Chapter 162
When Sherry arrived at Starbucks at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, Sophia was already
seated inside.
Her prediction was correct. When it came to the divorce, Sophia had no choice but to
plead with her.
Suddenly, someone pulled her arm from behind.
“Sherry…”
Sherry was startled and turned around to see Malcolm.
He was still dressed in formal attire, obviously having just come out of the company.
“It’s hot outside.” Sherry gestured toward the coffee shop. “Let’s go in and talk.”
Malcolm had already noticed Sophia sitting by the window. “Did you invite her here?”
Yes. Sherry nodded: “This matter concerns all three of us, so it’s better for all of us to

be present and clarify things. Let’s go.”
With the sound of wind chimes, Sherry pushed open the door of Starbucks, and they
could feel the cool breeze.
Sophia had already seen her and also noticed Malcolm following behind her, offering
his assistance by pulling out a chair.
“You… came together?”

Sherry didn’t beat around the bush and sat down opposite Sophia. “We coincidentally
met at the entrance. Have you ordered anything?”
Sophia’s expression wasn’t pleasant. “No, I’m pregnant and can’t drink coffee.“”
“Right, Sherry signaled for the waiter to come over. “Please bring us two cups of hot
milk. What would Mr. Ford like to drink?”
Malcolm’s mind was not focused on drinking. He randomly ordered a beverage and
waved his hand for the waiter to leave first.

“Sherry, do you know how many calls I made? After you sent that message, you turned
off your phone. Do you know how worried I was?”
Malcolm still hadn’t recovered from the shock of that text message.
In Sherry’s message, she mentioned that she wanted ten million dollars and asked him
to prepare the money. They were to meet at Starbucks at 2 p.m.
Malcolm asked, “Does your uncle need money again? Or did you encounter some
difficulties yourself?”
Sherry glanced at him. “Are you unwilling to give?”
“It’s not that I’m unwilling. If you need money, of course, I will give it to you. I just want
to know what happened to you.”
“I have nothing going on; I’m doing well,” Sherry said softly. “I’ve thought about it, we won’t get a divorce, and you won’t be able to marry Sophia. Since we’re getting a divorce, the assets have to be divided. We’ve been married for four years, and all the money earned by the Ford Group belongs to the marital property. I don’t know the exact

amount, and I don’t want to know. I just want ten million dollars. Give me the money
and I’ll immediately sign the divorce papers without any further delay.”
After hearing these words, both Sophia and Malcolm were taken aback.

Sherry had mentioned getting a divorce before, but she always said she didn’t want any
money. Now, she suddenly asked for ten million dollars?
Malcolm had a suspicion in his mind: “Is it the masked man who gave you this idea?”
“It has nothing to do with him.”
“Hah! Isn’t he very rich? Hmm? Does he lack this ten million dollars? Letting a woman
ask for it, I really look down on him.”
Sherry remained calm and composed. She spoke in a very rational manner: “I’ve said it before; this is a matter between the three of us. Since Sophia is here today, I’ll be more straightforward. Either of you, whoever gives me ten million dollars, I’ll immediately sign
the divorce papers. Otherwise, none of us will have a good life, and I can drag this on for decades

“It’s impossible,” Malcolm immediately rejected. “I won’t get a divorce, and I won’t give
the money to some random man.‘

something to attend to, so I’ll leave first. You two… take your time to chat.”

Sherry stood up, turned around gracefully, and put the money on the front desk. “Check,
thank you.”
“Um, miss, I haven’t given you the change yet.”
Sherry had already walked out the door.
Outside, the scorching sun was shining, but Sherry’s heart burned even hotter.
This was the first step in her revenge. In the past, she could have let Sophia off the
hook, only hoping to never have any contact with her for the rest of her life. But her
mother’s death made it impossible for her to stay out of it.
Nora, Sophia, David–all those who owed her and her mother–none of them could
escape.
In the corner of her eye, she saw Malcolm chasing after her.
Sherry waved her hand to stop a taxi, slammed the door shut, and left without looking back

Would Malcolm and Sophia get married?
Well, that depends on the abilities of Nora and Sophia, but it’s not within her
consideration.

Soon that night, Sherry received a call from Sophia. “I can gather ten million for you, but
I can’t come up with that much money all at once. I can give you three hundred
thousand first, and the rest.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sophia, I don’t accept installments,” Sherry said. “Either you prepare ten
million and bring a divorce agreement to talk to me, or keep your mouth shut.”
Sophia suppressed her anger and replied, “How am I supposed to come up with that
much money in such a short time? You have to give me some time, right?”
“That’s your problem,” Sherry said coldly. “Sophia, I have already given you the
opportunity to marry into the Ford family. If you provoke me again, I dare say I will never
divorce for the rest of my life. Don’t believe me? Try me.
Sophia was so furious that her heart felt like it was about to burst, but she still

restrained herself. “Fine, I’ll gather the money. I’ll do it now. I hope you keep your word.”
Sherry hung up the phone abruptly.
Mr. Sniper took the phone from her hand and casually tossed it aside. “Have you made
your decision?”
Sherry turned around in his arms. “Yes.”
“Excellent,” Mr. Sniper remarked. “You focus on seeking revenge, and I’ll handle my
business. If you require any assistance, do let me know, and please be cautious,
alright?”
Sherry took a deep breath and nodded. “I comprehend.”
‘Good girl.”
“Mr. Sniper…”
