Chapter 570
1/2
Howard’s suit was stained with tea and water, clearly indicating that the sound of shattering teacups Sheena heard outside was Albert’s way of expressing his anger toward Howard.
The argument in the hall ceased as Sheena entered.
Lauren glanced at her with a hint of disdain and displeasure.
Albert’s gaze softened a bit, and he spoke in a milder tone, “Why are you back? Are you here to support Howard?”
“Dad, con,
it’s my home. Can’t I cback to take a look?” Sheena responded.
She pulled out a wet wipe and began wiping off the stains from Howard’s shoulder.

Howard shook his head. “It was just warm tea. Don’t worry.”
Albert grunted discontentedly, feeling a bit jealous. His beloved daughter had returned, but she was only concerned about Howard.
Why did she not ask him how he was or if Howard had upset him?
Sheena overheard and immediately squatted down next to Albert. She crossed her arms on his legs, draped with a blanket, and smiled sweetly at Albert.
“Dad, you usually have a gentle temper. What happened today? Getting so angry that you’re smashing teacups at Howard?”
Albert was irritated by this topic and glared at Howard before saying, “He decided on his own to break off the engagement with the Upton family and, knowing he had a fiancee, started an affair with that young actress.”
“Ron personally cand beggedto advise this brat against opposing the Upton family. He even asked for his help in removing them from the trending topics.”
Howard clenched his fists inside his sleeves and growled, “I’ve been generous enough not to add salt to their wounds. Now they wantto help? They can dream on!”
“Howard-”
Albert’s face instantly turned red, and he started coughing violently.
“Dad, calm down. Howard isn’t unreasonable,” Sheena comforted as she hurriedly patted his back to
soothe him.
Then, she signaled to Howard not to worsen the situation.
Howard’s expression darkened, but he remained silent.

With Sheena’s comfort, Albert gradually eased his anger.
She was about to start persuading him when she noticed Lauren.
“You should leave. I need to talk to Dad and Howard about something
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInitially reveling in the drama, Lauren suddenly found herself singled out and was visibly displeased.
“Sheena, are you trying to kickout? I’m part of the family. Is there anything I can’t hear here?”
Sheena glared at Lauren. “So what? They are my biological father and brother. I want to have a private conversation with them. What’s it got to do with you?”
Unable to argue with Sheena, Lauren sought help by appealing to Albert, pouting, “Honey, look at her. Is she really saying I’m an outsider? Aren’t you going to do anything?”
With a gentle expression, Albert joined Sheena in persuading, “Dear, maybe there’s something that needs to be discussed privately. You should leave first. Don’t worry, I’m here. No one in the Lawson family would dare treat you as an outsider.”
With things reaching this point, if Lauren did not leave, she might face another round of Sheena’s mockery.
Left with no choice, Lauren stomped her foot in frustration, slammed the door, and left.
Once she was gone, Sheena turned to Albert and continued, “Dad, you might be unaware of this, but due the reason Howard despises Katie so much is she repeatedly tried to killback in Farlem. Yet, to the Upton family’s influence, she got away with it every time, washing away any suspicion. I couldn’t find much evidence, so I never brought it up.”
Albert was taken aback. “Really?!”
“Yes, Dad.” Sheena massaged his legs and added, “At Katie’s birthday party last night, she drugged. me while I was talking to Colin, intending to frme by makingsleep with him. If I hadn’t been
alert, I would’ve been in the news you saw this morning!”
“What?!” Albert’s eyes widened, and he slammed the table, fury burning. “The Upton family clearly thinks I’m an old fool whom they can toy with!”
When Ron and Nicole cover this morning, they avoided mentioning the real reasons behind the Upton family’s situation. Instead, they selectively brought up Howard breaking off the engagement and affair, laying all the blon the Lawson family.
Now, looking back, it was truly despicable!
