Chapter 1081

Master Odell's Secret Ex-wife by Eggsoup Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081 The maid put the tray in front of Sherry and muttered," Hurry up and eat. Don't let anyone find out." Sherryquickly lifted the lid of the teapot and teacup.

In the teapot were two large and juicy drumsticks , and the teacup was filled with freshly squeezed orange juice.

"Baby, | loveyou to death!” Sherry threw a wink to the maid and picked up the drumstick to gnaw on it. The spicy drumstick and the sweet and sour orange juice were simply heavenly to her taste buds. However, just as she was indulging in the food, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Sherry froze. "Hide the drumstick. I'll go check," the maid said warily and ran to the door. Sherry continued to bite into the drumstick. John had gone out on a business trip, and the task of the bodyguards outside the door was to watch her so she did not leave the courtyard. Thus, even if they saw her secretly eating a drumstick, they would not go so far as to snitch on John. As soon as she had that thought, the door suddenly opened from the outside. The maid was standing behind the door, and Sherry yelled in fright, "Watch out! Get away!" The maid hurriedly stepped back. The door slammed into the wall and did not hit her. Sherry was just about to sigh in relief when a familiar voice sounded outside the door. "Sherry? What are you doing here?!" Looking at Shannon standing right in front of the door, Sherry's hand holding the drumstick froze in mid-air. At that moment, Julie was being helped up from the ground by two bodyguards. The little shuttle car which had fallen on its side was also being propped up by some bodyguards. Sherry took a glance and more or less guessed what was happening.

Shannon and Julie were most likely sitting in the shuttle car and passing by this courtyard when the car accidentally fell over, hitting the people inside and also knocking the door open. However, the shuttle car was usually fine. Why did it coincidentally fall right in front of the door here? "Sherry, I'm talking to you. Why are you here?" Shannon stepped in and glared at Sherry, but her voice was full of grievance as if she was being bullied. Sherry’s lips twitched. Then, she sat back down and bit into the drumstick while saying, "Didn't that sh*tty John tell you?" "How could you call Master Stockton that? Also, what didn’t he tell me?" "He didn’t tell you that he locked me up in here." Sherry picked up the teacup and took a large sip of orange juice. Shannon's face turned ashen. At that moment, Julie also walked in from the door. "Ms. Shannon, let's go out first. John won't be happy if he knows we came in." Shannon's eyes instantly reddened. She held back her tears and said politely to Julie, "Ms. Julie, can you let me have a few words with my sister alone? Don’t worry, | won't tell Master Stockton that we saw her." Julie's expression flickered slightly. "All right." Then, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard. The bodyguards were only responsible for keeping Sherry from going out and did not care about anything else. They all stood outside the door without moving. Soon, Shannon walked in front of Sherry. The maid saw the situation and wanted to come over, but Sherry shot her a look, and she withdrew with a puffing face. Shannon sized Sherry up. She no longer kept up pretenses and asked with a cold and blunt face, "Why are you here?" Sherry took a bite of the drumstick. "If you can be here, why can’t |?" Shannon's expression showed disgust. Thinking of the party where she saw Sherry, she asked again, "Have you been here all this time?" "Yep, I've been here for about a year." Shannon choked, and her expression could not help but twist. Sherry simply ate the drumstick with gusto. Her mouth and hands were covered with oil stains. Shannon was disgusted and furious. "Can you stop eating for one second?" "Nope." Sherry took another large bite.

Chapter 1082 Shannon's face turned ashen again. After a long time, she raised herchin and looked at Sherry with cold contempt and disdain.

