Chapter 1657
Ada approached the sink as well and asked snappily, “Miss Sherry, I believe this isn’t the first time we met. Have
your parents never taught you that you should greet someone you know?”
Sherry began to wash her hands while responding disinterestedly, “It doesn’t seem like you greeted me either.
Have your parents neglected to teach you that as well?”
Ada stuttered and had no response to this. Her face grew red.
Sherry was in no mood to continue squabbling with her. She had finished washing her hands and was wringing her
hands to dry them. The sleeves on her left arm parted slightly and revealed a large scar left behind from the
previous accident, which was imprinted on her arm.
She immediately took notice of this and pulled back her sleeves as subtly as she could, then she turned and walked
out of the bathroom. She marched out in a haste and did not notice the look in Ada’s eyes.
Carl was still waiting for her outside, and after she emerged, they went back into the banquet hall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAda had just exited the toilet when she watched the two stepping into the banquet hall together. She scowled and
was immediately filled with jealousy and scorn. “How dare some vile, disgusting woman like you try to steal him
from me?!”
It was still very lively inside the banquet hall.
Sherry and Carl returned to their seats.
Anne was busy chatting with Madam Sager along with her daughter-in-law.
Madam Sager was smiling from ear to ear, but the moment she saw Sherry returning with Carl, she erased the
smile from her face in an instant.
Sherry made a face as well but was otherwise not bothered.
Carl barely cast a glance in Madam Sager’s direction and did not really care to.
Lisa smiled warmly at the returning pair and said, “Carl, Sherry, everyone has given a toast to Grandma already, so
you two should as well.”
She was subtly hinting that they could make up an excuse to leave after the toast.
Carl took the hint and responded kindly, raising a glass.
Sherry followed suit and grabbed a glass as well.
Anne suddenly remarked, “Carl, both of your brothers and sisters-in-law went up to
Grandma to toast to her just now, so you two should do that as well. She can’t see you from a distance.”
Carl reluctantly agreed and told Sherry, “Grandma has poor eyesight. Let’s go up to her.”
He figured that it was not much hassle, especially considering they could leave after they were done with the toast.
He glanced at Sherry who nodded agreeably.
With that, they approached Madam Sager together.
Madam Sager wore a permanent scowl on her face and barely responded to them approaching.
Carl did not think much of it and began to give a toast, “Grandma, I wish you good health and prosperity.”
Without that, he raised his glass.
Sherry raised her glass as well and downed the contents of the glass in one swig.
Ron suddenly chuckled out loud and commented, “Hehe… this is some strong liquor that contains 53% alcohol. It’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpretty impressive that you can finish it in one gulp, but that’s expected of someone running a nightclub.”
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table turned to gawk at Sherry.
Anne chimed in, “Miss Sherry looks like she’s been doing this for a long time. How often do you drink?”
Sherry grimaced and was slightly irritated by the unnecessary comments.
After a stiff silence, she was prepared to retort but was quickly interrupted by Carl, “Yeah, you all know how much I
like drinking, and Sherry here is one of my frequent drinking partners.”
Anne immediately did a double-take.
Ron chuckled dryly.
Carl turned to Ron and said with a smile, “Uncle, your comment back there reminds me of something. If it wasn’t
thanks to Sherry helping Sager Corporation manage all those nightclubs, you’d probably be homeless and begging
for money on the streets instead of sitting here enjoying a toast with us.”
Ron and Anne turned pale white immediately.
“Pfft…” Lisa could not stifle her laugh anymore and nearly spat out the food in her mouth.
Ron and Anne turned speechless. Their faces were as black as ink.
Sherry was highly amused by this interaction. It took everything in her to pucker her lips. tightly to not break out
into a hearty laugh.
