Sheena instantly frowned, looking serious.
Then, she turned to glare at Corey.
Corey's face mirrored her shock, and he promptly shook his head, asserting his innocence.
Was there another reason behind the matter?
If he was unaware of it, how could Anne possibly know?
Sheena did not buy it and said, "You were so young then. How could you possibly know about these things? Stop stalling and come back to the Lawson estate with me."
Anne sounded confident as she responded, "My mom told me about it and made me promise to keep this secret. I know that my future days will be like hell once I return to the Lawson estate. It's better to use this secret as leverage."
Sheena pursed her lips, carefully considering Anne's words.
Their mother, Sophia, had died unexpectedly.
All four of them were devastated for a long time.
However, Anne claimed to know the actual cause of Sophia's death.
Should she believe it?
Anne seemed to sense Sheena's hesitation.
"Sheena, what are you afraid of? Are you scared to know the truth? Or are you afraid I'm lying to you?"
After deep thought, Sheena calmly said, "I'll trust you this once. What condition do you want in exchange for this truth?"
Anne appeared coquettish as if considering what condition to propose.
Sheena reminded her, "I won't let you leave Froania and go to Ouna with Paulo. Besides that, I'm open to considering other conditions."
"I haven't decided on the conditions yet, but I want you to come, alone, to the mansion with me. There's something I need to show you. Once you see it, you'll know the truth about the death of your mother. I only want to tell this secret to you."
Sheena did not respond.
Corey cleared his throat and spoke up, obviously concerned.
"Sheena, don't go. If there's another reason behind Mom's death, we can investigate it when we return."
Sheena did not believe him at all.
