Chapter 1720


    Although it may seem like the shareholders were concerned about her, it was clear as day that they were probing for information


    about John.


    Ron was the most suspicious of them all, evident by his message that read, “President Sherry, Aiden and Caden have done


    something terrible today. If they hade to me and told me about their n, | would have shut it down immediately. | would like


    to apologize for what happened.


    “Also, forgive my mom for being so stubborn in her traditional ideals. She’s our elder after all. What’s wrong with being married


    before? As long as you have something to offer to the table, | won’t mind you wedding into the family even if you have been


    divorced thrice in the past.


    “It''s truly a shame that things were ruined by Aiden and Cade. | have already lectured them just now. When youe in to work


    on Monday, | will have them apologize to you.


    “By the way, say hello to Master Stockton for me, if you would.”


    Sherry chuckled.


    The final sentence was the one that spelled his intention; the rest were nothing but filler.


    Upon reading the message, she understood the reason Ron and his family were afraid of stirring up drama and spreading the


    news. They were afraid of her using John against them.


    She took a deep breath and looked across the living room.


    John was seated on the couch on the other edge of the room facing her with a book in hand.


    The book was part of a collection of business materials that Lisa had given to her as a gift after she arrived in Coastrock. Lisa


    had given them to her to help her build her knowledge and expertise in the industry.


    It did not take long at all for John to get halfway through the book. It was not surprising since he was made for business since the


    day he was born. The contents of the book must bepletely. amateurish to his genius mind.


    Sherry found herself overwhelmed with a sudden rush of irritability.


    That was when John suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her.


    Sherry caught his gaze. She suddenly grew defensive and asked snappily, “What are you looking at me for?”


    John remained silent. He formed a coy smile and said, “No reason. | just felt like looking at you.” Sherry shot him a look, then


    she turned her attention back to herptop to avoid looking at John altogether.


    John suddenly asked her, “Have you finished this book?”


    Sherry answered snappily, “I finished it a long time ago.”


    John remarked casually, “Well, the contents are okay, it’s just a bit dated.”


    Sherry was visibly annoyed by this. She continued to stare at her the disy and said without


    bothering to turn to John, “I know, | finished the book two years ago.”


    John made a look and did his best to suppress a smile as he said, “I would say this book was only relevant around three years


    ago.”


    Sherry stayed silent. Her cheeks grew red as she red at John viciously.


    John smiled condescendingly and brushed her off, “Still, you could learn a lot from this, I’m sure.”


    Sherry took a breath and ignored him. She may not be as experienced as John, but she did manage to extract a lot of helpful


    information from the book. She was aware that books did not offer as much as real-world practical experiences, but they still


    helped her considerably.


    That was why she had read the books, to prepare herself for when she stepped into the business field. She knew that she had


    relied on nothing but her abilities and determination to ascend the ranks inside Sager Corporation.


    John suddenly remarked, “You do have a talent for business. | know a couple of books that can be very helpful. Do you want me


    to source them for you?”


    She refused without even considering it, “No thanks.”


    He paused for a moment before saying, “Well, at least let me tell you the names of these books.”


    She grimaced and ignored him entirely.


    He smiled and took out his phone.


    Shortly after that, Sherry’s phone began chiming.


    John had sent the titles of the books he mentioned to her.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She merely nced at the phone before putting it away.


    She spied John from the corner of her eye and noticed he had picked up the book and resumed reading. She sneakily reached


    for her phone again and went through the list of books John had sent her, then she went to an online bookstore and ordered


    each one of them.


    Unbeknownst to her, John was hardly paying attention to the book at all and was spying on her the entire time. He observed how


    she seemed to scurry about and was very amused. A subtle smile formed on his lips.


    The day passed quickly.


    Sherry remained by the window all day while John sat on the couch.
