Chapter 465
Sheena was pondering when a limited–edition black Lamborghini circled the fountain and parked at the entrance. The bodyguard in the front seat got out first, assisting in opening the car door.
A woman got out of the car, dressed in an elegant white gown, tall and beautiful- it was Barbara. Apart from being known as Corey’s wife, she had once been hailed as the most beautiful flight attendant at Froania Air.
“Barbara, what brings you here?” Sheena politely greeted her.
“Corey had to handle matters at the National Affairs Bureau, and I had nothing to do. So, I came to show my support for you.”
Seeing Sheena, Barbara first smiled gracefully. Like sisters, she naturally took Sheena’s wrist but quickly noticed the quiet building, glancing at the time.
“Why is it so deserted at this hour? Who’s pulling tricks?”
Barbara immediately grasped the situation. If no business magnates attended the event until the ribbon–cutting, it would make headlines in the afternoon. Consequently, Sheena’s aspiration to break away from the Lawson family’s assistance and establish an independent business would become a subject of online mockery.
It was apparent that someone was purposely causing trouble.
Sheena appeared serious, but Barbara seemed even more solemn.
Sheena consoled her with a smile, “Barbara, don’t worry. Maybe they had some
issues on the way.”
She then turned to Wendy, who had been transferred from Farlem. “Call the names on the list and ask what happened. Inquire if they need any assistance.”
“Yes, Ms. Lawson.”
Barbara shook her head. “No one showed up. It’s not a coincidence. Don’t worry about me. You’re feeling worse.
Sheena remained composed. “What’s there to fear? We still have twenty minutes before it starts. Even if no one comes today, I’ll still cut the ribbon!”
As she finished speaking, the carefree laughter of a woman echoed from near the fountain.
Lauren, dressed in a captivating purple dress, gracefully approached.
“This is the funniest joke I’ve heard today. It seems our little princess won’t get any respect without the Lawson family’s name. How pitiful.”
Barbara and Sheena’s expression instantly turned cold.
“Why aren’t you staying at home and looking after Dad?” Barbara’s attitude toward her was far from respectful due to the absence of others.
“He has trouble moving around, so I came on his behalf to take a look.”
Lauren rolled her eyes mockingly, “Sheena, I hope today’s events teach you a lesson. You need to understand that without the Lawson family, you’re nothing!”
“Oh?” Sheena smirked, maintaining her calm demeanor, and showing no signs of panic. “The event doesn’t start for another twenty minutes. Why are you in such a hurry?”

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
