Chapter 1410
Sherry was hiding in the corner with a pillar
standing in the way.
However, for fear of being discovered, she took out her cell phone from her pocket
and pretended to be a passerby making a call.
On the other side, Caprice did not see her face and quickly withdrew her eyes. She turned
her head to look at her father, who was following her and raised her two little arms toward him.
John instantly bent down and picked her up.
After sitting firmly in his arms, the little girl raised her hand to point at Sherry behind the pillar. “Daddy, s
omeone’s making a phone call there.”
John also looked over.
Sherry, who was pretending to be on the phone, was speechless.
Did the girl notice her?
Just as she was so nervous that her heart was about to
pop out, she heard John’s voice.” Daddy saw her too.”
Then, she heard the sound of him walking up the steps.
Soon, the sound of footsteps disappeared. They must have gone inside.
Sherry cautiously looked back and did not see their figures. She sighed in relief.
“Are you a staff member of Stockton Tower? I’ve never seen you before.”
“What are you sneaking around here for?”
Suddenly, two security guards came up to her, holding electric batons in their hands. They looked fierce
and severe.
Sherry quickly smiled and explained, “I’m not an employee here.”
The guard asked, “Then, what are you doing here?”
Sherry smiled apologetically. “I’m just a passerby.”
“A passerby? I think you’re up to no good!”
The two guards raised their electric batons at her.
Sherry did not dare to stand there anymore and turned to run.
Unexpectedly, the two guards ran after her and shouted at her, “Stop right there!”
“She’s definitely up to no good. Catch her!”
Sherry shouted, “Sir, I’m a good person. I really am just a passerby!” 1
She screamed while running faster, fleeing like her life depended on it.
Meanwhile, in the office on the top floor, John stood in front of the window wall and admired
her wretched figure running away while pleasantly sipping tea. 1
Thump, thump, thump.
Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps was heard.
John looked over and saw Caprice, who walked in front of him and smiled at her. “What’s wrong, Capri
ce? Are the toys not fun?”
Caprice held a new toy in her hand. She raised her face and looked at him with watery eyes. Daddy, I
wanna play with you.”
John smiled. “Okay, give me a moment.”
“Kay.”
John put down the teacup on the table.
At the
same time, the office door was pushed open, and Peter walked in with a stack of documents. “Mr. Stock
“Okay, leave them on the desk.” John went to Caprice and sat on the ground with her in his

arms, playing with the small toys with her.
Peter did not find the scene
strange since he had seen it before, but he said, “Sir, these documents are rather urgent. The Departme
John frowned. “I get it. I’ll sign them later.
You can go out.‘
>>
“Yes, sir.” Peter did not say anything else and turned to go out.
Just as he left, Caprice withdrew her small hand and stopped moving.
John smiled and stroked her head, asking, Why don’t you want to play anymore?”
“I don’t want to play.” She stuffed her hands into her jacket pockets. This was her usual method of acting
Although the girl’s character was soft and clingy, she was also incredibly stubborn.
