“Don’t worry. With me around, no matter how powerful that John Stockton is, he won't dare to take advantage of you in front of

me,” Carl said as he steadily steered the car.

They were all people with status, so it was unlikely for John to do something heinous to her in public.

Sherry frowned. “Who told you I’m afraid of him?”

“Then, why the long face?”

“| don’t have a long face!”

Carl sighed. “Fine. No long face. | was wrong.

Sherry ignored the frivolous man.

Carl had another glance at her charming looks. “Sherry, we are going to reach the venue after a couple more turns. If you want

to go back now, | can still turn around.”

Sherry’s expression changed. She glared at him and said, “I don’t want to go back. Just drive and stop blabbering, or I'll call your

mother right away!”

“Okay, okay. I'll drive.”

Sherry exhaled strongly and straightened her back.

The annoyance on her charming face was replaced by confidence, followed by a frosty aura that would keep people away.

Carl had one last glance at her before he curled his lips into a grin.

Glenchester’s annual business guild conference was held in the guild president, Master Carrel’s private vacation villa.

The villa was located near the suburbs, surrounded by beautiful geographical wonders. All the famous tourist spots were within a

hand's reach. The villa was brightly lit and was surrounded by auspicious decorations.

The event was held in the grand hall behind the villa.

The hall itself was surrounded by massive ceiling—to- floor windows, which showed off the liveliness inside the building.

The sky was already dark and most of the guests had arrived. Everyone mingled with each other with a glass of wine in their

hands.

Only two of the most prominent guests had yet to arrive: John Stockton and Carl Sager.

The guests were chatting and mingling, but they all spared a sliver of attention at the entrance. It was at that moment the silver

MPV drove into the villa and stopped in front of the entrance.

The guests immediately swarmed the entrance like a flock of birds.

Someone said, “I recognize the car. It’s Master Stockton’s ride. He’s here!”

The person's words hastened the people’s pace.

After the car drove to a stop in front of the entrance, the chauffeur went up and opened the door.

Agroup of well-dressed people gathered outside the car.

Julie might be experienced in serving guests at home, this would be the first time that she was surrounded by that many

businessmen and businesswomen. Her excitement and nervousness surged out of control fora moment there. She looked at

John, seeking assistance. “John, I...”

Just as John wanted to get out, he heard her. He turned around and smiled, “Don’t worry, just stay beside me.”

Julie replied with a gentle stare and smile. “Alright.”

John got out of the car, followed by Julie.

Anumber of veteran businessmen had never seen Julie before, and her appearance shocked every one of them. All intrigued

parties sized her up secretly.

Julie could already sense the eyes on her. She elegantly walked to John’s side and smiled at the guests.

Someone from the crowd whispered, “Who is that woman? I’ve never seen her before.”

Someone else replied, “I’ve seen her before. She’s the wife to the second master of the Stocktons.”

It was then that Master Carrel, the business guild president, cut through the crowd and went up to John. He greeted with a

welcoming smile, “Master Stockton, welcome.”
