Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 1574

Contrary to Julie’s belief, Sherry was hardly interested in trying to suck up to Madam Stockton as she barely cared

about what Madam Stockton thought of her at all.

Sherry answered curtly with a condescending smile, “Sorry for disappointing you, but I never planned to go inside in

the first place.”

Julie was suspicious. “Then why did you send Caprice to her?”

Sherry chuckled. “Heh… Julie, do you truly think that I sent Caprice to Madam Stockton just to please her?”

Julie asked cautiously, “What else?”

“No comment.” Sherry smiled and walked on.

A thought suddenly occurred to her while she was walking away. She suddenly halted and approached Julie again,

stopping only a step in front of her. “Julie, there’s something I’m curious about as well. Is pleasing Madam Stockton

the only thing you care about?”

Why else would her immediate assumption of seeing Caprice being sent to Madam Stockton be that Sherry was

trying to get on the madam’s good side?

Julie looked ashamed to have been exposed so directly, she screwed her face in

anger.

Sherry noticed her scowl and it brought a smile to her face. She walked away without another word.

“Sherry, I just want you to know that I have no bad intentions toward you,” she proclaimed suddenly.

To this, Sherry asked, “Am I supposed to take this to mean that you only have good intentions?”

Julie did not answer.

She had gone pale suddenly. When she noticed Sherry preparing to march off again, she sneered and stated, “I just

wasn’t expecting you to come back after you’ve been away for three years. Back then, it looked like the only thing

you ever wanted was to get away from John.”

Sherry stopped and turned back to look at Julie.

Julie was smiling sarcastically.

Sherry felt like there was more Julie had to say and tried to pry it out of her. “What do you mean by that?”

Julie smiled sardonically. “I’m just saying, it seems to me that you have some ulterior motive for coming back.”

Sherry considered this theory, then she replied curtly, “Then you’re going to be

disappointed again. There’s no particular reason for my coming back. I just felt like doing it.”

Julie questioned her again, “What you’re saying is that you came back here so you could spend the rest of your life

with John? Are you not going to go back to Coastrock?”

She stared into Sherry’s eyes intently.

Sherry frowned and stated, “I don’t think it’s any of your business whether I choose to spend the rest of my life with

John or head back to Coastrock.”

“I’m just curious, that’s all.”

“Next time, keep your curiosity to yourself,” Sherry said and prepared to walk away

again.

Julie provoked her again. “Sherry, do you still remember what you did to John nine years ago?”

Sherry stopped.

Nine years ago? Why was this woman bringing up something from so long ago?

Julie noticed Sherry’s reaction and continued pressing. “If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to show my face around

here again. John might claim that he doesn’t hold it against you anymore, but I’m sure he still thinks about it now

and then.

“You’d better watch yourself and make sure you don’t step out of line. If you do, I’m sure you’lll end up worse than

three years ago.”

Sherry, felt tightness seizing her around her chest, she darted a cross look at Julie. Julie, why are you telling me all

this now?”

“While you weren’t around, things couldn’t be any more peaceful at home. All I’m saying is that I’d like to keep the

peace in our household,” Julie continued with a scornful smile, “Also, I’d like to give you a little advice. If you’re

going to spend the rest of your life with John, you’d better watch yourself and make sure you don’t do anything

stupid again.”

With that, she walked away before Sherry could even utter a word.

A gust of cold and harsh wind blew down the pathway and beat against Sherry.

Nine years ago, she was the one who dumped John because she thought he could not provide the financial security

she needed. When she evoked these memories, the trauma imposed by John three years ago came to rise to the

surface as well.

She was shivering all over.

She tucked her hands in her pockets in a feeble attempt to get some warmth, then she shuffled back to her room.

Meanwhile, Julie was hiding in a dark corner. She watched Sherry retreating miserably to her courtyard with great

satisfaction.

She grinned menacingly and mumbled to herself, “Sherry, you’d get out of here if you know what’s good for you.”

She had always seen Sherry as nothing more than a crass, lowly woman who suckled up to the wealthy class

because she could not stand her own poverty. Judging by the history of her ditching John for superficial reasons, she

must be a wretched woman.

She hoped Sherry would be wise enough to take her advice back there. She should know that if she ever

misstepped again, John would unravel the past and unleash his fury in full upon her.

Meanwhile, at Madam Stockton’s.

She was resting in the living room, slumped on the couch like a lifeless sack. Her face was ashen and her limbs

were without strength.

That was until Queenie entered with Caprice.
