Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 1386
Sherry leaned on the car and crossed her arms. âTell me, | have all the time in the world.â
Jacob pursed his lips awkwardly.
Had she not noticed he did not want to talk to her?
A quick thought later, he said with a professional smile, Why donât you ask Madam herself for more details? Iâm just an observer,
so my story might not be accurate.â
âThose who observe see clearer. | want your side of the story,â Sherry said with a raised brow.
Jacob was left speechless.
He somehow felt Sherry was unlike the person she was two years ago. Her aura and presence had grown a lot
stronger.
Some thoughts later, Jacob reluctantly said, âMs. Fowler, Iâm just a bodyguard. | shouldnât be talking about my boss here.â
Sherryâs lips remained curled, and her smile remained bright. âIf you donât tell me, I'll call Syl and ask her to fire you.â
Jacob felt absolutely helpless. People just loved to threaten bodyguards like him by firing them, which was
getting a little old in his opinion.
Amoment of silence later, he said, âAlright.â
Since Odell had gone looking for Sylvia, they must have made up and cleared the misunderstanding.
He then explained how Ruth arranged for Shermaine, who looked like Sylvia, to come to Westchester two years ago so that she
could approach and intentionally save Madam Carter.
He also mentioned that Shermaine was promoted to become Odellâs secretary after two years and then got exposed as part of
Ruthâs plan by Odell himself after a few
days.
Sherryâs expressions switched multiple times in the
process.
After briefly learning what happened, she asked, âSyl ran away because of Shermaine?â
â| suppose so,â Jacob said. He then explained, âBut thereâs nothing between Master Carter and Shermaine. He was busy a while
back and almost never comes home. Madam doesnât like that very much, and Master Carter must have assumed that she
doesnât understand him.â
Sherryâs expression softened.
If there was something going on between Odell and Shermaine, she would not have noticed the inklings of a scheme when she
confronted him in the parking lot.
Odell went looking for Sylvia yesterday, so they were probably sleeping together already by now.
Sherry then suddenly recalled seeing a woman in a cap running past her car. She asked, âWas that Shermaine?â
Jacob nodded. âYeah. Itâs her.â
She looked in the direction that Shermaine ran off.
The street was empty, the trees looked quiet, and there were no signs of souls anywhere. Shermaine must have left.
She then asked Jacob, âAre Madam Carter, Aunt Tonya, and the kids home?â
âYes. They are all inside,â Jacob said.
Sherry then took several beautiful boxes out of her car. These are the presents Iâve prepared for them. | still have something to
do, so I'll leave them to you.â
Jacob took the presents. âI understand.â
Another quick thought later, she added, âDonât say itâs from me. Just say itâs from Sylâs friend.
Surprised, Jacob asked, âWhy?â
Sherryâs eyes flickered. âNo reason. Just do as | said.â
Jacob then related her reaction to Johnâs incident, so he
simply complied.
After that, Sherry got into the car and left.
