John took a small box out of his pocket and strode to the stage Lisa, Ron, and the others followed behind him Sherry was next to the stage with Caprice in her armi Carl came down from the stage and stood by her side When John came closer Carl instinctively stood in front of Sherry, protecting her from the man.
»John narrowed his eyes Being cautious, Carl said in a rather deep voice, âMaster Stockton, Sherry is my fiance now. Please respect her John said with a smile Relax Young Master Carl Iâm just giving her a present to congratulate her. âHe then lifted his hand holding the little box Carl frowned âWhat is insideâ
Tm sorry itâs for her, so | canât tell you what's inside,â John said Carl stared at him brazenly Johnâs gaze turned cold as well Lisa, Ron, and the others pursed their lips helplessly at the scene. They dared not make a noise and did not know what to say.
The atmosphere grew awkward by the second.
It was until an adorable voice spoke that the awkwardness ended âUncle Carl, you are blocking my Daddy Caprice furrowed her brows as she stared at the back of Carlâs head Carl frowned Sherry then decided to step in âCarl step aside.â
No matter what he did now, he could not change the fact that John was Sherryâs ex-husband.
Carl turned around to her. âSis.â
Sherry smiled at him. âDonât worry, he won't do anything to me.â As the richest man in Glenchester. even if he wanted to punish her, he would not do it in front of a crowd.
Carl hesitated for a while before he reluctantly stepped to the side.
John went up to her His deep gaze stared into her eyes through his golden-framed glasses. As his lips curled, he said, âSherry, congratulations on the engagement.â
He wore the most elegant smile on his face, but it somehow gave Sherry the chills.
Sherry pursed her lips in silence.
John gave her the box. This is my present to you.â
She looked at it cautiously. âWhat is inside?â As far as she knew, it might be a bomb.
John added, âDonât worry. Itâs not a bomb, and itâs not something dangerous.â
Sherryâs eyes flickered. âThen, what is it?â
âOpen it and find out.â
âIf you donât tell me what is inside, | won't take it.â
Lisa, Ron, and the others were rendered speechless. They were stunned by Sherryâs attitude towards John. The man was the richest man in Glenchester and one of the most handsome men alive.
Sherry might be capable, but she was just an executive working for the Sagers. What fueled her attitude towards the man?
To everyoneâs surprise, John was not mad at all.
