Chapter 1719
Sherry only needed to gaze at Caprice’s peacefully asleep expression to reaffirm her decision, “As long as Caprice is happy, I’m happy.”
Something darkened in Carl’s eyes, and he found his fists clenching subconsciously. “But even if you divorced John, you could still be Caprice’s mother, nothing is stopping you from visiting her-” Bang!
Suddenly, they heard the loud thud of a car door being slammed shut.
Carl was jolted by this and began tensing up.
Sherry turned around warily, only to meet the man who had originally promised to sit still in the car and wait for her and Caprice. The man was now walking over with a faint smile hanging on his lips.
He approached Sherry and shot a look at Carl. “Young Master Sager, you’re trying to persuade a mother to get divorced from her husband right in the presence of their daughter. That doesn’t seem very appropriate to me.”
Carl had an adverse reaction to this and stated crossly, “Sherry is a close friend of mine. Of course, I would suggest whatever is best for her.”
John wore the same stoic smile. “No need to worry about her. I’ll take care of her well enough from here on.”
Carl remained silent.
Sherry was stunned in silence for a moment as well. She made a look and turned to Carl. “Carl, I’ll be leaving with Caprice for now. Don’t worry about me. Make sure you get some rest.”
She was not interested in the men’s bickering and made the wise choice of marching toward the car with Caprice still sleeping soundly in her arms.
John smiled at Carl and followed her.
As Sherry was settling Caprice into the car, she heard Carl’s voice from a distance behind her.” Sherry, Coastrock is my territory. If anyone gives you a hard time again, remember that you can. call me, and I promise you that I’ll take care of him. I’ll make him regret ever coming to Coastrock!”
Sherry shuddered upon hearing this.
Before she could answer, John retorted, “She has me by her side now. Nobody is going to give her a hard time. Thanks for the concern, Young Master Sager.”
Sherry walked straight out of the room and walked past the man without even sparing a second to look at him. She found her laptop and proceeded to prop herself by a window in the living room, making herself comfy on the floor.
She wanted to have a look to what extent the news of the disastrous engagement ceremony had spread.
She dug through several major media outlets in Coastrock, and to her surprise, it seemed like nearly none of the media outlets had picked up on the news. It seemed like it mostly stayed within. Sager Corporation.
It struck her as very odd. Would it not make sense for Ron and his family to spread the news far and wide to sabotage Lisa and Carl’s reputation?
She grew suspicious.
It was around this point that she realized that her phone had been ringing.
She pulled it out of her pocket and found that while she was focused on digging up news online, she had been bombarded by texts. Most of the texts were from the shareholders at Sager Corporation. Even Ron had sent her a text.
