Chapter 138
This time, Malcolm finally understood her intentions. First, she convinced him to have a
wedding, then made him acknowledge the position of Sophia’s child in her belly, and
finally, she forced him to divorce Sherry and then register with Sophia.
Malcolm shook his head and chuckled. “Mrs. Wilson, why don’t you come work at my
company? Your negotiation skills are amazing. If you join the Ford Group, the company
will definitely thrive.”
Nora pretended not to understand, but she could also grasp Malcolm’s current
intentions. He still didn’t want to divorce Sherry.
Having a wedding was just for the convenience of exerting public opinion pressure on
him in the future. But once they obtained the marriage certificate, half of the Ford
family’s assets would truly belong to Sophia. There would be no room for argument
even if the lawsuit went to the capital.
Malcolm was not foolish either. He stubbornly refused to divorce, and Nora temporarily
had no solution. But it was alright, as she was best at enduring.

She had endured by David’s side for over a decade, and this time would be no different.
There would always be a way to find an opportunity.
She knew that it’s not wise to force men. The more they were pressured, the more
rebellious they became.
Nora stood up and said, “I’m quite old myself and still have to take care of Joseph. I’m
afraid I can’t look after you two anymore. It’s getting late; you and Sophia should go to
bed early. I’ll go downstairs and check on David and Joseph.”
“Okay, Mrs. Wilson, be careful on the stairs.”
“Alright, take care.”
The game between the future mother–in–law and son–in–law ultimately ended with Nora
taking a step back.
However, Nora also gained something. At least the wedding was settled, and the Ford
family had also accepted this child. She was already halfway successful.

It was late at night, and the stars outside the window twinkled. Through a layer of
clouds, the faint moonlight shone in.
Sherry lay by the window, still reminiscing about the phone call just now. She used to
think that Mr. Sniper had hidden a lot from her, but that phone call just now reassured
her. Mr. Sniper announced her identity to the company employees. Did that mean that
he was prepared for their future?
“Can’t sleep?” She could feel his lips tickling her and then his warm breath on her neck.
Sherry turned her head slightly, avoiding his lips. “I just feel a little happy.”
“Hmm?” Mr. Sniper caught up with her and lightly bit her neck, leaving a red mark. “Now
the whole internet is praising your beauty, overshadowing Malcolm and Christopher. Are you feeling pleased?”
Sherry glared at him. “Not at all. I’m not a celebrity; why would I care about fame?”
“Your news has overshadowed Sophia’s deliberate media coverage. You’ve trampled all over her efforts, aren’t you happy?”
“Um, now that you mention it, I guess I am quite happy,” Sherry pouted, tucking her hair
to one side and tilting her head to look at him. “But honestly, I feel indifferent now.
Sophia has always loved being in the spotlight, but she can’t boast much. Her
academic performance and appearance are not as good as mine. I didn’t think much of
it before, but now that you mention it, I realize how fortunate I am. I effortlessly
obtained what she dreams of having. No wonder she hates me so much.”
Mr. Sniper nodded, his fingers circling her long hair. “People will always be jealous of
someone better than them. Your excellence is the cause of envy and hatred.”
Sherry asked in return, “Can I ask you a few questions?”
“Hmm, go ahead.”
“The thing you’ve been talking about, is it related to the scar on your face?”
Mr. Sniper gave her a definite answer. “Like you, I didn’t realize how important it was to
hide one’s talents at the time, so I suffered harm from others. I deeply understand the terrifying nature of human hearts and fear that you will suffer the same fate.
Unfortunately, no matter how cautious I am, I couldn’t prevent Sophia’s bad intentions.”

Sherry turned around and nestled in his arms, whispering, “It’s okay, I don’t intend to
compete with her. Mr. Sniper, I’m actually content with the current situation. It’s good
enough that she and Malcolm are happily together and no longer appear in my life.”
“It has nothing to do with me.
“Of course it does. It’s because you’re by my side that I feel satisfied with this kind of
life.. If my uncle could recover, that would be the best.”

Mr. Sniper gently kissed will.”
“I believe in you.”
“It’s not enough to believe in me. You should believe in the doctor’s medical skills.”
Sherry said, “I should trust you because you also hired the doctor.” “And there’s another
question: is your scar related to Malcolm?”
This question seemed to make Mr. Sniper a little hesitant.

He thought for a moment and explained it in a different way. “It’s not directly related to
Malcolm, but my face looking like this and the turbulent life I’ve had are inseparable
from him.”
Sherry nodded. “I understand. That’s why you wanted to hide your identity from me at
the beginning. You’re actually a rival of the Ford family, right? I understand the improper
competition between companies.”
Mr. Sniper chuckled lightly. He didn’t want to explain too much. Well, he let her think
that way.
“By the way, Sherry, I can’t go in person. If you’re free tomorrow, go and meet Camila’s
father.”
Sherry had this plan as well, and she nodded. “I was just about to tell you. Considering
the seriousness of the matter, I think it’s better to inform Mr. Castillo.”
“And also, please pass on a message for me. Tell him that I’m grateful to Camila for accompanying you during this period. After this project is completed, I don’t want a penny of the shopping center’s income. It should all go to the Castillo family.”

Sherry widened her eyes. “Are you… crazy? Isn’t this gratitude gift a bit too much?”
“Not at all,” Mr. Sniper said. “The Castillo family is good, and they are connected to you.
I’m just casually giving them some profits, which won’t fundamentally affect me. Don’t
worry, I’ve earned enough money to support you for a hundred lifetimes.”
Sherry playfully pouted. “Being together for a hundred lifetimes is too long. Even you
would get tired of it, right?”
Mr. Sniper’s face contorted with displeasure. “Didn’t you talk about having faith in me?”
“A hundred lifetime
is way too long. We should prioritize making the most of this
present life,” Sherry remarked. “Mr. Sniper, may I have the privilege of caressing your
face once more? I want to remember how you look.”
