Anne reassured Barbara and continued to pat her hand gently.
"Mrs. Barbara, don't worry. I'm just helping you and Mr. Corey reclaim what's rightfully yours and maybe secure a couple of collaborations for AN Group. How could that possibly harm anyone?"
She leaned closer to Barbara's ear and whispered, "I've arranged everything. Tomorrow night, you just need to cooperate with me."
Seeing Anne's cautiousness and refusal to reveal any details about the plan, Barbara decided not to press further to avoid suspicion.
"It's late, Ms. Windsor. You should get some rest."
Barbara withdrew her hand from Anne's palm and headed upstairs.
Anne watched her go, her thoughts unreadable.
…
The next evening, Sheena leisurely returned to Mountville.
Corey, due to his limited mobility, had not left his bed except for essential activities like using the bathroom and bathing.
Even meals were served to him by Barbara, spoonful by spoonful.
When Sheena arrived at the mansion, several chefs in the kitchen were diligently preparing dinner, filling the air with the aroma of cooking.
Barbara and Anne were both at the door to greet Sheena, but her expression was cold.
She first went upstairs to visit the sick Corey.
"Barbara, you and Ms. Windsor go ahead. I have something I want to discuss with Corey alone," Sheena said.
"Alright, don't take too long. Dinner will be ready soon."
Sheena nodded.
Once Barbara and Anne left, Sheena locked the door behind them and returned to sit in the chair by the bed, facing the weak-looking Corey.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
