Sherry frowned instinctively.

This was the same courtyard complex where she had to spend a year as a prisoner and hostage.

Why were they stopping here?

The bodyguard stepped out of the car and opened the door on John’s side.

John peered at Sherry before getting out of the car.

Sherry was just about to get out of the car with Caprice still sleeping soundly in her arms when she heard

approaching footsteps.

From inside the car, she quickly identified Madam Stockton and Julie.

Madam Stockton was wearing a cashmere shawl, dressed as extravagant as ever.

Julie had changed a little from how Sherry remembered her. She wore a light pink long coat and rested her hair

over her shoulders. On the whole, she seemed more fashionable and younger compared to her previous style.

Madam Stockton walked up to John and asked, “John, where’s Caprice?”

John answered with a frown.

Madam Stockton did not wait for an answer and leaned inside the car to find Caprice.

She immediately met Sherry’s gaze.

For a moment, it was as if time had stopped.

Madam Stockton’s pupils immediately became dilated, she howled, “Sherry! Why are you here?”

This caught Julie’s attention. She spied a look inside as well.

Sherry knew there was no way out of this so she decided, to step out of the car, Caprice still sleeping soundly in her

arms.

Madam Stockton glared at her with stark hostility.

Julie had gone pale at the sight of Sherry as she regarded Sherry warily as well.

Sherry ignored them.

Their marriage did not mean anything to them, she only moved here because of Caprice. She was not interested in

interacting with Madam Stockton and Julie in any shape or form, so she would not try to appeal to them.

It was this indifference and pompousness that struck a nerve in Madam Stockton.

She first glared at Sherry, then at John.

Julie turned to John as well and asked in a cordial voice mixed with confusion, “What’s going on? Why is Miss Sherry

here?”

John turned to the bodyguards. “Bring her luggage inside.”

The bodyguard immediately stepped to the task. They took Sherry’s suitcase out of the trunk and brought them

into the courtyard.

John turned to Sherry. “Go inside.”

Sherry was relieved to have been offered a path of escape.

She hugged Caprice tightly and passed between John, Madam Stockton, and Julie. She followed the bodyguards into

the courtyard.

After she was out of sight, she could hear Madam

Stockton’s blood–curdling howl. “What did you say?! A marriage certificate?!”

Fortunately, Caprice was sleeping like a log and was not awakened by the sharp cry.

Sherry took a deep breath, coddled’ Caprice in her arms, and continued walking.

She quickly noticed that something had changed.

The complex had been renovated entirely, except for the exterior walls that seemed the same as before. The

interior of the courtyard had been completely transformed.

The wall connected to the courtyard complex where John resided was torn down, thus connecting the two

complexes into a singular giant courtyard.

The garden and the large tree she used for shade when she would work on her embroidery remained intact.

Everything else apart from those had been transformed.

The living areas were all built in the center of the space.

For some reason, the courtyard along with the building she used to stay in had been razed to the ground and

turned into a large garden.

They had done a good job of transforming the place, but she still could not figure out why John had decided to tear

everything down.

She could not stifle her curiosity and decided to ask the bodyguard, “Hey, Jason, didn’t there used to be two

separate courtyards back then?”

Jason answered, “Ma’am, it was Master Stockton who ordered the renovation.”

Sherry asked again, “Then do you know why he did it?”

She doubted that it was because he wanted to transform the space into a garden.

There were countless gardens in the villa as was, and the garden by the entrance was easily several folds larger

than the courtyard complex.

Jason seemed troubled by Sherry’s questions, he did not know how to answer these questions she had put to him.

Sherry noticed his hesitation and told him, “You can tell me, I promise I won’t let anyone know.”

Jason grimaced and spoke at last, “I don’t know if these are just rumors, but they say that Master Stockton decided

to have it torn down because his ex–wife who he hated used to live here.”
