Chapter 999

Chapter 999 Maybe because of the tightening clutch over her face or the skip of a beat in her heart, Sherry frowned.

She gasped and gulped before she looked into that frosty gaze. She forced a smile and said, “It's been so many years, and

you're still clinging on to that? Do you hate me that much, or are you still thinking about me?”

John tightened his clutch the moment her words subsided.

There was only grimness on his handsome face.

“Sherry, am | being too lenient to the point that you misunderstood your place?”

The intense pain made Sherry feel like her cheekbone was breaking. She said with gnashing teeth, “Strangle me to death or let

me out of here. If you can’t do both of them, you miss me.”

John pursed his lips. His glasses no longer concealed his terrible mood.

He said, “Strangling you to death will only stain my hand with your blood. Don’t even try to agitate or provoke me to release you.

I'll keep you here for life and make sure you don’t eat or sleep well. | want you to suffer like never before!”

“Hmph! You just love my beautiful face and body! You really know how to find an excuse.”

John was furious. His veins started popping at his forehead.

He lowered his head closer to her face. “Sherry, one more word and I'll break your teeth!”

He might not be able to strangle her to death but breaking her teeth was completely viable.

Sherry shut her mouth immediately.

The man’s grim expression softened a little.

He scoffed. “You better behave and stop provoking me. Or I'll send your friend away and make sure you never see her again.”

Sherry glared at him with gnashing teeth.

John stared at her distorted face. He slightly softened his clutch and asked, “What did you call me inside?”

“You piece of sh*t, good-for-nothing, b*stard, prick, jerk, f*cker!”

John’s expression turned grim.

“You're the one who asked me what I call you inside,” she said.

“How obedient of you,” John said with curled lips.

Sherry curled her lips too.

He maintained his smile and said, “I'll reward you with no meals for tonight and tomorrow morning. Ten more sewings this week.”

Sherry’s face turned pale. “You f*ck...”

“One more f*ck and you lose tomorrow’s dinner.”

Sherry tightened her lips.

“Good girl.” John chuckled.

He released her and returned to the house.

Sherry punched and kicked the air madly after he left.

The sky slowly turned dark, and so did the mansion.

Sherry put all her sewing tools into the box and went back to the living hall.

John had taken off his jacket and was drinking tea on the couch.

Sherry had a glance at him. She sat down at the furthest spot and continued sewing.

The living hall was quiet until the maid delivered dinner.

The maid set up the cutleries at the table and served a feast.

She also put a decanter with wine on the table.

Sherry sniffed the aroma of wine from the couch. She stared at it and gulped anxiously.

John glanced at her before he walked over to the table.

He had two glasses of wine before starting to eat elegantly before Sherry.
