Chapter 1707
Ada could no longer stay quiet. She said, “Carl, even if her ex-husband is Master Stockton, she used to be married! She’s out of your league!”
Carl's gaze turned cold. John turned to Ada with a vicious grin. “Who might this be?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Maybe Carl's frosty gaze scared her, or maybe because she was afraid of John’s vicious smile, Ada immediately averted their gazes.
Anne threw a warning glare at her before she said to John, “Master Stockon, she’s my brother’s daughter. My brother and his wife rarely have the time to educate her. Please forgive her impoliteness.”
John smiled. “Mr. Wright, your niece really needs someone to teach her where her place is. Please educate her properly.”
Any one of the Sagers could call out Sherry’s past marriage, but not Ada.
Why would an outsider have the right to lecture Sherry?
Ron responded nervously, “Yes, | will. Thank you for the advice. | will educate her about manners properly when we get home.” Ada reacted in grievance, but John’s aura was too strong, so strong that even Ron dared not talk back to him, hence her sulking. Lisa’s complicated reaction shifted multiple times, and so did Carl’s.
The other guests dared not say a word as well.
Sherry remained still and silent with Caprice in her arms.
It was then that Madam Sager said, “Judging from your tone, Master Stockton, you seem to have lingering feelings for your ex- wife.”
Compared to when she glared at Sherry, Madam Sager looked warm and kind when she spoke to John. John smiled and said, “You are right, Madam Sager. | do still have feelings for her.”
His words left everyone speechless, even Madam Sager. She did not expect John to admit his feelings brazenly and without embarrassment.
Sherry exasperatedly sighed and glared at the back of his head.
Madam Sager scoffed. “If you still care about her, why don’t you take her away? The Sagers have no place for such a woman.” John continued srniling. “You are right. With Sherry’s capabilities, the Sagers do not deserve her at
all.”
His words once again rendered everyone speechless and stunned Sherry.
What did he just say?
However, the man managed to get the situation under control.
Madam Sager might not be happy with him, but she dared not vent her anger brazenly either. She smiled and said, “Then, please take her away.”
“| really want to, but | wonder if Mrs. Sager and Young Master Carl agree.” He then looked at Lisa and Carl.
Lisa reacted with a complicated look. She did not answer. Instead, she looked at Carl. Carl glared at John coldly. “I dis-” “I'll leave with you,” Sherry said to John before Carl could finish his sentence.
John had threatened her with the marriage certificate whereas Madam Sager had threatened her with her life, which left her no options.
Lisa and Carl were helpless against the situation either. No matter how much Carl disagreed, he could not change the situation. Sherry did not want to put him in a difficult place, so she took the initiative to put an end to this farce.
Then, she went over to John with Caprice in her arms.
The entire hall was quiet as Madam Sager sighed a breath of relief.
Ron and Anne were secretly delighted.
The guests watched quietly, and so did Lisa.
Carl clenched his fists. He wanted to pull Sherry over, but before he could even touch her, she was pulled into John’s arms.
