Chapter 418
“Dear, say something. Are you just going to watch your daughter bully me like this? I don’t care! You
have to choose between having dinner with her or me!”
Albert found himself caught in the middle, torn between the two.
Sheena looked at him with a sigh. His face, wrinkled with age, seemed weary. She had not been back
in years, and her father had aged a lot. As a daughter, she did. not want to cause him distress, but
coexisting peacefully with Lauren was challenging.
“Forget it. I don’t want to eat.”
She stood up, adjusted her dress, and walked out, not heading upstairs but toward the entrance.
“Sweetheart, it’s late. Where are you going?”
Albert called after her, but she left without turning back. His beloved daughter was upset, leaving Albert
feeling guilty.
Lauren shrugged indifferently. “She’s a grown woman. She won’t get into trouble. Don’t spoil her. Let’s
eat.”
“Lauren! I don’t even know what to say to you!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlbert got angry but was too frustrated to continue scolding Lauren. Feeling nauseous, he ate a few
bites and went upstairs.
Lauren did not mind it. After all, her appetite was excellent.
Since it was Sheena’s first night back home, Albert had instructed the chef to prepare ten exquisite
dishes. Proud to win a round against Sheena, Lauren savored each dish prepared for her.
Tonight, Sheena’s mood hit rock bottom. She did not want to return to the Lawson estate and trouble
Albert further. Instead, she decided to take John and Sawyer to Hedone Bar, renting a private room to
drown her sorrows in alcohol. Among the bodyguards, only Ford had received guidance from Howard
and could persuade Sheena. The other two, currently standing outside the door, were worried she
might overindulge and become intoxicated.
They were contemplating whether to call Ford for help when Colin happened to pass by in the hallway.
“Is Sheena inside?”
The two guards exchanged glances but did not respond.
Colin did not find it awkward at all. He quietly opened the door, took a glance, and saw Sheena drinking
alone, indulging in liquor with high alcohol content. Her face was flushed, lying on the sofa in an
intoxicated haze, but she kept on drinking.
“Getting drunk is harmful to your health. Let me go in and talk to her.”
The two guards had no better solution, and since Colin was Sheena’s friend, they did not stop him,
thinking maybe he could persuade her.
Colin entered the room, sat beside Sheena, and gently advised, “Sheena, stop drinking. You’re already
drunk. How about I take you home?”
With half–closed and hazy eyes, feeling dizzy, Sheena was truly intoxicated.
“Eli, I miss you. Don’t leave, come back, please?”
Her voice was faint, and Colin, leaning closer, could barely make out her murmured words.
Eli?
Was she calling for Elijah?
Suppressing his own discomfort, Colin comforted her, “Sheena, I won’t leave you. I’m not going
anywhere.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheena did not respond further; she fell completely onto the sofa and drifted asleep.
After checking with Sawyer, Colin learned that Sheena was in a bad mood tonight and did not want to
return to the Lawson estate. He decided to let John and Sawyer use his card to book a hotel room
nearby for Sheena.
Once John and Sawyer left, Colin helped Sheena out of the private room. After just a few steps, a
figure swiftly appeared before them. Before Colin could react, the woman he was supporting had
already been transferred to the arms of the man.
Word-
The man silver–gray mask, and though his face was not visible, the clear anger in his eyes was
evident. Just by looking at the mask, Colin knew his identity and greeted him with a smile.
“Mr. Jenkins, what a coincidence. Are you here for a social event?”
Ignoring him, Elliot carefully held Sheena, who was unconscious, in his arms. After observing her
condition, his eyes showed even more hostility.

“She has always had a good tolerance for alcohol. How did she end up this drunk? What did you do to
her?”
