Chapter 1459
She was vulgar and unfashionable, just like her mother.
She took special care to not let her disgust show on her face and wore a gentle, polite smile.
She greeted them in a friendly voice, “Mom, Queenie, Little Caprice, I’m home.”
Caprice was too focused on her toy excavator and ignored her.
Queenie greeted her rather dully, “Hey, you’re home.”
Then she immediately turned her attention back to Caprice.
Madam Stockton looked behind Julie and asked, “It’s just you, where’s John?”
Julie walked up to her and informed her, “He said that he has some other things to deal with, he probably won’t be home so soon.”
Madam Stockton nodded and uttered a short “oh“, then she had nothing further to add.
She thought that it would be ideal that John took his
time. That way, she would have more time to play with Caprice.
She went back to playing with Caprice.
“There’s one more thing.” Julie glanced at Caprice and whispered, “I saw Miss Fowler.”
Madam Stockton’s expression changed, she frowned and asked crossly, “Sherry?”
“Yeah.”
Madam Stockton glanced at Caprice who was having the time of her life, then she whispered cautiously, “Let’s talk in the living room.”
She turned to Queenie. “Queenie, look after Caprice.”
They went to the living room.
Several minutes later.
In the living room, Madam Stockton widened her disbelief and exclaimed in utter shock, “She’s the president of Sager Corporation?!”

Julie zipped her lips and seemed like she was at a loss for what to say.
Madam Stockton sneered. “That’s fine, now that she has Carl Sager, she probably won’t keep bothering John.”
“But, about tonight…” She hesitated to continue.
Madam Stockton looked at her with alarm. “What
happened tonight? Did she try to dig her claws into John again?”
With her chin lowered, Julie spoke in a troubled voice, Maybe I misread the situation, but I saw her going into a quiet corner with John. They stayed there for quite a while before coming out again.”
Madam Stockton seemed vexed by this. “This woman will never change! How dare she try to string along two men at a time?!”
Julie hurriedly said, “No, perhaps it was all a misunderstanding on my part. After all, she’s Caprice’s mother, maybe they were just trying to find some quiet place to talk about what’s going on with Caprice. Besides, she’s no longer what she was in the past. You could argue that she’s a woman worthy of calling herself John’s partner now.”
Madam Stockton scoffed disdainfully. “Even if that were the case, I’d never let someone of her likes step through the door of my household!”
It seemed like her dislike for Sherry had not changed at all.
Julie silently smirked at this remark.
