Chapter 1585
The girl seemed startled by her father and mother’s argument.
Sherry’s chest tightened. Then, she felt the weight on her lift all of a sudden.
John had gotten out of bed. He carried Caprice and strode out, leaving Sherry alone in the spacious, quiet room.
Sherry’s heart was pounding. She was nervous. It took her a while to sit up and leave the room with her shaky legs.
The bright corridor revealed the red marks on her wrists, which she had gotten from struggling to break free from
John.
She had a glance at the living room.
John had a bowl of mashed fruits in his hand and was feeding Caprice on the couch. The girl was munching quietly,
and the fear on her face was long gone.
Sherry sighed a breath of relief. She did not want to see the man, so she went back to her room, locked it, and

After washing up and changing into some thicker clothes, she sat down beside the bed.
Being imprisoned for a year remained a nightmare that would haunt her from time to time. Had Caprice not shown
up earlier, the man might have forced himself on her again.
She curled up like a cooked shrimp and tapped on her phone to search for Sylvia’s contact.
However, her hands froze before she could make the call. It was late, and Sylvia and Odell might be resting.
Besides, she had no idea how to tell her friend about what happened.
Complaining about John bullying her again? But they were married and they had had sex before, so complaining
about something this trivial made her feel wrong.
Sherry put her phone away and buried her face behind her hands. Her chest tightened.
Before she headed out to meet Mason, she had actually thought of calling John after the meeting to inform him.
She did not expect that the man would follow her to the restaurant, She did not know
whether he followed her when she left the house or if he had someone watching her all the time. Catching her
outside the restaurant made her feel like she was caught cheating.
Regardless, the reason did not matter anymore. She just wanted to steal Caprice away and leave Glenchester.
The man resented her for cheating on him and never trusted her. If something else triggered the man’s dark side
again in the future, he might imprison her once again.
Meanwhile, outside the house, Mia finally stood up after hiding in the shadows for a
while.
She had a glance at Sherry through the window before she headed to the living room. She saw John feeding
Caprice before she snuck out of the premises through the backyard and returned to Julie’s place.
She reported to Julie about what happened tonight. From John carrying Sherry into the house to Caprice’s
appearance stopping the two of them from having sex,
everything was reported in meticulous detail.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJulie grinned.
Mia noticed the delight on her face, She added, “Ma’am, our plan is still ongoing. It hasn’t been a success yet, so
why are you so happy?”
Julie asked, “Who said our plan is still not yet a success?”
“We spent that much effort to lure Master Stockton to catch Sherry and Mason meeting behind his back, but he
only teased her on the bed and did not show any intentions of chasing her out of the house.
Julie smiled. “If he really dislikes Sherry, he wouldn’t have married her again in the first place.”
Sherry had cheated on John with Mason nine years ago, yet the man never let her go. Now he only caught Sherry
having dinner with Mason, so the best he could do was get mad at her, not chase her away.
Mia was more confused than before. “So, what is the purpose of us going through all that effort to set Sherry up
with Mason?”
Julie revealed a disdainful grin. “I want to remind Sherry that John remembered what she did to him all those years
ago.”
Three years ago, when John had imprisoned her out of retaliation, it should have
traumatized her, and when he almost forced himself on her, it should have reminded her to plot her escape as
soon as possible if she did not want history to repeat itself.
