Chapter 1386
Sherry leaned on the car and crossed her arms. “Tell me, I have all the time in the world.”
Jacob pursed his lips awkwardly.
Had she not noticed he did not want to talk to her?
A quick thought later, he said with a professional smile, Why don’t you ask Madam herself for more details? I’m just
an observer, so my story might not be accurate.”
“Those who observe see clearer. I want your side of the story,” Sherry said with a raised brow.
Jacob was left speechless.
He somehow felt Sherry was unlike the person she was two years ago. Her aura and presence had grown a lot
stronger.
Some thoughts later, Jacob reluctantly said, “Ms. Fowler, I’m just a bodyguard. I shouldn’t be talking about my boss
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthere.”
Sherry’s lips remained curled, and her smile remained bright. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll call Syl and ask her to fire
you.”
Jacob felt absolutely helpless. People just loved to threaten bodyguards like him by firing them, which was
getting a little old in his opinion.
A moment of silence later, he said, “Alright.”
Since Odell had gone looking for Sylvia, they must have made up and cleared the misunderstanding.
He then explained how Ruth arranged for Shermaine, who looked like Sylvia, to come to Westchester two years ago
so that she could approach and intentionally save Madam Carter.
He also mentioned that Shermaine was promoted to become Odell’s secretary after two years and then got
exposed as part of Ruth’s plan by Odell himself after a few
days.
Sherry’s expressions switched multiple times in the
process.
After briefly learning what happened, she asked, “Syl ran away because of Shermaine?”
“I suppose so,” Jacob said. He then explained, “But there’s nothing between Master Carter and Shermaine. He was
busy a while back and almost never comes home. Madam doesn’t like that very much, and Master Carter must
have assumed that she doesn’t understand him.”
Sherry’s expression softened.
If there was something going on between Odell and Shermaine, she would not have noticed the inklings of a
scheme when she confronted him in the parking lot.
Odell went looking for Sylvia yesterday, so they were probably sleeping together already by now.
Sherry then suddenly recalled seeing a woman in a cap running past her car. She asked, “Was that Shermaine?”
Jacob nodded. “Yeah. It’s her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe looked in the direction that Shermaine ran off.
The street was empty, the trees looked quiet, and there were no signs of souls anywhere. Shermaine must have
left.
She then asked Jacob, “Are Madam Carter, Aunt Tonya, and the kids home?”
“Yes. They are all inside,” Jacob said.
Sherry then took several beautiful boxes out of her car. These are the presents I’ve prepared for them. I still have
something to do, so I’ll leave them to you.”
Jacob took the presents. “I understand.”
Another quick thought later, she added, “Don’t say it’s from me. Just say it’s from Syl’s friend.
Surprised, Jacob asked, “Why?”
Sherry’s eyes flickered. “No reason. Just do as I said.”
Jacob then related her reaction to John’s incident, so he
simply complied.
After that, Sherry got into the car and left.
