Chapter 994
Sylvia glanced at Sherry’s clean face. “You guys go ahead then. There’s no need to worry about me.
There’s another guest room over there. I can spend the night there so I won’t have to go back to the
previous room. I won’t be a nuisance to either of you.”
She refused to leave. She had a feeling John was angry enough to kill Sherry at this moment. She had
to stay on to keep her friend safe.
John’s smile disappeared. “Mrs. Carter, are you insisting on staying?”
Sylvia’s gaze shifted.
Sherry slammed the table and yelled, “You b*stard! Your anger is aimed at me, so don’t talk to my
friend like that!”
John took his glasses off and rubbed the lens with his fingers.
All at once, the atmosphere became gloomy.
Sylvia felt the chills running down her back. She said, “Sherry, I’m fine. Please calm down.”
“Mrs. Carter, I think it’s better if you leave the room first.”.
Now that John was looking at her without his glasses, the grim and viciousness of a mature man could
clearly be seen.
As though he had seen through Sylvia’s thoughts, he said, “Don’t worry. I’m a gentleman, I won’t hit a
woman.”

Since John had already given his assurance, it would only make things worse between the two of them
if Sylvia insisted on staying
Sylvia got up and looked at Sherry.
Sherry remained seated with her arms crossed and acted as if she was not afraid of the man. “Syl, just
go. He won’t do anything to me.”
Sylvia tightened her lips and left.
As soon as she stepped out of the living hall, she heard a loud crash, as if the whole dining table had
been overturned.
She turned around but the maid blocked her way.
The maid said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Carter. It’s a common occurrence around here. Nothing bad will
happen.”
“Are they always like that?” she asked.
The maid sighed. “Yeah. I really don’t understand Ms. Fowler. Countless women wish to win Master
Stockton’s heart, yet she does the exact opposite. She even tries to provoke him and make him mad. I
believe that she spat on Master Stockton’s face on purpose.”
Sylvia remained quiet. With her understanding of her friend, she, too, believed Sherry had done it on
purpose.
The loud sounds quieted down after a while.
Sylvia sighed and left.
The maid followed her out and continued, “Mrs. Carter. Please

try to advise Ms. Fowler when you come over tomorrow. I am really worried that she might get herself
killed when Master Stockton’s patience runs out. I knew she’s a good person deep down inside but
she’s behaving stupidly in front of the man.”
Sylvia chuckled helplessly.
Earlier that day, she had thought that Sherry and the maid were enemies but now, it seemed more like
a love-hate relationship.
“You don’t know Sherry. She’s not stupid.”.
“Then why does she insist on continually making Master Stockton mad?”
Sylvia remained silent.
If she was correct, Sherry was probably doing everything on purpose just to exhaust his patience, in
the hopes that he might throw her out of the house.
Back in the living hall, all the plates and cutlery had been scattered all over the floor.
John lifted Sherry up from her seat as soon as Sylvia left. The dining table had been knocked over as
she struggled to free herself from being restrained by him.
The man carried her to the bathroom and pinned her down in the shower.
The warm shower washed over their bodies like the pouring rain.
He cupped her chin and kissed her, as his arms tightened
around her waist and he bent her backwards. He paused and chuckled. “It seems like you enjoy taking
a shower with me.”
“F*ck-Ugh!”
He silenced her with another kiss,
The kiss lasted for some time before he finally released her lips.
Sherry slipped out of his arms like a slippery fish and tried to run outside.
John sneered. He quickly strode towards her and grabbed her by the waist.
Splash!
Before she knew it, she was tossed into the water-filled tub.
The maid brought Sylvia a new serving of dinner after returning to her room.
She only had a few bites as she had lost her appetite after what had happened.
A bodyguard had been stationed outside her door.
