Chapter 1600

John stood unmoving.

His whole figure was engulfed in the darkness of the night, save for the shining gleam of his gold-rimmed glasses.He noted the frantic and terrified demeanor of Sherry but did not utter a word.

Sherry was deeply terrified of the man. He was more menacing than the devil himself. She wrapped her arms around her neckprotectively and whimpered, “I didn’t know your mother was tailing me. After you called me, | began to regret what | was doingand wanted to bring Caprice back... | never intended for anything to happen to your mother...”

She was curled up into a ball and had never felt as terrible as she did at this moment.John watched her silently.After a long time, he approached her.

Sherry shrunk away from him, but there was nowhere for her to go with the wall right behind her. She guarded her neck with herhands and stuck close to the wall, hoping she could somehow slip through it like a ghost.

John suddenly stopped when he realized how terrified Sherry was.Sherry seemed slightly eased when she noticed him stopping, but the same cautious look lingered in her eyes.John frowned and asked, “So, you're saying that it’s not your fault, is that it?”

If she had not taken Caprice in the first place, Madam Stockton would not have had to chase her down, and none of whathappened after would have gone down at all. Sherry realized this as well and knew that she had exhausted all excuses.

“Is it because I’m not good enough for you? Am | supposed to hold my tongue and just learn to deal with it when | see yousneaking around with the man you used to cheat on me with?” He could not suppress his emotions and trotted up to Sherry. Hebent over and grabbed her by her chin. “You just decided to up and leave with our daughter just because | lost your temper atyou once because of your actions?”

There was a sharp and angered look in his eyes when he roared from the depths of his soul, “Sherry, how could you be soheartless?! Did you have any idea how hard | tried to look for her in the years when you went missing? Do you know that |married you not only for Caprice but mainly because | wanted to marry you?

“| cared so much about you that | looked past what happened back then and help Mason, the man you dumped me for! | did itjust because you asked me to!

“And what did you ever do for me? Nine years ago, | cut off all ties with my family to be with you, and where did that get me? Youcheated on me and dumped me because | was too poor for you!

“Now that I’m willing to move past all the hurt and betrayal and focus on building our future together, you were going to takeCaprice away from me! And what about what happened to my mom?

“Is this how you treat me?!” He poured everything out in one go.

Sherry felt a tightness suffocating her chest as tears fell endlessly. She was choking back on her tears so badly that she couldnot even get a word out.

John saw her tears and felt overtaken by remorse, but it only lasted an instant. He steeled himself and said, “Look at you...What's with that look on your face? Are you going to use your tears to soften me?”

“I'm sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...” Sherry covered her face with shame. She did not want to use her tears against John. She didnot want to deceive him any further, but the tears would not stop. It was as if a dam had broke.

She continued to weep and repeated like a machine, “I’m sorry. | wasn’t trying to endanger your mom. It was an accident. I’msorry, I’m sorry | hurt you... You... Why don’t you just strangle me to death...”

She bawled her eyes out.

John frowned. After a while, Sherry was still crying and it began to annoy him.’ Enough!”Sherry covered her mouth. Her body was still twitching against her will. She could not make herself stop even if she wanted to.

John glared at her icily. “Now that you understand what you've done, you're going to stay here and repent. You'd better pray thatmy mother can wake up at one point. That’s the only way I’d ever let you out of here. If she doesn’t wake up, you can rot here forall | care!”

With that, he walked away without bothering to cast one last look at her.

Sherry was left all by herself in the solitude of the house. Her whimpers and cries

echoed in the empty house.

She cried for what seemed like ages until her tears dried up and she exhausted

herself mentally and physically. At last, she managed to calm down, her sobs turning to weak whimpers.

She balanced herself against the wall and stood up. She walked out of the living room, dragging her feet behind her. Then, shelooked at the gate.

She saw the same bodyguards that brought her to this place earlier today and the car they came here in was parked outside, butJohn’s car was nowhere to be seen. He must have left already.
