Chapter 1219 If it wasn‘t for Hailey who was trailing closely behind Queenie, Sherry would have presumed that she
was here to give her a hard tinie.
Upon entering, Queenie eyed her up and down with a judgmental look in her eyes.
Sherry leaned back against the chair and greeted her lazily, “Hey.”
Queenie shot her a look, “Sherry, what‘s your deal? Why did you meet up privately with Mason out of nowhere?”
Sherry answered, “It wasn‘t me who arranged the meeting with him.”
Queenie was doubtful, “Then how do you explain my brother getting so angry? He... he‘s going to keep you
imprisoned here again.”
“He came to give me money.”
“Huh?” Queenie proceeded to sit next to Sherry. “Just tell me what exactly is going on.” |
Hailey approached and set a platter of food on the table, it was a sizeable portion.
Sherry was so hungry that she immediately grabbed a spoon and gobbled several spoonfuls before she finally
turned her attention back to Queenie, “There was some financial crisis with the Browns and the Fowlers more than
a year ago, that was when I ended up approaching your brother for help and got him to invest about a billion into
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe family‘s projects.” “I know about that, what happened after that?”
“His investment only saw a return of two hundred million over the last year, that was when he claimed that I still
owed him a debt of eight hundred million and that I had to slave away for him until I paid off the debt.”
Queenie was confused by this, “...It‘s the Browns and the Fowlers who owe him the money. Besides, investing and
taking a loan are quite different things.”
She seemed rather at a loss of what to make of this.
Sherry only groaned weakly in response to this, “Well, your brother made his call and there‘s not much I can do.”
Queenie asked, “So Mason came to see you today to give you the remaining eight hundred million?”
Sherry muttered, “Yeah.”.
“Then why is my brother so angry?”
“He‘s a psycho.”
Queenie glared at her, “Sherry, if you insult my brother in front of me again, I‘m not going to bring you food
anymore in the future.”
Sherry swallowed another bite and stayed silent.
That was when Hailey suddenly spoke up, “Miss, it‘s a pretty straightforward matter at the end of the day. The
young master still has feelings for Sherry and is using the money as an excuse to trap her. He must have been
enraged when he found that Master Brown wanted to take Sherry away from his clutches by clearing the debt for
her.”
Sherry froze for a brief moment, then she regained her composure and continued eating. Queenie suddenly
gasped, “Oh, I hadn‘t considered that possibility.”
She turned to Sherry again, “Sherry, what‘s going on between you and my brother? Sure, you may have gone to
him and asked for financial assistance to bail out the Browns and the Fowlers, but that‘s not enough reason for him
to keep you locked up inside our house and continue keeping you prisoner even after he got married! Besides, why
would he marry your sister if he was so into you?” Sherry buried her head in the platter of food and continued
gobbling away. Queenie knew there was something more than this, she raised her voice and interrogated Sherry,
“Did something happen between you and my brother in the past? Did you do anything to betray his trust back when
the two of you were together?”
Sherry ate with such ferocity. (1) Queenie was getting impatient, she immediately snatched the platter away from
Sherry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe glared at Sherry intently, “Tell me, what did you do to my brother back then?”.
Sherry avoided her gaze and answered meekly, “That was so many years ago, I’ve long forgotten what happened
back then.”
“Don‘t lie to me, who do you think I am? Hurry up and answer me or else you‘ll never get to eat again!”
“Okay.” Sherry stuffed her hands in her pockets , it did not seem like she was planning to confess.
She was fine with not eating.
Queenie felt her voice tightening, “Sherry, I‘ll never talk to you again if you don‘t answer me!‘
Her face burned with anger, even her eyes were slowly glowing red.
Sherry sighed helplessly, “I ended up ditching him because I thought he was too poor for me and that he‘ll never
give me a good life.”
Queenie was speechless upon hearing this.
Her eyes widened like a pair of giant marbles, she was floored by this confession.
