Chapter 131 Elizabeth Was a Thief
Mary and Carter sent the parents to the hotel together. Sherryâs mother was in poor health. Previously, when she was in the Notman family, she had been holding strong. The moment she left the Notman family, she was like a deflated ball, extremely weak.
Now that Sherry had become like that for Mary, Mary felt that it was necessary for her to take good care of her family on behalf of Sherry. Thus, she kept taking care of Sherryâs mother in the hotel. âMrs.
Notman, stop being busy.â Sherryâs mother leaned on the head of the bed and gently stroked her chest, âThis is an old problem for me. Iâll be fine after I rest for a while.â âYou have a noble status, so donât take care of me, or youâll lose your prestige.â
Her words made Mary pause slightly.
A moment later, she sighed. âAuntie, donât say that.â âAlthough I am Williamâs wife, I am also Sherryâs friend.â âIt is my duty to take care of you.â At the mention of Sherry, Sherryâs mother coughed even harder.
âGet up.â
At the side, Carter glanced coldly at Mary. His voice was low and cold. âMy mother is overly sad. She will be fine after resting for a while.â âDonât get in the way here.â After saying that, the youth rolled his eyes coldly and turned to open the door of the room. âLetâs go.â
Mary pursed her lips. Carterâs actions always made her feel uncomfortable.
âMrs. Notman, you can go back.â
Sherryâs mother leaned against the headboard and continued, âItâs already so late. You havenât eaten yet, right?â âItâs all my faultâ¦â
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Carter. âSend Mrs. Notman back. Do you hear me?â âOkay.â
Carter curled his lips. âI will definitely send her back even without you telling me.â
Chapter 131 Elizabeth Was a Thief âNo matter what, she is a weak woman. Even if I hate the Notman family, I wonât leave her alone.â The young man opened the door and looked at Mary again. âPlease.â
Since they had already said this, it was not good for Mary to continue staying here. She looked at Sherryâs mother and took a deep breath. âAuntie.â âI know that there are some things that should not be said by me, but I still want to say
âAlthough Alexander is not very good at talking and is also very strange.â âHowever, he was the one who proposed to marry Sherry, and he was also the one who took the initiative to fight against his family for Sherry.â âAlso, the problem of shares that you care about is not that Alexander wants to marry Sherry for the sake of the shares. It is my husband who is afraid that Alexanderâs parents will disagree and make things difficult for him. So he promised to use ten percent of the shares as a congratulatory gift for Alexanderâs marriage.â âThere is no such thing as Alexander marrying Sherry for money.â She especially came over to explain this matter to Sherryâs family. After all, Alexander would not take the initiative to explain, and William could not chase after them, so this matter could only be done by her. âEven if he isnât doing it for money, what about his parents?â âArenât they doing it for money?â Carter rolled his eyes.
âMoreover, didnât you hear what his mother said?â âBut, Sherry married Alexander.â Mary bit her lips.
âYou canât judge a child with his parents, right?â She took a deep breath. âThen can you see that my mother left me when I was born and my father is an alcoholic?â
âI have foster parents.â
âMy foster parents are greedy. For the sake of money, they forced me to repay their kindness of raising me and to marry William.â âIf we follow the logic that like mother, like son, I should be a profit-oriented, morally corrupt, and irresponsible person, right?â Her words caused the entire room to fall silent. Sherryâs parents looked at Mary in shock. What they were shocked about was not only Maryâs background, but also the courage of this girl. They had only met today at the Notman family..
Chapter 131 Elizabeth Was a Thief She was, however, willing to be honest when a disagreement occurred and to reveal all of her past to them. Her sincerity made Carter feel a little embarrassed to continue speaking ill of her.
After a while, the youth curled his lips. âWhy are you saying so much?â âAre you leaving or not?â âLetâs go.â
Mary bit her lips before bowing and saying goodbye to Sherryâs parents. She turned around and left with Carter.
Coming out of the hotel, Mary saw that there was a dumpling restaurant opposite the hotel.
She remembered that when Sherry participated in the program, she once said that she liked dumplings the most, and her younger brother also liked dumplings the most. So she pursed her lips and directly pulled Carter into the dumpling restaurant. âItâs already so late. Uncle and Aunt havenât eaten yet.â Her reason completely convinced Carter. The youth unwillingly sat down opposite Mary. The dumplings were cooked very slowly. Mary could not help chatting with Carter. The content of the chat naturally could not be separated from Sherry. âShe will get better.â Carter poured himself a cup of water and sipped it gently.
âMy sister is the most sensible.â
âShe wonât let my mother lose two daughters in a few years.â Two daughters? âYou have an older sister?â
Mary frowned. Carterâs body paused slightly. âSort of.â
âBut she isnât my parentâs biological daughter.â
âItâs Elizabeth.â
Elizabeth?
âSheâs your sister too?â Mary widened her eyes in shock.
âYes.â
Carterâs face was now filled with attachment to Sherry. âMy sister was kidnapped and
Chapter 131 Elcabeth Was a Thief sold when she was young, but in the end, she escaped from the human traffickers by herself.â
âLater, she was sent to the orphanage.â âShe met Elizabeth at the orphanage. They were like sisters.â
âLater, when the police took my parents to find her, she asked my parents to adopt Elizabeth.â
âSo.
âLater, my mother took her home and raised her like a biological daughter.â
âButâ¦â
âYou saw it now,â he said, lowering his head. âMy sister gave Elizabeth a family, giving her hope of living again.â âBut what Elizabeth did in return was that there was always a place in the heart of the man my sister loved the most.â His words made Mary sigh and especially wanted to cry out for Sherry. But on second thought⦠âActually, this is not Elizabethâs fault.â âShe might not have expected it either.â âHow could she not have anticipated it?â âSheâs a thief,â Carter sneered. Mary pursed her lips. Before she could ask Elizabeth what exactly she had stolen from Sherry, the dumplings were already cooked. Carter stood up with the dumplings in his hands and waved goodbye to Mary with a smile,
The moment he turned around, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and smiled coldly, âElizabeth stole my sisterâs most important thing.â
