“Why aren’t you saying anything?” His voice sounded slightly anxious. “Did something
happen?”
Sherry replied, “Nothing happened, Mr. Sniper. I just…missed you a little.”
There was an audible sound of breathing on the other end of the line. His breathing.
became slightly faster.
His voice also changed. “Sherry, do you want to give up? I can take you away
immediately.”

Sherry did want to leave. Being with Mr. Sniper, her days were fulfilling and happy.
Cooking every day, looking forward to the birth of their child. Mr. Sniper had paved a
smooth path for her, and as long as she followed it step by step, their future lives would
surely be safe and joyful.

to face the consequences they deserve.”
Mr. Sniper softly murmured, then chuckled, “After all these years, you’re still the
determined and undefeated Sherry.”

“I’m actually not that determined. I’m actually very vulnerable. I even endured Violet’s
mistreatment for four whole years.”

“That’s not vulnerability; that’s kindness,” Mr. Sniper said. “It’s because you respect your
elders and don’t want to confront them. But, Sherry, you have to understand that there
are good and bad people in this world. Bad people can be old or young; not all elders
are kind and friendly, especially not your father or Violet.”
Sherry forced a bitter smile. “Love and kindness sometimes depend on who they’re
directed towards. David was heartless towards me and my mother, but he had a soft
spot for Joseph and even had some affection for Sophia. As for Violet, she truly dotes
on Malcolm.”
Dates on him?”

“Yes, she only has one precious son left after her husband passed away early, so she
treats Malcolm with special importance. She has spoiled him to the point where he’s
become arrogant and unruly.”
“Is he as arrogant as Mateo?”

“Not the same,” Sherry said. “Mateo is a bit spoiled, but he’s reasonable and upright.
Malcolm is different. He wants to pursue me while still refusing to give up on Sophia, all
because Sophia can help him win over David. If it were Mateo, he would never do
something like that.”
Mr. Sniper clasped his hands and held his phone. “Sherry, while my people were
monitoring Gianna in Farelo, they also saw Mateo. He has been to Gianna’s clinic more
than once.
Sherry was shocked. “What?”
“We can’t be sure if they actually know each other or what their relationship is. My
people are investigating, but it will take some time,” Mr. Sniper said. “I have also had
contact with Mateo, and he doesn’t seem like someone who plays games. My intuition

tells me that he might be investigating the incident where you were falsely accused of
infertility and traced it back to Gianna.”
Sherry was stunned. Recently, Camila asked about Mateo, and she only knew that he
had gone abroad. She never expected him to be investigating Gianna.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knocking sound at the door.
Joseph’s voice could be heard from outside: “Why are you making noise so late at
night? Can’t you let people sleep?”
Joseph couldn’t sleep, and David would definitely be angry. Sherry had no choice but to
lower her voice and say, “Um, I won’t say anything for now. Why don’t you rest in the car
for a while?”
Mr. Sniper could hear some noise from the other end of the phone, knowing that
something was happening on her side. He responded, “Okay.”

After hanging up, Sherry quickly returned to bed and lay quietly, not making a sound.
Soon, Joseph couldn’t resist the temptation of sleepiness and went back to bed.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
In a daze, she suddenly saw a shadow flash before her eyes.
She was already a light sleeper and instantly became fully awake.
The door was locked and blocked by several pieces of furniture, so it was impossible.
for anyone to enter the room through the bedroom door.
Since it wasn’t the door, the only remaining passage in the room was the window.
She had always kept the window open without closing or locking it.
At this moment, the only person who could climb into her bedroom through the window
was Sophia.
two rooms were adjacent to each other, with a shared balcony connecting them,

making it convenient for her to come over.
Sherry held her breath and listened carefully for any movement.
Sure enough, there were some faint sounds near the window and footsteps, and
seemed like there was more than one person!

Sherry focused her senses and roughly estimated the distance between Sophia and the
edge of the bed.
Suddenly, Sherry sat up, quickly got out of bed, and stood by the bedside.
Under the dim yellow light, Sophia was seen holding a bottle of transparent liquid,
preparing to approach her bed. However, she was startled by Sherry’s sudden
movement.
Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Sherry quickly–moved the sofa to the
door, creating a small gap.
The sofa’s feet scraped against the tiled floor, producing a loud and unpleasant sound.

“You’re not asleep?” Sophia calmed down and smirked with resentment.

Sherry leaned against the door, watching her cautiously. “What are you planning to do?”
“What am I planning to do? You not only ate my lobster but also seduced Malcolm,
making him want to divorce me. As a result, I had my ugly picture taken with makeup
on, and it spread all over the internet. Sherry, your beautiful face is blinding to me.”
Sherry understood what she meant. Sophia wanted to ruin her
appearance!
The transparent liquid in her hand was probably not something good.
“Will destroying my face help you salvage your image?” Sherry chuckled softly. “The
entire nation remembers your ugly appearance without makeup on, and Malcolm will
remember it too. No one can save you.”
“You…” Sophia gently shook the bottle in her hand and rushed toward Sherry. “I want
you to become even uglier than me!”

The transparent liquid splashed towards Sherry’s face.
However, a sudden change occurred at this moment.

The loud noise from moving the sofa quickly woke up Joseph, who had just laid down
to sleep. He angrily pushed open Sherry’s door, intending to teach her a lesson.
Unexpectedly, a bottle of icy cold liquid was splashed on his face.
Sherry swiftly dodged, and the liquid splattered all over his face and body.
The ice–cold liquid from a moment ago suddenly turned scorching hot, inflicting
unbearable pain.
“Ah! It’s so painful! Help! Mom, save me! Dad, save me!”
Joseph’s scream shattered the peacefulness of the night.
Sophia attempted to flee, but Sherry was quicker. She delivered a swift kick to Sophia’s
Jeg, forcing her to kneel in agony.
