Chapter 1415

It seemed like the girl had captured his grim expression while instructing Peter how to reply to Sherry.

He pinched the girl’s cheek and said, “Sorry. I'll eat now.’

He scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

The little girl curled her lips into a sweet smile.

John held Caprice with one hand while he ate using the other hand.

Aunt Wanda and the other two servants cleverly stepped aside and sighed a breath of relief. They had seen John’s terrifying

expression as well.

John usually looked like a humble gentleman who never showed his temper in public, but when he did, he would be scarier than

a demon from hell.

Fortunately, Caprice was around to hold him down, or else Aunt Wanda and the servants would be horrified.

The weather forecast was surprisingly accurate about the snow.

The next morning, while Sherry was heading toward the suburbs, it started to snow. The land was covered with a layer of white

before she knew it.

The driver did not drive her to the destination due to unforeseen circumstances. He said apologetically, Madam, the road ahead

is narrow and steep, and it hasn’t been repaired since ages ago. It’s dangerous for me to go any further. It’s only a kilometer

away from your destination, so why don’t you go there on foot?”

Sherry did not force the driver to go on further. She got out and traveled on foot while wrapped in layers of winter clothes.

It was snowing heavily. The unforgiving wind whistled and shook even the trees along the road. There was not a single soul in

sight.

Sherry shrank her neck into the jacket and moved on slowly.

Awhile later, just before her nose froze and fell off her face, she spotted the construction site.

Next to the site was a temporary shed built for the workers.

Maybe because of the weather, the workers were not around. Only two security guards were there chatting with each other.

Sherry knocked on the door and asked politely, “Hello, is Master Stockton here?”

The security guards were confused. “Master Stockton?”

“John Stockton, the CEO of Stockton Corporation.”

The two security guards cackled with laughter. “Madam, are you kidding us? Why would he be here?”

“Yeah. This place is remote and far away, and it’s snowing today. Not even his employees would come here, let alone himself.”

Sherry furrowed her brows. “What about Peter? Assistant Jackson. Is he here?”

“No. No one is here today. It’s just us on duty.

“Madam, please leave. The snow is getting heavier. Leave while you can.”

The two security guards urged her to return.

Sherry was disheartened.

Peter did not come to the site today? But he said he would come here to inspect the progress yesterday!

Sherry pulled out her phone and called Peter

immediately. Due to the poor signal, she had to wander around in the snow for better reception. When the call got through, she

asked, “Assistant Jackson, where are you?”

Peter answered, “Ms. Fowler, I’m at the office. What’s the matter?”

Sherry inhaled deeply and bellowed out of annoyance, “I

thought you said you would come to the suburbs for a site inspection? Why are you at the office?”

Peter answered in a small voice, “I planned to, but it’s snowing today. The road gets slippery and uneven, so | didn’t go to the

site.”

Sherry remained annoyed. “Then, why didn’t you tell me?!”

Peter said, “Um... why would | tell you about my schedule?”

Sherry choked on Peter’s answer.

Amoment of hesitation later, he said, “Ms. Fowler, it’s snowing heavily. Please don’t tell me you are at the site now.”

Sherry hung up the phone immediately.