"| thought you just didn't want to go home. | didn't expect you to act so lowly. You ranhere to be Master Stockton's lover?" If Sherry and John got back together, John would not choose another wife. Thus, Sherry was only here as his lover. Sherry took a sip of orange juice and ignored her. Shannon glared at her. "Sherry Fowler, I'm about to get married to Master Stockton soon. If you don't want people to know that you interfered in your sister's marriage, get the hell out of here and stop staying here!" "You should say that to John, not me." Sherry glanced at the bodyguards outside the door. "See those bodyguards? John stationed them here to watch me." Shannon was shocked. "You mean, you're being held here by Master Stockton?" "Yep. If you don't believe me, just ask those bodyguards or Julie. She knows too." Shannon glared at her coldly. Sherry started to gnaw on the second drumstick. The air was quiet for a while. Seeing that Sherry's expression was still the same as before, Shannon snorted coldly, turned around, and soon walked out of the courtyard. From afar, Sherry watched Shannon walk up to Julie, and then they left together in the shuttle car. The maid hurriedly went up to Sherry and asked, "Who's that woman? Why did she call you her sister? Also, why is she together with Ms. Julie?’ but we're not related by blood. She's the wife that John chose not long ago." The maid's eyes widened in shock. "...Does Master Stockton

he's Shannon Fowler, my sister,

not know that she's your sister?" "He knows." The maid frowned. "He knows, but he still chose her?" Sherry took a gulp of juice. "It's because he's despicable." The maid was speechless. Meanwhile, the car drove toward the main gate. In the car, Shannon's face was pale, and her eyes were red. Her head was half-lowered as she sat beside Julie. Julie said apologetically, "Ms. Shannon, I'm sorry. | didn't mean to hide it from you, but John instructed everyone not to let others know that she was here, so | couldn't tell you." "It's not your fault." Shannon choked a little. Julie sighed. "Ms. Sherry isn't at fault either. John was the one who locked her up here. Without his order, none of us can let her go. Not even Mom can change his mind." Shannon was silent. IL TU Julie hesitated and asked, "Ms. Shannon ... What do

you plan to do next?" "My mind is a mess right now. | don't know." The car stopped in front of the main gate. Julie got out of the car and

said in a kind voice, "Ms. Shannon , you should go home first and get some rest." "Okay." Shannon got into her own car. Julie waited for her to leave before she turned around and went back into the shuttle car. The look on her face also suddenly turned cold. Not long after, her phone rang. Seeing that it was from Madam Stockton, she immediately put on a respectful smile and brought the phone to her ear. On

the phone, Madam Stockton asked in a cold voice," Has she left?"

Chapter 1083 Julie replied, "I just sent her off." "Did she seeSherry?" "Ye: angry, and she even called Sherry by her full name.

‘What was her reaction?" "Her first reaction was very

Then, she went to the courtyard and talked alone to Sherry for a while. | don't knowwhat they said, but she had a sad face when she came

