Chapter 1398
John’s eyes immediately sharpened as he looked out the window toward the park’s entrance.
He immediately identified a young woman dressed in a red coat and black leather boots. Her hair donned in a curly fashion, an exact fit of the description Sherry provided. She was walking toward the entrance of the park from the other side of the parking lot.
From this angle, John could not make out her face due to the hair covering her side profile.
However, he was sure that the figure resembled Sherry’s.
“The big liar!” Caprice suddenly sprang out of her seat and gestured at the lady with her chubby fingers, identifying her as the liar.
Prompted by this, John immediately sent a message to Peter, “She’s here, the one in the red coat.”
As soon as the message was sent, dozens of large and fit bodyguards poured out of nowhere into the parking lot.
In an instant, they had all rushed to Sherry’s side and surrounded her, leaving no room for exit.
Caprice seemed completely taken unaware by this sudden. operation. Even her finger that was gesturing at the red lady had gone limp.
John noticed this and hugged her while reassuring her. Caprice, don’t worry. These are the good guys working for Daddy. They are going to help us catch the liar.”
Caprice seemed consoled by this.
Shortly after that, John’s phone rang.
It was Peter, who was with the crew of bodyguards as well.
John answered the call and put the phone to his ear with a prideful smile, “Tie her up and take her away.”
“Sir…” Peter hesitated. “I don’t think that is Miss Sherry.”
The smile on John’s mouth vanished immediately. “What did you say? Come again?”
“I don’t think… I don’t think she’s Miss Sherry.”
John grimaced.
He promptly hung up and put the phone away. He then got out of the car with Caprice.
He marched toward the park entrance.
When Peter and a group of bodyguards saw him approaching, they quickly got out of his way.
frightened enough before John’s arrival. Now that John had threatened her, she no longer dared to conjure lies and immediately owned up to everything. “A young lady named Fowler contacted me and told me she’d pay me two thousand bucks if I’d walk through this park in this dress at an appointed time. She didn’t tell me anything else, not even a word on why we were doing this. I have no idea where she is now!”
John squinted with suspicion. “You were hired by her?” The lady hurriedly answered, “Yes, that’s right! I work at the club and this Miss Fowler suddenly came up to me at the end of my shift and briefed me on what I needed to do. She gave me two thousand dollars on the spot and told me that if I followed through, she’d give me another two thousand. Naturally, I did as I was told.”
“Did you come with her?”
“No, I took a taxi by myself. She told me to be here at nine -thirty,” she said as she reached for her phone and opened her chat logs with Sherry as evidence. “Look, I was talking with her just now.”
John looked at the phone.
Their exchange had taken place only several minutes ago. It was Sherry who texted her first, “You can head over
there now. Just walk into the park through the main entrance.”
“That’s all I need to do? Is there anything else?”
“Yeah, just find someplace nice to sit and hang around. Make sure you puff up your hair to the sides so it’s not easy to make out your side profile.”
“Miss Sherry, why are you asking me to do something so bizarre? Are you sure it’s not going to be dangerous?” “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”
