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 commanded 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen 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 chin 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 Julie’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 serving 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 well. 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof 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 asked her to come, we‘d 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.
