Chapter 111
Before leaving, Sherry turned around and noticed that David was still sulking, while
Nora was gesturing to Sophia, as if she had something important to tell her.
Sherry became a little cautious. This time, Malcolm was not present, and Sophia had
received guidance from Nora. It seemed that they were scheming against her.
She received a text from Mr. Sniper all of a sudden. “Stay away from Sophia.” Sherry
glanced at it and silently remembered the message before putting her phone away.

Sophia also noticed her action of looking at the phone and said, “Sherry, you are quite
charming. Mr. Mateo just left, and he texted you already.”
Sherry gave her a disdainful look and said it indifferently. “You’re being too nosy.”
Sophia lowered her head, looked at her own stomach, and said in a friendly tone,
“Sherry, I was too impulsive in the haunted house earlier, and I didn’t treat you well. I
apologize to you.”

“No need; I don’t need your apology.” Sherry became alert. Sophia was just hysterical
and then suddenly admitted her mistake, and she knew there must be something else
behind it.

Sophia’s attitude seemed to have made a complete turnaround. Although her eyes.
were still red, she seemed like she was giving in: “Sherry, all women are the same.
When a woman’s partner is not loyal, she will definitely lose control of her emotions.
And I’m pregnant, so my temper has been a bit irritable recently. I’m trying my best to
control it, but sometimes I still lose it. Sherry, I don’t expect you to forgive me for
whatever happened. I just want to ask you: can you stay away from Malcolm? Whether
it’s Mr. Mateo or your masked boyfriend, they are a hundred or a thousand times more
important to you than Malcolm, right?”
So, was this her true intention? Sherry did not fully believe her. “You may think Malcolm
is precious, but that’s only in your heart. I’m not interested in him. Besides, I want to
emphasize again that now that you have a powerful stepfather and an additional
younger brother, your family of four should be happy together. In the future, Uncle Noah
has nothing to do with you and your mother; don’t come and disturb him.”
Sophia smiled and said nothing.

As they entered the haunted house again, both of them had already adapted to the
eerie atmosphere and dim lighting, and they no longer felt scared as they did at the
beginning.

However, Sophia was wearing high heels, and the path here was not particularly
smooth. She walked unsteadily, while Sherry focused on searching for mechanisms
and occasionally heard Sophia’s exclamations.
“Sherry.”
Sherry ignored her.
“Are you pregnant too? Do you have severe morning sickness? Lately, I have to vomit
every morning when I wake up, and I feel nauseous when I smell gasoline or the smell
of shrimp.”
Sherry had already walked to the front, where the vampire theme room was, and started
searching attentively.
Sophia continued chattering behind her, but Sherry completely ignored her. So it

seemed as if she was talking to herself.

After a while, Sophia realized that Sherry didn’t want to engage with her and found it.
pointless, so she gradually kept quiet.
“Waaa…” The sound of crying came again.
Sophia was startled, and she rushed forward to grab Sherry’s hand, refusing to let go.
She looked terrified and said, “Sherry, did you hear that? Someone was crying just now.”
Sophia held on too tightly. She tried many times but couldn’t break free.
“How can I find the exit like this? If I don’t find the exit, how can I find your younger
brother? Sophia, can you stand properly?”
Her tone was stern, and Sophia became a bit timid. “Sherry, you know I’ve been afraid of
the dark since I was little.”
Sherry forcefully shook her off; she was annoyed. “Then you should leave. Don’t cause
trouble for me here.”

“No, my mom asked me to come in and find Joseph. I can’t leave.”
“Then you better shut your mouth!” Sherry pointed to the lights in the corner of the wall.
“If you’re afraid of the dark, go stand over there. Don’t move until I’m back.”
“No,” Sophia said, hugging Sherry’s arm. “Sherry, I feel safer with you. In case a ghost or
something appears, we can take care of each other.”
Sherry closed her eyes and forcefully suppressed the anger that had already built up.
Mr. Sniper was right in his warning. Regardless of whether Sophia had any intentions of
causing trouble in this dimly lit place, she was definitely a foolish person who was more
likely to mess things up than to succeed!
Her phone rang. Sherry felt the vibration in her pocket and impatiently said, “Let go; 1
need to answer the phone.”
Sophia smirked cunningly. “Is it Mr. Mateo again?”
“It’s none of your business.”

Sherry dodged her and walked to the corner to answer the call. “Hello?”
“Sherry, it’s me. From now on, don’t speak. Just listen to what I say. If you understand,
just make a sound.”
Sherry recognized his voice. “Mm.”
Mr. Sniper continued, “My people just found a clue. During the time Sophia was with
Malcolm, she also had a relationship with another man. So the child in her belly may
not necessarily be Malcolm’s. Perhaps she just wanted to use this child to successfully
marry into the Ford family. If that’s the case, she won’t allow this child to be born safely
and will definitely find a way to ‘miscarry‘ it. And you, you are the best scapegoat.”
After listening, Sherry’s heart sank.
Malcolm had oligospermia; the chances of him impregnating a woman were very slim.
So the child in Sophia’s belly… It was very likely not Malcolm’s!
Sherry shivered as she thought of it. They were the only two individuals left in the eerie
house. If Sophia were to have a miscarriage in this place, Sherry would be the sole

suspect. There were no witnesses present, and as long as Sophia insisted that Sherry
was responsible, her name would never be cleared!
Mr. Sniper purposefully paused, allowing her to digest the news.
He then continued, “Has she been deliberately attempting to get closer to you?”
“Yes…

“While it’s uncertain if that’s her intention, you still need to exercise caution. Nora is not
someone to be taken lightly. With her presence, Sophia seems to be smarter.”
