Chapter 1449

“Master Stockton, this is Ms. Fowler.”

Assuming that they did not know each other, Master

Carrel introduced the two of them. He turned to Sherry and said, “Ms. Fowler, this is Master Stockton of Glenchester.”“Oh, | know her. Sherry Fowler,” John said.

Things went awkwardly quiet again.

Master Carrel looked at him with surprise, together with the crowd and also Julie.

Under people’s curious and nervous gazes, John looked at Sherry and continued, “We’re old acquaintances.”

Sherry was left speechless for a moment, but she maintained her professional smile. “Master Stockton is right. We know eachother, but we're not that close.”

“Huh...” John scoffed.

Sherry looked away and averted his gaze.

Then, Carl’s bewitching face entered her sight with a smile. “Sister Sherry, | didn’t know you and MasterStockton are acquaintances. Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Sherry pursed her lips.

The frivolous guy must have already run multiple background checks regarding her and John. The reason he asked her in publicwas to help her divert attention.

Sherry said, “It was a long time ago. Master Stockton has always been the person at the top of the pyramid while | was anobody. | had a few meetings with him, but that’s all. Nothing is worth mentioning.”

“Oh... | see. But | suppose that is so. If Master Stockton had his eyes on you, you wouldn’t have come to us anyway.”Carl then looked at John.“Thankfully, the Sagers are slightly luckier to have you, my dear sister.”

John looked at Sherry. The smile on his face turned cold. ”

| did not expect you to be this capable, Sherry.”

Sherry feigned a professional smile. “You’re a busy man. It’s normal for you to be blinded by your work.”

John was silenced.

Even the crowd noticed the conversation was taking a strange turn.

Carl chuckled.

Ahem!

Master Carrel stroked his beard and swiftly shifted the topic with a fake smile. “It seems like everyone has a lot of things to talkabout. It’s freezing out here. Why don’t we go in and continue?”

He then led the group inside the hall.Carl and Sherry followed him inside, followed by the others. Only John remained standing on the spot. He was standing in theway of Sherry and Carl.

Sherry pursed her lips and stared ahead of her coldly, pretending to not see him. As she swiftly approached him, he put his footforward and tripped her.

Sherry almost fell if not for Carl holding her back. She turned around and glared at him out of grievance.John grinned ominously.

Sherry ground her teeth. She furiously lifted her leg and stomped on his foot!

Thud!

John’s expression froze and turned bitter.

Sherry curled her lips and then curled her arms around Carl's arm. “It’s freezing outside. Let’s go in.”Carl nodded. “Let’s go in.”

They walked in side by side, followed by the other guests.

Only John was left alone in the freezing entrance, together with Julie who was beside him.
