Chapter 1218 John flashed a smile that hardly reached his eyes and stated, “Sure.”
With that, he rose and walked out.
“John, it‘s already late, where are you going?”
Shannon did not receive an answer, the last thing she saw was John‘s distant figure departing.
He barely spared a look at her, he hardly had any intention of ever stopping.
Shannon froze.
After John walked into the courtyard, she swept her arms across the table and sent everything clattering against
the floor.
She beheld the mess she made and cursed out loud,” Sherry, you bitch!” 1
Celine was frightened by such a spectacle. She waited until it seemed like Shannon had calmed herself a little
before carefully advising , “Miss, the master must have been seduced by that witch already. You‘re still young and
so pretty, there‘s no reason you should subject yourself to this fate. I think you should take his offer and leave, the
money you get from the master should be enough to last you a lifetime of comfort.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCeline believed that this was the best thing Shannon could do for herself. As long as one had money, one had
nothing to fear, there was no reason Shannon should be bound to a man who did not love her.
Shannon immediately shot her a look.
Celine assumed that Shannon was going to take her advice, that was until she felt a teacup smashing against her
face.
There was a loud crash, it was a very heavy teacup. 1
“Ah!” Celine gasped from the pain and immediately covered her face.
Shannon glared at her grimly, “Celine, you‘re saying that I should give up the title of Mrs. Stockton to that bitch
Sherry?”
Celine hurriedly explained herself amidst sobs, “That‘s not what I meant, I only said it out of concern for you.”
“Hmph.” Shannon glared at her with contempt and said, “The only thing I want is for her to lead a miserable life.”
So long as she held the title of Mrs. Stockton, she would *** never let Sherry taste joy!
She sighed and slumped back into the couch. The bitch had told her that she would leave as soon as she settled the
debt of eight hundred million with John!
If she knew it would turn out like this, she should never have gone to Mason, let alone let Mason in!
She began to wonder, how did John know about her plots? She was convinced that she covered her tracks well and
nobody knew about Mason slipping in.
Besides, wasn‘t he supposed to be on a business trip? Why did he come back out of nowhere, and at such an
opportune moment to stumble into Sherry and Mason? How did she not know that he was returning home?
The more she thought about it, the more the entire situation seemed off to her.
Sherry was wretched, but she would not have resorted to such a roundabout plan if all she wanted was to get with
John.
Therefore, it was safe to eliminate the possibility that Sherry planned all this.
What was going on?
It was already dark when Sherry cleaned herself and walked outside.
Her legs were sore and weak, she took a deep breath and carried her tired feet, she wanted to head back to the
staff dormitory.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was when the two bodyguards posted by the
entrance stopped her from leaving. They were large and muscular, these were trained personnel.
She recognized them as the same pair of bodyguards who watched over her back when she was imprisoned here.
She glared at them weakly and obediently turned back to her room without needing to be prompted.
Was the bastard going to keep her locked up in this wretched place again?
She shuffled to the living room and lay on top of the dining table with a deep frown across her brows.
Shortly after that, her stomach began to growl with hunger, and that was when she heard movements outside the
door.
She turned to look.
It was Queenie and Hailey. Queen was leading the way, she seemed visibly upset.
