Chapter 1425
The party had just started and most of the guests had arrived. They were mostly scattered across the ballroom in
small groups and were mingling with wine in their hands.
The chandeliers overhead cast a warm glow over the guests and served to color the venue with a certain elegance
that was not overbearing.
At this time, the silver car had just arrived outside the hotel.
The valets at the hotel immediately stepped forward to get the door.
Two figures emerged from the car, one of a tall man and the other of a tiny figure.
The man was dressed in a dark gray handmade suit and had on a pair of gold–framed glasses.
He was devilishly handsome. The light fixtures of the hotel beat down on him like a spotlight and highlighted his fine
features. He wore a subtle smile on his lips.
Upon closer inspection, one could identify the devilish charm lurking in the depths of his eyes. It was as alluring as it
was dangerous. His eyes were a bottomless pit that
would pull its prey closer and entangle them before they even knew it.
Fortunately, the hotel staff who went up to greet him were aware of his identity. They only dared to cast a brief look
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinto, his eyes before turning away sheepishly.
The little girl he carried in his arms was just as eye- catching as he was.
”
Dressed in a large fiery red coat and wearing a crimson red hat, her fair complexion stood out more than anything.
Her puffy, chubby cheeks were especially visible along with a pair of jeweled eyes that seemed to take in all the
light in the room.
She resembled every bit of a princess who came out of a painting. She was adorable and charming, a little great
beauty.
Before they even stepped into the hotel, a group of people had already flocked out of the venue to greet them.
“Master Stockton, good evening.”
“This must be the little miss, she’s so cute.”

Everyone wore the same polite smile and was more than eager to greet the two of them.
John kept a formal smile on the entire time and
responded nicely to their warm welcome.
Caprice stared at them quietly, her eyes wide open the entire time.
The father and daughter swiftly entered the venue.
That was when Caprice suddenly spotted something amid the crowd as she expressed in a confused voice, “Huh?”
She cast an intent look in one particular direction.
John immediately followed her line of sight and saw nothing but the same crowd of people.
There was a clearing behind the crowd and nothing else beyond that.
He adjusted Caprice’s hat and asked, “Caprice, did you see anything?”
Caprice shook her head but kept her eyes fixed in the same direction.
She must have seen something particularly interesting to
her.
John did not pay further attention to it.
Several relatives had just come up to greet him so he turned his attention back to them.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the venue.
Behind a wall that was out of Caprice’s line of sight.
Sherry squatted low, her back pressed against the wall. 1
She never expected Caprice to be so sharp and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmimmediately notice her the moment she stepped into the ballroom.
It was fortunate that she hid quickly. She doubted that Caprice would have identified her in such a short time.
She remained there for a short while.
She heard the sound of the crowd slowly dispersing. The circus around John should have scattered away by now.
She took a deep breath and prepared to get up.
That was when a bright red shape came into her peripheral vision.
She looked up and met a pair of large, shining eyes.
She was so taken aback by this that she sat back down again.
Caprice observed her quietly and said, “You’re the liar.”
Sherry was not expecting Caprice to remember her especially since it had been several days since their last
meeting.
She smiled and said, “Caprice, I’m not a liar.”
Caprice’s large eyes quaked a little inside their sockets. ” Then who are you?”
Sherry looked around, then cautiously whispered to her, This isn’t a good place to talk. Let’s find a quiet place for us
to talk, okay?”
Though she was hiding behind a pillar that kept her out of view, Caprice was too conspicuous in her bright red get -
up.
