Chapter 1429
Sherry was utterly perplexed by this.
Were her ears playing tricks on her? Was it not Madam Stockton who called her by name just now?
Before she could utter a word, Julie stepped forward and said, “Mom, she must’ve snuck in here somehow.”
Madam Stockton shouted with an urgency in her voice at the security guards, “Take her to the police station!‘
Two security guards immediately approached Sherry.
Sherry drew several steps back and looked at both Madam Stockton and Julie, her eyes colored with disbelief.
Were they pretending to not know who she was because they were afraid of people discovering her identity as
Caprice’s mother?
The look in her eyes shifted. She suddenly smiled and announced, “Madam Stockton, I didn’t sneak in. I’m an
honored guest invited here just like everybody else.”
Madam Stockton seemed appalled by this and turned to Julie.
Julie confronted Sherry with hostility. “I don’t know you, I never sent you an invitation.”
The people surrounding them began to murmur. “We’ve
never seen her before, I don’t think she’s a relative or
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfriend of the Stocktons. There’s no way she has an invitation card.”
“Yeah, she must’ve snuck in here.”
“Show us your invitation card if you claim to have it.”
…
Julie identified the glaring weakness of Sherry’s excuse and pounced on the opening. “Miss, if you claim to have
been invited, please do show us the invitation card.”
This was what Sherry was waiting for.
As soon as Julie finished speaking, Sherry opened her bag and revealed an invitation card inside a purple envelope.
The sight of it made Julie and Madam Stockton grimace in unison.
The onlookers were just as similarly stunned by the piece of evidence the unknown woman presented.
John, who had just arrived at the scene with Caprice, was alarmed by this as well.
He stared at the invitation card Sherry revealed and frowned deeply.
When Caprice saw Sherry, she gestured at her and cried out to John, “Daddy, it’s Mo-”
“I know.” John quickly interrupted her.
“Brother, what are you looking at here?” Queenie ran toward the scene from the other side of the venue and
stopped next to John. She had to stand on her tiptoes to get a closer look at the center of the crowd.
The moment she recognized Sherry, her eyes widened, ” Sher-”
Before she could get another word out, John shoved Caprice into her arms.
She frantically held Caprice in her arms, afraid of dropping her, then she turned to John with a bewildered
expression. “Huh?”
John said sternly, “Take Caprice somewhere else, get away from here.”
There was a separate room with plenty of delicious food inside.
It was far away enough from Sherry so that Caprice would not see or hear whatever was going on.
Queenie protested. “I want to see what’s going to happen next.”
Although she had always wanted to spend some private time with Caprice, she was more eager to stick around and
see what was about to go down next.
John glared at her, the look in his eyes sharpened immediately.
Queenie was quickly intimidated and took the hint. ” Alright, I’m taking her away.”
With that, she hurriedly turned around and took Caprice to the private room.
John frowned again, then he quickly regained his usual calm composure as he trotted toward the center of
the crowd.
While this was happening, Sherry was brandishing the invitation card in front of her like a shield proving her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminnocence. “Madam Stockton, second madam, take a close look at this invitation card and tell me it’s not forged.”
The invitation cards issued by the Stockton were marked with a unique stamp to prove that they belonged to none
other than the Stocktons. It was an iconic and intricate design that was impossible for any outsiders to simply
forge.
Madam Stockton frowned tightly and threw a look at Julie.
Julie accused Sherry, “This invitation card does come from us, but we never sent it to you. Where in the world did
you get this invitation from?”
Someone in the crowd spoke up, “Did she steal it?”
“That’s right, you didn’t send this invitation card to me, merely borrowed it from someone else.” Sherry confessed.
Madam Stockton hissed sharply. “Who did you take it from?”
Sherry opened the invitation card.
Madam Stockton and Julie stared at it curiously.
Everyone else squinted their eyes to get a closer look as well.
The name of the person invited was written in the center of the card.
Madam Stockton and Julie’s eyes widened with recognition the moment they scanned the words written on the
card.
Madam Stockton jabbed a finger at Sherry and cried out,
So this was why Young Master Carl didn’t show up. You stole his invitation card!”
