Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1163

Even long after Sheena had left, Corey remained seated in place, lost in thought.

His mind raced as he analyzed the situation.

According to Sheila's testimony, Sophia fell ill after discovering Albert's affair.

However, Corey was old enough to distinctly remember that Sophia had cancer when she fell ill, not from being upset over Albert's infidelity.

Furthermore, Sophia had been aware of Sheila and her mother's existence since Sheila was born.

She knew Albert's nature well enough to understand he was not faithful and could not control him.

Yet, Sophia, being a career-driven woman, chose to ignore Albert's affairs to avoid complications with property division in case of divorce, opting to maintain a facade of mutual respect.

Besides, Sheila was too young to orchestrate such a scheme.

Corey pondered for a long time before concluding that the story must have been deliberately fabricated.

Sheila used Sophia's death as an excuse to lure Sheena to the mansion, perhaps intending to end both their lives together. Despite knowing she could not kill Sheena with that shot, she still fired.

Was it to repay Corey's kindness, attempting to mend the rift between Sheena and him?

Or perhaps out of guilt for Corey's suffering at Sheena's hands?

Only by meeting Sheila in person could he uncover the truth.

However, Sheena would never allow him to meet Sheila privately. If Sheena found out, it might cause further discord between them as siblings.

Corey wrestled with his thoughts, unsure whether to disclose what he knew to Sheena.

Amid his turmoil, Barbara entered the room and sat beside him.

"Sheila claimed she caused Mom's death, deliberately provoking Nana. But I know Sheila couldn't have had that opportunity. The last shot she fired on the island was to help me."

Speaking too fast, Corey had a coughing fit.

He continued, "Darling, should I tell Nana the truth?"

Barbara thoughtfully analyzed the situation and said, "Sheena already has reservations about you. If you try to defend Sheila, she won't believe you're telling the truth. She'll think you're just saying that to help Sheila. She might even suspect you and Sheila planned it all beforehand on the island, and taking the bullet was just part of the act."

Corey hung his head in dismay.

He was in a dilemma because he knew this would be the likely outcome.

Sheena did not trust him at all now, especially when it came to anything related to Sheila.

He remained silent, lost in thought.
