Chapter 557
Who could be helping her?
For some reason, Sheila’s face appeared in her mind….
That woman seemed to know a lot about her past in Farlem.
Seeing Sheena remain silent, Katie bragged, “What’s the matter, Sheena? Found out your tough tactics don’t work on me? Feeling a bit uneasy, aren’t you?”
Sheena’s aura did not diminish due to Katie’s provocations. If anything, it became more intense.
She elegantly replied, “I love a good challenge. Since you don’t attach great importance to the matter, let’s turn this party into a show. But I believe your family can’t take it as lightly as you do.”
She checked the time and continued, “Eight more minutes to your birthday celebration. If it turns into a joke among the elite families, let’s see if your parents will really let this slide.”
“Sheena, you’re intentionally making trouble for me!”
Katie’s expression twisted with anger.
Both stood their ground, displaying unwavering determination.
In front of Anita and Jaime, Katie could not easily back down.
Until Colin’s voice echoed from the corridor…
“Katie, Sheena, what’s going on?”
Sheena remained composed, leaning gracefully against the doorframe.
Colin looked at Katie, who remained silent.
Finally, Jaime stepped forward, quickly explaining the situation to him.
After hearing the details, Colin said with a polite smile, “It’s not a big deal. Today is Katie’s birthday. There’s no need for hostilities. I remember Katie has other custom–made performance costumes
stored in the storeroom.”
He turned to a servant, instructing, “Check the storeroom immediately and provide new sets of costumes for all the members. Be quick.”
“Yes, Mr. Upton.”
Katie felt disgruntled but said nothing, rolling her eyes a few times, and then walked away.
Colin was still smiling warmly like a courteous gentleman.
He apologized to the girls in the room, “This is an oversight by our family. I’ll personally make amends and offer a toast to each of you at the banquet later.”

“Thank you, Mr. Upton, you’re so kind.”
All the girls, except Phoebe, nodded shyly, their fondness for him skyrocketing instantly.
Since Colin played the peacemaker, there was nothing Sheena could say. She turned away, and Colin quietly followed, walking beside her.
“Sheena, it’s nice to finally have a private chat with you,” Colin said, trying to catch up.
Sheena ignored him completely, walking even faster.
The Upton mansion was vast, and their footsteps echoed through the wide, quiet corridors.
Colin took a deep breath, gathered his determination, and stepped before her.
“Sheena, I swear this is the last time. I just can’t accept it. Even if you’re determined to reject me, you should give me a reasonable explanation.”

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