Chapter 1728

John frowned. He helped Sherry wipe off a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead and tried to comfort her.

“Don’t be scared, they’re gone now and they’re never going to come back.”

Sherry was about to nod reactively but quickly caught herself. She frowned and turned to John with an air of

indignation. “When did I say I was scared? I just said that my hands are numb after slapping him.”

John smiled. “Yeah, I know.”

He gently caressed her still-swollen face. “Come on, let’s head up there first.”

Sherry took several steps before a sudden thought came to her. She suddenly cried out exasperatedly, “Why did we

even let them go? I should’ve called the police!”

They had revealed that it was Aiden who employed them. If she had the police arrest them, they would have

concrete evidence and could press charges against Aiden!

If she had done so, she would have been able to exact her revenge on Aiden and also chase him out of Sager

Corporation for Lina and Carl.

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted not having done so. Soon, she directed her anger toward

John.

He was the one who ordered Jason and Nelson to let them go!

John merely chuckled as if it did not concern him.

He smiled bewitchingly and was as pompous as usual.

He suddenly stated, “I already told Jason to call the police, they should arrive soon.”

Sherry was puzzled by this. “What’s the use of calling the police now that those thugs are already gone?”

“They have eyes on the street. Those thugs can only hide for a day at most before they get caught,” John informed

calmly, “If things go well, I’d wager the police will have them all arrested by tomorrow morning. After they give

their confession, the police will have a cause to arrest Aiden immediately after that.”

Upon bringing this up, he revealed a cunning smile and asked, “Tell me, would you rather the police arrest Aiden at

his house tonight, or would you prefer that they storm Sager Corporation tomorrow morning and have him arrested

in front of everyone?”

Sherry was taken aback by this idea.

“Besides, you’ve given those two thugs quite a heavy slap. If the police were to arrest them tonight, the police

might think that it’s a common fight and drop it at that. It will be better to wait till tomorrow morning after the

swelling has gone down.”

With that, he suddenly took Sherry’s hand again and asked with a warm tint of concern in his voice, “Why are your

hands shaking again? Are you feeling cold?”

Sherry answered reluctantly, “Well…it’s a little cold I guess.”

It was not only her hands that were shaking, but her entire body was also shivering and even her hair was standing

on its end.

John seemed concerned and carefully pulled her into his arms.

Sherry was staring at the space in front of her and seemed completely out of it. She barely noticed that John was

holding her.

Her mind was replaying what John had told her.

In such a period, he managed to devise such a well-thought-out and brutally effective plan to the most minute

detail.

It was no surprise that this was the man who ascended the ranks rapidly and became the richest man in

Glanchester in just a matter of years.

She felt a strange sense of sympathy for whoever crossed paths with him in the past.

Ding!

The elevator had arrived.

Sherry was immediately pulled out of her state of trance as she quickly noticed that John’s arms were wrapped

around her tightly.

Her immediate reaction was to shoot a murderous glare at him the way she always did. Before she could bring

herself to do so, she considered how he had come to her rescue and the plan he had formulated to help her. With

that, the hostility in her eyes subsided.

She snarled dryly. “Let go of me.”

John looked at her tenderly and told her, “Your leg is hurt.”

“I can walk well enough, I don’t need your help.”

John continued holding on to her and tried to negotiate with her. “I’ll let go after you get home.”

Sherry grimaced and held her silence.

John smiled subtly, proud of his victory.

Inside the house, Aunt Wanda was looking after Caprice.

After Sherry was ushered into the house by John. Caprice crawled out of Aunt Wanda’s arms and ran toward her

mother on her short and stubby legs.

“Daddy! Mommy!”

Sherry tapped John urgently on the shoulders.

John took the hint and let her go.
