Chapter 1526

Queenie was in the living room in her pajamas and looking frustrated for having been woken up by a call.

She put the phone by her ear and grumbled, “Mom, why are you calling me at this hour?!”

From the other side of the phone, Madam Stockton’s voice clearly sounded annoyed when she heard her daughter’s tone. “It’s

late! What are you doing outside with your brother and Caprice?”

Queenie was stunned. “Didn’t John tell you that we're staying here for the night? We'll come back tomorrow afternoon.”

Madam Stockton gulped nervously. “You guys are staying there with the Carters?!”

“Yeah. | was already sleeping before you called me!”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” Madam Stockton sounded angry.

Annoyed, Queenie said, “I thought Brother told you.”

Madam Stockton choked on her emotions. “Where’s Caprice? Where is she?”

“She's already asleep.”

“How was she? Did she hurt herself while playing?”

Queenie said with a smile, “No. She was a good girl. She’s been with Liam the whole

day.”

“Liam? The Carters’ eldest son?”

“Yeah.”

“He’s just a child! How can you let Caprice be with him the whole day? Shouldn’t Sherry be watching her?”

“Mom, Liam might also be a child, but he’s good at taking care of others. Besides, Caprice only wants to be with Liam. She

doesn’t even care when Brother calls her. There are also bodyguards around, so Sherry doesn’t really need to stay by her side

the whole day.”

“She's the girl’s mother! She must be by Caprice’s side!” Madam Stockton voiced her

concern.

Queenie knew her mother was prejudiced against Sherry, and it was difficult to

persuade her in such a short time. Therefore, she pursed her lips and decided not to

argue.

Madam Stockton added, “Fine. Go to sleep. If anything happens to Caprice, call me at once, got it?”

“Yeah. | got it,” Queenie answered.

The call ended.

Queenie returned to the room that she shared with Isabel.

Sherry, who had been eavesdropping at the door, returned to the bed after Queenie

left.

Sylvia noticed the look on her face and asked, “What's wrong?”

“It's nothing. Queenie had a call. Where were we just now?” she said with a smile.

Sylvia said, “You ran into Madam Sagers, helped her deal with some thug, and she brought you into the company.”

“Oh, right. After that, | became a normal salesperson at the company and helped them secure a major deal after that...” Sherry

continued her story. She told Sylvia what happened throughout the years while she was gone.

At midnight, Sherry finally got tired. She yawned and said, “Syl, let's sleep. I’m tired.”

Sylvia smiled. “Alright.”

The lights went off and the room turned quiet.

Sherry’s eyes, however, remained open. Queenie’s call lingered in her mind. Although she did not hear what Madam Stockton

said, she was certain that the lady must have been talking badly about her again.

However, Madam Stockton’s comments about her were not what troubled her. She was concerned about the kisses John had

given her back in the game room earlier.

Had the man got out of his mind? Was it a sign that he no longer wanted the marriage to remain contractual?

Back at the Stocktons’ residence, Madam Stockton’s house remained lit in the night. She had just finished the call in the living

room and grunted coldly.
