Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1454

Chapter 1454

Carl turned to Sherry with a smile. “President William

here says that he’s your uncle. Why didn’t you tell me that your uncle would be here? I’d have prepared something nice for him.”

Matthew seemed very flattered by this and stated courteously, “You’re too kind, Young Master Sager.”

Sherry did not even spare Matthew a look as she turned to Carl. “I’m an orphan. I don’t have parents nor do I have any uncles.”

Matthew turned stoic.

Carl shot a look at Matthew and seemed exasperated. ” Then who is this?”

Sherry remarked contemptuously, “I have no idea, he’s probably making things up.”

She grabbed a glass of wine and promptly walked away.

Carl quickly followed after her.

There were a few men who joined in the circle midway through the conversation.

When they saw how Carl and Sherry walked away without even bothering to excuse themselves, they turned to Matthew with a disgusted look on their faces, belittling him with their expressions.

“I can’t believe it, we’ve been duped.”

“Where does he find the audacity to tell Young Master

Sager that he’s President Sherry’s uncle? If I were him, I wouldn’t dare to stay here a moment longer.

Matthew was speechless.

With that, they shied away from Matthew as if he was a contaminated patient.

Matthew reacted with equal parts disbelief and horror.

Sherry and Carl went to a remote section.

She began to empty the contents of her wineglass.

Carl stood next to her, his shoulders against the wall, and stared at her with a mesmerizing shine in his eyes. (( Sherry, where did you go off to just now?”

Sherry answered defectively, “To the bathroom, why?”

“Why did it take you so long?” Carl seemed suspicious.

Carl remained standing next to her, only without touching her now. From time to time, he would dart his eyes across the crowd of people.

In the far back of the crowd.

There stood a tall and slender man who was leaning against the wall. Underneath his lens was a piercing and ominous gaze which fixed itself intently on Sherry.

He clenched his fingers tightly around the wineglass and seemed like he would break it with sheer force.

“John.” Suddenly, Julie’s voice sounded from behind him.

His expression softened slightly and his tight frown departed as well. Still, his eyes were fixed in the direction of Sherry and Carl.

Julie walked up to him and followed his gaze to see Sherry and Carl at the opposite edge of the venue. She remarked after that, “So the president of Sager Corporation they were talking about all this time was Sherry. That’s a surprise.”

John took a sip of wine and did not utter a word.

Julie added, “The two of them seem very close, they’re not together, are they?”

John’s eyes flashed with ice as he turned to Julie sharply.

Julie had never seen John confront her with such a sharp look. She turned pale immediately and enquired worriedly, “John, what’s the matter? Was it something I said?”
