Chapter 1441
A pair of charming eyes stared at her.
He feigned an adorable voice and said, “Sherry, I’m bored. Will you go out with me?”
Carl’s face was less than a finger away from her.
Sherry covered his face single-handedly and pushed him back, forcing him to stand straight. She said, “I’m busy. Go
play by yourself.”
She turned away and continued typing on the keyboard.
Carl sighed and pouted. “Sherry, you’ve been in this room for three days now. Aren’t you bored at all?”
“No.”
Carl’s gaze shifted. He suddenly bent over and moved close to her ears. “Are you afraid of running into someone on
the streets? That’s why you’ve been hiding here for so long.”
Sherry’s typing hands froze all of a sudden. She turned to the man and stared at him coldly. Her lips curled as she

Carl pouted and straightened his body once more. A hint of annoyance flashed on his face as he looked askance at
her. “Sherry, if you threaten me with my mother again, I’ll fire you.”
Sherry leaned in the chair and crossed her arms. She smiled. “Believe me when I say I will strip you of your position
and toss you back to Coastrock City!”
Carl clenched his teeth tightly. “Fine! Fine! Stay here forever!”
He angrily turned around and headed to the door.
A few steps later, he turned to Sherry again and narrowed his eyes. “Oh, there’s something I forgot to tell you. The
Glenchester Business Guild’s annual conference is going to be held this Friday. I’ve already accepted Old Man
Carrel’s invitation.”
Sherry’s expression shifted.
Carl smiled. “Are you going, my dear boss?”
Two days later, Glenchester welcomed a drizzle that added a layer of mist to the already chilly city.
At night, in the room on the eighth floor of the hotel where Sherry used to stay, Caprice had just fallen asleep
soundly on the bed.
In his working suit, the man stood by the window and
gazed at the drizzle outside. His glasses reflected the
chilly glare of the night on the window.
A while later, Peter’s voice came from outside the door. ” Sir, are you asleep?”
John sat on the couch. “Come in.”
The door was unlocked, so Peter let himself in.
He walked to John and glanced at the man’s expression first before he said softly, “Sir, we’ve searched all the clubs
and hotels in Glenchester in the past two days as you ordered, but we couldn’t find Ms. Fowler anywhere.”
As his words subsided, the man had a layer of gloom shrouded over his handsome face without surprise.
Peter frowned. He wanted to speak but did not have the nerve to make his thought verbal. The thought remained
unspoken.

“Where do you think she could be?”
“I think Ms. Fowler could be hiding.”
“Why is she hiding then?”
Peter noticed the exhaustion on the man’s face and he did
not look as angry as expected. “I’ll be honest, but please don’t get mad at me.
John’s eyes remained closed as he leaned on the couch. He answered gruffly, “I won’t.”
Peter inhaled deeply and said, “I think Ms. Fowler was deeply hurt that night.”
John frowned.
Peter continued, “She might be unconcerned about her pride, but that night, when the crowd labeled her a thief,
and even her own biological parents resented her, you…
The man urged him in his deep voice,” Go on.
“You insisted on sending her to the station. Even if her heart was made with stone, it’d crack.” Peter sighed. “I think
she was just there to steal an invitation, not something valuable. She stole the invitation because she wanted to see
Ms. Caprice. She’s not some thief as the
crowd claimed.”
