Step by step, Sherry’s plan was unfolding as intended.
The outcome remained the same, except that instead of Sophia, it was Nora who
arrived when they agreed to deliver ten million dollars.
Nora still wore exquisite and elegant makeup with valuable jewelry adorning her neck,
wrists, and earlobes. She was dressed in a dark blue silk dress, exuding nobility and
luxury.
At that moment, Sherry sat by the window in the coffee shop, observing her.
Nora seemed to be observing Sherry as well. She suddenly smiled and said, “You bear a
striking resemblance to your mother.”
“Of course, a biological mother and daughter naturally share similarities,” Sherry replied.
“Mrs. Wilson, did you come here today to talk to me about something?”
Nora calmly caressed the bracelet on her wrist. With the shrewdness and steadiness

that came from years of experience, she went straight to the point: “That foolish girl

dollars?”
After listening, Sherry’s smile faded slightly. “How did Mrs. Wilson know that I don’t
really want the money?”
“Because you don’t need the money,” Nora replied. “If you want money, you can directly
ask Malcolm, and he will give it to you. By asking for money in front of Sophia, aren’t you?
clearly making her pay for you?”
Finally, she encountered someone of higher intelligence. Sherry felt that she didn’t need
to put too much effort into speaking.
She gently stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon and smiled lightly. “Yes, you’re
right, I just want Sophia to be left empty–handed.”
Now’s face tumed cold. “Unfortunately, I’m here now, and I won’t let your scheme

succeed.”
“It’s not necessarily,” Sherry said casually. “Mrs. Wilson, let’s wait and see.”
“You don’t want the money?”
Sherry replied, “As you said, I don’t need the money.”
Nora took a deep breath and asked solemnly, “Then what do you want? Sherry, what is
your goal? Are you seeking revenge on Sophia?”
Sherry remained silent and turned her head to look outside the window. “Mrs. Wilson,
does David know that you came to see me today?”
“This is something between us women; there’s no need for him to know,” Nora
chuckled.
“Then let’s handle it the way women do,” Sherry suggested.
“Sherry, being too impulsive is the last thing you should do. What can you achieve by
retaliating against Sophia? She can’t marry Malcolm, and I won’t let you off easily either,
Chapter 163 Let’s Wat And See
Why make it a lose–lose situation? How about we both take a step back and avoid
further conflicts?” Nora proposed.
“What does Mrs. Wilson plan to do?” Sherry asked.
“I’ve heard that you have excellent academic achievements,” Nora said. “I’ve lived
abroad for many years and have some connections. Choose a good school, and I’ll take
care of everything for you. You can go abroad to study and live a wonderful life. Isn’t
that much better than dwelling on this matter?”

Sherry burst into laughter. “Mrs. Wilson, I have to say, Sophia is actually quite similar to
you.”
“What do you mean?” Nora asked.
“You’re both childish.” Sherry’s eyes sharpened. “Nora, my mother’s death is partly your
fault. I not only want Sophia to lose everything, but I also want you to suffer endlessly
for the sake of my mother’s spirit to rest in peace.”
Nora’s eyes widened in shock for a few seconds before she suddenly laughed. “Your

was you, not me.”

“Is that so?” Sherry smiled. “Save that for David. Mrs. Wilson, I’ll say it again. If it was
just me being wronged, I might endure it. But if it involves my mother, I won’t easily let
you and your daughter off. We still have a long way to go. I hope you don’t disappoint
me.”
Nora’s face turned pale. “What do you know?”
“What should I know?” Sherry said. “To keep something unknown, one must not do it
themselves. The truth will eventually come to light. Also, are you not planning to give
me the ten million anymore?”
Nora squeezed her handbag, inside of which she laid a bank card quietly.
“Sherry.” Nora’s tone softened as she took out a bank card from her bag and placed it
on the table, pushing it toward her. “Take your time to think about it; don’t make
impulsive decisions. Seeking revenge for your parents is something out of a novel. Your mother is your mother, and you are you. It’s not worth sacrificing your whole life for

someone who has already passed away. Now that you have a child, you wouldn’t want
your child to go down the path of revenge, right? I am your elder, after all. Take this ten
million, even if it’s for the sake of your child. Think about it carefully.”
Sherry deftly took the bank card from her hand and held it between her fingertips,
looking at it. “Thank you, Mrs. Wilson, for your generous offer. My child will not go down
the path of revenge.”
Because all grievances would be dealt with and justice would be sought.
Leaving the coffee shop, she hailed a taxi directly to Morgan Entertainment.
Christopher had a concert tonight, and she still had work to do. Christopher’s team had
been busy preparing for tonight’s concert, and Lily was no exception. Even Camila was
running errands busily.
Seeing her arrival, Camila hurried over. “Why are you here so early? You could have
come later. Makeup is the final step, and it’s the same whether you do it at the venue or

Camila worried about her overworking while pregnant, so she had already talked to Lily
about it, and Lily also understood Sherry’s condition and didn’t demand too much.
Sherry nodded. “Is Mr. Morgan in his office?”
“Yes, do you have something to discuss with Maverick?”
Sherry nodded. “It’s good that he’s there.”
There was something she needed Maverick’s help with later.
Sherry handed the bank card to Camila and instructed her, “Here’s ten million. Take it
back and give it to Mr. Castillo. Ask him to recruit David.”
Camila’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wow, Mr. Sniper is so generous. He’s giving away
ten million just like that.”
It’s not his money, it’s Sophia’s money,” Sherry clarified amidst the complex details of
the story and the ticking clock. She couldn’t delve into every aspect. “David is someone
who highly values his reputation. Please remember to ask Mr. Castillo to arrange a
grand ceremony, the more extravagant, the better. Also, ensure that David is the main
designer for the shopping mall project.”
Camila nodded in understanding. “Understood. I will immediately contact my father.
Sherry, are you trying to show support for David? If that’s the case, I will also reach out
to Maverick and extend invitations to the celebrities managed by him. Let’s go all out
and organize an unforgettable event!”
