Chapter 887
Howard glared at Sheena with bloodshot eyes, tightly gripping her wrist. He was completely unaware of how tightly he held it, causing her skin to pale.
Elliot swiftly pushed Howard away, pulling Sheena into his arms and massaging her wrist to ease the
pain.
Sheena sighed, her tone serious as she explained, “Howard, you’ve been too irrational tonight. I
understand your feelings, but I can’t agree to you giving away 15% of the group’s shares to the Nicholls family.”
Howard stared at her in disbelief. “Sheena, you keep saying you’re like sisters with Phoebe, yet you’re unwilling to help her now that she’s in danger. When did you become so heartless?”
“Me? Heartless?” Sheena chuckled, feeling her anger rising.
However, considering Howard’s distress, she patiently said, “I don’t want to argue with someone who’s not thinking clearly. Let’s discuss this tomorrow.”
A chill flashed in Howard’s eyes.
The scenes from the banquet had already consumed his rationality entirely.
“It’s fine if you won’t help. I’ll save her myself. I have the final say over my shares in the Lawson
Group.”
He turned to leave, and Sheena’s anger surged. Without hesitation, she stormed up and slapped him
across the face.
The loud smack meant she had put all her strength into it, causing Howard’s face to turn to the side with a red mark quickly appearing
He stared at her in disbelief.
Even Elliot was stunned, frozen in place.
Howard rubbed his sore cheek, his eyes slowly filling with
anger.
“Sheena, did you just hit me?”
Facing his questioning gaze head–on, Sheena did not flinch, raising her chin without a hint of hesitation.
“I didn’t hit you as a sister. I hit you as the head of the Lawson family to discipline you. Can you be rational now? Can you listen seriously to the head of the family?”
Her face was stern, displaying the authority of the family head.
Despite the rage burning in his heart, Howard did not say anything more.
Seeing that he was somewhat disciplined, Sheena continued, “Howard, you’re not dumb. I’m giving

Howard could not believe it, obviousbe hurt, as he stared at her.
“Shea, are you trying to imprison
“We’re family, so it shouldn’t be considered imprisonment but merely a restriction. This is the punishment for speaking disrespectfully to the family head,” Sheena stated firmly, cutting off objection from Howard

Without waiting for Howard to respond, Sheena turned to Elliot. “Honey, could you please arrange for a squad of available soldiers to surround this mansion?
Elliot nodded decisively. “Sure thing, honey.”
Sheena added, “Make sure each soldier carries a baton. If he tries to sneak out, there’s no need to notify me just give him a good beating”
“Got it.” Elliot suppressed a chuckle.
He knew that if Howard got hurt, Sheena would be the one feeling sad in the end.
With the instructions given, Sheena turned her attention back to Howard,
“I’m now the head of this family, and everyone must obey me. If you don’t comply, I’ll have the family’s disciplinary measures. Feel free to try me, but don’t expect me to show any mercy.”
Howard scoffed lightly. “Do you think I’m afraid of a beating?

Sheena raised an eyebrow coldly, mocking, “You should be. If you really anger me, I’ll knock you out cold and leave you bedridden for days, unable to do anything but watch Phoebe’s engagement party live stream from your bed. Care to experience that?”
Howard clenched his jaw tightly, refusing to say another word.
Sheena linked arms with Elliot and walked away.
Before leaving, she left one final remark, “Call me when you’re calm enough to think things through.”
Howard stood still, silently watching Sheena and Elliot enter their car.
However, the luxurious vehicle remained stationary for a while.
It was not until fifteen minutes later that the sound of disciplined footsteps approached.
A group of soldiers surrounded the entire mansion, leaving no blind spots in their defense.
The soldiers were straightforward and did not waste any time, promptly ushering Howard back into the mansion and slamming the door shut.
As Howard disappeared into the mansion, Sheena and Elliot’s car quickly vanished into the darkness of the night.
