Chapter 1718

Lisa glanced at Carl who had been staring at Sherry silently the entire time. After a momentary silence, she asked

Sherry, “What’s the situation between you and Master Stockton right now? Since you’re divorced, why did he come

all the way here to Coastrock to meet you?”

Sherry turned to Caprice.

The child was getting sleepy by now and was beginning to doze off in Lisa’s arms. She would be drifting off to sleep

soon.

Sherry whispered, “I haven’t divorced him yet.”

Lisa was shocked by this.

Carl was just as taken aback, and he was visibly disturbed by this.

A stagnant silence fell upon them, until Lisa expressed somberly, “So, that’s why…”

That explained John’s antics during the engagement ceremony and why he had taken advantage of Aiden to further

his agenda.

The two were not divorced yet.

Lisa recalled the pictures of Sherry and John that Aiden had cast on the screen during the engagement ceremony

and asked suspiciously, “If you two are not divorced, why does it look like you two don’t get along in those pictures

back there?”

Caprice was already soundly asleep by this point.

Sherry swiped a cautious look at Caprice before confessing. “The situation between us is very tense. I don’t plan to

be with him much longer.”

Lisa recalled how Sherry had turned into a different person ever since her trip to Glanchester, and this new

revelation immediately shed new light on the full picture. A thoughtful look appeared in her eyes as she nodded

with great understanding, “Alright, no matter what you decide, just know I’m on your side.”

Sherry smiled. “Aunt Lisa, don’t worry about a thing. I will come up with something to help Carl take over Sager

Corporation as soon as possible.”

Lisa smiled and said, “Okay, I believe you.

Sherry rose, “Caprice is getting tired. I’ll take her back home for now. Just call me if anything. comes up, alright?”

Lisa handed Caprice back to Sherry reluctantly “Alright, just take Caprice home, and don’t stress yourself over what

happened. Also, you can bring her around here to visit me if you have time in the future.”

She was always busy overseeing things at the company, so this was the first time in years that she had a chance to

spend time with a child. The fact that Caprice was adorable and endearing certainly contributed to her immediate

obsession with the child.

Sherry smiled and gave her word before leaving with Caprice in her arms.

Carl had not said a word the entire time. When he saw Sherry preparing to leave, he rose and looked at her with a

gloomy expression.

When Sherry turned to him, he immediately formed a smile, assuming his usual nonchalance and grace.

Sherry informed him, “I’ll be leaving with Caprice for now. Take care of your mother.”

Carl grimaced.

Before he could speak, Lisa spoke up, “I don’t need the brat to keep me company.”

With that, she turned to him. “Carl, send Sherry off for me.”

Carl merely grunted.

Sherry happened to have something to say to Carl, so she let him walk her out of the house.

Once they were past the gate, she stopped and turned to him. Her voice was rather grave as she spoke to him,

“Carl, there is something I want to tell you.”

Carl met her eyes with a casual smile. “What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the fire back in Glanchester. It wasn’t John. He never intended to harm me this entire time…”

After that, Sherry gave a summary of the situation, going over how Julie attempted to use Madam Stockton against

her to drive a wedge between her and John.

Carl frowned after hearing the full story. “She was the perpetrator this entire time? Why did she do it?”

“She had a thing for John.”

Carl nodded, then he suddenly asked with a knowing smile, “So, you’re saying that he came here to look for you

and explain things to you so that you will take him back?”

Sherry scowled the moment she heard this and declared adamantly, “I’m never going to take him back.”

Carl seemed pleased to hear this though he made sure to hide it. He followed up with another question, “Are you

going to divorce him?”

“I want to,” Sherry said as she looked at Caprice who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and told Carl truthfully. “But

Caprice won’t let me. I don’t want to hurt her feelings.”

Carl’s eyes darkened. He chuckled softly before presenting another question, “Are you going to sacrifice your

happiness for the rest of your life for Caprice?”
