Sheila licked the damaged inner lining of her mouth with her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
It took her a while to recover from the intense pain.
It was not until John approached again and pulled her up, making her kneel once more, that her thoughts gradually returned.
Sheena was still seething with anger from Shella’s recent remarks, her chest heaving violently.
Elliot quickly patted his darling’s back to soothe her escalating rage.
With him around, Sheena quickly calmed down and calmly addressed Sheila.
“You’ve always seen me as your biggest enemy, causing all sorts of trouble. I just can’t understand it. Why do you hate me so much?”
Sheila glanced at Noah and Howard sitting on either side of the sofa, their faces icy cold, showing no signs of sympathy as they watched her get beaten.
She let out a cold, disdainful laugh, replying, “Both of us are daughters of the Lawson family, but you’re the beloved little princess showered with endless love from our brothers and dad. How could you possibly understand the feelings of an illegitimate child like me?”
Sheila paused for a breath, then listed, “On New Year’s Eve, your family gathered for dinner while I sat alone in an empty house, feeling miserable. When I was a child, I saw Dad holding you, and 1 wanted
to go over and call him ‘Dad‘, but Uncle George pulled me aside and told me that outside, Albert Lawson wasn’t my father, that he only had one daughter, Sheena Lawson. Dad and Corey did give me many things, but they couldn’t give me what I truly wanted. Well, I had no choice but to fight for it myself, even if it meant using despicable means. But it was worth it as long as I got what I wanted!”
She paused for another breath, then continued,
Sheena, I don’t actually hate you. I just feel it’s unfair. So, I wanted to switch places with you because the Lawson family can only have one darling princess, and you were in my way.”
The living room fell into a long silence.
When Sheena’s DNA test results were tampered with by Frazer, nearly branding her as the illegitimate daughter of a convict, she was actually quite upset.
Additionally, there was the incident with Nathaniel…
Such a humiliating identity could be quite devastating for a prestigious family like the Lawsons.
Sheena could somewhat understand Sheila’s struggle with being fixated on her illegitimate daughter status for so many years. However, that did not justify all the evil deeds Sheila had committed.

Since she had done them, she must face the consequences of her actions.
Noah and Howard had no emotional attachment to Sheila.
For them, the existence of an illegitimate daughter would disrupt the harmony of their original family, and it was simply repulsive.
Howard stared at Sheila and spoke bluntly, “You’ve already lived better than many people. It’s your own greed that led you here. An illegitimate daughter is just that, an illegitimate daughter. Do you think you’ll be a princess just by forcing your way in and dressing like one?
“Who do you think you are, trying to replace Nana?”
His last sentence particularly struck a nerve with Sheila.
As long as she was compared to Sheena, everyone would speak of her similarly.
Sheila chuckled and shook her head, then looked back at Sheena.
“You know that I’m the one who did everything before, and if there were something I couldn’t handle, I’d ask Corey for help. Now that everything has been exposed, I have no one left, and I have no desire to live anymore. Upon reflection, I’ve indeed committed many sins. You can have Elliot take me to the National Investigation Bureau and execute me.”
Sheena raised an eyebrow, uttering, “Killing you would be too easy.”
She rose from Elliot’s embrace and walked over to Sheila, who was kneeling behind the coffee table, looking down at her with arrogance.
“As a member of the Lawson family by blood, I won’t take your life. Besides, death would be an easy escape for you. Instead, I’ll make sure you suffer every day, tortured by remorse and pain.”
As she spoke, Sheena’s eyes turned cold, and she bent slightly, a playful smile playing on her lips. “Sheila, do you want to know how I plan to deal with you?”
