Chapter 1706

Not only was he not mad, but he even pushed the box closer to Sherry with the most elegant smile. He then opened the box.

Almost instinctively, Sherry took a step backward with Caprice. Then, she saw a piece of paper in the box.

It was folded multiple times and stuffed into the ring slot.

Sherry spotted the words on the edge: marriage certificate. Her expression changed, and she immediately snatched the box

away.

John said, “That’s a copy.”

In other words, he had withheld the original copy and could give her as many copies as she could snatch or throw away

Sherry stared at him.

John smiled. “The ceremony is still going on, right? Are you going to complete it with Young Master Carl?”

Sherry choked on her emotions. Disgust rushed into her mind while her eyes were bloodshot.

The man was being a jerk!

How could he threaten her with a copy of the marriage certificate?

Carl asked, “Sis, what did he give you?”

Sherry glared at John and said with gritted teeth. “A piece of useless paper.

John simply smiled.

Awhile later, the awkwardness was shattered by Caprice’s adorable voice again. “Daddy, what is an engagement?”

She had heard her father say it multiple times to her mother since they came in, and she could not understand what it meant.

Sherry choked on her words.

John’s expression changed and said to the girl with a smile, “I don’t know either Why don’t you ask Mommy?”

Sherry almost cursed him out loud. She was aware of the girl looking at her with the most curious gaze. She gulped and said

with a stiff smile, “I'll explain it to you when we get back.”

The girl simply hummed a reply.

Before Sherry could catch a breath, John asked, “So, are you going to complete the engagement. ceremony with Young Master

Carl?”

Sherry frowned hard.

Before she could come up with a solution, Madam Sager got up and bellowed, “No! This cannot continue! Even if | die, | won't let

a married woman who has a child step through my door!”

The crowd turned to her immediately, including John and Sherry

Ada was beside her, helping her stand up. Her wrinkled face looked even more ferocious with her boiling anger It was as though

she was going to have a heart attack.

Anne came over, looking worried. “Mother, calm down. Don’t be agitated. It’s bad for your health.”

Madam Sager wore a stern look and glared at Sherry. “Stop trying to talk me out of it. If you people don’t stop this ceremony at

once, | will die on the spot!”

Anne responded with a helpless look.

Ron sighed. He turned to Sherry and said, “Sherry, why didn’t you tell us that you used to be married before?”

Sherry pursed her lips in silence. She had no words in her mind. She only agreed to be engaged to Carl because she wanted to

help him take over the company. The engagement party was just show to the family.

She never thought of telling them that she used to be married to John.

Now that her secret was exposed, the engagement ceremony could no longer continue, and there was nothing else for her to

say.

The atmosphere grew awkward once more.

Just when everyone switched their attention to Sherry, Carl said, “I know about this.”

His words captivated everyone's attention.

He stood beside Sherry and looked at Ron and Anne. With a firm tone, he said, “I know she used to be married before, but |

don’t care!”

Both Ron and Anne were shocked.
