Sherry shot a sideway glance at him. “What are you looking at? I’m just doing this because Caprice is hungry.” She said as she brought bowls of soup to the dining table. John chuckled heartily. Meanwhile, Caprice had already begun eating without them. She held a pair of spoon and fork like trusty weapons and her mouth was bulging with food. Sherry made a look as she sat next to Caprice. She put a bowl of noodles in front of her and reminded her. "Caprice, eat slowly. Here, have some noodles.” Caprice did as she was told. She made sure to chew her food thoroughly before she moved on to the bowl of noodles. After ensuring that Caprice had slowed down her pace, Sherry began eating as well. The food was delicious. John could easily become a professional chef. It was no surprise that Caprice snuck a piece of shrimp just now as she simply could not wait. Even Sherry ate more than she would otherwise usually eat. “How’s the food?” John suddenly asked. Sherry l

As if afraid that they would not believe her, Sherry added, “His name was also signed on the contract. I’ve already taken it to the government office for further view.” Everyone was in utter disbelief, Ron and Caden were especially flabbergasted. After a while, someone chuckled heartily and remarked, "I didn't think that Young Master Sager would be the one to pull it off, truly amazing! Two projects in one go!” Sherry glanced at Ron and Aiden while acknowledging Carl’s efforts. “Truly amazing, I agree.” She looked around and wondered where Carl was. She had come into today’s meeting fully intending to let Carl take the spotlight and show what he was capable of. However, he was nowhere to be seen and would not even answer her calls. The meeting resumed when someone at the table mentioned, “Alright, let’s focus on these two major projects going forward.” “Certainly, this is a big deal. We’re going to have to schedule more meetings later on and work out the finer details

When she rolled over, the thugs already had her surrounded. They wore menacing looks as they bore down at her. Her ankles were searing with pain and her body was drenched in sweat in an instant. She looked at them with fear in her eyes and asked, "Did Aiden send you here?" The leader of the pack stared at her and declared, "It doesn't matter who sent us here. We came here today to teach you a lesson so that you learn to watch your mouth in the future.” He turned to his men and roared, "Hold her down and give her a good slap! Each one of you, give her ten good slaps and only stop after she learns to keep her mouth shut!” He took a step back and let the men go to work. Two of them came forward to hold Sherry down. Sherry saw an opening and jabbed the tip of her heels at one of them, then she tried to crawl away on her wounded leg while crying out for help at the top of her voice, "Help! Help!" There was no chance she could outrun them, especially not on a wounded leg

John frowned. He helped Sherry wipe off a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead and tried to comfort her. "Don't be scared, they’re gone now and they’re never going to come back.” Sherry was about to nod reactively but quickly caught herself. She frowned and turned to John with an air of indignation. “When did I say I was scared? I just said that my hands are numb after slapping him.” John smiled. "Yeah, I know." He gently caressed her still-swollen face. “Come on, let’s head up there first.” Sherry took several steps before a sudden thought came to her. She suddenly cried out exasperatedly, “Why did we even let them go? I should’ve called the police!" They had revealed that it was Aiden who employed them. If she had the police arrest them, they would have concrete evidence and could press charges against Aiden! If she had done so, she would have been able to exact her revenge on Aiden and also chase him out of Sager Corporation for Lina and Carl. The more she

Nelson trailed closely after them. After they got out of the elevator, they headed straight for the car. Nelson got in the driver's seat and drove them to a nearby police station. John helped Sherry out of the car and walked her into the station. After lodging the injury report, Sherry was taken to the hospital. The side of her face that she took the slap from was still slightly red and swollen. One of her thighs was swollen as well, but the bones were not broken. The doctor gave her some pain-relieving drugs and something to help reduce the swelling. In time, the swelling on her face went away, and the swelling in her legs was mostly reduced as well. Although it still hurt a little to walk, she no longer needed John to support her anymore. She managed to walk out of the hospital by herself, then Nelson drove them back to her place. Aunt Wanda had already got home with Caprice and was waiting for them at the door. Upon seeing their return, Caprice trott
