dutiful upper–class housewife.

Sherry was a bit disappointed. She had thought Nora would at least put up a fight, but
she had accepted it without resistance.
This was unlike her.
“Camila, I’m going to the restroom.”
Camila nodded. “Do you want me to accompany you?”
“No need,” Sherry said. “I can go by myself.”
Camila reminded her, “Be careful. There are a lot of people here today.”
“Okay

Sherry lifted her skirt and walked toward the restroom.
There weren’t as many people as she had imagined.
While washing her hands, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the mirror,
dressed in a purplish–red outfit.
She smiled and tied her hair behind her ears. “Mrs. Wilson, do you have something to
say to me?”

Nora locked the restroom door behind her and stood in front of Sherry. “Sherry, why do
you have to do this? Destructing each other is the worst outcome.”
“What does Mrs. Wilson plan to do to me? I’m all ears.”
Nora’s gaze swept over her eyebrows and eyes, slowly descending to her still–flat
abdomen. “You’re about to become a mother soon. You should have a broader mind, or
it will affect the baby. Sherry, how about we both take a step back?”
Nora clearly came with a negotiation plan, and Sherry was quite interested in hearing
Chapter 166 Depending On One’s Skills
her proposal.
“How does Mrs. Wilson plan to step back?”

Nora smiled and said, “Consider that ten million as compensation from us to you.
Whether it’s property division in a divorce or mental compensation, ten million is not a
small amount. You used it to scheme against us, and we accept it. Sophia has made
mistakes before, so let this ten million be her apology to you. As for how Sophia and
Malcolm develop in the future, whether they separate or stay together, please don’t
interfere, okay?”
After listening, Sherry couldn’t help but give Nora a thumbs up in her mind. This tactic
of turning defense into offense was truly impressive.
On the surface, she said that she and Sophia had suffered a lot, but in her heart, she
had calculated everything. As long as she didn’t interfere, she was confident that
Malcolm would marry Sophia.
But she didn’t care about all of this.
Chapter 166 Depending On One’s Skills
“Mrs. Wilson, I don’t want to have any more involvement with Malcolm and your
daughter. They can do whatever they want, and I won’t interfere anymore.” Nora smiled
faintly.
“With your words, I can rest assured. Let’s settle it this way, and we won’t interfere with
each other in the future,” Mrs. Wilson replied.
“Wait!” Sherry called out to her. “Mrs. Wilson, haven’t you also caused some trouble?
The incident of Sophia stealing my husband has been resolved, but what about you
stealing my mother’s husband?”
Nora’s expression changed. “Sherry, you don’t know the specifics of the older
generation’s affairs. Besides, if your father still had feelings for your mother, how could I
have stolen him?”
“Because, Mrs. Wilson, you have a cunning and eloquent tongue!” Sherry retorted.
“Let’s not talk about the older generation for now. What about me? Sophia also stole my
father. Is Mrs. Wilson planning to let it go like this?”
At this moment, Nora also understood that Sherry would never give up this time.
Chapter 166 Depending On One’s Skills
Not only was she prepared, but Sherry was also prepared.
She used that ten million to make David betray the Ford family and join the Castillo
family. Not only did she make her suffer a loss, but she also knew that Sherry would
come back to negotiate with her, so she had been waiting for her in the restroom!
Nora forced a bitter smile. “The new generation always surpasses the old, huh? Fine,
tell me, what do you want?”
“I want everything to go back to the way it should be. I want David to acknowledge me
as his daughter.”
Nora’s expression changed. “Although David seems to have a good financial condition
on the surface, as you know, he cares about his reputation and spends money
recklessly. In reality, he doesn’t have much wealth. Otherwise, why would I have gone to
such lengths to help Sophia marry into the Ford family? Sherry, you should have a
broader perspective. Your father’s assets are not as much as you think.”
My goal was never about wealth. I’ve told you before that I don’t lack money I just
want to fulfill my mother’s wish. She risked her life to give birth to me, and I must go

back to my original family and honor my mother’s spirit in heaven.”
Nora remained silent.
And she waited for Nora’s answer.
“Sherry, do you really want to know what happened between your father and mother
back then? I can tell you.”

“No need,” Sherry refused outright. “I only believe in the truth. Mrs. Wilson’s eloquence
is better used to please David. I wonder, between saving face and flattering you, who
will he choose?”
Someone knocked on the door outside.
“Huh, why is the door to the women’s restroom locked? Is it under maintenance?”
“No way, there are so many people today, when do they ever do maintenance at a time
like this?
gs there someone inside?

“Let’s go find a staff member to open the door.”

Before the words could finish, the door to the women’s restroom was pulled open from
the inside.
Sherry smiled and apologized gently. “Sorry, the lady inside had… personal matters to
attend to, so she locked the door. The restroom is not under maintenance and can be
used normally.”
A crowd had already gathered outside, clearly having waited for quite some time.
Upon hearing this, they all exploded. ‘Personal matters? If you have personal matters,
find a place for yourself. Why occupy a public space?”
Sherry raised her eyebrows and turned to Nora. “Mrs. Wilson, please don’t do this in the
future. Look at how many people you’ve inconvenienced.”
Mrs. Wilson?
Today was the welcome banquet for David, the esteemed master. The only person who

“How can someone so uncivilized be David’s wife? David is so refined, easygoing, and
talented. How did he end up with a woman of such low quality?”
The group murmured and whispered as they walked in.
Nora was trapped inside and unable to leave, while Sherry had already completed her
business and departed.
She had already offended Nora, and this conflict had already commenced. Whoever
had greater abilities would win.

Paul held a wine glass, symbolizing the significance of David’s presence to him. He
turned to Mr. Wilson and inquired, “Excuse me, whom are you looking for? Shall I seek
assistance from security?”
“Oh, my wife was with me a moment ago. I wonder where she went?”
