Chapter 1219
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 1219 If it wasn't for Hailey who was trailing closely behind Queenie, Sherry would have presumed that she was here to
give her a hard tinie.
Upon entering, Queenie eyed her up and down with a judgmental look in her eyes.
Sherry leaned back against the chair and greeted her lazily, âHey.â
Queenie shot her a look, âSherry, what's your deal? Why did you meet up privately with Mason out of nowhere?â
Sherry answered, âIt wasn't me who arranged the meeting with him.â
Queenie was doubtful, âThen how do you explain my brother getting so angry? He... he's going to keep you imprisoned here
again.â
âHe came to give me money.â
âHuh?â Queenie proceeded to sit next to Sherry. âJust tell me what exactly is going on.â |
Hailey approached and set a platter of food on the table, it was a sizeable portion.
Sherry was so hungry that she immediately grabbed a spoon and gobbled several spoonfuls before she finally
turned her attention back to Queenie, âThere was some financial crisis with the Browns and the Fowlers more than a year ago,
that was when | ended up approaching your brother for help and got him to invest about a billion into the familyâs projects.â âI
know about that, what happened after that?â
âHis investment only saw a return of two hundred million over the last year, that was when he claimed that | still owed him a debt
of eight hundred million and that | had to slave away for him until | paid off the debt.â
Queenie was confused by this, â...It's the Browns and the Fowlers who owe him the money. Besides, investing and taking a loan
are quite different things.â
She seemed rather at a loss of what to make of this.
Sherry only groaned weakly in response to this, âWell, your brother made his call and thereâs not much | can do.â
Queenie asked, âSo Mason came to see you today to give you the remaining eight hundred million?â
Sherry muttered, âYeah.â.
âThen why is my brother so angry?â
âHe's a psycho.â
Queenie glared at her, âSherry, if you insult my brother in front of me again, I'm not going to bring you food anymore in the
future.â
Sherry swallowed another bite and stayed silent.
That was when Hailey suddenly spoke up, âMiss, it's a pretty straightforward matter at the end of the day. The young master still
has feelings for Sherry and is using the money as an excuse to trap her. He must have been enraged when he found that Master
Brown wanted to take Sherry away from his clutches by clearing the debt for her.â
Sherry froze for a brief moment, then she regained her composure and continued eating. Queenie suddenly gasped, âOh, |
hadn't considered that possibility.â
She turned to Sherry again, âSherry, what's going on between you and my brother? Sure, you may have gone to him and asked
for financial assistance to bail out the Browns and the Fowlers, but that's not enough reason for him to keep you locked up inside
our house and continue keeping you prisoner even after he got married! Besides, why would he marry your sister if he was so
into you?â Sherry buried her head in the platter of food and continued gobbling away. Queenie knew there was something more
than this, she raised her voice and interrogated Sherry, âDid something happen between you and my brother in the past? Did you
do anything to betray his trust back when the two of you were together?â
Sherry ate with such ferocity. (1) Queenie was getting impatient, she immediately snatched the platter away from Sherry.
She glared at Sherry intently, âTell me, what did you do to my brother back then?â.
Sherry avoided her gaze and answered meekly, âThat was so many years ago, Iâve long forgotten what happened back then.â
âDon't lie to me, who do you think | am? Hurry up and answer me or else you'll never get to eat again!â
âOkay.â Sherry stuffed her hands in her pockets , it did not seem like she was planning to confess.
She was fine with not eating.
Queenie felt her voice tightening, âSherry, I'll never talk to you again if you donât answer me!"
Her face burned with anger, even her eyes were slowly glowing red.
Sherry sighed helplessly, âI ended up ditching him because | thought he was too poor for me and that he'll never give me a good
life.â
Queenie was speechless upon hearing this.
Her eyes widened like a pair of giant marbles, she was floored by this confession.