out." "She knows that it's John who locked Sherry up, right?" "Yes." Madam Stockton sneered. "She found out that her sister is being locked up in her fiance’s house, but she’s only feeling sorry for herself. If she has any sense of family honor and self-respect, she won't want to marry John anymore." Julie smiled. "You're right." "It's all thanks to you having this great idea. You've worked hard today. Queenie and | will come back now, and the driver will take you out shopping later. You can buy whatever you want. Don’t hold back on my account." Julie hurriedly said, "Mom, | just want to share your burden. You don’t have to be so polite to me." Madam Stockton laughed. "I know how thoughtful you are, but you've also been bored at home alone for a long time. It's time for you to go out and get some air." Julie smiled and said, "Okay. Thank you, Mom." The phone hung up. When Julie raised her head again, her face returned to its cold expression. ‘| hope that Shannon will have self- awareness and stop thinking about John. ‘This man isn't someone that a small family like the Fowlers can dream of having.’ In the Fowler residence. After Shannon came back, she told her family about meeting Sherry at the Stockton residence. Janine was stunned. "She's being locked up by Master Stockton? It’s no wonder we saw her at the party last time. It's because she was there the entire time." Shannon's eyes reddened. "Mom, Master Stockton seems to still have interest in her. |..." When Janine saw that Shannon was about to cry, she quickly said, "Don’t be sad, Shannon. Although Master Stockton is the most excellent bachelor in Glanchester, Mason isn't bad either. Why don’t | tell your dad to go to the Brown family and ask them to let you two continue to be together?" "But Mason has always been lukewarm to me. | don’t think that he likes me. He's only with me because of his parents’ orders." Shannon rubbed her eyes and added," I’ve met with Master Stockton several times during this period, and he’s nothing like Mason. He's always considerate and gentle to me. He'll even use his handkerchief to wipe the corners of my mouth." Her face flushed as she said that. Janine could tell at a glance that Shannon had feelings for John. However, John and Sherry... John was the richest person in Glanchester City, so his means and abilities must not be ordinary. 1 Janine was afraid of hurting Shannon by being blunt, so she said tactfully, "Shannon, maybe Master Stockton may not be a good match for you." "But | seem to like him now. | also think that he likes me. "Tears fell from Shannon's eyes as she spoke. Janine frowned. "But he already locked up Sherry in his home. Although your father and | don't like Sherry, she's still your sister. If other people were to hear about this, they'd point fingers and talk about our family. Your father and | don’t mind, but you're still young. | don’t want you to become the subject of jokes." Shannon wiped her tears and looked at Janine. "Mon, if no one knows that she was locked up by Master Stockton for a year, and if he breaks it off with Sherry after we get married, no one would talk about us then, right?" Janine froze and said, "If no one knows about it, and he can break it off with Sherry, then no one would talk about you." Tm just afraid that he won't break it off with Sherry.’ "| think that he’s a good man. If we marry, he'll be devoted to me. Besides..." Shannon pursed her lips." When | saw Sherry today, | felt that she’s also quite unhappy in the Stockton residence. She should also want to leave that place very much. If! get married to Master Stockton , he won't continue to keep her at home. He'll release her." Janine's expression flickered, "You silly girl. You're still thinking about your sister at a time like this?" "She’s my sister, after all. | have to think about her." Janine sighed. "Silly girl."

Chapter 1084 Night fell. At the Stockton family villa. The maid brought dinner to Sherry on time. Itwas oatmeal, some toast, and pickles.

Although it was plain and shabby, it was better than no food.

Sherry ate until not a single crumb was left andfinished everything. Then, she continued to embroider. Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps outside. It was accompanied by the sound of bells. Soon, Queenie walked in. She wore a fairy-like pink dress. There was a necklace full of diamonds around her neck, and several pure gold bell earrings and bracelets on her ears and hands. In addition, she also wore two glittering gold hairpins on her head. Each of those items was exquisite, but when so many were worn at once on Queenie’s body, Sherry felt like it looked incredibly gaudy. However, Queenie acted like she was flaunting. "Pfft." Sherry really wanted to laugh. Queenie instantly glared at her. "Sherry Fowler, what are you laughing at?" "I'm laughing at you." Queenie continued to glower. "Why are you laughing at me?" "Because you're pretty." Queenie's expression instantly changed. Sherry added, "You're as pretty as a butterfly." A butterfly? Who would use butterflies as praise? Queenie’s expression that had just softened instantly flushed red. "You're the butterfly! No... With your looks, you're clearly just a skinny little moth!" Sherry sighed with a smile. "Yes, I'm about to starve to death. Could you go to the kitchen and get some delicious food for me so | can become a butterfly instead?" Queenie snorted a laugh. "In your dreams. You should just starve to death. That way, | won't be annoyed when | see you!" "Then why did you come all the way here to see me now? "Sherry looked puzzled. "Are you a masochist?" "Who's here to see you? | came here to blind your eyes with my beauty!" Queenie raised her chin and walked up to Sherry. She first raised her hand to shake the bell bracelet on her wrist, and then lifted the diamond necklace around her neck. Sherry simply stared at her. Queenie continued to show off, not noticing Sherry's somewhat speechless expression. Then, she said smugly, "See? These are all the new accessories | bought when | went shopping tonight. They're all from the latest limited- edition collections." Sherry’s lips twitched. "Tsk, they're really nice." Queenie's expression changed. "Of course, they're nice. Why did you click your tongue as well?" Sherry said, "It was an exclamation." Queenie did not believe her and continued to glare. Sherry looked at the unfinished embroidery in her hand and asked, "Ms. Stockton, are you done showing off?" Queenie’s eyes flashed. "Who wants to show off to a woman like you who hangs out in nightclubs ? I’m just showing you that the likes of you aren't worthy of climbing up the social ladder with my family." Sherry smiled and said, "Oh, okay." Queenie instantly remembered that Sherry was only here because she was locked up by John. Her eyes flashed, and she said, "That applies to your sister as well." "Then you should tell her that instead. There’s no point in telling me." "But | want to tell you! What are you going to do about it? Sherry was speechless and lowered her head to continue

