Chapter 67 – Money can kill a man
“He just came to see me the other day, about this tall, and then, quite …” Kate desperately described Jason’s looks.
The little nurse shook her head and said, “I’m sorry Auntie, I didn’t notice such a person.”
Sherry took a half step back and watched the little nurse push her mother back into the ward.
Her hand clutched the bag of food in her hand, her insides tumbling with emotion, before she carried it back to the ward, ate it with Kate and then walked out, calling the carer out in the process.
“Does my mother sometimes go out of the ward alone?”
The carer was also very honest, “I found it twice when I went to fetch food, you know she is recovering day by day, I can persuade her, I can’t force her.”
Sherry nodded.
“I understand, please take the trouble and I will make more time to come over.”
Walking out of the hospital, Sherry looked up at the cloudy weather and thought long and hard about dialing Eral’s number, “Eral, I know Mr. Swift has a meeting out there today, can you give me the exact address? I have some personal business to talk to him about.”
It would not be convenient to say it at work.
And Sherry doesn’t want a third person present when her dignity is being trampled on.
After Eral gave her the address, Sherry rushed straight over.
The golf course is membership-based, but she showed her Night Group employee card and the man at the front desk didn’t stop her.
She followed the directional signs all the way to the back of the course.
Sherry was on her way over when she saw two ball carts taking a few people over.
Andrew and Gregorio?
In the car behind, it was Nola and a lady of a thousand, laughing and talking about something.
For a moment, Sherry hesitated a little, pausing in her steps and wanting to turn away when it was too late.
“Sherry, what are you doing here?”
Nola walked over condescendingly, hand on her duck-tongued hat, laughing softly, “Don’t tell me you’re here to play golf.”
Her eyes circled Sherry’s body nonchalantly, the contempt and disgust all too evident.
Sherry pursed her lips and took a half step back.
The three men over there also noticed what was going on over here.
“What brings you here?” Andrew came straight to her.
Gregorio chimed in, “Andrew’s on good terms with Sherry, huh?”
The derisive tone in those words was clear.
Aaron was swinging his club, and hearing his words, his eyes sank, his wrist turned and his club grazed the body of the ball, a shot that was, well, off the mark.
The young lady sitting over there got up and walked over too, in a designer dress.
“Nola, who’s this? Can you introduce me?” Tacy smiled faintly, holding up her hands with the air of a lady of the house.
The Garcia Family and the Night Group have recently grown apart, and Gregorio has been working hard to set up this event, inviting the daughter of the Stephanie Family to the event, in order to ease the relationship with Aaron.
Just chatting, Nola picked up on Tacy’s words and she was quite interested in Andrew.
Nola’s eyes rolled slightly as she spoke, “Tacy, she’s just one of Aaron’s little assistants, she’s probably here to talk about work, let’s go on with our game and leave her alone.”
The tone of Garcia Family brother and sister’s voice caused Andrew’s eyes to sink a few notches.
He just looked at Sherry, “You …”
Andrew wanted to ask her if she was better now after being so uncomfortable last night.
Before the words were out of her mouth, Sherry had been pulled outside by a hand that had come across her body.
“I have something to talk about, I’m not playing this game.”
Aaron tugged Sherry with one hand, one hand crossed in his trouser pocket, and the two walked around the corner, one after the other, when with a thump he flung his hand and Sherry’s back knocked against the cold wall.
She still had a bruise on her hand and sucked back a breath of pain.
Instead, Aaron stared at her and frowned.
“What are you doing here?”
“Mr. Swift, I wanted to ask, what did you mean earlier about Andrew giving me money?” She tilted her head up and faced the man in front of her straight on.
“Heh, why don’t you ask Andrew?” was what Aaron said, cocking his head at her again, “Could it be, you’re embarrassed because you’re thin-skinned?”
Sherry stalled.
“I …”
She opened her mouth to explain, but the man in front of her suddenly leaned down and
The two men abruptly drew closer together.
From the side, it looked as if they were kissing passionately.
Just in time, Andrew came after him.
“Let her go.”
Without saying a word, he rushed on.
Aaron was pushed away, but his face was hooked into a smile, “Andrew don’t get so excited, what should have happened with her, happened a long time ago, I’m not half interested in her now, feel free if you want.”
Sherry’s heart felt as if it had been ripped out of her chest.
Andrew’s heart was both heartbroken and angry.
“Mr. Swift why do you have to do this to her when you know …”
Sherry hastily tugged at Andrew’s coat to block the words he hadn’t said, “Andrew, I happen to have something for you, let’s go.”
She just wanted to test to see if Aaron had taken a shot at Jason in order to avenge Monica’s death.
It seems that it should be her overthinking.
Aaron wouldn’t even need to go to this much trouble to do anything to Jason, with his power and position, he could crush Jason with the snap of his fingers.
“Good.” Andrew reached out his hand to pull her out, but it reached halfway and then stopped.
Sherry didn’t notice his movement and took a step in the direction of the exit.
Behind them, Aaron watched the two, his eyes narrowed slightly as he laughed softly, “Sherry, you are not going to be happy, not in this lifetime, not ever.”
He is also a man.
Know Andrew’s mind too well.
Sherry walked around the corner and turned to face Andrew, “Is that what you were going to tell me earlier, about Jason?”
She was only chagrined that she hadn’t guessed it sooner.
Andrew didn’t answer directly, but looked at the time, “Have you eaten? Want to, talk over dinner.”
Sherry’s heart wavered.
She nodded, and at this point, she didn’t want to remain here.
“Wait for me then, I’ll go and change.” Andrew ripped the buttons off and went into the men’s dressing room.
Sherry just stood waiting in the hallway.
On the other side, Nola walked over with Tacy, both eyes falling on Sherry at the same time, this time it was Tacy who opened up first.
“Sherry, can I take the liberty of asking, what is your relationship with Andrew, and what is it?” Tacy smiled and even made her feelings known honestly, “Because my family would really like me to go out with him, so I would like you to tell me the truth.”
“Lest, in future, there is any misunderstanding and it leads to some unnecessary trouble.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sister Tacy, why are you being so polite with her? Sherry, you heard the whole thing, be sensible and stay away from Andrew, you don’t deserve him at all.”
