Chapter 129: Chapter 129
And never want to stay here.
Her hatred for Sherry increased.
She promised to make sure to kill Sherry once she is released out of here.
Since Sherry made her suffer she would also make her suffer and torture her.
______
Two weeks later.
"Hey!" A voice called.
Sherry turned around and looked back.
She was shocked when she saw the person.
It was Emma.
"You? Where have you been?" Sherry asked in a shocked voice .
Emma flashed her a wolfish grin, "I went back in a hurry for an urgent matter" He replied.
Sherry nodded in response.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I am just scrolling around, " Sherry replied truthfully.
She was bored at home and was just just scrolling around, Bryan went to work and Tara was still under home arrest by her dad, there was no one and nothing to do.
She wishes she is not lazy and has a physical job, she works online even without Bryan she could take care of herself and her baby.
"Oh" Emma nodded, "How about I drive to the nearest restaurant?" He suggested.
"Okay" Sherry agreed.
Emma looked around and coincidentally a restaurant was situated not far from where they stood.
They walked into the restaurant.
They sat on the west, it was quiet there and a window was also there with beautiful views.
"What are your orders ma'am?" The waiter asked.
Sherry pointed at Emma, "Order first" She said.
Emma shook his head, "Ladies first" He said with a warm smile.
Sherry smiled and turned her head and looked at the waiter, "Do you have porridge?" She asked.
The waiter gave a nod.
"Okay, Porridge with some vegetables," Sherry said.
"Is that all?" Emma frowned.
Sherry nodded
"But that is so little" Emma said and looked at her worriedly, "Are you sick and are deliberately hiding it?" Emma asked with a suspicious look.
Sherry burst into laughter when she saw his suspicious look. He also knew that she hated medicine and was always pretending to be fine whenever she was sick.
"No, I'm just pregnant, you will be a Godfather soon " Sherry announced.
Emma's expression froze.
He had a weird expression on his face.
Before he forced out a smile.
"Congratulations, you got married? or you hired a surrogate as you always say?" Emma asked with an hopeful gaze.
"Nope, I am married. The other day you saw me and the car I left with my man's car" Sherry said, her eyes lit up when she spoke about Bryan.
Emma's expression changed.
He never thought she would fall in love so early, he planned to propose to her that was why he came back to America but alas he was too late, she already belonged to someone else. He could see that she is in love with the person because of how her eyes lit up when she talked about the person. He was even willing to be a surrogate for her if she wants at least they will be connected by having kids.
But now he didn't dare to say it so their friendship won't be destroyed.
Sherry thought he was dumbfounded because she was married, "I first you to get married" She said with a smug smile, "or are you married?" She asked curiously.
He regained his lost composure and shook his head.
Sherry felt delighted after hearing his answers, "That means I won, maybe by the time you give birth your children will be calling mine Sister " Sherry chuckled at the thought of this.
Emma smiled forcefully, "That is impossible" He snorted.
The waiter served their food and they started eating, no Sherry started eating Emma was eating bit by bit, he already lost his appetite and was just eating so Sherry won't be worried about him.
He overthink, Sherry was enjoying her food and didn't even notice that Emma eating pace was unusual.
….
Sherry finished eating and drank water.
Emma also stopped eating when he saw that she had finished eating.
Sherry looked at his leftovers, "It seems you start eating so little abroad" she commented.
Emma nodded without explaining.
They chatted for a while, Emma was not too enthusiastic but he replied to all her questions with a normal expression so Sherry didn't notice anything amiss.
They stood up and left the restaurant.
Emma offered to drop Sherry's offer but she rejected him saying that where she stayed was not too far from here.
Emma nodded, he got into the car and drove away.
Sherry started walking back home, the doctor asked her to exercise daily as it would make the baby healthy and strong.
"Sherry!" She heard someone call her from behind.
Sherry turned around and looked back, she was surprised to see that it was Charlotte, the so-called Bryan 's niece.
"Hi, how are you doing?" Charlotte asked with a gentle smile.
