Chapter 1090


    Corey did not care about future prospects and power,


    All he wanted was to be a hermit at home, seeking redemption day after day, hoping that Sheena


    would forgive and stop hating him.


    With the topic abruptly ending, neither spoke further as they entered the living room and sat on the


    sofa.


    Barbara went to brew tea, leaving Sheena, Corey, and Anne alone.


    Anne, with her curious gaze fixed on Corey, asked, “Mr. Corey, I heard you used to be the top pilot in


    Froania, and you had connections on both sides of thew. You were an impressive figure, but your


    voice sounded different from what I heard in the airport promotional video. What happened?”


    Corey kept his gaze down, remaining silent.


    Sheena naturally stepped in to exin, “As the head of the Lawson family, I punished him for some


    mistakes he made before. I made him kneel in the altar room, receiving twentyshes every day and


    reciting scriptures all night.”


    Corey slightly furrowed his brow, ncing at Sheena’s expression.


    Although he did not understand why she would take responsibility for the punishments he voluntarily


    endured before, he knew Sheena well enough to know that she must have her reasons.


    Hence, he chose to remain silent, with no intention of arguing back.


    Anne was stunned.


    She nced at Corey, who seemed to tacitly acknowledge the situation. Then, she looked at Sheena,


    whose expression was cruel and icy.


    It was all very surreal.


    “That sounds terrifying. What serious mistake did Mr. Corey make to receive such a punishment?


    Aren’t you siblings? Why would you punish him so harshly, like an enemy?”


    Sheena pursed her red lips, about to respond, when Barbara arrived with freshly brewed green tea,


    setting


    it on the table and pouring a cup for each person.


    Seeing the tea, Sheena smoothly diverted the conversation, picking up her cup and warmly inviting


    Anne.


    “Ms. Windsor, have some of Barbara’s green tea. I think it suits you best. Please, have some more.”


    Anne picked up the cup of tea from the table, lightly blowing it before taking a sip.


    “Mmm… this tea smells amazing, and it’s so refreshing, not at all overwhelming.”


    Sheena finished her cup of tea with a smile. “I’m d you like it.”


    The living room fell into a brief silence for two minutes before Anne redirected the conversation back to


    Corey.


    “So, Mr. Corey’s legs are not in good shape because of kneeling? And his voice became hoarse from


    reading scriptures?”


    Carey nced at Sheena, not understanding why she would share family matters with an outsider, but


    he


    still nodded in agreement.


    “Yes,”

    Anne appeared shocked and eximed, “Although it’s the Lawson family’s private matter, I’m still


    curious. Is the Lawson family’s discipline extremely strict?”


    Sheena lifted her second cup of tea elegantly, blowing on it gently before answering in a calm tone,


    “The Lawson family as a whole is very easygoing. The so–called strictness is only directed at Corey.”


    Corey and Barbara were both puzzled, silently watching Sheena.


    Anne also turned her gaze to Sheena, tilting her head in confusion. “Why? Mr. Corey is so outstanding.


    Why would you single him out?”


    “The specific reasons are our family’s privacy, and it’s inconvenient to tell you.”


    “Okay, I’ve overstepped,” Anne said, no longer pressing the issue, as she lowered her head in


    contemtion.


    Sheena nced at Anne, understanding her expression, and continued with a warm smile, “Which


    hotel are you staying at? Are youfortable there? If you like Mountville, you can stay here during


    your time in Froania. I’ll make the arrangements for you.”
