Chapter 1782
Lisa traced a motherly smile on her lips and greeted Caprice lovingly, “Hey!”
She made to approach Caprice after greeting her but quickly halted when she noticed Madam Stockton sitting next
to Caprice.
Sherry aptly rose from her seat and approached them.
She went up to Lisa and made the introductions. “Aunt Lisa, this is John’s mother, and that’s John’s sister, Queenie.”
Then, she turned to Madam Stockton and Queenie. “Madam Stockton, Queenie, Aunt Lisa is the chairman of Sager
Corporation and also Carl’s mother.”
Both Madam Stockton and Queenie rose and greeted her politely.
“So, you are the infamous Madam Sager, it’s good to see you.” Madam Stockton held her manners about her.
Lisa responded kindly, “Good to see you as well, Madam Stockton.”
Queenie greeted her politely as well, “Hello, Madam Sager.”
Lisa was very courteous. “Hello there, Queenie.”
“Please, sit down.” Madam Stockton motioned.

As soon as she drew near to Caprice, she wrapped her arms tightly around the child and began smothering her with
kisses. “Caprice, Grandma misses you so much!”
Caprice giggled and planted a big kiss on Lisa’s cheeks as well as she was overjoyed to see Lisa. Madam Stockton
grimaced faintly, a bitter look of jealousy rose beneath the surface.
Caprice had never kissed her like this.
Queenie was just as startled by the sight of Caprice acting so friendly with Madam Sager. She did not expect the
infamous Madam Sager to turn out to be such a kindly old lady.
Lisa must have sensed the faint turbulence in the air as well. After teasing Caprice a little while longer, she promptly
put the child down. Then, she turned to Madam Stockton and Queenie. “Please, sit, don’t worry about me.”
Madam Stockton was very civil. “Come sit with us.”
“Unfortunately, I still have some business to deal with. I just happened to be in the area so I figured I’d swing by for
a quick visit. I have to leave soon,” Lisa remarked as she approached Sherry.
She passed a bag to Sherry. “Sherry, I went shopping with some friends last night and bought you some outfits that
I think you’d like. I also put some vitamin supplements inside the bag. You’re going to need them since you haven’t
had much rest lately, you look pale.”
Sherry smiled and thanked her kindly, “I got it, Aunt Lisa. Go on, you have work to do.”
“What’s the rush? I’m not done here yet.” Lisa signaled a look at her assistant.
The assistant took the hint and promptly placed a large fruit basket on the table next to John’s bed. Then, she
reached into the basket and produced a large plastic bag from inside.
Lisa announced proudly, “I had a friend who runs a toy factory to pick out some toys for me. If Caprice likes these
toys, you know who to call. I’ll get more for her.”
Sherry smiled and thanked her, “Alright, thank you.”
Lisa gently patted her on the shoulder. “Make sure you take care of yourself, call me if you need anything.”
“OK.”
With that, Lisa turned and prepared to leave.
Before she was out the door, she turned to Madam Stockton and Queenie and acknowledged them with a smile.
Then she turned to John who was laying on the bed. “Master Stockton, I’ll be leaving for now, see you.”
John smiled graciously. “I’ll see you, Madam Sager.”
Lisa walked out.

Sherry was already used to Madam Sager’s eccentricity and did not think much of it. John had grown accustomed
to the madam over the last two days as well.
It was Madam Stockton and Queenie who seemed caught in a daze, still reeling back from the bizarre character
they had witnessed.
After a while, Queenie approached Sherry and asked, “Sherry, has Madam Sager always been so friendly with
you?”
Sherry was unpacking the bag of toys for Caprice and briefly nodded in response, it did not seem peculiar to her at
all.
Queenie smiled and remarked, “She’s very kind.”
Sherry smiled and made no comments.
Lisa had always been very genuine and had a personality that lit up the room.
Ever since they became acquainted, Lisa had always doted on her. They grew even closer after Sherry had proved
her worth and managed to help Sager Corporation out of countless crises, further cementing their relationship.
What Sherry took away from her relationship with Lisa was a level of appreciation for mutual trust with an elder.
However, not everyone had such a favorable impression of Lisa.
