Sherry was at a loss for words.
Mr. Sniper admired her hair, gently running his fingers through it before letting go,
appearing somewhat sluggish. “Stay away from him.”
Sherry nodded. “I will keep my distance from him.”
“Good girl,” Mr. Sniper said as his hand moved down from her head, tenderly caressing
her beautiful face. “I don’t want to let you go; I wish I could have you with me every day.”
He playfully tickled Sherry, causing her to dodge and turn her head. “Do you happen to
know Mateo?”
Mr. Sniper’s response was evasive. “Hmm, you could say that.”
It made sense since they were both privileged youngsters; it wasn’t surprising that they
knew each other.
Sherry stretched out and gently caressed his cheek.
As her hand moved up his jawline, the white mask faintly glimmered in the night. She
wanted to remember the curve of his jawline,
He seized her hand and brought it close to his lips for a quick kiss.
“I haven’t shaved properly; it might hurt.”
Sherry grinned and withdrew her hand, curling up in his arms, resting her head on his
shoulder, and closing her eyes for a nap.
“Mr. Sniper.”
“Yes?”
“Do I have a chance of winning if I sue Sophia in court?”
Mr. Sniper wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. “What exactly
do you want to sue her for?”
Sherry also placed her arms around his waist and gently rested her chin on his chest.

“She went to find my uncle and deliberately said those things, clearly trying to provoke
him.
When I confronted her, she even asked if my uncle had died. This is murder! Even if it
didn’t succeed, it was intentional harm! She knew that my uncle had just had surgery
and couldn’t handle any stimulation, but she did it on purpose!”
“Hmm,” Mr. Sniper said calmly and authoritatively. “I understand your feelings, but
Sherry, whether it’s murder or intentional harm, your uncle must have physical injuries
or toxicology tests. However, he accidentally knocked over a bottle of boiling water
himself. Sophia, at best, can only be morally condemned; holding her legally
accountable would be difficult.”
Mr. Sniper’s explanation was exactly what she expected.
Sophia’s every hurtful word felt like a knife piercing her uncle’s heart, yet she didn’t
physically harm him.
Sherry felt a little disappointed. “Words can really hurt.”

“Yes, throughout history, many people have been driven to death by words. Sophia used
her intelligence this time, and there’s probably someone behind her guiding her.”
While discussing it, Sherry suddenly remembered something. “Could it possibly be her
mother?”
“She has already remarried, and the existence of her ex–husband would diminish her
own value and prevent her daughter from marrying into a wealthy family. So, the
mother and daughter came up with this plan?” Mr. Sniper added.
Sherry remained silent and clenched her teeth. “I won’t let them succeed.”
“Do you need my help?”
Sherry made a hesitant motion with her head. “I’d like to handle it myself first, but if I’m
truly no match for Sophia and her mother, can you assist me?”
Mr. Sniper raised an eyebrow, approving of her suggestion. “I know it’s not easy for you
to ask for my assistance, but I’ll be there for you.”
Sherry’s fingers crept up his shoulder, but she didn’t dare to meet his gaze. “When I was
young, my family was poor, but my uncle insisted on taking care of me. My aunt left him
because of this, and now that they’ve returned, I can’t let my uncle face them alone. He
protected me when I was young, and now it’s my turn to protect him.”
Mr. Sniper pressed her hand against his chest, allowing her to feel his warmth and
heartbeat.
“Sherry, you’re a good girl, and you deserve the best.”
Sherry smiled. “Meeting you is already more than enough for me.”
Mr. Sniper gave a meaningful smile. “Is that so?”
Sherry nodded firmly. “I understand now. If the girl you like comes back to you, I will
wholeheartedly bless you both. Mr. Sniper, I will always remember your kindness. If
being with her makes you happy, I won’t mind. You have been there for me during the
lowest point in my life, and I am already grateful.”
Mr. Sniper responded, “Nonsense,” and Sherry found herself on the bed with Mr. Sniper

on top of her. He leaned in and gently kissed her lips. “If you say such things again, I will
have to punish you.”
Sherry wrapped her arms around his neck and let him kiss her. “What kind of
punishment?”
“Hmm, I can’t bear to punish you in any other way, so
