Chapter 110
Sherry remained silent, which made Mateo unhappy. Just as he was about to argue,
Sherry pulled him aside. She frowned and shook her head, indicating that he shouldn’t
provoke David over such a trivial matter.
Despite David’s conservative and old–fashioned nature, he was still a master of
landscape design. If they exposed his true intentions and he started targeting Morgan
Real Estate, it would be detrimental.

Observing this, Nora smiled and said, “David, please don’t say things like that. You’re
making her uncomfortable. Sherry is a good girl. How could she have such thoughts?
Come, Sherry, let’s sit down and talk.”
“I won’t sit.” Sherry turned her head and glanced at Sophia, who was sitting next to
David. She whispered, “Joseph ran into the haunted house alone and refused to come
out with me. You’re his sister, so go in and bring him out.”
Sophia was instantly dumbfounded. “Me?”

Yes, Sherry said. “You know, Joseph has always disliked me. No matter how I call him,
he refuses to come out with me. So, I had no choice but to come out and find you.”
The unpleasant memories from inside the haunted house were still fresh in Sophia’s
mind. She didn’t want to go in again at all. She looked to Nora for help.
But Nora said, “How did Joseph end up going in alone? Sophia, please go quickly and
bring him out. Let Malcolm accompany you so that you can take care of each other.”
As soon as these words were spoken, David stood up, his face turning dark as he
stared directly at Sherry. “How could you let Joseph go in alone? What if something
happens to him? Can you take responsibility?”
When Sherry arrived, she had already anticipated that David might get angry, so she
wasn’t surprised. “I’m sorry, Mr. Wilson. It’s my fault for not taking good care of Joseph.”
David stared at her for a while, his expression showing impatience. “Find him first.
Sophia, please go and find your brother. He must be scared of being alone in there.”
Sophia was in a dilemma; she didn’t really want to go back in, but she still relied on him
as her support, so she couldn’t afford to offend him.
Nora signaled her by looking at her. Sophia saw it and could only grit her teeth and
respond, “Okay, then I’ll go pick up Joseph. Malcolm, shall we go together?”
“You go first. I’m feeling a bit unwell at the moment and want to rest for a while,”
Malcolm replied.
Nora looked at him with surprise and said, “Malcolm, what’s wrong? Are you feeling
unwell?
Malcolm casually replied, “It’s nothing; maybe it’s just the hot weather. I’ll rest for a bit
and be fine.”
“If it’s serious, should we go to the hospital first?”
Malcolm glanced at Sherry and quickly averted his gaze. “In that case, I’ll go to the
hospital first. Could you trouble Mr. Mateo to send Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson back
later?”

Mateo instinctively felt that he was up to something again and forced a smile as he
politely declined, “There are too many people, and one car won’t be enough. Besides, I
can’t drive three cars by myself. How about Mr. Ford dropping Mr. Wilson and Mrs.
Wilson off in the city? I’ll stay here and send your fiancée and little brother–in–law back
later.”

This arrangement seemed fine on the surface, but the tension between the two men
was apparent to everyone present, except for David. Malcolm chuckled lightly. “Mr.
Mateo, what is your true intention? Are you staying behind to send my fiancée or
Sherry?”
“Sherry is my employee, so of course she should work with me and leave together. Is
there a problem with that?”
Malcolm’s face turned cold, but he remained silent.
Nora sensed something fishy and quickly came up with a plan: “How about this,
Malcolm? You go to the hospital first. Your health is important. Later, David, Joseph,
Sophia, and I can take a taxi back. We won’t trouble Mr. Mateo.”
Chapter 110 Intentions
Malcolm had no objections. “Since you’ve said so, then let’s do that. I’ll leave first.”
David wasn’t too happy about him leaving early, but since Malcolm claimed it was due
to his health, he couldn’t do anything about it. However, his face darkened.
Nora said gently, “Alright, alright. You should go to the hospital quickly. Let Sophial
accompany you, or else we won’t feel at ease with you driving alone. I’ll go find Joseph.
He’s always been attached to me since he was young, so if I go find him, he’ll come out

In this way, David became even more unwilling. “Nora, don’t always shoulder everything
yourself! Are all these young people not feeling well? Should an elder like me be the one.
to do all the work? Young people nowadays are really outrageous!”
Nora smiled gently. “They are all busy; we as elders should understand them.”
“Understand? What I understand is that my son is missing, and now none of them want
to go find him.” David slammed the table in anger. “Forget it; this is the first time we
meet, and I don’t want to make the situation too tense. If Malcolm needs to see a
doctor, let Mr. Mateo accompany him. Just in case he faints, Sophia won’t be able to

David implied that Sherry should go find him. Sherry had objections.

However, David was still worried that his son wouldn’t want to go out with Sherry, so he
instructed Sophia, “Sophia, you go with them. You have to coax Joseph and praise him.
Once he’s happy, he will come out with you.”
Sophia didn’t have any objections this time. As long as Malcolm wasn’t with Sherry, she
didn’t care.
“Okay, Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely find Joseph.”
David let out a sigh of relief. “Great, you’re such a good girl. I feel at ease with your
words.”
Sophia smiled obediently and approached Sherry. “Shall we enter together?”
Sherry nodded and responded, “Let’s go.”
