Chapter 176
Nora opened her phone and quickly accessed the photo album. On the screen were
photos of her and Christopher taken in the dressing room of the television station.
Christopher was half asleep on the sofa, and she gently covered him with a blanket.
Sherry instantly understood. This was Nora’s way of fighting back.
Sophia had previously exposed the scandal involving her and Christopher, but a sudden
twist at that time quickly shifted the focus to her makeup. With Lily’s intervention, the
scandal didn’t spread much.
Online comments always claimed that it was just a normal interaction between a star
and a makeup artist, without any wrongdoing.
But this time, it was different.
The previous incident could be seen as a gentlemanly act when Christopher helped her
up as she was about to fall. However, this captured moment was more intimate.

Chapter 176 Trap Within Trap
One person was sleeping, and the other was covering him with a blanket. If they
wanted to make a big deal out of it, it would be much harder to clarify, given the media’s
ability to twist the truth and manipulate public opinion.
She blamed herself for being careless. She shouldn’t have taken matters into her own
hands; she should have let Christopher’s assistant handle it.
Who could have imagined that Nora would have connections even at a place like the
television station?
When she returned to her room, Mr. Sniper gave her an answer: “It’s Ashlyn’s people.
She often goes to the television station to record programs and is familiar with the staff
there. Last time, she couldn’t frame you, but this time, she won’t miss the opportunity.”
Indeed, Ashlyn had a close relationship with Sophia. She had even stolen a headline
from her before. If someone from the entertainment industry wanted to target her, it
would be easier than Sophia targeting her.
However, this time, Sophia didn’t immediately give the photos to the media. Instead,
she only showed them to David.
Chapter 176 Trap Within Trap
She no longer cared about the opinions of other people. What she wanted was to
slowly erode David’s trust in her–an eye for an eye.
Sherry believed that Nora was most likely the one who suggested this. With a clearer
understanding, she felt more relaxed.
After ending the call, she decided to visit Joseph’s
room.

Joseph’s injuries were still quite serious, with his entire cheek wrapped in thick gauze
and swollen. David and Nora were both with him, and Sophia was there too, but she
wasn’t by the bedside. Instead, she sat alone on a small sofa in the corner, playing with
her phone. When she saw Sherry enter, she became alert.
‘Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, is Joseph’s condition improving?”
David’s face brightened a little bit. “Not really, it will take time to recover. Ms. Wilson, did
you hear what I just said? I have just joined the Castillo Group, and there are no decent
projects in the country yet. At this time, we cannot afford any mistakes. Do you
understand?”

Sherry nodded. “I will be more careful in the future.”
“Good, that’s what I want to hear.”
“Mr. Wilson, but I don’t think Mr. Castillo is such a rigid person. He appreciates your
talent, so it shouldn’t have much to do with my work.”

Speaking of this, David had a worried expression. “Let me tell you the truth. Although I
have joined the Castillo Group, there is still a big boss behind the group. He provided
funding to the Castillo Group, so Mr. Castillo also has to listen to him. This weekend,
this big boss said he wants to personally meet me and even specifically requested that
I bring my wife and child to attend the banquet. If he asks me directly, what should I
say?”
The big boss behind the Castillo Group? A possibility flashed through Sherry’s mind.
“If he wants you to bring your wife and child, it should be a family banquet, right?”
Yes, it’s at his residence, inviting our whole family.” David coughed lightly. “With Joseph) in his current condition, he can’t be away from people, and Sophia isn’t someone who
has taken care of others much, so she definitely won’t be able to take care of Joseph
properly. So, I plan to bring Nora and Sophia with me and entrust Joseph to your care.”
Sherry understood. After beating around the bush, he just wanted to explain to her that.
she couldn’t go to the rumored big boss’s family banquet.
She sneered. Although David let her live in his house, he still wouldn’t admit that she
was his biological daughter, right?
A knowledgeable and talented master of landscape design couldn’t have an illegitimate
daughter, as it would damage his reputation.
He could bring his wife and the daughter from his previous marriage, showing that he
was tolerant and a kind elder, but he couldn’t let his own daughter appear. All for the
sake of his image.
Mother, what kind of scum did you love back then?
Okay Sherry smiled and said, “Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, you can rest assured and go.
will take a day off and stay at home to take care of Joseph”
Sherry was so easy to talk to that Nora couldn’t quite understand it.
She always thought that Sherry would come up with strong reasons to refute and stand
up for herself and her mother. Nora wanted to cause the two of them to argue if Sherry
even showed a sign of disagreement. But she didn’t expect this girl to not say a word of
opposition and just agree so straightforwardly.
“Sherry, actually, you should be the one going after all, you are David’s daughter.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Sherry smiled with relief. “The grudges of the previous generation
are their own business. I just want to live a good life with the two of you. I have always
lacked fatherly love since I was young and have grown accustomed to being looked
down upon by others. To be honest, I have become immune to it. Now that I can reunite
with Mr. Wilson, I am already very satisfied with the current situation and won’t cause
him any trouble anymore.”
These words had a profound impact on David. “It’s nice to have a thoughtful daughter.”
Devid sighed. “I know you had a difficult childhood, but… I also have my own
difficulties; you should be able to understand right?”
Sherry responded with a “yes.”
“It would be best if you could understand. You are different from your mother; you are a
kind and gentle child. Just stay here, and as long as we don’t discuss it outside, our
family can talk about anything privately.”
Sherry nodded in agreement with a smile.
David placed great importance on the weekend family banquet.
On Friday, he took a day off, specifically from Mr. Castillo, to go shopping with Nora and
Sophia.
Before they left, Sophia deliberately spoke in a loud voice, “Mom, Dad, are we going to
the department store today?”
Nora interjected, “Silly child, why would we visit an ordinary boutique? We have an
important gathering today, so it is only fitting that we acquire the finest attire to
complement your status. We will be heading to the Oriental Auran:”