"I am fine, thank you" Sherry replied with a polite smile.
"You should not be polite with me, we are family," Charlotte said .
"I am sorry if I offend you, this is how I behave to people I am not familiar with " Sherry said with a wary smile.
Charlotte's gentle smile turned distorted when she heard how distanced Sherry sounded.
What is she so proud of ?
After marriage there is still divorce? Is there not? Charlotte thought.
But she didn't dare show her expression.
"Oh I understand," She nodded.
Sherry didn't talk, Charlotte didn't also talk. The air between them was awkward and silent.
Charlotte broke the silence when she saw that Sherry doesn't have any intention to, "I want to tell you something urgent, can we sit down and talk inside?" She nudged her towards the house.
Sherry smiled and acted like she didn't understand her body language, "Okay let's go to a cafe or a teahouse to talk" Sherry agreed.
Charlotte's expression changed.
Her face turned distorted.
She wanted to use the chance and get close to Bryan also, besides she has never entered Bryan's house before.
Charlotte reigned her temper when she remembered her purpose of coming here today, she agreed to sherry's suggestions to find a tea house.
….
Sherry settled down and looked at Charlotte.
"Okay what do you want to tell me?" She asked, going straight to the point, she hated when someone beat around the Bush.
Charlotte took a sip of her tea and put the cup back on the table, "Let's cooperate with each other, I need you and you also need me so let's cooperate" Charlotte also stopped beating around the Bush, since this was her purpose for coming here today she would still say it anyway so why delay or pretend?
Sherry raised an eyebrow, "I don't understand what you mean? Can you explain clearly?" She asked.
"You know that my father and Bryan 's father are brothers right?" Charlotte asked.
Sherry nodded even though she didn't know.
"My father is the eldest son actually and Bryan's father is the youngest, So my father is supposed to be the one to take over the company, not Bryan's father because he is the youngest. My grandparents are biased and handed the company over to Bryan's father, is that good?" Charlotte asked with a sense of justice.
She believed that what her grandparents did was unfair, they treated their family badly, if her father was the one who took over the company, her son would have been in the position Bryan was , not Bryan.
Sherry didn't reply and just looked at her and waited for her to continue.
"You also know that after marriage there is divorce right? I am a woman like you, men are unreliable. They can divorce women at any time. Marriage is not a guarantee to eternal wealth. You should know that. I will never deceive you, Bryan can divorce you at any time and he can also find a better woman at any time so you should try to do something so if he divorces you, you won't be alone without money" Charlotte Said with a convincing face, she looked sincere and honest just like a loving mother who gives advice.
But Sherry was not deceived by her fake facade but she pretended to be, "I also know that, but I don't know what to do. Do you know what I can do? what do you suggest for me to do?" Sherry asked with a helpless face.
Charlotte cheered herself in her heart thinking that Sherry already believed her. She thought she had won, "Of course I have a solution, a problem shared is a problem solved besides we have the same enemy to take down, I have a plan, after we successfully take over the company, I will give you 500 hundred thousand dollars monthly for the rest of your life What do you think? You can divorce Bryan and live as you want " Charlotte said, she had a look of disdain in her eyes. She already knew that Sherry was after Bryan's money that was why she married Bryan.
She was right that Sherry married Bryan because of his money, but it was a marriage contract at the beginning but it is a real marriage now.
Sherry burst into laughter.
Charlotte was confused when she saw her laughing, " Why are you laughing?" She asked.
"Nothing, you are just so funny. So this is why you approached me? Now I understand why Grandpa handed the company to dad, it should be because your family is too scheming" Sherry said with certainty
Charlotte's face changed, "What do you mean? Is the money too small?" She asked.
Sherry chuckled.
The money she could use to buy food if she wants to when she always makes five times of the money every day so what is five hundred thousand dollars?
"You should give a beggar that, besides I don't need your money. And point of correction: without Bryan I can survive. I have hands, legs and am not blind, have a nice day" Sherry dropped some Money on the table, she stood up and left the tea house without turning back.
