Chapter 74 It’s either you or Alex
He kept his eyes on Sherry’s clutched arm, just waiting for an opportunity to reach out with his hand and help Sherry break free, then immediately pulled open the door to the room and pushed her inside.
Bam.
By the time Sherry reacted again, the door was already unlocked.
She leaned over the door and listened carefully but couldn’t hear anything because the door was so well sealed and she didn’t know what was really going on outside.
Five or six minutes apart.
Aaron pulled the door open again, a slight chill in his eyes, “Get out of the way.”
Sherry obeyed and took two steps back.
Only a few stains were visible on his cuffs. He placed his room card on the table and went into the bathroom, hearing the sound of water coming from inside and Sherry glanced towards the door.
The corridor was empty, but there appeared to have been signs of a struggle.
Could it be that Aaron had a run-in with the three Henry Family brothers?
That’s not so much as doing it.
Besides, with the party looming tonight, he didn’t seem like such an irrational man.
Sherry had just closed the door when the sounds from the bathroom stopped.
The man stood there with a cold face, staring at her with such extreme annoyance that even Sherry was confused for a moment as to whether she had done some all-consuming act.
“Thanks to Mr. Swift just now …”
“Are you a fool? What are they up to and you can’t feel it? You can’t call out for someone?” He yelled suddenly.
More angry than that day in the car.
Sherry stalled.
Standing there, he didn’t move or retort a word for half a day.
Perhaps Aaron got tired of cursing and gradually stopped.
Sherry then spoke slowly, “Mr. Swift, you have a video conference in fifteen minutes to discuss the jewelry branding for the next quarter.”
Aaron pressed his brow and his voice was unmistakably raspy, “Sherry, you …”
“I’m going to head out, do you need to ask the hotel to prepare lunch for you?” In fact, she was a little hungry.
Wanted to go back to the room for a bite to eat.
I don’t want to stand around being scolded all the time.
“Get out!”
Aaron was so full of fire that he just roared.
With the wind at her feet, Sherry pulled open the door and slipped out, not daring to linger, and went straight to her room.
She closed the door, dialed the hotel reception and soon, a meal was brought up.
But Sherry looked at the table of food and lost her appetite.
“Nola, here today too, and the Henry Family people are here.”
Sherry’s eyes arched, “Plus Eral took annual leave, isn’t this a godsend?”
She immediately took out her phone and looked through the memo she had written down earlier, which clearly noted her investigation into the whole thing.
“Back when Nola was pregnant, the tests were done abroad.”
The assumption is that she was faking it by that time.
It is quite possible that some of the people around her, knew the truth.
The hospital had become one of the Henry Family’s properties five years ago, and she could safely assume that the people behind Nola were the Henry Family.
It’s not always who it is, but there are always clues.
“Nola, I don’t mess with you, you bring it on yourself.”
Six o’clock that evening.
All Night Group staff gathered in the open-air banqueting area on the top floor.
The set was a lavish affair, with floor-to-ceiling flashing lights that signified that the Night Group was as unattainable as the stars.
Sherry was dressed in a simple dress that looked out of place among a crowd of employees.
“How did she get here so soon?” Someone murmured in the back.
Sherry grimaced down and turned right back around and said, “I have to dress like a peacock with an open screen like you guys?”
“…”
The two employees bit their lips fiercely and were silent.
“Nola!” Daisy saw Nola appear, a long trailing dress that outlined her slim waistline, her face in decent light make-up, a new level of elegance than she usually had.
While everyone else was reveling in Nola’s beauty, Sherry noticed at once that Alex was looking at Nola from a distance, and sure enough, some kind of deal had been struck between them.
Nola wouldn’t have had the brains to do it if Alex hadn’t been behind it.
The moonlight and the light added to the sparkle of Nola’s diamond-encrusted dress.
She smiled gently and looked around the room, “Where’s Mr. Swift?”
“Mr. Swift was just here.” Daisy was busy saying, “You’re welcome inside.”
Nola stomped briskly and raised Jan’s chin as she walked past Sherry.
She wants to win.
It was up to Aaron and everyone else to see that she was the noblest of the Garcia Family ladies and that Sherry, who came from such a modest background, had no business competing with her.
Sherry’s expression was bland compared to her condescending look.
It was as if there was no such person as Nola in front of her.
“Hmm.”
Nola carried the hem of her skirt and made her way inside.
Sherry’s eyes sank slightly for a few moments as she took out her phone and sent out a long-edited message.
“Found you.”
Suddenly a guttural, manly voice came from behind him.
Sherry was so scared that she nearly dropped her phone.
Luckily the message had been sent successfully and she immediately put the phone back in her pocket and turned back around to see Reto standing very close behind her.
His hairstyle has changed, seemingly to hide the bruises at the corners of his eyes.
No one else knew Reto.
Just pondering the two of them with an inquisitive gaze.
Not wanting to fall back into passivity, Sherry shouted out then, “Master Henry, good evening.”
Henry?
For a moment, the female employees looked at Reto and their eyes lit up.
“Everyone, this is the fourth young master of the Henry Family, one of our most distinguished guests of Mr. Swift tonight, so make sure you treat him well and don’t treat him badly.”
As Reto tried to draw back and refuse, a group of people had gathered around him.
“Master Henry, I am the manager of the Night Group, my name is Carter, feel free to let me know if you need anything on your end.”
Reto’s eyes flinched.
When I looked up to see where Sherry was, there was nowhere to be seen.
“Damn it.”
After Sherry escaped, she stood on the other side of the corridor and looked out at the situation.
“What are you doing here, sneaking around.”
A deep, cold, familiar voice came through.
Sherry was startled and immediately turned back around, “I, the …”
Oops, she had forgotten to check the time.
Shouldn’t Aaron have gone in through a different gate?
Why is it here!
Then her plan …Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The panic in Sherry’s eyes, which was hard to hide, fell into the man’s eyes.
His brow tightened and his whole body leaned down to her, his hand clamped on her shoulder, “Sherry, you’re actually not very good at lying at all.”
The look of caution, and the need to play it safe, was all too obvious.
Sherry panicked inside and pushed his hand away violently.
“Mr. Swift, you misunderstand.”
“Is that so?” Aaron Zin sneered and pressed even closer to her, “The hotel manager told me that Alex met with a woman today, you did, didn’t you.”
