Chapter 710
Sheena ignored the constant signals from the defendant’s seat.
She continued, “You don’t know because, over these twenty–plus years, while you may feel indebted to him, you’ve never cared about what he truly wanted. You’ve only forced upon him what you thought was good for him to ease your own guilt.
Kelly was slightly stunned, feeling scolded, and glared at Sheena with hostility.
“Yes, I’m clueless about them. I could’ve taken my time to understand him, but because of you, I lost him forever!”
Sheena lowered her long lashes, steering the narrative back on course.
“But here’s what I do know. When I was a little girl, I loved visiting the Nicholls family and tagging behind him. He was a devoted person. Once he made a decision, he wouldn’t change his mind.”
Sheena then continued listing, “His favorite fruits were cantaloupe and watermelon. He felt life was already unbearable, so he liked eating sweet things. He didn’t like foie gras and chitterlings. He said no matter how well the chef prepared them, he couldn’t accept the inherent strong smell. His most beloved woman was me, and his lifelong pursuit was being able to marry me.”
She then paused for a moment before continuing, “But I can never give him those two things in my lifetime. On our wedding day, he ultimately chose to fulfill my wishes, and what you’re doing now is trying to destroy everything he once deeply loved.”
Upon hearing Sheena’s words, Kelly was stunned. Her gaze met Sheena’s from a distance, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
She knew Nathaniel’s obsession with Sheena.
On their wedding day, he unhesitatingly stood in front of Sheena, glaring at her, the woman who was his mother, for the first time, shouting, “If you kill her, you’re killing me too!
Even if she were to win the case today and bring down Sheena, Nathaniel wouldnt her.
With these thoughts, Kelly considered withdrawing the lawsuit.
Seeing the guilt on Kelly’s face, the defendant’s side breathed a collective sigh of relief, secretly admiring Sheena’s tactics.
Maybe their bonuses were safe, after all.
Yet, while Kelly was in a dilemma, the lawyer suddenly approached her, whispering a few words in
her car.
Kelly widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Sheena with renewed hatred.
“Sheena, you’re shameless! Playing the emotional card with me on one hand and threatening me on. the other! Fine! Very well!”

She clenched her teeth, slamming the table abruptly.
The plaintiff’s lawyer immediately raised his hand, signaling, “Your Honor, our plaintiff is emotionally disturbed. We request a recess.‘Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Approved.”
With the judge’s approval, Kelly quickly left the courtroom.
Sheena, accompanied by her brothers, returned to their own lounge.
Perplexed about Kelly’s sudden loss of control, Sheena asked, “What did you do?”
Howard explained, “Phoebe found loving photos of Princess Kelly and her dad from their time in Laubabwe. In addition to the pictures, we have other evidence that solidifies Nathaniel not being an adopted son but rather Princess Kelly’s illegitimate child. We’ve already informed their lawyers about this matter. If Princess Kelly insists on proceeding with the case, we don’t mind exposing the royal scandal. We believe she’ll withdraw the lawsuit during the recess after weighing the pros and cons.
Sheena remained silent, her eyes calm. However, she did not let her guard down..
Considering Kelly’s long–standing stubbornness, would she really compromise when threatened?
But more than that, Sheena was worried about Phoebe..
“Phoebe delivered the photos personally? Where is she?”
Howard thought for a moment and replied, “She just said she went to the restr .. She’ll be back in the lounge to join us shortly.”
In the lounge on this side, Kelly was furious, tossing things around.
Harrold, fearing she would damage public property, had the room’s vases and teacups collected, offering her soft cushions to throw.
Kelly tore the pillow into pieces in a fit of rage, filling the air with stray cotton and feathers.
Harrold rubbed his temples.
Okay, they would have to compensate for the pillow. He had underestimated Kelly’s destructive. power!
