Chapter 1504
“I told her, but she refused,” Julie said with a sigh.
“Hmph! She just came back into the family, and she’s already keeping my granddaughter from me. If she continues
to stay under this roof, there won’t be any place for me and you in the future,” Madam Stockton grumbled in anger
and disgust.
Julie immediately consoled her, “Mother, you shouldn’t say something like that. John will never do that.”
Madam Stockton argued, “His mind is full of that wretched woman! He has forgotten about his mother!”
It was then that a noise came from the living room next door.
Madam Stockton’s gaze shifted, and she curled her lips.
Julie pursed her lips and exchanged a quick glance with Madam Stockton.
The two ladies then went closer to the wall to eavesdrop.
In the living room next door, Sherry saw two familiar faces as soon as she walked in: Matthew and Janine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter an initially blank expression, Sherry regained her composure and sat on the couch opposite the duo. She
leaned back and crossed her arms before.she scoffed and
asked, “Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, what brings you two here?”
Matthew and Janine remained standing, and Sherry’s attitude put a frosty look on their faces.
Matthew said angrily, “Sherry, we are your parents. What is with that attitude? Stand up and talk to us!”
Sherry argued, “I don’t remember having a father and a mother.”
“YOU-!” Matthew choked on his own emotions.
Janine said coldly, “I don’t care if you acknowledge us as your parents or not, but we are still related by blood. If we
didn’t give birth to you, you wouldn’t be here today talking to us like this.”
Sherry scoffed. “Should I thank you for giving birth to me? Should I thank you for swapping me for Shannon? Well, I
guess I should thank you for hating me because I lived in some rural village when I was with you. I should thank you
for ignoring me all those years, and thank you for letting Shannon take advantage of me. Oh, I shouldn’t forget
about Shannon, your precious DAUGHTER, trying to kill me!”
Sherry expressed her ‘gratitude‘ relentlessly which made Janine’s expression freeze.
Both Matthew and Janine responded poorly but were silenced by Sherry’s claims.
After Madam Stockton overheard the conversation from
next door, she frowned too. She might not have the best impression of Sherry, but after listening to the
conversation, Sherry’s parents were not saints themselves either.
Julie captured the old lady’s expression. She sighed softly and said, “I didn’t know Ms. Fowler had such a poor
relationship with her parents. That explains a lot about her unrestrained attitude.”
In other words, she had no manners.
Madam Stockton reacted with disgust on her face. “She’s just a woman with no manners.”
Julie’s eyes gleamed but did not continue the topic.
Besides Julie and Madam Stockton, there was another man at the door listening to the conversation inside.
Sherry’s sarcastic expression of gratitude put a smile on the man’s face. The woman had always been good at
arguing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry’s voice sounded from inside the room. “To what do I owe this visit? Oh, wait… How did you two know that I
am here?”
Both Matthew and Janine were taken aback by her question.
Sherry continued, “Did Julie tell you?”
“No,” Matthew answered.
“Then, it must be Madam Stockton,” Sherry said.
Madam Stockton grunted when she heard Sherry. “She’s as cunning as a fox!”
Julie said in a small voice, “Ms. Fowler is indeed smarter than we thought.”
John narrowed his eyes and the expression on his face turned grim.
Matthew then looked at Sherry and said, “That’s not important. We are here to talk to you about something else.”

“What is it? Do you want me to leave John? Leave the Stocktons‘ residence?” Sherry knew what her parents wanted
before they even spoke.
A quick thought later, she added, “What did she give you? Or did she threaten you with the company? Or both?”
