Chapter 1698


    “B*stards! All three of them, b*stards! Just you wait!” Caden shouted,pletely furious.


    Aiden tried to calm him. “That''s enough, don’t let them hear you.”


    Ron’s face darkened significantly He suddenly asked in a hushed voice, “Have you guys made the arrangements?”


    Aiden smiled wretchedly. “Yeah, everything is ready, we’re going to humiliate them in front of everyer


    Ron was d to hear this as he smiled and assured his sons, “Aiden, Caden, we just need to make sure everything goes as


    nned today. I''ll take care of the rest and make sure they get booted out of the corporation Then we can take over and you two


    can take charge of the corporation from there on.”


    Aiden and Caden chuckled viinously.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Meanwhile, the trio of Sherry, Lisa, and Carl went into the woods next to the vi. Carl suddenly patted Sherry’s head and


    remarked, “Sherry, you looked adorable just now when you punched that


    rascal.”


    Adorable?


    Sherry shot a look at him.


    Was that supposed to be an insult? Did he want to get punched as well?


    Carl winked coyly


    Lisa walked along the other side of Sherry and did not notice Carl shooting looks at Sherry She had something to say about what


    happened as well. “That punch you threw back there was so satisfying. I''ve been wanting to see those damn brats getting a


    damn thrashing for ages now.


    Carl remarked, “Mom, you should''ve said it sooner, I’d have been more than d to do the dirty work for you.


    Lisa shot him a sideways look. “You little brat, do you think giving them a childish beating is enough to kick them out of the


    corporation?”


    “One beating might not be enough.” Carl smiled. “But I’m sure a couple more beatings could help


    with that.”


    Lisa quipped, “I''ll give you a couple beating, see if that helps.”


    “Mom, I’m your son, remember?”


    “Of course | remember, I''d have dragged your butt across the floor if it wasn’t for that.”


    Carl was speechless.


    Sherry smiled as she listened to the pair of mother and son bickering back and forth. Soon, they found themselves in an opening


    in the middle of the woods.


    It was arge open space surrounded by lush greenery


    This was where the engagement ceremony was to be held.


    There was a tform built at the opposite end, and tables and chairs were alreadyid out for the guests and rtives attending


    the ceremony.


    Most of the guests had not gone to their assigned seats yet, they were walking around the venue and busy mingling with one


    another


    Upon noticing Sherry and Carl, the main characters of the day, the crew of guests greeted them warmly and showered them with


    words of congrattions.


    Lisa thanked every one of them. After a while, she noticed that the scheduled time had crept up to them and summoned one of


    the staff members in charge of conducting the ceremony to ask, Have all the guests arrived?”


    The staff informed her, “Everyone is here.”


    Lisa smiled. “Perfect, let’s begin, then.”


    “Alright.” The staff member quickly went to get the event host for the night.


    Suddenly, a sharp shrill of a voice that sent a shiver down their spines emitted from the crowd. “I haven’t even sat down yet,


    what''s the hurry? Some host you are, not prioritizing thefort of your honored guests!”


    This attracted Lisa’s attention so she turned around to see who this was.


    Sherry turned around as well and was confronted by the sight of Madam Sager.


    Anne and Ada were next to her, helping her keep her bnce as she slowly limped toward her seat. Following closely behind


    them were Ron, Aiden, and Caden.


    Sherry frowned.


    Why was the old hag here?


    Lisa and Carl seemed concerned as well.


    Lisa remembered inviting Madam Sager to the ceremony but what she got was a swift and adamant refusal. In the words of


    Madam Sager, she was not going to let Sherry into the family so long as she was breathing on this earth.


    Why was she attending?


    Although Lisa was puzzled by her sudden appearance and could not deny her aversion toward the vulgar olddy, she knew


    better than to let it show in a public space. One way or another, she had to give Madam Sager the respect she was due


    She smiled gracefully “That’s a surprise, didn’t you tell me that you were noting? My bad, | assumed you wouldn’te so |


    thought we could kick things off already.”
