Sherry red at John.
If her eyes could firesers, John would have been punctured with numerous holes by now.
She swallowed the rage in her breath and went back to coaxing Caprice, “No, that’s not what this is, Mommy only wants to go to
them to talk about something.”
“What do you guys want to talk about?” John asked sharply.
Caprice was still sobbing.
Sherry was running out of options She took a deep breath and confessed, “I was never with Carl. Our
engagement was a ruse this entire time.”
John seemed intrigued by this.
Caprice suddenly stopped sobbing. She caught her breath and asked in a tone ofplete naivety, “What''s a ruse?”
Sherry heaved a sigh of relief and answered, “It means that you’re putting on an act for others. We want people to think that I’m
with Uncle Carl when in reality, nothing is happening between us at all.”
Caprice only heard the part where they were not together and immediately lit up. “Why are you two acting?”
Sherry answered softly, “It’s all veryplicated. You wouldn’t understand at your age.”
“Exin it anyway. | can understand,” John said with a brilliant glow shining in his eyes.
Sherry shot him an icy look before continuing, “Right now, Lisa is the one who holds the rights to Sager Corporation. Even
though Carl is recognized as the heir, he’s not very popr amongst the inner circle, especially since Ron and the others want
the corporation for themselves. They''re in cahoots with the shareholder to bar Carl from taking over.
“The catch is that | have an esteemed position in the corporation and some of the shareholders are on my side. If | marry Carl, it
can strengthen his case for taking over.”
She confessed to everything in one breath, knowing that John was going to leverage Caprice against her and refuse to let her go
if she did not reveal the full circumstances.
Upon hearing this, John smiled satisfactorily and asked, “Whose idea is this?”
Sherry answered, “Aunt Lisa’s. Carl and | agreed to the n.”
John nodded.
Caprice sighed, “Adults are soplicated.” She barely understood what was happening.
Sherry patted her head and then turned to John. “Thanks to you ruining the engagement today, this n that we came up with is
not going to work anymore. I''ll have to meet with them again to discuss what we are going to have to do after this to salvage the
situation.”
With that, she asked crossly, “So, will you move?”
John held his ground.
Sherry red at him. “What else do you want?”
John smirked. A gentle glow appeared in his eyes as he proposed, “I’ll go with you.”
“Why would you do that?” Sherry was baffled. “I don’t need you toe with me. Just look after Caprice.”
Before John could even voice his objections, Caprice spoke up, “We’re going with you, Mommy.” She was still worried about
Sherry abandoning them.
John reassured her, “Don’t worry, | won’t get in your way. We''re just going to follow you there, then we''ll wait for you outside
while you take care of business.”
Caprice gave her word as well. “Yeap.”Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
Sherry grimaced. She gave in and carried Caprice, then she went outside.
John followed. He was standing closely behind her when they stepped out of the elevator.
Sherry snarled grumpily, “Get away from me.”
Everything she had done, she had done for Caprice. Her daughter was the sole reason she had not divorced John and even
went as far as to confess the truth of her engagement with Carl.
Even though she was not divorced from John yet, they were only husband and wife in name
John frowned and kept his distance. He made sure to keep a wider gap between them.
The traffic was rtively mild at this hour of the day.
Shortly after that, Sherry arrived outside Lisa’s vi with John and Caprice in her car Sherry turned to Caprice, “Caprice, stay in
the car with your father. I''ll be back in a minute.”
