Ch. 1101..1105
Chapter 1101 “Compared to the ones | painted some time ago?” Odell pinched her cheek. “You are the painter. Shouldn’t you know better than me?”
Sylvia felt she had done better than her previous work, but she wanted to hear it from a third person’s view. “I don’t know. You tell
me.
Odell bent over and moved his handsome face closer. He looked at her with a bewitching smile and said, “Kiss me and I'll tell you.”
Sylvia raised a brow at him. “Odell, I’m being serious here.”
“lam too,” he said.
Sylvia was left speechless because he did not look serious at all.
She rolled her eyes at him. “If you don’t want to tell me, fine. I'll go show it to the President and Simon. They will tell me.”
She was clearly not in a lovey-dovey mood. She wanted to return to her painting, but his strong hand held the back of her head, so she was forced to turn back to him. Before she knew it, his handsome face was already in front of her.
“Mmm!”
He kissed her firmly yet delicately on the lips, only releasing her after he had his fun. He looked into her eyes deeply. “It’s better than your previous ones.”
It was even better than the painting that made her famous.
Sylvia swallowed her complaints and smiled. “Really?”
“Really,” he said firmly.
“Okay, I'll go become the judge.”
“Sounds great.”
Sylvia picked up her phone and texted Christopher.
The art competition was in three days.
After Sylvia informed Christopher of her decision, she received the agenda for the competition.
There was a meeting before the competition to finalize everyone’s job scope and duty on that particular day. Sylvia woke up early for the meeting and went downstairs in fresh new clothes.
When she was at the door, a cool-looking sports car was already waiting in front. In his handsome suit, the man leaned on his car lazily while waiting for her.
Sylvia went to the car and announced , “I’m ready. Let’s go.” He opened the door for her before he got into the driver’s seat himself. The car then drove off to Westchester Art Association’s Office.
Half an hour later, the car arrived in front of the art association office. There was still half an hour until the meeting, and other than Sylvia, many people were arriving. Sylvia ran into Lily when she got out of the car.
Lily wore a pair of high heels that complemented her svelte dress. She also had a jacket draping over her shoulders and wore a pair of glasses. Her outfit screamed high society, granting her a frosty demeanor that would keep people away.
Her secretary was behind her. Other than the familiar few who greeted her, the others tried to stay out of her way. When she spotted Sylvia , she lifted her chin arrogantly and wore a vague smile.
Sylvia looked away and pretended she did not see her.
To her surprise, Lily came over and called out to her, “Ms. Ross, are you here for the meeting as well?” Her condescending tone matched her haughty demeanor.
Sylvia answered out of annoyance, “Do you think I’m here for fun?”
Lily's expression froze for a moment before she curled her lips into a grin. “It seems like you have agreed to become the judge. I'll be looking forward to the work you display on the day itself.”
Chapter 1102 Sylvia could not stand her hypocrisy. She ignored Lily and wanted to leave, but it was then that the car window wound down behind her.
The man’s handsome face emerged.
“Sylvia, you forgot your bag.” He extended his arm, holding her bag out of the window for her.
Sylvia took her bag and said, “Why don’t you go back first? | don’t know how long the meeting will take.” Odell smiled. “I have a meeting with a partner around the area. Call me when you're done. I'll pick you up.” “Alright.” Sylvia then turned around with her bag and went inside.
Odell wound up the window and drove off in front of Lily.
Lily’s glamorous figure was stunned on the spot. Even the glasses on her face failed to conceal her disbelief. The man drove Sylvia here himself and wanted to pick her up after the meeting? Was that not the driver’s job? Her secretary went up to her and said in a small voice,“ Ms. Springsteen, it's almost time. Let’s go in.”
Lily glared at her. “I don’t need you to remind me.”
The secretary kept her mouth shut immediately. With a grunt, Lily then elegantly walked into the building.
The art competition was in three days, and even if Sylvia could paint something in time, Lily strongly believed that she could not produce a satisfactory piece of work. She looked forward to seeing Sylvia embarrass herself with her poor painting. She would see if Sylvia could continue smiling then!
The black sports car dashed on the road for ten minutes before it stopped in front of a cafe.
Indeed, he had a meeting with someone to talk about work-related stuff, but it had originally been somewhere else. He was the one who changed the location to the nearby cafe at the last minute.
He came out after parking the car.
Ding!
His phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID before answering it.
“What is it?”
Cliff said, “Sir, | just got news from Glenchester. Master Stockton is really marrying Shannon. Their wedding venue has been decorated for tomorrow.”
Odell furrowed his brows. “How’s Sherry doing?” “Ms. Fowler is still being kept at the Stocktons !. | heard that she’s behaving like usual as if the wedding doesn’t affect her at all.”
“Mm-hmm. Continue to keep an eye out.”
“Sir, should we help her?” “We can’t do anything.” A quick pause later, he added,” Unless she’s in danger, don’t do anything just yet.”
Sherry’s relationship with John was complicated, and it was not something an outsider like him could interfere with. Not even Sylvia could do anything.
While Sylvia was preparing for the art competition, it would be best to not let her know about this so that she could concentrate.
A day later, all kinds of guests thronged the entrance of Glenchester Grand Hotel early in the morning. Not only the locals, but even merchants and businessmen from other cities came all the way here to attend the wedding
Chapter 1103 They were all there to attend the wedding of the richest man in Glenchester, John Stockton.
The whole hotel was booked out for the event, and the hotel staff was prepared for this grand event.
Once the guests arrived, they mingled in groups and started chatting while waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. Julie and Madam Stockton soon arrived at the hotel.
