Chapter 1056 When Queenie saw Sherry ignore her, she snorted. “In any case, he‘ll never choose you!”
Just as she said those words , John, who was far away in another corner, stepped over. His slender figure passed
the group of young women directly and walked straight toward Sherry.
The large garden was instantly silent, and everyone‘s eyes widened as they followed his figure.
Soon, he stopped in front of Sherry with a smiling gaze. He said in a gentle voice, “It‘s cold on the ground, so don‘t
sit here. Go over there and play with them.”
Both his expression and his words were full of care and concern for her.
The garden was suddenly quiet, and many women cast jealous looks at Sherry.
Sherry, however, began to feel nervous. ‘There‘s no way this jerk really cares about me. What‘s he up to this
time?‘
Before she could make a sound, Queenie said anxiously,” John, she can just sit with me over here. You go about
your business. I‘ll keep an eye on her.”
It was as if she was afraid that John would choose Sherry as his first dance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn glanced at her, his gaze cold and sharp.
Immediately, Queenie was frightened and pursed her lips.
He looked at Sherry again, curling his lips. “Go on. Be
good.”
He emphasized the words “be good.” It was the tone he used when he was threatening her.
Sherry hesitated, then stood up and walked to the crowd.
As soon as she entered, she felt hostile intent coming from all directions. If their eyes were guns, she would have
been shot into Swiss cheese.
She stood stiffly and did not move.
The others looked at her secretly for a few moments and started to straighten their clothes while a few people
behind her whispered and muttered.
“Who the hell is she? Why did Master Stockton personally tell her to come over?”
Shannon, who was standing in the middle, said with a smirk, “I heard Ms. Stockton say that she used to work in a
nightclub.”
“Doesn‘t that make her a party girl? Does Master Stockton really want to have the first dance with her?”
The more they spoke, the more upset they were.
Shannon said, “Everyone has their own preferences.
Maybe she just so happens to be Master Stockton‘s type.”
“Hmph, this isn‘t a normal party. Master Stockton will be choosing his future wife. How can he pick this kind of lowly
woman as his wife?”
“Exactly. If Master Stockton really chooses her, he‘ll definitely be the laughing stock.”
“Hey, calm down a little,” Shannon said, “Madam Stockton invited all of us. Which one of us is inferior to that
woman?”
“Ms. Fowler, you‘ve already bagged a fiance like Master Brown. You won‘t understand our feelings.”
“Yeah, stop trying to persuade us. In any case, Master Stockton can choose anyone except for that woman. I won‘t
accept losing to someone like her.”
“Me too.”
Shannon sighed and stopped talking. However, her gaze when she looked at Sherry was also tinged with jealousy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry was some distance away and was oblivious to their chatter. She folded her arms across her chest and
looked at John.
Outside the crowd, he was standing together with Julie who seemed to be introducing him to some ladies. He held a
glass of wine while occasionally sweeping a glance over at Sherry.
Then, Julie walked away from his side.
The pleasant sound of a piano resounded across the venue.
The crowd around Sherry also regained their composure and looked toward John who walked in Sherry‘s direction.
His lips were curled up, and his handsome face was seductive.
Soon, he reached the crowd, but his feet did not stop. The faces of the women whom he walked past fell in
disappointment and darkened.
Everyone‘s eyes remained fixed on him as he walked straight in one direction.
