Chapter 1052


    Chapter 1052 As Sherry suddenly stiffened, all the color drained from her face.


    Janine was wearing a moss green dress thatplimented her figure perfectly. Despite her age, all her years of proper


    maintenance provided ample upkeep for her appearance, and she seemed like she was only in her mid-thirties.


    Sherry immediately recognized the look of masked contempt on Janine’s face despite her best attempts at hiding it.


    When Shannon caught Sherry‘s eyes, she smiled a sarcastic smile and greeted her somewhat affably,” Sister.” .


    Just as she was about to approach Sherry, Janine quickly grabbed her by the arm, hence she turned back to Janine with a stark


    look of confusion.


    Janine did not utter a word and only cast a cruel look at Sherry. Sherry grimaced and continued heading toward the restroom


    The restroom was located on the edge of the garden, so it was rtively quiet, and there was nobody inside at the


    current moment.


    She went to the sink and sshed icy water on her face to rinse off the wine. Then, she grabbed a bunch of tissues to wipe her


    neck and her wrists clean.


    After cleaning herself, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and finally gathered the strength to head back outside having


    managed to calm herself down. As soon as she stepped outside , she met Janine who was waiting for her underneath the shade


    of trees. She was standing there by herself with not a soul nearby. With a scowl, Sherry shot a look at her and continued


    walking.


    Janine called after her in an offended tone, “Stop! Can''t you see that I''ve been waiting for you?”


    Sherry sneered. “I can see you. | just don’t want anyone to see the two of us together. | wouldn''t dare cause you to lose face by


    letting them discover that | am your daughter.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Janine snorted condescendingly. “Stop that nonsense. What made you suddenly live with the Stocktons after disappearing for a


    year? Was it truly Master Stockton himself who brought you here? Answer me.”


    Based on this statement , Sherry figured that the two of them had been here long enough to witness everything that happened,


    including her confrontation with Queenie.


    She smiled and replied, “I cane and go wherever | please. What does that have to do with you?” Janine gasped in horror.


    “Im your mother. Of course, it has everything to do with me!”


    “Then, why haven''t you ever asked me about where I''ve been since | disappeared?”


    She had been stuck with John all year. Even Sylvia, who was miles away in Westchester, had gone through all that effort to


    locate her, and yet, her mother had no idea where she had been this entire time.


    What an exemry mother.


    Janine seemed appalled by this usation, evident by the shock that overtook her countenance. She peered icily at Sherry and


    defended herself, “Your phone was turned off this entire time. How am | supposed to know where you are if | can''t contact you?”


    “So, you gave up on finding me just because you couldn''t call me?” Sherry rebuked, “I''ve been gone for a year. Were you never


    concerned that something bad happened to me? Let me guess, you were hoping that | would never show up again, that | had


    somehow died, weren''t you?” “You!” Janine snapped angrily and tried to strike Sherry across her cheek. Sherry swiftly ducked


    out of the way and backed against a tree. She stared mockingly at Janine.


    “You brat!” Janine red at her. “As if you weren''t the one at fault for never contacting me or your father! How dare you use


    us of being the ones who never cared about you!” “I suppose you have a point.” Sherry smiled wryly and suddenly raised another


    matter. “But if Shannon disappeared for a year and didn''t contact you, would you still say all these things about her?”


    Janine suddenly did not know how to respond.


    Sherry smirked and dered , “No, you wouldn''t. If she had disappeared for just two days, you would have been on the phone


    with the police andbed the world to look for her. Imagine how desperate you would be if she vanished for a year!” Janine


    glowered . “Don''t you dare spout this nonsense. Answer me, why are you here?” These hypothetical rhetorics were getting them


    nowhere, and Sherry decided there was no use going on. She straightened up and answered, “Why else do you think? John told


    me toe.”
