Chapter 1579
The revelation that Sherry was the mother did come off as a shock.
That explained why John was so fond of Caprice.
He observed Caprice for a while longer and remarked, “She does look like you.”
Sherry grinned. “Of course.”
Mason grinned as well and turned back to her. “So I guess the rumors that you were President Sherry at Sager
Corporation are true?”
Sherry did not attempt to hide it. “Yes.”
Mason was impressed. “You’re more capable than I think you were.”
Sherry returned the compliment. “You’re not so bad either.”
Mason’s face suddenly darkened. “Me? No, I don’t think so.”
“What’s wrong? Did you run into any problems lately?” Sherry was surprised to see the usually confident Mason

“No, everything is fine. It’s just-” He suddenly paused and seemed to have difficulty continuing. “It’s just, my family
will be moving back to Westchester in a few days.”
Sherry was shocked to hear this. “Why are you guys moving back to Westchester ?”
Mason grimaced and confessed the truth, “Our projects in Glanchester these past two years aren’t working out so
well. In the end, we feel like Westchester is a better site for future developments so the final decision was to move
our base of operations back to Westchester.”
Sherry was perplexed by this. “Weren’t things progressing pretty well back then? What happened these last two
years?”
Mason hesitated for a moment and said at last, “Well, unfortunate timing, I guess.”
“Is this about John?” Sherry suddenly brought up.
Mason took a deep breath. “Three years ago, Master Stockton withdrew his funds initially going toward two of our
projects. I know he wasn’t intentionally sabotaging our operations, but-”
“But things still took a hit, didn’t they?”
“Yeah,” Mason remarked with a strained smile, “It’s alright, he has helped us more
times than I can count in the past. I don’t want to have to rely on him for everything.”
Sherry frowned.
Three years ago, that meant it coincided with when she left Glanchester. Did John withdraw his funds because he
was upset because of her leaving?
“Hey, are you free at noon? We’re probably not going to meet again in the future so I’d like to treat you to a meal
one last time,” Mason asked with an eager look in his eyes.
Sherry thought about it for a moment and answered hesitantly, “I don’t think I can make it this afternoon. I
promised Caprice that I’ll take her to eat something nice.”
“How about tonight?”
“Tonight should be fine.”
Just a quick meal, that was all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe also hoped to find out more about the difficulties Mason was facing, perhaps she would be able to help out in
some way.
She was aware that John was not fond of Mason because of what happened nine years ago.
Mason did not deserve to be treated this way. After all, it was she who enlisted his help back then.
They exchanged some pleasantries after that before Mason took his leave.
Sherry went back to Caprice and resumed playing with her.
Unbeknownst to her, someone was creeping amid the bushes when she was
chatting with Mason. This suspicious individual had taken many pictures of the two chatting.
After Mason left, Mia switched off the camera.
She sent all the photos she had taken to Julie, followed by a message. “Ma’am, they said they were going to meet
for dinner tonight.”
Julie’s reply was almost instantaneous, “Where are they eating?”
Mia replied, “I don’t know, he hasn’t told her yet. Should I keep following her?”
Julie called it off. “No, come back right away. Make sure Sherry doesn’t see you.” Mia replied, “Got it.”
Meanwhile, Julie was sitting comfortably at home. She went through the pictures Mia had sent her and was very
pleased with the splendid quality of the pictures.
