Chapter 1705
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, “Master Stockton, Sherry is my fiance now. Please respect her
John said with a smile Relax Young Master Carl I’m just giving her a present to congratulate her. “He then lifted his hand holding the little box
Carl frowned “What is inside”
Tm sorry it’s for her, so I can’t tell you what’s inside,” John said
Carl stared at him brazenly
John’s 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
“Uncle Carl, you are blocking my Daddy Caprice furrowed her brows as she stared at the back of Carl’s head
Carl frowned
Sherry then decided to step in
She looked at it cautiously. “What is inside?” As far as she knew, it might be a bomb.
John added, “Don’t worry. It’s not a bomb, and it’s not something dangerous.”
Sherry’s eyes flickered. “Then, what is it?”
“Open it and find out.”
“If you don’t tell me what is inside, I won’t take it.”
Lisa, Ron, and the others were rendered speechless. They were stunned by Sherry’s 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 everyone’s surprise, John was not mad at all.
