Chapter 1708
Carl glared at John. “Let her go!”
John curled his lips. “Young Master Carl, if you have the capabilities to shut your family up, it
wouldn’t have ended like this.”
Carl flushed with gritted teeth.
The others were silenced as well.
Only Ron and Anne showed a hint of mockery and disdain in their expressions.
John was practically calling Carl useless for not being capable enough to convince Madam Sager
and the others.
Lisa sighed.
The entire hall plunged into silence. No one dared to speak another word.
John then looked at Lisa. “Mrs. Sager, please excuse Sherry and I.”
Lisa looked at Sherry.
Sherry then said, “I’m sorry, Lisa. Let’s talk later.”
Lisa nodded and said in a rather hoarse voice, “Okay.”
Without further ado, Sherry carried Caprice and left the hall with John following behind her. They swiftly disappeared beyond the crowd’s sight.
Carl was left petrified and aggrieved on the spot, watching as John took Sherry away from him.
Right when the two of them almost disappeared from his sight, John wanted to chase after. Sherry, but Lisa held him back before he could take a step forward. She held his arm tightly, but unlike her previous strict tone, she said to him in a gentle and soft manner, “Let’s go, Carl.”
Carl’s eyes were bloodshot. “Mom…” He did not want to lose Sherry just like that.
He shook his mother’s hand off and strode out of the hall.
Lisa narrowed her eyes. She also glared at Ron and his family before she went after Carl.
Sherry and John had left the woods, escaping from the crowd.
Sherry glared at him. “Take your dirty hands off me!”
John pursed his lips and retracted his hands from her back.
Caprice was in Sherry’s arms, and she saw her mother yell at her father. Startled, her petite body
shook.
Sherry then realized a pair of teary eyes was looking at her. She was then aware of the girl’s gaze and quickly calmed herself down.
The girl pouted after her mother calmed down and said, “Mommy, you look so fierce.”
Sherry said, “It was Daddy who made me mad. I didn’t yell on purpose.”
