Chapter 1055 Soon, everyone lost interest in Sherry when they noticed how she was not up to
anything and was only here for
the food and wine. They all went back to their previous conversations as they waited for the true star of
the evening to show up.
It was around the point that Sherry was almost finished with her food when there was a clamor amongs
t the crowd.
“Look, it‘s Master Stockton!”
“Master Stockton is here!”
Sherry looked at where the center of the commotion was and quickly noticed a tall figure striding over.
His long and slender legs glided gracefully
underneath him. He wore a faint, charming smile that seemed to dazzle even underneath the radiant su
n. If anybody could be compared to a prince coming out of a fairytale, it was this man. A group of beauti
ful young women flocked after him wherever he went.
This man was none other than John Stockton.
Sherry scoffed at the sight of him.
A wolf was what he was.
She turned away and directed her focus back to her food. However, despite her best attempts to stay o
ut of trouble, trouble ended up finding her instead.
Before long, she found herself at the center of the commotion. She looked up and saw John quickly ad
vancing toward her with a group of ladies trailing after him.
She frowned.
What was this bastard up to this time?
Before she could figure it out though, John had brought the entire group to her side.
He turned around and leaned against a pillar, then he casually snatched up a glass of wine on a tray ne
xt to Sherry. He turned to his group of followers and announced with a gentle smile, “Thank you for com
ing, ladies. Let me give all of you a toast.”
How could
they resist the warm and gentle glow of his eyes? They all packed toward the tray next to Sherry to get
some wine to toast John.
Sherry barely had time to rise and give her seat to them before they forcefully pushed her
out of the way.
In the mix of confusion and chaos, she stumbled, fell, and even rolled on the ground like a fool.
When she pushed herself up, she met Queenie‘s eyes that were full of mockery.
Everyone‘s attention was solely focused on the star of the night, John. It was only Queenie who was lo
oking at her. She had a deep suspicion that it was Queenie who had kicked her from behind
and made her fall.
What had she done to offend the Stocktons‘ spoiled daughter?
She glowered at Queenie who grimaced and stuck out her tongue at Sherry in response.
Sherry was rendered speechless by this and simply rolled her eyes. It was an insult to her intellect to e
ven give this woman the time of her day. There was no point in fussing
about with this Stockton imbecile.
At this juncture, she rose and walked to the other side of the venue.
To her surprise, Queenie rose and followed after her. She kept a safe distance behind Sherry, as if
afraid of being struck. Then, she began to provoke her, “Sherry, I thought my brother invited you here.
Why is he ignoring you now? Why did you get kicked out?”
“Queenie , do you have an itch that needs scratching ?” Sherry glared at her and gestured with her
hands. “Want me to scratch it for you?”
Queenie immediately lunged backward and shot a look at
her. “Don‘t you dare even try!”
Sherry laughed at this response. “Well, don‘t be shy. Come forward and you‘ll know if I dare to try to or n
“Heh, enjoy this while it lasts because once my brother finds a suitable partner, the first thing he will do i
ever think about showing up in our presence ever again!” With that, Queenie turned and trotted away.
Sherry scoffed at this threat, “I can‘t wait.”
She found another quiet corner and sat down.
Alas, before she could even make
herself comfortable in her new seat, there was yet another commotion.
The group of ladies that crowded around John suddenly returned to the center of the venue
and seemed to be fussing about something. They were frantically brushing their hair, attending to the cre
anticipation of something important.
That was when Queenie suddenly approached Sherry again and taunted her, “My brother is
going to pick his first dance partner
for the night. My mother said that the first person he dances with tonight will be his future wife. Who do y
her.
