Chapter 384
Barrett carefully read through the statement Ford handed him, his expression suddenly changing.
“Oh, Sheena! This has nothing to do with me. How could I possibly want to harm you? Don’t you
remember how much I adored you when you were a kid? I even held you! Nathaniel is the head of the
Special Investigation Department, and I’m no one. How could I boss him around!”
“Oh?” Sheena’s tone shifted. “I heard your son, my dear cousin Keanu, works at the National Affairs
Bureau. I wonder if there’s any connection. Should I have Corey look into it?”
“No! It has nothing to do with him!” Barrett exclaimed.
Sheena slammed the table, her gaze turning sharp. “How can it have nothing to do with Keanu?
Nathaniel admitted it himself. Do you think a few words from you can deny it? Without Keanu, do you
think you could control Nathaniel? Let me guess, is it because of the inheritance?”
Barrett stared at her sternly, remaining silent.
“Because you can’t stand Dad going against the family tradition, insisting on passing the inheritance to
me, his most beloved daughter. So, you teamed up with someone to get rid of me first, then gradually
take over the Lawson family, right?”

However, the more she spoke, the more composed Barrett appeared‘. “Sheena, these are just your
speculation, relying on Nathaniel’s testimony alone to accuse me. Isn’t that too hasty?”
Of course, Sheena did not expect him to confess right away, as these people were all cunning and
shrewd.
“It doesn’t matter if you refuse to admit it. Anyway, I was tricked at a bar not long ago. Someone tried to
ruin my face with S40. I don’t like to take things lying down, so I brought one for you too.”
Ford took out a glass bottle and a special plastic brush, placing them on the table in front of Sheena.
Barrett asked, “What is this?”
Sheena grinned mischievously. “This is that S40 corrosive agent. What do you

think? Wouldn’t it look nice if I wrote something on your face with it? What word should I write?”
Barrett felt a chill running down his spine. “This kind of drug is only available in war labs! How did you
get your hands on it so easily? Corey actually condoned your reckless behavior?”
Sheena looked pleasantly surprised. “It seems your indifference is just an act. You knew it was a
prohibited drug and still claim it has nothing to do with you.”
She coldly opened the glass bottle, delicately stirring its contents with the special brush.
“Since you’re stubborn and I can’t get any information from you, let’s skip the questions. Although this
bottle only contains sulfuric acid, I bet the pain is quite something.”
“Sheena! I’m your own uncle!”
Sheena acted as if she had not heard him, pondering out loud, “You like
pretending to be an idler, so why not write that word on you? How about that?”
“Sheena, you wouldn’t dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I? If you have evidence, go ahead and report it to the Lawson family. Tell them I’ve been
dead for six years and suddenly resurrected, not only kidnapping you but also writing on your face with
sulfuric acid. Do you have the guts to report me?”
“Sheena!” At this point, fear finally crept onto Barrett’s face.
Clearly, Sheena had already calculated this situation.

Barrett could only endure the humiliation in silence.
“If you can, just kill me! Otherwise, be prepared for trouble!” Barrett threatened.
Sheena sneered at him. “I wouldn’t dare to do that! After all, you’re an elder. I’ll save your life for when
all the evidence is gathered, and I’ll give it all to Dad on a silver platter.”
She coldly huffed and left the basement.
Soon, the pitiful and loud wails echoed from inside.
Listening to those agonizing sounds, Sheena felt unusually satisfied, and she even had a great night of
sleep after that.

However, Ford urgently knocked on her door just as Sheena got out of bed early the next morning.
His eyes were red, and his voice choked.
“Miss, Ian just called to say Mr. Freeman… Mr. Freeman, he…”
