Chapter 1720
Although it may seem like the shareholders were concerned about her, it was clear as day that they were probing
for information about John.
Ron was the most suspicious of them all, evident by his message that read, “President Sherry, Aiden and Caden
have done something terrible today. If they had come to me and told me about their plan, I would have shut it down
immediately. I would like to apologize for what happened.
“Also, forgive my mom for being so stubborn in her traditional ideals. She’s our elder after all. What’s wrong with
being married before? As long as you have something to offer to the table, I won’t mind you wedding into the
family even if you have been divorced thrice in the past.
“It’s truly a shame that things were ruined by Aiden and Cade. I have already lectured them just now. When you
come in to work on Monday, I will have them apologize to you.
“By the way, say hello to Master Stockton for me, if you would.”
Sherry chuckled.

Upon reading the message, she understood the reason Ron and his family were afraid of stirring up drama and
spreading the news. They were afraid of her using John against them.
She took a deep breath and looked across the living room.
John was seated on the couch on the other edge of the room facing her with a book in hand.
The book was part of a collection of business materials that Lisa had given to her as a gift after she arrived in
Coastrock. Lisa had given them to her to help her build her knowledge and expertise in the industry.
It did not take long at all for John to get halfway through the book. It was not surprising since he was made for
business since the day he was born. The contents of the book must be completely. amateurish to his genius mind.
Sherry found herself overwhelmed with a sudden rush of irritability.
That was when John suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her.
Sherry caught his gaze. She suddenly grew defensive and asked snappily, “What are you looking at me for?”
John remained silent. He formed a coy smile and said, “No reason. I just felt like looking at you.” Sherry shot him a
look, then she turned her attention back to her laptop to avoid looking at John altogether.
John suddenly asked her, “Have you finished this book?”
Sherry answered snappily, “I finished it a long time ago.”
John remarked casually, “Well, the contents are okay, it’s just a bit dated.”
Sherry was visibly annoyed by this. She continued to stare at her the display and said without
bothering to turn to John, “I know, I finished the book two years ago.”
John made a look and did his best to suppress a smile as he said, “I would say this book was only relevant around
three years ago.”
Sherry stayed silent. Her cheeks grew red as she glared at John viciously.
John smiled condescendingly and brushed her off, “Still, you could learn a lot from this, I’m sure.”
Sherry took a breath and ignored him. She may not be as experienced as John, but she did manage to extract a lot
of helpful information from the book. She was aware that books did not offer as much as real-world practical
experiences, but they still helped her considerably.
That was why she had read the books, to prepare herself for when she stepped into the business field. She knew
that she had relied on nothing but her abilities and determination to ascend the ranks inside Sager Corporation.

you want me to source them for you?”
She refused without even considering it, “No thanks.”
He paused for a moment before saying, “Well, at least let me tell you the names of these books.”
She grimaced and ignored him entirely.
He smiled and took out his phone.
Shortly after that, Sherry’s phone began chiming.
John had sent the titles of the books he mentioned to her.
She merely glanced at the phone before putting it away.
She spied John from the corner of her eye and noticed he had picked up the book and resumed reading. She
sneakily reached for her phone again and went through the list of books John had sent her, then she went to an
online bookstore and ordered each one of them.
Unbeknownst to her, John was hardly paying attention to the book at all and was spying on her the entire time. He
observed how she seemed to scurry about and was very amused. A subtle smile formed on his lips.
The day passed quickly.
Sherry remained by the window all day while John sat on the couch.
