David nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. We can discuss it later.”
Sherry carried the box upstairs, her footsteps light as she ascended the stairs. When
she reached the middle, she paused for a moment and said, “Oh, by the way…”
David hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Tell me.”
“I wanted to let Mrs. Wilson know that the new dishwashing liquid in the kitchen is not
as good as the previous brand.”
David now regarded her words highly. He immediately turned to Nora and asked, “The
dishwashing liquid has been changed? What brand is it now?”
As he spoke, he was about to walk toward the kitchen.
Nora’s face turned pale, and she quickly held him back, saying, “David, a gentleman
should stay away from the kitchen. It’s not a place for an artist. I understand. I’ll go and change the dishwashing liquid back.”
Only then did David stop, “Alright, make sure you change it. Also, don’t let Sherry wash
the dishes anymore. She’s a guest in our house, and we should treat her well. How can
we let her wash the dishes?”
Nora’s smile was forced. “I understand; I’ll wash them from now on.”
“Let Sophia help with the household chores too. She’s already a grown girl, and in the
future, she’ll have to serve her husband and in–laws. If she doesn’t even know how to do
any household chores, how can she be a good wife? As a mother, you should teach her
these basic things.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Nora sighed and pulled David into the living room. She secretly
signaled Sophia from behind, urging her to quickly deal with the problematic
dishwashing liquid.
“David, let me prepare a bath for you. You’ve had a tiring day. I just bought some new
essential oils today. They’re good for relieving fatigue. Would you like to try them?”
Nora pushed David into the master bedroom, David reminded her before entering the
bathroom, “Bring the essential oils up for Sherry too. Today, we went out and bought so

many things for Sophia, but only one item for Sherry, and it’s already outdated and on
sale.”
Nora nodded with a smile and waited until she heard the sound of water in the
bathroom before leaving.
“Mom!”
Nora was startled and frowned at Sophia. “You scared me.”
Sophia was both resentful and at a loss. “Mom, what should we do?”
Nora gave her a look, indicating that she should lower her voice. “Did you dispose of
that bottle of dishwashing liquid properly?”

“I threw it into the trash can in the community. The garbage truck comes at nine o’clock
in the evening, so by now it should have been cleared away without leaving any traces.”
Only then did Nora feel relieved, but her expression was very heavy. “How cunning is
this, Sherry? She even guards such subtle detalls so meticulously.”

Sophia didn’t care about that. What she cared about now was another matter. “Mom,

why is that mysterious boss so good to Sherry? Wasn’t that person supposed to be very
mysterious? How does he know Sherry? And that Dylan who came to deliver clothes.
today, he looks just like a servant serving the emperor.”
Nora thought for a moment and also found it suspicious. “Based on their appearance
today, it seems like they have known each other for a long time. But Sherry said she
doesn’t know the mysterious boss, which is a bit strange.”
“What’s so strange about it? She just doesn’t want to admit it!”
“She has no reason not to admit it. Think about it: if she really knows that investor,
wouldn’t David be even more eager to please her? Now that she speaks ambiguously
and vaguely, what benefit does it bring to her?”
Sophia couldn’t think of much. She just felt overwhelmingly angry. “I just can’t accept it. Sherry is just slightly prettier, why are so many men obsessed with her? Malcolm,
Mateo, and now another one with an even bigger and more powerful background. Who does she think she is?”

Nora was also puzzled. “The only thing we can be sure of now is that Sherry is coming
strong this time, and she has a strong assistant behind her. We have to be extremely
cautious.”
Downstairs, the mother and daughter were discussing back and forth, while upstairs,
Sherry was enjoying a bath. The soundproofing effect of the bathroom was good, and
combined with the sound of water, nothing could be heard from outside.
She could also answer the call from Mr. Sniper openly.
“Why did you let Dylan come directly to the Wilson family? You could have given it to
me privately.”
Mr. Sniper listened to her voice and chuckled lightly. “Nora went shopping all day today
and bought you a piece of junk on purpose to embarrass you. I have to support you.”
Sherry soaked in the warm, hot water, feeling so comfortable that she hummed softly. “Actually, it’s not necessary. If she wants to belittle me, I can just belittle her back. It won’t cause any substantial harm to me.

“But I can’t stand seeing you belittled,” Mr. Sniper said. “My lover deserves the best of
everything. This dress was custom–made by a designer I found in Auran. I originally
planned to give it to you on Valentine’s Day, but I just decided to give it to you earlier.
Sherry, do you like it?”

Sherry’s hand slid back and forth in the foam on the water’s surface, trying to hide her
slight unease. “Um, it looks pretty good.”
“After the family banquet this weekend, don’t leave. Stay with me, okay?” Mr. Sniper
asked.
Sherry blushed. “Let’s talk about it later. David and Nora are both equally awful. I’m
afraid she’ll investigate you.”
“I haven’t done anything illegal or immoral, so I’m not afraid of an investigation. Besides,
Nora doesn’t have the ability to investigate me,” Mr. Sniper replied.
The conversation veered off track, so Sherry asked, “Is the family banquet really at your
house this weekend?”

“Let’s just say it is,” Mr. Sniper explained. “Actually, it’s my adoptive parents‘ house.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard you mention your parents before, Sherry said.

“That’s because they’re my adoptive parents, Mr. Sniper explained. “They adopted me
when I was five years old and took me abroad to live and study. Later, I returned alone
for certain reasons, and that’s when I met you. If it weren’t for them, I probably wouldn’t
have made it this far. In my heart, they are just as important as my biological parents.”
Sherry started to feel a bit anxious. “Should I bring a gift then? What are their
preferences? But considering their financial situation, they probably have everything
they need, right?”
Mr. Sniper’s smile grew wider. “Sherry, let’s consider this weekend as meeting my
parents.”
He had not mentioned it previously, but now that he brought it up, Sherry became even
more anxious.
“What type of girl do they prefer? This dress you gifted me appears nice, but it is

“They are quite easygoing individuals,” Mr. Sniper reassured her. ‘You will understand
once you meet them.”
