Chapter 183
Not far away, David was engaged in a lively conversation with Paul, occasionally
stealing glances at Sophia. It was evident that they were discussing Sophia.
Nora stood in a corner, giving Sophia some instructions while pulling her aside. Sophia
obediently nodded, behaving completely out of character.
“Hey Someone tapped her shoulder.
Sherry turned around and faced a beautiful yet arrogant face. The young girl appeared,
to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a Lolita–style outfit, looking very
petite and cute.
“Do you
have a moment?
Sherry was puzzled. “Me?”
“Yes, the young girl nodded. “Can you help me with something?”
Both David and Nora were occupied with their own matters and had no time to attend

to her. Sherry was bored standing alone, so she agreed.
“What do you need help with?”

“Help me retrieve that shoe.” The young girl pulled her towards a big tree and pointed to
a princess shoe on a branch. “It’s all because of that jerk, Mateo. He insisted on
throwing my shoe up there; it’s so infuriating.
Sherry seemed to have heard a familiar name: “Um… the Mateo you mentioned, is he an
automotive designer?”
The young girl rolled her eyes and said, ‘Of course! Isn’t there another Mateo in
Herzoslovakia City?”
“Is he also here today?”
“Yes,” the young girl suddenly looked at her warily, “do you also know Mateo? What’s
your relationship with him?”
Sherry quickly waved her hands. “He’s quite famous: I’ve seen him on TV.

Upon hearing her response, the young girl relaxed a bit, half warning and half

threatening, “Let me tell you, Mateo is my fiancé. You better not have any other ideas; it
won’t end well.”
Sherry nodded. “I won’t.”
The young girl nodded and muttered, “You look familiar; have we met somewhere
before?”
Sherry had been in the public eye for several days recently due to her appearance and
rumors about Christopher. However, people’s attention seemed to have shifted to
Sophia, who was in stark contrast to her. So, there wasn’t much attention on her after
all.
However, despite this, she was still considered familiar to the public.
Just then, a young man approached with a glass of champagne in hand, his gaze
intense. “Miss, hello. You look somewhat familiar. Have we met somewhere before?”
“Hey, Patrick Martin, it’s the modern era now. Why is your pickup line still so outdated?”

The young girl teased.

Patrick raised his fist in a threatening manner. “How dare you talk to your elder brother
like that? You’re asking for trouble!”
“If you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll tell Mom and Dad!” The young girl stood defiantly,
even sticking her tongue out at Patrick.
Patrick muttered, “Mischievous little brat, be careful not to end up unmarried in the
future!”
“Hmph, I’m already betrothed to Mateo. I’m not afraid of not getting married.”
“Claire Martin, stop dreaming. Mateo has already said he has someone in his heart. You
better give up on this idea!”
“I won’t! I refuse! I want to see who this vixen is that made Mateo fall in love so early.”
The young girl, filled with anger, pointed at the shoes on the tree branch and said,
Since you’re here, it’s perfect. Help me retrieve those shoes.”

Patrick looked up and exclaimed, ‘Wow, it’s so high up. Do you think I have a magic
staff that can shape–shift?”
Claire snorted, “You are timid. This young lady agreed to help me get the shoes, but
you, a grown man, can’t even do that. You’re weak, so weak!”
“Hey, don’t provoke me!” Patrick got angry and took off his suit jacket, handing it to
Sherry. “I’ll climb up and get them for you!”

The suit jacket still carried a faint warmth, and Sherry held it awkwardly, feeling a bit at
a loss.
This was a stranger’s clothing. She didn’t know where Mr. Sniper was, and if he saw
this, she would have to explain herself.
As they spoke, Patrick had already started climbing the tree with his bare hands.
The shoes were stuck about four meters high, and Patrick was around 1.8 meters tall,
which meant he had to climb at least 2.2 meters to reach them.

But he clearly overestimated his tree–climbing skills. He had barely climbed half a meter
before slipping and falling down.
“Ah!” Patrick steadied himself and turned his arm over, revealing a ten–centimeter–long
gash on his right forearm, and it was oozing fresh red blood.
Claire was frightened and rushed over, exclaiming, “Patrick! Does it hurt?“–
wwww
Patrick pushed her away and said, “It’s nothing. I’m a man; a little pain doesn’t matter.”
Saying that, he was about to climb the tree again.
Claire panicked and quickly walked up to grab his arm, saying, “Patrick, let’s forget
about it. There are so many beautiful women here today, and Dad wants to introduce
you to one. If they see your scars, what if they are disgusted?”
Patrick shrugged indifferently and said, “So what? Our elder brother has scars on his
face, but countless girls still cry and beg to marry him.”
What he said caught Sherry’s attention. Scars on the face, isn’t that? Mr. Sniper..

Claire continued to chatter, “His abilities are something you can never catch up to in
your lifetime. As for you, just rely on Dad honestly.”
“Well, that’s true. Our elder brother is simply a prodigy. He finished university at
eighteen, started his own business at twenty, and hardly had any connection with Dad.
He relied solely on his own efforts. He’s just turned thirty this year, and his wealth and
status are almost on par with Dad’s. He’s a genius, and I’m just average.”
Claire burst into laughter. “At least you have some self–awareness.”
“But I don’t understand. He is three years older than me, and he’s the eldest brother.
Why doesn’t Dad arrange his marriage first and instead pushes me to the forefront?”
“Because he doesn’t need to worry about women!” Claire teased him, “Unlike you, using
outdated pick–up lines to approach girls.”
A gust of wind blew, causing the leaves to rustle. However, Claire’s shoes were thick
and heavy; they swayed back and forth with the tree branches, but they remained stable as they showed no sign of falling.

Claire expressed her concern: “What am I going to do? When Dad comes out and sees
that I’m not wearing shoes, he will definitely scold me again.”
