Chapter 113
As Sophia was forcefully lifted onto a stretcher and escorted out of the haunted house
by several staff members, Sherry finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her phone call was still ongoing.
Mr. Sniper chuckled. “Ms. Wilson, have you ever considered joining Morgan
Entertainment for your career?”
Sherry blinked. “What do you mean?”
“Your acting skills are exceptional. If you become an actress, your future will be
limitless.”
Sherry pouted, “You’re just teasing me.”
“I wouldn’t dare,” Mr. Sniper said. “I’m just glad that the brave and strong Sherry has
finally returned.”
Sherry sighed. Before marrying Malcolm, she used to be like that.

She shouldered all the responsibilities at home, working multiple jobs to support the
family and take care of Sophia, who was living abroad. She had to handle everything,
from cooking and cleaning to washing and rinsing.

After all, her uncle was somewhat careless in many aspects. Being a man, he didn’t
take on as much responsibility as she did. She had to take on more than half of the
responsibilities to ensure that their struggling little family could continue to live a stable
life.
During that time, she was truly strong and independent.
“Is it because I lack femininity?” She remembered what Malcolm had just said, and she
somewhat felt hurt. “I’m not like Sophia, who knows how to be cute and charming and
can make men unable to resist temptation.”
“You don’t need to, Sherry. You’re fine just the way you are now. It’s just that the four
years in the Ford family have worn away your original strength and confidence, making
you obedient. I feel sorry for you.”
Sherry held the phone and walked slowly along the path in front of her, uncertain about

what the next scene would be. But with his voice, her heart seemed to find solace.
Keeping one’s partner accompanied was the most important thing in a relationship.
And she only truly understood the feeling now.
“Mr. Sniper, the woman you like… do I know her?”
Since he had been paying attention to her for a long time, could that woman in his
heart have any connection to her life?
Mr. Sniper gave her a definite answer: “You could say that.”
“Is she my classmate? Or a colleague from when I was working?”
“Sherry…” Mr. Sniper smiled helplessly and asked, “What are you suspecting? Camila?”
Sherry was taken aback. “I’m not.”

Mr. Sniper’s voice remained consistently gentle. “All I can say is that Maverick is a very
important friend of mine. He has always had feelings for Camila. I won’t–betray my

friend like this. Do you understand what I mean? Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Sherry felt a little embarrassed. “Mr. Sniper, I wasn’t trying to test your intentions. I just
thought… Among the girls I know, only Camila has been engaged, and you also
mentioned that the woman you like has found her place.”
“It’s not Camila,” he answered firmly this time. “Sherry, my identity cannot be revealed
yet. There are many things I need to explain to you, but they all depend on my identity

being disclosed. I can only tell you that once I reveal everything to you, you will
understand the reasons behind my actions.”
Sherry fell silent for a moment and then said, “Hmm. I was overthinking.”
“It’s not a bad thing to think too much. I can be your support for a lifetime, but I hope
you can be the best version of yourself too.”
“Waaa…” Crying sounds came from nearby again, and this time she could clearly hear
that they were much closer.
“Have you found Joseph?” Mr. Sniper also heard it.

Sherry became serious. “I’m not sure if it’s him yet.”

Mr. Sniper whispered, “Dealing with such a self–righteous brat, the most important thing
is to make him submit to you. Only when he submits to you will he listen to what you
say and stop his malicious behavior toward you.”
“I understand.”
After ending the call, Sherry used her mobile phone to illuminate the surroundings and
continued to move forward in the direction of the crying sound.
Soon, she arrived at the third room of the haunted house. It was set in a graveyard, with
numerous tombstones around. The crying was coming from a tombstone in the corner.
Sherry tentatively called out, “Joseph?”
The crying stopped for a moment.
“Is that you?” Sherry slowly approached and gradually saw a glimpse of Joseph’s
clothes.

He was wearing a dark blue tracksuit today; it was undoubtedly him.
“You go away, you ugly freak! I don’t want you; I want my dad; I want my mom!”
Joseph slapped away Sherry’s hand and shouted loudly, “Get lost! Get out of here! It’s
all because of you! I’m going to tell my dad and have him kill you!”
He seemed to have suffered a significant shock, showing signs of a mental breakdown.
His speech was unclear and disoriented.
The mischievous child now appeared helpless. He could only rely on his instincts to
assess the situation before him. In his heart, he trusted only his parents.
Sherry let out a sigh and decided not to push him any further. She silently stood by,
waiting for him to vent his emotions.
After almost half an hour, Joseph’s crying gradually subsided. He must have been
exhausted, lacking the strength to continue his tantrum.
Rubbing his eyes, his gaze filled with resentment, he said, “Did you come here on

purpose to mock me? You must be delighted to see me so scared, right?”
Sherry sat on the wall not far from him, her tone gentle and calm. “Why would I be
delighted?”

“Just because… because I just pushed you toward the female ghost and fled… because
I’ve always called you an ugly freak… You must hate me so much, don’t you?”
Joseph’s voice grew weaker. “I don’t need you to care about me. Just leave me alone!”
Sherry took a deep breath. “Do you speak to others like this too?”
“I told you, it’s none of your business!”
“Do you have the energy to argue with me? Fine, keep insulting me for a while longer.
When you’re too tired to continue and can speak properly, we can talk.”
Her gentle approach infuriated Joseph. He had been trapped in this place for a
considerable amount of time and was unable to escape. Even if he desired to locate his
parents to express his grievances, he had to seek her assistance first in order to leave.

Furthermore, he had an innate sense that this woman did not have any malicious.
intentions toward him.
Trembling, he cautiously peeked out from behind the tombstone. “Are you truly not here
to ridicule me?”
Sherry gave him a disdainful glance. “What would I gain from mocking you?”
“I have always bullied you. Seeing me in such a wretched state, you should be pleased,
right?”
“With all this time on my hands, wouldn’t I be happier engaging in other activities.

suffer in this eerie, haunted house?”
