Chapter 270
For some reason, Jennifer's disappearance left Sheena with a deep sense of unease. She could not shake the feeling that something huge was about to happen. While pondering anxiously, her hands were not idle, checking the latest schedules and shooting progress of all the artists.
Sheena unexpectedly discovered that Skye’s shooting progress had mysteriously halted since yesterday afternoon, and he was absent from the set this morning.
Sheena immediately called Skye’s agent.
“Ms. Sheena, | swear, Skye was shooting just fine yesterday. Somehow, there was a dispute with Eugene Perez, the heir of the Perez family from the adjacent set. Eugene is not someone to mess with. The two got into a fight, and Eugene ended up in the hospital. Quite a few bystanders from the Farlem World Studios set witnessed the incident. We're currently negotiating a resolution with both sets.”
The more Sheena heard, the tighter her brow furrowed. “Why wasn’t this reported yesterday? Where is Skye?”
“I'm sorry, Ms. Sheena. Given Skye’s past experiences, | thought we could settle it directly with the production team. However, Eugene was seriously injured. The Zimmer family took Skye to the hotel
early this morning. We haven't been able to reach him since.”
Sheena fell into a moment of silence. She knew about Skye’s grandfather, Francis Zimmer, well.
With Francis’s temper, Skye, the troublemaker, would undoubtedly face severe consequences when he returned. “Alright, | understand.”
Sheena massaged her temples, deciding to visit the Zimmer family. She did not want Francis to be too harsh on the young troublemaker and potentially disrupt the upcoming shoots.
She drove to the Zimmer family estate. After explaining her identity to the bodyguards, they immediately let her through. Francis had previously stated that anytime Sheena wished to enter, regardless of the circumstances, she could do so without notification.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Guided by the butler, Sheena walked smoothly through the estate. Even before reaching the entrance of the hall, she could hear the sound of beating and scolding, accompanied by Skye’s painful groans.
The intensity of the sounds alone was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat. Sheena quickened her pace. In the hall, Skye knelt on the floor, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, his expression full of defiance.
Infuriated, though somewhat sympathetic, Francis could not fathom why this troublemaker would not mend his ways. Waving his hand, Francis halted the reprimands.

Skye steadied his breathing, his rebellious eyes still full of defiance. “I didn’t do anything wrong. He deserved it. Next time, I'll beat him again. Every time | see him, I'll beat him.”
Just as Sheena reached the hall entrance, she heard Skye’s words loud and clear.
What a foolish kid!
Even if he truly felt wronged, could he not show a bit of humility?
As expected, the sounds of punishment resumed inside, even more intense than before. “Hit him! Do it until he admits his mistake!”
The butler hurried inside and whispered to Francis about Sheena’s arrival.
“Grandpa Francis, it's been a while. You haven't aged a bit. You still look so youthful,” Sheena said, entering with a smile. Then, she took the cane from the servant and added, “Grandpa Francis, this thing must hurt a lot. Skye is still young. Please go easy on him.”
Seeing her enter, Francis smiled broadly with a face full of affection. “Oh, my Sheena, you've grown so much! Come here. Let me have a good look at you.*
Sheena obediently sat beside him. “Don’t feel sorry for this brat. I've been spanking him since he was little. He’s tough as nails. But my Sheena, the treasure of both the Lawson and the Zimmer families, deserves all the pampering!”
Hearing this, Skye hissed, quietly breathing, and discreetly straightened his back to massage the injuries. He criticized his grandfather for favoring someone else’s granddaughter over his own grandson.
Was Francis out of his mind?
