Chapter 1654
Sherry smiled at her. “I should really be here to attend Madam Sager’s birthday. Don’t worry, I’m fine now.”
Lisa did not request her attendance, but she had received the invitation to the event from the Sagers’ butler. Since she was an important employee of the Sagers’ company and even headed a few of the departments, even if she was not Carl’s fake fiance, it would be inappropriate for her to miss it.
Lisa pursed her lips. She looked at Carl and grumbled, “Why didn’t you stop her? Don’t you know that your grandmother and your aunts are vicious?”
Carl awkwardly scratched his nose. “I know, but I’m here. They won’t do anything to Sis either.”
Lisa glared at him one more time. “You go greet your aunts and grandmother. Sherry is staying here with me.”
Carl was left speechless. “Mom, come on. It’s inappropriate.”
Sherry wanted to echo, but Lisa held her hand tightly.
Lisa stared at her son. “It’s appropriate if I say so. Go over there right now!”
Carl helplessly pursed his lips. He pocketed his hands and went deeper into the living hall.
Madam Sager and the others were looking at them.
Fortunately, Sherry was further away from them, but despite the distance, she could
already sense their arrogant and frosty gaze.
However, when Carl went over, all their attention was shifted to him. Only a few of them continued to stare at Sherry and Lisa, and their hostile gazes were brazen.
Understanding Lisa’s concern, Sherry said, “Aunt Lisa, don’t worry. This is Madam Sager’s birthday dinner. The most they can do is look down on me. Nothing bad will happen tonight.”
Lisa nodded in agreement. “I suppose so, but you’d better stay by my side. Don’t wander off alone.”
Sherry smiled. “Okay.”
Lisa smiled at her before they walked in together.
The living hall had a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
Madam Sager was sitting in between her daughter and son-in-law. Both Anne and Ron’s sons, and their wives, were beside them. There were other extended families of the Sagers around them as well.
Carl had greeted all of them and was sitting down on one of the couches. He crossed his legs and wore a frivolous look on his face.