As John’s mother, even if Madam Stockton disagreed with the wedding, she had to attend it. Getting out of the car with Julie’s help, she wore a dark green dress coupled with a fur shawl.
Julie kindly reminded her, “Be careful.”
Madam Stockton hummed a reply and said, “Julie , you don’t need to take care of me. Go on and serve the guests with Queenie.”
“Alright, Mother. Call me if you need me.”
Madam Stockton smiled at Julie's kind gesture. “Okay, | will.”
She then turned to her daughter. “Queenie , you'd better listen to Julie later. Don’t cause any trouble, and keep
your mouth shut about Shannon. Understand?”
Queenie pouted but agreed nevertheless. “Yeah. I’m not an idiot.”
Shannon would soon become her sister-in-law, and if she continued to badmouth Shannon in front of the public, it would only embarrass herself and her family.
Madam Stockton glared at her. “You'd better behave.”
Julie then said, “Mother, don’t worry. | will keep an eye
out.”
Madam Stockton nodded with a smile.
Julie and Queenie then went into the hotel.
Another white MPV arrived and stopped in front of the entrance.
Jannie and Matthew came out of the car.
Jannie’s dress was the same color as Madam Stockton’s, and she also had a shawl over her shoulder. Matthew wore a handsome suit.
Both of them were slightly surprised to find Madam Stockton outside. Matthew held Jannie’s hand and walked over to Madam Stockton to greet her. He smiled and acknowledged her, “ Madam Stockton, you just arrived?”
Madam Stockton responded with a frosty look. She
glanced at them and went inside without talking to them.
Matthew's smile froze.
Jannie grunted. “What’s with that old lady? It was John who wants to marry Shannon! And she made it look like we forced her son to marry our daughter!”
“Stop it. Keep it down,” Matthew said, “She has the right to act that way. After all, it’s our honor that Shannon can even marry John.”
“That’s because John loves Shannon! Even if that hag is unhappy with this wedding, she shouldn’t use that attitude on us! If she treats us this poorly, how will she treat Shannon in the future?”
Matthew sighed. “Just stop. She might be John’s mother, but John is the one in charge of the family. No matter how much she dislikes Shannon, Shannon is already John’s wife—it’s a fact. | believe she will restrain herself in front of John, and she won't do anything to Shannon.”
Jannie sighed a breath of relief. “I guess you're right. When she’s older, | guess Shannon will be the one in charge then.” Jannie’s anger faded upon realizing that Shannon might be the one who would be in charge of the Stocktons in the future. She curled her arm around Matthew’s and wore a proud look. “I know Shannon is a capable girl. After all, she won
John’s heart and married him!”
Sherry had dated John for a while back then, but they did not get married in the end. It was Shannon, her daughter, that was more capable than Sherry.
Matthew smiled and echoed, “Yeah, our baby girl sure is capable.”
While speaking about Sherry, Matthew finally remembered her existence. “It has been more than a year, and we still haven’t seen Sherry anywhere. What are the private investigators doing? Have they got any clue about her whereabouts?”
Jannie wore a frosty look in response to the topic. “No. Maybe she’s in some other city doing god-knows-what.”
Matthew might not like Sherry as well, but he was a proud man. If he found out about Sherry being kept at the Stocktons for more than a year as John’s secret lover, he would never have agreed to let Shannon marry John.

Chapter 1104 Meanwhile at the Stocktons’ residence, the gate to Sherry's front yard finally opened Today was John and Shannon's wedding and also the daySherry would be free.
She had woken up at six in the morning and had been waiting in front of the gate since then.
She walked out of the front yard
The moment she stepped outside, she felt a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders.
Just when she was about to run and enjoy her regained freedom, a white sports car came over and came to a halt in front other. Sherry was forced to a stop
The driver came out and opened the rear door to reveal a slender figure that emergedirom the car.
The man was dressed in a white suit that complemented his fair complexion
His handsome face was on display without his usual glasses.
They both exchanged stares.
He smiled at her like a charming prince, stunning her for a few seconds.
She had seen him in a white shirt before but a white suit was a first.
Was it his wedding attire? Her chest tightened a little.
She clenched her fists and forced a smile at him.
"Master Stockton, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at your wedding?" John smiled. "I'm here to give you a ride." Sherry was taken aback.
She maintained her smile and said, "You're giving me a ride to go out?"
John pointed inside the car without answeringher question.
"Get in."
However, Sherry refused to move.
John narrowed his eyes.
"You have two options now: go back inside, or get in the car."
Sherry swapped her worried look witha flattering smile and got into the car right away. He then closed the door for her.
Maybe because it was his wedding day, the car was decorated with roses.
The whole interior of the car was filled with the fragrance of the flowers.
It was certainly a pleasant scent that one would enjoy.
Sherry sniffed around as John came in from the other side.
He sat beside her and said to the driver, "Let's go."
The driver drove through the main avenue of the estate and reachedthe front gate.
Automatically, the security guard opened the gate and let the car through.
The car soon joined the traffic on the freeway.
Sherry frowned
The car showed no signs of stopping even afterit left the estate.
She asked out of curiosity,” John, where are you taking me?"
Was he not giving her a ride?
John smiled
“Take a guess.” "Im not guessing, you jerk!" Sherry grabbed his collar and asked, "Where are you taking me?" "Why so serious?" John chuckled.
He was not mad at all
Instead, he held her hand and pried them off his collar.
After tidying his collar and the white gloves he wore for the wedding, he said, "Today is my big day, and you've lived with me for morethan a year now. want you to attend the wedding.
At least, stay for lunch."
Sherry was shocked
"You're bringing me to your wedding?" He took his white gloves off, tossed them aside, and sat further awayfrom Sherry as though he resented her.