embroidering Queenie yelled, "Hey, Sherry Fowler. I’m talking to you!"

Chapter 1085 Sherry threaded the needle through the cloth, ignoring Queenie.

"Sherry Fowler, are you deaf?" Queenie yelled. Her voice was so shrill that it ran in Sherry's ears.

Sherry immediately used her finger to pick her ear. Queenie was about to charge at Sherry in anger, but atthat moment, Julie hurriedly walked in from the door. "Queenie, what are you doing here?” She hurriedly pulled Queenie and said in a pleasant voice, "Ms. Fowler is busy. Let's not disturb her here. It's getting late now, so go back and rest." Queenie was still angry with Sherry and shook Julie's hand off, rushing to Sherry's side. However, before she could raise her hand, she saw the pattern that Sherry was embroidering. The pattern was crooked, and the lines of the embroidery were also a mess. Queenie instantly burst into laughter. "Hahaha! What's that thing you're embroidering?" "A butterflySherry responded without changing her expression. Queenie's throat choked. Sherry held up the embroidery again and pointed to the picture , saying, "Look, it's so colorful that it's about to blind me with its beauty.""... Sherry Fowler! Do you want to get beaten up?!" Queenie's face was red with anger, and her eyes were round and wide. Sherry raised the needle in her hand and pointed it at Queenie, laughing. "Why don't you try?" Queenie instantly took a step back. Julie tugged her again. "Queenie, Ms. Fowler is just joking with you. Let's go and stop bothering her." Queenie was still furious. "Just you wait, Sherry!" After shouting that at Sherry, Queenie turned around and walked out. Julie did not rush to follow, but walked up to Sherry and said with a smile, "Ms. Fowler, Queenie has always been straightforward and doesn't pretend to fake how she feels about other people. She doesn't have any malice in her heart.

Don't mind her." "Of course, | won't bicker with a fool." Sherry smiled at Julie and said, "You don't have to specifically remind me that she

hates me." Julie's expression instantly froze, and she said, "You've misunderstood me, Ms. Fowler. That's not what | meant." "You don't need to explain it to me. | don't care whether that was what you meant or not." 'In any case, I'll leave immediately after John gets married. From then on, I'll never come back to Glanchester again, let alone have anything to do with the Stockton family.’ After saying that, Sherry lowered her head and continued to embroider, not looking at Julie again. Julie's expression shifted, and she turned and headed out. Queenie was right outside the door and had not left yet. When she saw Julie come out, she grumbled, "Julie, why are you still caring for someone like her?" Julie smiled. "She's still John's sweetheart." "John doesn't like her at all." Julie's eyes flickered, and she asked, "How do you know that he doesn't like her?" "If he really likes her, why would he marry someone else? He must just be playing with her." Queenie was still angry. "Forget it, let's not talk about her. | get annoyed at the thought of her." Then, she twirled in front of Julie and asked, "Do you think | look good in this?" Julie smiled and said, "Of course, you do. Everything you're wearing is from a limited-edition collection, and it matches your temperament very well. You look really good." Queenie's eyes lit up. "Really?" "Of course. Why would | lie to you?" She smiled as her displeasure at being snubbed by Sherry disappeared. She scoffed and said, "| knew it. Sherry is just jealous of me and deliberately called me a butterfly." Julie's eyes dimmed and flashed with a hint of mockery. However, it was only for an instant. She returned to her gentle and smiling appearance, saying, "Ms. Fowler is very skilled in belittling others. Don't mind what she says.
