The security guards wanted to stop Ada from following Carl. However, Ada skillfully shook them off with a couple of fake moves. They went for her from the right, but she slipped past them from the left and went after Carl. “Carl, I’d rather die if I can’t be with you!” Carl frowned. His expression spelled frustration. Ada was startled by his reaction. She staggered but remained determined. Sherry and the other employees were stunned by the commotion. The other employees got closer to have a better look. Sherry was watching and hiding behind two employees, and when they moved, she was exposed. Ada was right in front of the entrance, and she spotted Sherry when she went after Carl. Her bloodshot eyes widened in shock. It was as though she ran into her arch-nemesis. “Sherry Fowler!” Carl stopped and turned around to Sherry. Sherry pursed her lips. She immediately followed the other employees to the entrance. “I still have to go to work. You guys go on. Calm down a
Ada burst into tears again. “Carl, I really like you.” “I have a ton of women who like me. Do I need to marry every single one of them?” Carl bellowed. Ada continued, “But Sherry doesn’t even like you and she’s been tempting you. She’s still seeing her ex-husband! She’s a bitch who has her feet in two boats!” Carl’s gaze turned frosty as he glared at her. “Shut the fuck up!” Ada had never seen such anger from Carl. Startled, she immediately pursed her lips in silence. Carl glared at her. “I don’t care if she likes me or not. If I hear one more word from you that bad-mouths her, I’ll throw you to the sharks!” Ada quivered out of fear. She dared not even argue or move anymore. Carl ignored her and headed inside. A while later, the security guards came over and threw her out on the street. Many of the employees saw Ada tumble a few times wretchedly before she got up on her feet. Carl had already left. She was surrounded by a group of people who looked at her scornfully.
Work got extra busy with an urgent case and some meetings. Sherry worked tirelessly for hours before settling them. She ran to the toilet to release herself after holding it in for hours. She sighed a breath of relief as soon as she sat down on the toilet. When she was done and wanted to head out, she heard some women talking outside. “Did you hear about this morning?” “Ada and Carl?” “Yeah.” “Of course. We were there.” “I’m talking about Ms. Fowler.” “What’s with Ms. Fowler? I don’t remember seeing her there.” “She was. She was there with us for a while. She only left when she got made. Ada even shouted at her, but she ignored her.” “Ada was throwing a tantrum, but Ms. Fowler didn’t even say a word? Does it mean she has no feelings for Young Master Carl?” “If she has no feelings for Young Master Carl, why would she have agreed to the engagement?” “That didn’t happen, did it?” “That’s because her ex-husband brought her daughter to crash the ceremony. I really
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Jason. John answered it and put it next to his ear. “What is it?” Jason said, “Sir, Ada Wright and Carl Sager got into a big argument in front of the Sagers' office this morning. She’s trying to be with Carl but got rejected in front of a crowd. Madam was there when that happened, but she watched from a corner. Ada spotted her and shouted at her, but she ignored her and left.” John went silent for a moment. “Ada Wright? Ron Wright’s niece?” “Yes. You ordered us to keep an eye out for Ron Wright’s movements, and we spotted Ada being thrown out of the mansion by Ron’s new wife. Ron did not even try to hold her back. She stayed in a five-star hotel for a night and went straight to Carl this morning.” Ada was Ron’s niece. Now that Ron was evicted from the Sagers, Ada would follow as well. Ron’s new wife, Willow, had evicted her from their new mansion, and she stayed in a five-star hotel for a night. It seemed like she could not leave her luxur
Sherry’s car was parked in the open parking lot outside the building. When she arrived at the parking lot but before she could reach her car, she heard several women squealing excitedly. “My gosh! He’s so handsome! He looks much better in person!” “He’s so charming. No wonder he’s the richest man in Glenchester.” “I’m so jealous of Ms. Fowler.” Sherry was speechless when she heard the gossip. The women were employees of the company. They were fangirling over a man with a bouquet of roses by Sherry’s car—John. The white shirt and slim-fit pants set off his slender physique. His golden-framed glasses hung over his tall nose, complementing his charming and enchanting eyes. He must have stood there for some time now. When Sherry spotted him, he spotted her too, and he smiled at her. The evening breeze fluttered his front hair, further revealing his handsome face. The smile on his face could steal hearts from any woman. The infatuated women squealed even louder. Sherry
Sherry tried to help him up, but he lost all his strength to the stab. His weight and physique overpowered her, dragging her down to the ground despite mustering all her strength to hold him up. The stench of blood entered her nose. She tapped on his shoulder to nudge him, but as soon as she lifted her hand, her palm was blood-stained. His back was drenched in his own blood. Her hand shook. Sherry looked at John. His face was bleached white and his half-closed eyes were glued to her. Sherry’s lips trembled out of fear. “John? John?! JOHN!? Hang in there!” She pulled her phone out to call the ambulance. Ada, who was kicked to the ground by Carl, was apprehended by the security guards. Carl swiftly made a call and ran over to Sherry. He looked at Sherry and her blood-stained hand. “Sis, don’t worry, I’ve called an ambulance. Help is arriving.” Sherry then looked at John. “Did you hear that? Help is coming! Hold on! Hang in there!” John’s lips moved, seemingly spelling t
In the corridor outside the emergency room, Sherry squatted down with her blood-stained hands over her head. It had been two hours, yet the door remained closed and the sign remained lit. Sherry saw several medical staff running in and out of the emergency room, but there were no signs of the surgery being over. She had been squatting down for so long that she could not feel her legs anymore. Her body felt cold and stiff. For some reason, her mind kept replaying some old memories while she waited for the surgery to be over. When they were together ten years ago, he had been the Stocktons’ eldest son, a handsome young man with a bright future. He was the ideal husband of many socialites and young ladies in Glenchester, but he had fallen for her out of all the other women. At the start of their relationship, her then-fiance, Mason, was taken away by Shannon, hence she cut all ties with her family, the Fowlers. She relied on her own hands to make a living. He knew she was a wo
John had to stay for another day for observation purposes. If he could make it through, he could be discharged. Sherry stayed by his side for the entire night. Lisa and Carl stayed back to accompany Sherry, but she told them to go back to take a rest. They refused though. It was until Lisa received a call about an urgent matter back at the Sagers’ house, only then she left while Carl stayed back. It was a quiet night in the corridor outside the ICU. Carl stood beside Sherry and looked at her silently. A while after Lisa left, Sherry looked at him. She said in a disheartened voice, “I’m fine. You should go back and take a rest.” Carl’s eyes flickered. “I’m responsible for what happened to Master Stockton as well. I failed to contain Ada, that was how she was able to hurt him. I should be the one who stays.” His words made sense, which silenced Sherry. Carl continued, “Sis, why don’t you go back and take a rest?” “I’m not tired.” Caprice was already sleeping and was
