Chapter 407
Sheena let out a slight sigh. Lost in her thoughts, she unconsciously finished an entire bottle of red
wine.
Ford noticed that she wanted to open another bottle and promptly intervened, Miss, since the last time
you drank too much and hurt your stomach, the doctor advised you to go easy on alcohol. You should
only have a small amount, not too much.”
“It’s just two bottles, and considering my alcohol tolerance, I won’t get drunk,”
Sheena insisted.
Ford sighed, “Miss, don’t forget, your tolerance has decreased since the last time. You can’t handle as
much as before.”
Frustrated from being stopped twice, Sheena pushed away the glasses and bottles before her, saying,
“Forget it! Take them away, take them away!”
She folded her hands, repressing her annoyance, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Ford chuckled, calming her, and signaled the other bodyguards. Soon, Sheena’s table was cleared.

return home directly when she received a call from Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was overjoyed after learning that Sheena had disclosed her identity and returned to Svelton.
“Nana! You’re finally back. How about coming out to Hedone Bar tonight? Lots of old friends are eager
to see you! Don’t you miss them?”
Sheena had indeed not seen her childhood playmates for many years, and she was not too keen on
returning directly to the Lawson family, so she agreed.
She only brought Ford along, having Paul and John arrange a hotel and settle in for the night.
Sawyer went back to inform Albert about the matter.
When Sheena arrived at the bar, everyone was already there. In addition to Gabrielle and Colin, Naomi
Jenkins, the daughter of Roger Jenkins, the fifth son of the Jenkins family, was there.
Several other old friends were also present, totaling over ten people.
As Sheena pushed open the door to the private room, Gabrielle and Naomi hid
behind the door, and confetti burst forth with a bang, colorful ribbons fluttering and covering the room.
“Welcome back!”
Watching their theatrics, Sheena genuinely smiled and replied, “Thank you.”
Gabrielle linked arms with her, pulling her to the main seat on the couch.
“You’re most welcome, Nana! You might not know this, but it broke all our hearts when we received
news of your death. Now that you’ve finally decided to reveal your identity, it’s fantastic!”
The friends were having a blast, toasting one round after another.
Gabrielle and Naomi sat on either side of Sheena, both younger than her and with whom she had a
good relationship.
Thinking about what Sawyer mentioned on the plane, Sheena asked Naomi, “I heard that the eldest
grandson of the Jenkins family is in charge now. Has he caused any trouble for your family?”
“No, Dad has never been interested in power struggles. During that time, Uncle Peter’s family and Elliot
were fiercely competing. So, when Elliot took control, he treated our family fairly well,” Naomi
explained.
Sheena affectionately patted Naomi’s head, smiling reassuringly. “That’s good to hear.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“However, Elliot has had a tough time. He came back from a mission in the military six months ago,
covered in blood and seriously injured. He was reportedly coughing up blood every day, which scared
Grandpa. But he’s really amazing. Despite all that, he managed to snatch control back from Uncle
Peter’s family. I really admire him,” Naomi added.
Sheena remained silent. She had just arrived in Svelton, and Elliot’s name had already come up in two
different conversations, piquing her curiosity about this.
person.
While she was contemplating, Gabrielle’s seat was quietly swapped with someone nearby.
Sheena turned to see Colin approaching with a raised glass.
“Sheena, I haven’t seen you in almost half a year, and you’re still as beautiful as ever,” he said, lifting
his glass toward her.
Sheena smiled faintly and clinked glasses with him. “Mr. Upton, when did the Upton family find you and
bring you back to Svelton from abroad?”
Colin’s expression froze.
He could sense that Sheena seemed more distant than before. Furthermore, the mention of this matter
infuriated him!
