Chapter 1277

Chapter 1277 After a brief silence, Odell asked, “Is the money too little for you?” Shermaine hastily explained , “No, I've never

seen this much money in my entire life! It's just that | simply don't need the money.”

Odell frowned.

Cliff was still hovering the check over her eyes.

Shermaine sighed and said, “If you want to show appreciation, why don’t you set me up with a job? I... I'm not satisfied with my

current job, but | don't have the connections to find a better job.”

Cliff turned to Odell. “Master Carter?”

“Make the proper arrangements,” Odell ordered and left without another word.

Cliff smiled and turned to Shermaine. “You're an artist, aren't you? The madam is part of the Westchester Art Academy and is a

renowned painter. She has plenty of connections and I’m sure she can find a suitable position for you.”

Shermaine smiled. “Drawing is just a passion for me. My profession is in administration . |...I'd like to find a new administrative

position with growth potential. | want to

stop working for a small company.”

Cliff's eyes glowed up. “That will be easy.”

He extracted a business card from his pocket as he said this and handed it to her, “This is my business card. Why don't you give

me your phone number as well? I'll check with the department at our company first thing tomorrow morning. I'm sure we'll be

able to arrange something suitable for someone of your skillset.”

Shermaine took the business card and her eyes widened upon reading it. She expressed with awe, “You're the personal

assistant of the CEO of Carter Corporation? That means that the gentleman earlier is...”

Cliff smiled and remarked, “He's the man behind Carter Corporation.”

Shermaine was floored by this revelation.

Cliff briefly exchanged some information with her before bidding her farewell. After he left, Shermaine took the business card and

walked to the balcony.

She could see several expensive cars parked in the parking lot of her apartment complex.

Sylvia and Odell were accompanying the previous old lady into one of the cars.

Shermaine smiled as she looked at their tiny figures

below. She rubbed his fingers over the word “president”. printed on the business card and muttered to herself, “ Aunt Ruth, he’s

even more handsome than what you've described to me.” 4

Ablack car accelerated down the highway. Sylvia was seated in the backseat with Madam Carter. After getting in the car, Madam

Carter chatted about the children for a while and fell asleep shortly after that.

Now that Madam Carter was safe and sound, Sylvia could finally heave a sigh of relief. She took her phone and sent a message

to Sherry.

That was when she saw several unread messages.

They were all from Ben.

“Ma‘am, Master Stockton barged into the confinement center and took away Miss Sherry‘s daughter. “It looks like Miss Sherry

managed to slip away. They searched the entire confinement center and still couldn't find her.

“We just saw Miss Sherry outside the building. Master Stockton went after her but he came back sometime after with a very dark

look on his face. It looks like he couldn't catch up to her. They took away her daughter after that and it seems like they're headed

toward you and Master

Carter.”

The last unread message was sent only a few minutes ago.

Sylvia called him immediately.

The call was connected at the first ring. Sylvia bypassed any form of greetings and went straight to the point.” Ben, what's the

current situation? You said John took Caprice from the confinement center?”

“Yes, ma‘am. He also took Aunt Wanda with him. | believe he’s coming to see you now.”

“Alright, | got it.”

Sylvia quickly hung up and dialed Sherry‘s number next.

The call would not connect. Her phone must have been switched off.

Sylvia grimaced and sent her a text message instead.“ Sherry, call me immediately after you see this message.”

Sherry‘s daughter was taken away and she was too powerless to do anything to rescue her daughter. She must be feeling

horrible now. Sylvia took a deep breath and put her phone away.
