Chapter 1398
John’s eyes immediately sharpened as he looked out the window toward the park’s entrance.
He immediately identified a young woman dressed in a red coat and black leather boots. Her hair
donned in a curly fashion, an exact fit of the description Sherry provided. She was walking toward the
entrance of the park from the other side of the parking lot.
From this angle, John could not make out her face due to the hair covering her side profile.
However, he was sure that the figure resembled Sherry’s.
“The big liar!” Caprice suddenly sprang out of her seat and gestured at the lady with her chubby
fingers, identifying her as the liar.
Prompted by this, John immediately sent a message to Peter, “She’s here, the one in the red coat.”
As soon as the message was sent, dozens of large and fit bodyguards poured out of nowhere into the
parking lot.
In an instant, they had all rushed to Sherry’s side and surrounded her, leaving no room for exit.
Caprice seemed completely taken unaware by this sudden. operation. Even her finger that was
gesturing at the red lady had gone limp.
John noticed this and hugged her while reassuring her. Caprice, don’t worry. These are the good guys
working for Daddy. They are going to help us catch the liar.”
Caprice seemed consoled by this.
Shortly after that, John’s phone rang.
It was Peter, who was with the crew of bodyguards as well.
John answered the call and put the phone to his ear with a prideful smile, “Tie her up and take her
away.”
“Sir…” Peter hesitated. “I don’t think that is Miss Sherry.”
The smile on John’s mouth vanished immediately. “What did you say? Come again?”
“I don’t think… I don’t think she’s Miss Sherry.”
John grimaced.
He promptly hung up and put the phone away. He then got out of the car with Caprice.
He marched toward the park entrance.
When Peter and a group of bodyguards saw him approaching, they quickly got out of his way.
The young lady was being held down by two bodyguards and was protesting amid screams and
shouts, completely furious. “Who are you people and what are you doing to me? You better let me go
right now or else I’ll call the police!”
Her screams were deafening.
Amid her cries, she sensed John’s approach and turned to look up at him.
John was greeted by the sight of a woman who wore heavy makeup.
His eyes gleamed with eyes.
Caprice, who was in his arms murmured, “She’s not the liar.”
The sharpness in John’s eyes dissipated when he heard Caprice’s warm and gentle voice.
After a moment, he smiled at the woman they may have wrongfully captured and asked, “Did Sherry
send you here? Where is she now?”
The lady’s eyes flashed with rage as she said, “What are you talking about? I don’t know any Sherry.”
“Tell me where she is and I’ll pay you ten thousand dollars for the information. Otherwise-” His voice
dragged off for a moment before he continued icily, “I’ll have someone banish you from the city. You’ll
never get to come back again.”
This warning seemed to work as the lady immediately grew frantic.
Surrounded by so many people, she was already
frightened enough before John’s arrival. Now that John had threatened her, she no longer dared to
conjure lies and immediately owned up to everything. “A young lady named Fowler contacted me and
told me she’d pay me two thousand bucks if I’d walk through this park in this dress at an appointed
time. She didn’t tell me anything else, not even a word on why we were doing this. I have no idea
where she is now!”
John squinted with suspicion. “You were hired by her?” The lady hurriedly answered, “Yes, that’s right! I
work at the club and this Miss Fowler suddenly came up to me at the end of my shift and briefed me on
what I needed to do. She gave me two thousand dollars on the spot and told me that if I followed
through, she’d give me another two thousand. Naturally, I did as I was told.”
“Did you come with her?”
“No, I took a taxi by myself. She told me to be here at nine -thirty,” she said as she reached for her
phone and opened her chat logs with Sherry as evidence. “Look, I was talking with her just now.”
John looked at the phone.
Their exchange had taken place only several minutes ago. It was Sherry who texted her first, “You can
head over
there now. Just walk into the park through the main entrance.”
“That’s all I need to do? Is there anything else?”
“Yeah, just find someplace nice to sit and hang around. Make sure you puff up your hair to the sides so
it’s not easy to make out your side profile.”
“Miss Sherry, why are you asking me to do something so bizarre? Are you sure it’s not going to be
dangerous?” “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”
