Instantly, her knees went weak, and Sheena knelt down immediately.
The living room’s sofa had a round rug underneath, and she deliberately chose a soft spot.
Corey smiled when he witnessed her dramatic action, but his gaze remained cold.
“So obedient, eh? Didn’t I make myself clear before?”
Sheena lowered her gaze, sounding somewhat sad as she said, “You said that if I slept with him again,
you’d break my legs. No amount of persuasion would change your mind.”
“Ms. Lawson, how many times have you done it after that?” Corey mocked, using a formal address as
a stormy prelude.
Sheena sensed trouble brewing and felt a shiver down her spine.
“Probably… four or five times?” As soon as those words left her lips, she felt the sharp chill emanating
from Corey.
She hastily added, “I understand that your requests are for my own good, fearing that if Elliot and I

reputation in our circles.”
“But I’ve never cared about what others think. As long as I live as I want, that’s enough. And besides,
Elliot has been good to me…”
Corey interrupted her with a scoff. “I heard he’s been getting close to that celebrity spokesperson from
the Jenkins Group lately, showing no regard for decency. Do you call that treating you well?”
Sheena was taken aback. “Where did you hear that?”
“The agent of that female celebrity spilled the details of your argument at the Jenkins Group. If it
weren’t for Howard and me intervening, the affairs between you two would have shaken the stock
markets of both the Jenkins and Lawson families for a couple of days.”
That Sheila was such a troublemaker!
Despite Sheena’s disdain, there were more pressing matters at hand. She lowered her head, unsure
how to explain the situation to Corey, especially since Elliot’s illness could not be disclosed yet.
With his elegant and poised movements, Corey stood up, adjusting his suit cuffs.

“He betrayed you once before, and you believe him? I don’t. You just patched things up, and he’s
already picking fights with you, messing around with a female celebrity. I won’t let him off the hook!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorey’s jawline tensed, and he crouched in front of Sheena, surprisingly using a gentle tone.
“Nana, I won’t hit you this time. I’ll help you end this marriage and figure out a way to deal with him. If
you can’t marry into a prestigious family in the future, I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
“No, please!” Seeing the murderous intent in Corey’s eyes, Sheena resigned herself, “I won’t end the
marriage, and it’s always me who initiates. It’s my fault. Don’t think about his life. Just… hit me
instead!”
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Sheena lowered her head, struggling to breathe under Corey’s furious aura.
Despite being the pampered princess of the Lawson family, her fear of Corey was ingrained. When
they were younger, both she and Howard, close in age, were unruly, and their parents could not control
them.
They were forcefully disciplined by Corey, leaving lingering fear in her to this very day.
Sheena was terrified. However, crossing this hurdle was crucial for her to bring up Nathaniel’s matter.
Corey stood up in silence, wearing a stern expression with a menacing gaze.
“Seems like you intentionally came here asking for trouble. Fine, I’ll do as you wish.”
He unfastened his belt buckle, swiftly pulled it out, folded it, and gestured toward the sofa armrest. His
tone was icy as he ordered, “Get down.”
