Chapter 1050
The formal purpose of the party was for Madam Stockton to get together and catch up, but
the true intention was to match John with a suitable candidate.
By all accounts, Sherry had no right to be there because Madam Stockton would
never acknowledge her as John‘s partner.
John must have been out of his mind to make her attend. He even threatened that she would have to
embroider twenty pieces of garments if she did not show up.
A gust of
cold wind blew in her direction and made her shudder. She shielded herself from the wind with one
hand and lifted the wine glass with the other.
At least, the wine was good.
The young ladies she saw attending the party were all captivating and beautiful. All of them commande
d the attention of the passersby. As beautiful as they were though, she realized that
she had never seen any one of them.
They must all hail from Glanchester.
When the party began, Madam Stockton showed up with Queenie and Julie to help her bridge
the communication with the younglings at the party.
Julie had her hair braided for the occasion and wore a well –fitted gown that had
elegance written all over. As Queenie followed after her, her curly blonde hair seemed to
have a life of its own as it fluttered with every step she took. She
donned a bright pink dress that commanded attention.
The moment they showed up, a group
of people surrounded them. Julie was quite the socialite and made conversation with everyone.
Once the crowd slowly dispersed, she noticed Sherry standing in the corner. She
was startled by the sight of Sherry but quickly greeted her with a polite smile.
Although Sherry was
not as sociable as Julie was, she had amassed more than enough experience in her years of managing
Lush Heaven. In just one glance, she could tell that
Julie was merely greeting her out of practical decency.
Besides, she already knew that Julie had never been fond, of her. She was the heralded, much–
praised daughter–in law of the Stocktons, and she considered herself too good for Sherry.
Sherry hated the way Julie smiled, knowing that she had nothing but contempt for herself deep
down. Nevertheless, Sherry ignored her and turned her head away. She picked up a slice of
cake and stuffed it into her
mouth,
However, Julie was not a fan of being ignored, so she seemed to do a double take.
Meanwhile, Queenie, who was currently being showered with praises by everyone around her, noticed
Julie‘s strange behavior. She looked at her and asked curiously,“ What‘s the matter?” Julie raised her c
hin in Sherry‘s direction and said, “Isn‘t that Sherry? Why is she here?”
Upon hearing the mention of Sherry‘s presence, Queenie‘s expression turned hostile. She followed Juli
e’s line of sight and quickly identified her nemesis who she approached.
Sherry had just finished a sweet and delicious slice of cake and was about to help herself to another se
rving when she heard Queenie‘s judgmental tone from behind,” Sherry, who said you could attend this
party? What even makes you think that you have the right to be here?” Sherry picked up the
cake and looked back at her. She smiled briskly while taking a bite out of the
cake. “Your brother was the one
who asked me to come. I don‘t understand why some poor old peasant like me needs to be here as wel
l. Why don‘t you ask him for me?”
Queenie‘s face became flushed red with anger. She finally burst out after a few seconds
of silence, “That‘s a load of nonsense. Why would my brother let someone like you
attend? Get out of here!”
She screamed at the top of her voice and drew the attention of many
people. Julie went up to them immediately and tried to calm Queenie down. “Come on, since John aske
better leave her alone.‘
Queenie only became more upset upon hearing this. “My brother would never invite someone like
her. She must have snuck in here herself! How completely shameless!”
As soon as she said this, many people turned to gawk at Sherry.
Did she really sneak in? How
could anyone barge in here without being directly invited by Madam Stockton?
This was a party to help Master Stockton find
a suitable marriage partner, so who would have the audacity to sneak in here uninvited? It was truly
shameless.
Suddenly, everyone began to regard Sherry with a sense of hostility.
Meanwhile, the apparently shameless Sherry took
another glass of red wine and downed it in one go. She could not be bothered to care about what
they thought of her. Queenie‘s opinion was the least of her concerns.
