Chapter 1481
Peter muttered dully, “…Alright.”
He got out of the car.
Caprice tried to turn around for a quick look, but John immediately palmed the back of her head and prevented her
from doing so.
Meanwhile, his eyes were intently fixed on what lay in front of the car.
As soon as Peter got out of the car, Sherry stared pointedly in his direction.
Peter smiled politely at her, then he walked past her, and went straight for the guard booth nearby.
Sherry observed his actions with a puzzled look on her face.
Shortly after, he showed up again, this time with two security guards marching alongside.
The two security guards looked at her with stark hostility.
Oh no! Sherry thought.
Before they could get their hands on her, she quickly shuffled to the side and charged directly at Peter and
apprehended him, holding him by his wrist.
As if placed under a spell, Peter found himself held in place and unable to move.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth of the guards were dumbstruck by this sudden aggression.
One of them threatened her, his voice a tremendous roar. “Let go of Assistant Peter’s hand immediately, or else
you’ll get it from us!”
Not only did Sherry not heed their warning, but she even tightened her grip.
Peter was afraid to move so much as a muscle.
Inside the car, the man who saw the scene transpired
before his very eyes were taken with shock, and a dark look surfaced on his face.
How dare she wrap herself around Peter in such a manner?!
Meanwhile, the two security guards took one step closer toward her.
Sherry pulled Peter closer to her. There was a small
distance between the two of them previously but now they were touching skin to skin.
This was her way of saying that they should approach at their own risk, nobody knew what she would do next.
Bang!
John set Caprice aside and kicked the door open.
“Keep an eye on her, make sure she stays in the car,” he commanded sternly.
The agitated driver answered, “Yes, sir.”
John did not waste a single moment longer and quickly stepped out of the car.
As soon as he showed up, the two security guards who
were preparing to approach Sherry quickly came to a stop.
In the middle of all this was Peter who found himself in a
hostage situation out of nowhere. He did not move at all and cast a helpless look at John and whimpered, “Master
Stockton…”
John turned to Sherry.
While still holding on tightly to Peter’s arm, she raised
her voice and stated her terms, “I want to see Caprice. If you’re not going to let me see her, don’t even think about
going in there!”
Something darkened in John’s eyes. “Sherry, you’d better let go of him right now.”
Sherry refused. “Only if you let me see Caprice.”
John smirked. “Alright, I’ll let you see her.”
Sherry was baffled by how quickly he gave in, then she asked, “Where is she? I want to see her right now.‘
“Caprice is in the car right now.”
She looked at the car behind John.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was pitch black inside, there was no way she could make out if there was even anyone inside at all.
She seemed tempted to head over right now. She gestured at the security guards and addressed John, “Tell them to
get out of my way.”
John shot a look at them and ordered, “Both of you, stand down.”
The two of them exchanged a look, then they obeyed the orders given and quickly retreated from the scene.
With that, the only ones left in the open field were Sherry, Peter, and John.
Now that the direct threat was eliminated, Sherry promptly let go of Peter’s hand and set him free.
Despite that, she was wary of John going back on his word. She bolted toward him like a flash of lightning and
seized him by his arm before he could even react.
Peter sighed from a distance upon witnessing this.
John looked calmly at Sherry’s arms clasped tightly around his, the dark and wrathful look on his face was suddenly
wiped away.
Still, there was an intent look in his eyes when he turned to meet Sherry’s gaze. “Sherry, you’re a stubborn one,
aren’t you?”
Sherry had had enough of his taunts and said sharply, ” Enough, stop wasting my time! You promised to let me see
Caprice, now open the door and let me see her!”
