Chapter 1450

Julie tightened the shawl around her shoulder and cautiously looked at John.

“John, are you okay?”

John stared at Sherry and Carl, who had disappeared into the hall, and curled his lips into a wry grin. “I’m fine. Let’s go in.”

The hall was a lot warmer.

Sherry returned Carl his jacket and thanked him. ” Thanks.”

Carl put his jacket back on and winked at her. “You're welcome.”

Sherry quickly grabbed a glass of wine and started sipping; Carl did the same.

Soon, someone came to greet them.

Carl was great at handling people. He used the least

words to send them on their way because those who came to mingle were trying to win his favors.

Sherry was an entirely different case. People came to greet her because they wanted to know her and even tried to ask her how

she helped the Sagers overcome the crisis. Due to privacy concerns, she did not reveal much but did not turn them away directly

either.

She simply picked the trivial matters to emphasize and then shifted the topic. After exchanging name cards, the others walked

away. She wore a polite smile throughout the process and tried to be as humble as possible.

Carl was like her steward following her around with a smile. He even helped her with her wine glass when she was exchanging

name cards.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner, the man’s slender figure leaned on the wall lazily with a glass of wine in his hand while he

watched the woman’s every move. His deep gaze was glued to her, and his lips would curl from time to time.

The Sagers, Carl Sagers, and the mysterious person who helped the Sagers overcome the company’s crisis.

The woman seemed to be full of surprises.

Sherry just sent a group of people on their way, but another group came to greet her.

After a few conversations and exchanging name cards,

Sherry wanted to settle down in a quiet corner for some wine. To her surprise, after sending the last group of people away, a

familiar person came to her.

“Ms. Fowler. | didn’t know you were the mysterious person that helped the Sagers.

Julie came to her with a glass of wine and a polite and gentle smile. She made it feel like they knew each other for a long time.

As soon as Julie’s words subsided, Carl asked, “Sis, do you know her?”

Sherry said, “No.”

Julie's expression froze.

Sherry continued to smile professionally and asked, ” Miss, you do look quite familiar. Have we met before?”

Julie subtly clenched her teeth but tried her best to maintain her smile. “I’m Julie Weiss, John’s sister—in- law. | was the host at

the Stocktons’ event the other night. We met there. Don’t you remember?”

She seemed intentional in picking on Sherry’s old wounds.

“Ah, it’s coming back to me,” Sherry said. She then asked, “You're John’s sister-in-law? Why didn’t you change your last name

to Stockton?”

Julie looked disheartened.

Carl could not help but chuckle.

Julie’s expression turned bitter for a few seconds before she forced a smile. “It’s something to do with my late husband's

decision.”

“Oh, | see, sister-in-law eh? Nice to meet you.” Sherry smiled professionally.

Julie choked on her false courtesy, and even her expression froze. “Ms. Fowler, Young Master Sager, please excuse me.”

“See you around,” Sherry said.

Julie’s gaze turned cold as she walked away.
