Chapter 1196
Shannon went after her, stopped her, and nervously asked, “Where did John bring you? What
did you two do outside?”
Sherry pouted. “Shannon, why do you think I have to go out with him?”
Shannon’s gaze shifted. She widened her eyes and continued questioning, “Where did you two go?”
Sherry just wanted to sleep, so she simply said, “We attended a meeting at a restaurant.”
Shannon‘s gaze turned cold. “He brought you to a meeting?”
Sherry failed to understand why she was so mad. “Yeah. I was there just to hold his briefcase. What‘s
wrong with that?”
Shannon continued to glare at her. “How did he introduce you to the others?”
Sherry finally knew what Shannon was
trying to do. Shannon must be afraid that she wrongfully flaunted the title of Mrs. Stockton.
Sherry honestly said, “He said that I was the maid.”
Shannon‘s frosty expression eased up a little, but her
eyes remained widened. “Sherry, you‘d better not
step out of line. Know your place. If you dare to even think of John, Dad and Mom won‘t forgive you.”
“Hmph. Shannon, Shannon, do you really think I‘m afraid of them?” Sherry scoffed.
Shannon‘s expression changed as she was rendered speechless.
Sherry approached her
and said, “Shannon, I think you should keep an eye on your Johnny John instead of worrying about me
getting close to him.”
A sudden thought rushed into Sherry‘s mind. She continued, “Did you tell your Daddy and Mommy abo
ut the eight hundred million?”.
Shannon‘s eyes flickered. “That‘s your debt to John. They can’t do anything about it.”
“They can‘t do anything about it? Or do they not want to? Don‘t they know I can leave John if they give
him eight hundred million?” Sherry clicked her tongue. “Shannon, my dear, it seems like you are not as
important to them as you think.”
“At least, I‘m more important than you to them!” Shannon bawled. “Sherry, you are just a bitch from so
me village. Don‘t try to provoke me with your tricks. I want you away from John, or you will regret it!”
A bitch from some village?
There was nothing wrong with coming from a rural background, and she had no right to call her a bitch.
As Sherry glared at her coldly, Shannon walked past her, seemingly going back to her place.
Sherry curled her lips into a grin. “Shannon , shouldn‘t you thank the bitch from some rural village? If
that woman hadn‘t swapped me for you when we were born, you wouldn‘t be scolding me today.”
Shannon
froze. She turned around and saw Sherry grinning at her. Fortunately, she was able to recover her
composure and curled her lips into a smile. “That woman
that you are referring to is your mother. I have only one mother, and that‘s Janine Williams. She
told me many times that she only has one daughter–
and that‘s me!” Sherry pursed her lips in annoyance. Shannon cackled with laughter upon seeing Sherr
y‘s silence before she turned and left.

The night was chilly with the breeze whipping her hair around. Sherry‘s hands and legs somehow
felt cold. She watched Shannon walk away from
her sight with a self mocking grin. She could never beat Shannon when it came to their parents. If she
could choose, she would rather be born in a village as a normal person and have parents that loved her
their own, just like the girls that she used to play with back when she was young.
She would not have to be tortured by her uncle when she cried for her parents, and
she would not have to be jealous when that fake mother of hers loved others more than herself.
Maybe she had done something wrong in her past life, so she was punished without parents in
the present.
She sighed and sniffed as she walked towards the staff quarters.
After she left, a maid in uniform came out of the dark.
The maid headed to Julie‘s place after both Shannon and Sherry returned to their respective places.
Sherry took her time to return to the quarters.
