Chapter 1448

Everyone glued their eyes on the woman’s back, waiting for her to turn around for a better look.

Everything went quiet for a few more seconds.

The woman took two steps forward following Carl’s movements and then turned around to the crowd. Her charming looks and

delicate facial features immediately came under the spotlight.

Suddenly, it got so quiet that one could even hear a needle dropping on the ground.

Many were astonished by her breathtaking looks.

There were also some who widened their eyes in shock, including Matthew, Janine, and Jake who intentionally avoided John

from the moment he arrived.

Julie was also stunned.

The man beside her who stood firm suddenly petrified. His smile froze as if the freezing wind stopped his movements.

Things went quieter than before.

“What's with the silence?” Carl chuckled. He then looked at Sherry affectionately and tapped her head. “Sister Sherry, | think they

are stunned by your beauty.”

Sherry looked askance at him.

Carl gulped nervously. “Oh my, it’s cold here. It’s a lot colder than Coastrock.” He then took off his jacket and put it on Sherry’s

shoulders. It was still quiet.

Other than those who did not know who Sherry was, those who knew her or had seen her before at the

Stocktons‘ event, including Matthew, Janine, and Jake, were all stunned.

What happened?

Awhile ago, Sherry was accused of stealing Carl's invitation to get into the Stocktons’ residence and was caught by security. She

was pressed to the ground violently and was taken away in embarrassment. How did she end up as Carl’s good sister?

Judging from how attentive Carl was to her, the people who knew Sherry were more confused than ever.

The whistling wind felt like the coldest hands, slapping their faces silently.

Could she be the mysterious person who helped the Sagers overcome their crisis?

No matter who she was, it was obvious that she had a close relationship with Carl, so there was no reason for her to steal his

invitation that night.

The crowd felt embarrassed.

Matthew, Janine, and Jake remained petrified.

What happened? As far as they knew, the woman before them was the girl from the rural village, so how could she be the

mysterious person behind the Sagers?

The other person who shared the same disbelief was Julie. She frowned as her face turned pale.

John’s expression was hidden behind his glasses as they reflected the lights. However, a person with a keen eye could tell that

his fists were tightly clenched. 1

Master Carrel sharply noticed the embarrassment in the unusually quiet crowd. He immediately went up to Carl and Sherry. He

smiled and said, “So, this must be the mysterious person. Ms. Fowler, | presume? | did not expect the person to be a young and

beautiful woman.”

Sherry smiled. “You're too kind, Master Carrel.”

She had told her men to approach Master Carrel using Carl’s name for the invitation to the Stocktons‘ event, so she had never

seen Master Carrel in person.

Sherry took the initiative and put her hand out for a handshake.

Master Carrel quickly shook her hand and then turned to John behind him. He smiled and said, “Master Stockton, let me

introduce Carl Sager from the Sagers.”

John curled his lips at Carl. “Young Master Sager, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Carl put one of his hands over Sherry’s shoulders while pocketing his idle hand. He smiled wickedly and said,

You're too kind, Master Stockton. | am the one who has

heard tons about your achievements.”

John pursed his lips. His eyes then shifted to Sherry.

((

Sherry allowed Carl to hug her freely. Maybe she was mentally prepared for the meeting, so when she locked. eyes with John,

not only did she stare straight into his eyes but she even lifted her chin proudly and curled her

fiery lips into a professional smile.

John’s expression went cold. He, too, curled his lips into a smile, but it felt dangerous.
