Chapter 1399
That was the end of their conversation.
Something ominous shone inside his eyes, and a menacing smile formed on his lips.
The young lady was frightened by his demeanor and asked in a trembling voice, “Sir, everything I told you is the
truth. Could you please let me go?”
John eyed the bodyguards pinning her down. “Let her go.”
The bodyguard did as they were told.
The woman scuttled out of the scene.
An oppressing silence took over.
Peter and the crew of bodyguards stood silently, not one of them dared to utter a word.
Caprice looked up at John and seemed like she could not make out what the situation was.

Meanwhile, a white car parked no less than ten meters away from them in the parking lot.
A crisp ring broke through the silence inside the car.
Sherry hesitated briefly before holding the phone to her ear.
She looked out the window and eyed John’s figure
standing tall with Caprice in his arms. John asked in a laid back manner, “Sherry, where are you? Why can’t I see
you anywhere?”
Heh, he sure could act.
Sherry answered, “I thought you saw me just now?”
John scoffed. “Heh… Don’t you want to see your daughter anymore?”
Sherry scoffed back at him. “I’d see her if you would let me.”
John invited her graciously. “Come over here now and I’ll let you see her.”
Sherry scowled. “You have so many of your men surrounding you. What are the chances I get to walk away in one
piece if I show up?”
She had only finished her sentence when John suddenly swung around and faced her general direction.
Sherry crouched down instantly.
It was only after she instinctively ducked out of his vision that she remembered the windows of the car were tinted.
There was not a chance someone outside could make out the person inside the car.
She slowly rose and looked out the window again.
John was still standing there with his posse crowded around him like a bunch of lap dogs.
Caprice looked as wonderfully innocent as ever in his arms.
Sherry stared at Caprice.
John finally spoke again, he smiled hideously, “Sherry, you sure did change in these last two years.”
Sherry chuckled sarcastically. “I only have you to thank for my growth. Without your nurturing, I wouldn’t become

John scoffed dryly.
Sherry sneered at him.
John suddenly spoke, “I’ll give you another ten seconds to reconsider. If you still don’t decide to show up, don’t ever
consider showing your face around me again.”
Immediately after that, he commenced the countdown.” Ten, nine, eight…”
Sherry frowned.
What, was she expected to step into the lion’s den like a fool?
John continued, “Four, three!”
He suddenly slowed down, his voice grew severe.
Sherry pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
At last, he had reached the end of the countdown. “One!”
Nothing but an eerie silence.
The silence would have lasted till the end of eternity if not for John shattering it with a chilling threat. “Good job,
Sherry. You better not show your face around me ever again. I’ll chop your feet off if I ever see you lurking
around!”
