Chapter 988 After chatting for a while, the servants brought in breakfast.
The breakfast that was served contained all the specialties of Glenchester and was very sumptuous.
Simultaneously, the two of them looked at the table of food, so Sylvia missed the flash of shock and surprise in
Sherry‘s eyes.
“Come on, Syl. Let‘s eat.”
She grabbed Sylvia‘s hand and pulled her over to the table.
Sylvia was also starving as she followed her over. But, hadn‘t Sherry said that she had lost her appetite?
After a while, Sylvia‘s eyes swept over the empty plates on the table that Sherry had furiously wiped clean and felt
baffled by it.
“Burp.” Sherry let out a huge belch and giggled. “I don‘t know why but my appetite came back when I saw you,
Syl.”
Sylvia remained quiet.
John, who was eating next door, was left speechless. “Hmph.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter breakfast, Sylvia asked, “Sherry, why is John keeping you here?”
Sherry sat with her back against the sun. “I told you before, I cheated on him.”
“It doesn‘t mean he can keep you here for this long. It‘s against
the law. It‘s unlawful imprisonment!” Sylvia said as she frowned.
Sherry lowered her head. “Actually, I‘m staying here voluntarily.”
“Why?” Sylvia was baffled.
“He helped the Fowler family before. So in exchange, I have to do whatever he tells me to do.”
“I thought you cut ties with your family.”
“Yeah. That‘s what I thought too,” Sherry let out a sarcastic laugh to herself and said, “Maybe I‘m just cheap then.”
She could have turned her back on the Fowler family. After all, her parents resented her and treated her like
garbage. However, when they had knelt before her, begging for her help, and even proclaiming that they would
jump off a building if she refused, her emotions had taken over and she had agreed to help.
Sylvia sighed and softened her voice. “I see. Don‘t be like that. Tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you.”
“A lot has happened, and it‘s too much to be summarized in a few words. Don‘t worry. When I repay my debt, things
will be fine,” Sherry said.
Sylvia tightened her lips and stopped asking.
The man next door sat on the couch elegantly as he eavesdropped. The words put a grin on his face.
Repay her debt?
“Sherry, you‘ll never be able to satisfactorily repay me in this lifetime.”
It was then that the butler came in. He walked to his master respectfully and said, “Sir, Master Carter is here.”
John picked up his glasses and put a gentle smile on his face.
He got up, tidied his collar and said, “Tell him I‘ll be right there.”
“Yes, sir.”
Sylvia and Sherry were chatting when footsteps sounded from the door.
Sherry was sitting by the window when she saw two men walking towards the door and it shocked her.
She immediately said, “Sylvia, Odell is here.”
The look in Sylvia’s eyes turned cold.

“Okay.”
Sylvia got up and ran to the room that Sherry was pointing at.
The moment she locked the door, Odell and John came in.
The two men blocked the sun from the door with their towering figures.
Sherry got up and looked at them cautiously.
Odell scanned the place but did not see Sylvia.
John asked with a smile, “Sherry, where‘s Mrs. Carter?”
Sherry glanced at Odell and said in a small voice, “Syl said that she doesn‘t want to see him now.”
“I am not asking if she wants to see him, I am asking where she is,” said John as he maintained his smile.
