation seemed feeble.
Sheena wiped away her tears, feeling utterly disappointed in Corey.
“Even if you didn’t do these things yourself, it’s because of your indulgence that Sheila could act so recklessly. You protected her and concealed the truth of her harming me, causing me to end up homeless in Farlem at fifteen, suffering for six years in the Freeman family.
“This harm isn’t something you can offset with a mere punishment and six months of suffering for
her!
“At Clear Crane Bridge in Farlem, she, along with Keanu, hired forty assassins from the black market. to kill me, forcing me to jump into the chilling river! At Eros Bar in Farlem, she and Uncle Barrett bribed Nathaniel to steal $404 to harm me. She sowed discord between me and Elliot, acted as Katie’s advisor, and, on Katie’s birthday, tried to push me into Colin’s bed! She even sent you to break Katie and Jennifer out of prison, continuously causing trouble in my life.”
Sheena paused to take a breath, then continued, “All these things are the result of you and Dad spoiling her! I won’t forgive you. You want the Lawson family inheritance? Take it. Consider it a reward for loving and bringing me up over the years. However, we’re no longer siblings, Corey!”
After saying these words coldly, Sheena brushed past Corey.
Her face was resolute, and her eyes filled with boundless hatred and anger.
Corey’s eyes reddened too, and just as Sheena was about to open the door, he called out to her.
“Nana, I’m sorry. I never realized how much I hurt you. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but I’ll repent and try to make it up to you. About Sheila… You can make her pay the price, but please spare her life.”
Sheena thought it was simply insulting, and she tightened her grip on the door handle.
“You really treat her differently. Even after I listed all her crimes, you still plead for her.”
Corey hung his head, suppressing the guilt within him.
His eyes were tearing up as he spoke, “When I was on a military mission, her mother sacrificed her life to save mine. I owe her mother a great debt. I promised to take good care of Sheila, to protect her throughout her life, and Dad felt the same. He was already feeling indebted to Sheila as she was an illegitimate child. Later, when I made Sheila lose her mother again, he became especially tolerant and

affectionate toward her.”
Albert was a gentle and caring father to his children, but he was not a good husband.
He loved three women in his lifetime.”
Corey sighed, his voice choked with emotion as he continued, “Nana, I’m begging you this time. Please spare her.”
Sheena’s heart skipped a beat, her pupils trembling, frozen in place.
Since childhood, Corey had been the figure she revered the most.
he
When she made mistakes, Corey would educate and discipline her. Yet, after every punishment, was always the one who felt the worst, willing to move heaven and earth to pamper and protect her.
Corey seemed like a strict yet nurturing mother figure, while Albert was an approachable, gentle father figure.
However, her beloved brother was pleading with her for the first time, just for Sheila’s sake.
Sheena’s face was filled with disdain, and she scoffed.
“Don’t call me Nana. From now on, I don’t want to hear that word from your mouth again. I only have Noah and Howard as brothers now. The big brother I once loved died in my heart when I was fifteen.” With those words, she opened the door and left without looking back.
