Chapter 886

“Alright, I'll take care of all the guests for you, don’t worry,” Romello said softly.

Phoebe nodded and turned to leave the stage, with a servant immediately stepping forward to assist her up the

stairs.

Howard moved to follow, but Elliot held him back firmly.

“Let go!”

Elliot did not release his grip, preventing him from losing control.

Sheena stood up as well.

“Mr. Romello, Howard isn’t feeling well today. We'll take our leave.”

“Sure,” Romello replied calmly as Howard was led away by Sheena and Elliot.

The atmosphere in the car on the way back to Howard's mansion was tense.

All three of them were reflecting on what had happened at the banquet.

Sheena offered a rational analysis, “Phoebe’s behavior was indeed strange. Just now, she had to be helped down

the stage by a servant and seemed unsteady on her feet. It appears she’s truly unwell.”

She continued, “And she didn’t even glance atonce, which is very odd. We've known each other for years

since the orphanage, and she’s always treatedlike a sister. | was sitting right next to Howard, so it’s

impossible for her to completely ignore my presence.”

Howard kept his head down, his fists clenched tightly, silently holding back his emotions.

Elliot chimed in, “Nana, did you notice? Although her makeup was flawless tonight, you could still see the fatigue

in her eyes, as if she hadn't rested well.”

“Yeah, it’s really strange. She’s a girl with strong character. Since she’s with Howard, she wouldn't easily move

on, and she wouldn't be interested in Wayne, a middle-aged widower.”

Sheena advised, “Howard, don’t rush. We need to carefully find out what happened to Phoebe tonight, and

whether Romello said or did anything to her.”

Howard listened quietly.

His mind was filled only with Phoebe’s words of agreeing to be with Wayne.

That sentence echoed repeatedly in his mind, accompanied by Phoebe’s cold gaze. Moreover, his heart was also

in turmoil.

Howard was escorted back to the mansion by Sheena in a daze, clutching her wrist tightly, his eyes red as he

pleaded.

“Nana, | want to give 15% of my shares in the Lawson Group to the Nicholls family as an engagement

Kim.”

Sheena sighed, commenting, “Howard, you're not calm enough right now. You can’t make any decisions at the

moment. Let's take a couple of days to think this through, okay?”

“How can | be calm?” Howard gripped her wrist tightly, filled with regret, his voice trembling as he spoke

“I was wrong. | should've married her regardless. | was too greedy, thinking that by restoring her status as a

wealthy heiress, we could be socially accepted without question. | knew she wasn’t willing on the surface, but

deep down, she longed for her family’s love. That's why | encouraged her to return to the Nicholls family.

Romello has no affection for her at all. He treats her like a commodity. Tonight's events were definitely forced by

Romello. It's all my fault. I've pushed her into this mess with my own hands. I've betrayed her.”

His eyes were red and swollen, his emotions increasingly gloomy as he fought back tears.

“Nana, please, just this once, letuse the 15% of shares in the Lawson Group to make amends, to rescue her

from the Nicholls family.”

Seeing him in such distress, Sheena felt a pang of sympathy. However, the news of Phoebe’s engagement to

Wayne had been publicly announced tonight.

Even if Howard went to Romellow with the Lawson Group's shares tomorrow, it would be meaningless. It could

not change reality.

Besides, the supposed engagement would be in two weeks.

Hence, the top priority now was to figure out what had happened to Phoebe and find a way to meet

her alone.

“Howard, the shares aren’t the root cause. You need to calm down first. Your thoughts are all over the place right

now, and any decision you make won't be rational.”

Howard looked at her in shock. “If this happened to you, could you stay calm? Taking my own 15% of the group's

shares wouldn't harm any of your personal interests. Why won't you agree? Besides, you saw it tonight just like |

did. Romello clearly did something to her. How can I stand by and watch her get engaged to Wayne?”
