Chapter 1705

John took a small box out of his pocket and strode to the stage

Lisa, Ron, and the others followed behind him

Sherry was next to the stage with Caprice in her armi

Carl came down from the stage and stood by her side

When John came closer Carl instinctively stood in front of Sherry, protecting her from the man.

»John narrowed his eyes

Being cautious, Carl said in a rather deep voice, “Master Stockton, Sherry is my fiance now. Please respect her

John said with a smile Relax Young Master Carl I’m just giving her a present to congratulate her. “He then lifted his hand holding

the little box

Carl frowned “What is inside”

Tm sorry it’s for her, so | can’t tell you what's inside,” John said

Carl stared at him brazenly

John’s gaze turned cold as well

Lisa, Ron, and the others pursed their lips helplessly at the scene. They dared not make a noise and did not know what to say.

The atmosphere grew awkward by the second.

It was until an adorable voice spoke that the awkwardness ended

“Uncle Carl, you are blocking my Daddy Caprice furrowed her brows as she stared at the back of Carl’s head

Carl frowned

Sherry then decided to step in

“Carl step aside.”

No matter what he did now, he could not change the fact that John was Sherry’s ex-husband.

Carl turned around to her. “Sis.”

Sherry smiled at him. “Don’t worry, he won't do anything to me.” As the richest man in Glenchester. even if he wanted to punish

her, he would not do it in front of a crowd.

Carl hesitated for a while before he reluctantly stepped to the side.

John went up to her His deep gaze stared into her eyes through his golden-framed glasses. As

his lips curled, he said, “Sherry, congratulations on the engagement.”

He wore the most elegant smile on his face, but it somehow gave Sherry the chills.

Sherry pursed her lips in silence.

John gave her the box. This is my present to you.”

She looked at it cautiously. “What is inside?” As far as she knew, it might be a bomb.

John added, “Don’t worry. It’s not a bomb, and it’s not something dangerous.”

Sherry’s eyes flickered. “Then, what is it?”

“Open it and find out.”

“If you don’t tell me what is inside, | won't take it.”

Lisa, Ron, and the others were rendered speechless. They were stunned by Sherry’s attitude towards John. The man was the

richest man in Glenchester and one of the most handsome men alive.

Sherry might be capable, but she was just an executive working for the Sagers. What fueled her attitude towards the man?

To everyone’s surprise, John was not mad at all.
