Chapter 1109 Janine wore a smile on her face. "All of you are too kind. We just taughther to be humble
and grateful.
We didn't really put her through anything special, or teach her how to find a magnificent man like John.
It's fate that brought them together." “That's because Shannon is a charming girl.” Janine chuckled
shyly.
“Oh, you guys flatter me.
Come on, let’s eat.”
Someone raised his glass.
“Here's a toast to celebrate Shannon finding a great man like John.” Matthew raised his glass
andboomed , “Yeah, a toast!” Everyone at the table raised their glasses into the air.
Only Sherry continued to munch on her food and ignored the proposed toast.
Everyone stared at her.
Sherry sensed their gaze and responded with a smile,“ You guys go ahead, don’t mind me.”
CongratulateJohn and Shannon? She simply could not do it.
She was not a saintess that could forgive the dirty couple.
Everyone frowned at her reaction and then turned to Matthew and Janine for further instructions.
Both of them wore a frosty look at Sherry's reaction.
Finally, it was Janine who recovered her composure and nudged her husband.
Matthew then changed his expression and said, "Let's just ignore her.
Here, a toast to Shannon!” "Yeah!” Everyone ignored Sherry and drained their beverages to the last
drop.
Soon, one of the relatives, a middle-aged man, switched his attention to Sherry.
“Sherry, I haven’t seen you for a while now.
What have you been up to?" Sherry looked at the man who looked well-maintained for his age.
His features resembled that of Janine’s.
She barely remembered the man.
She only remembered that Janine had a brother named Jake; this must be him.
She looked at the man's saccharine smile and said, “Hi? I don’t remember having a young and
handsome uncle.
Have we met before?" Her question silenced the table again.
Jake was stunned.
He did not expect Sherry to not remember him, yet call him young and handsome.
Was it a sarcastic remark, or was it to insinuate that they were not close? The others were caught by
surpriseas well, and it fueled their resentment for Sherry.
How could she not recognize her own uncle and even dare to voice it out in public? She should have
known that it would embarrass himin front of everyone.
Both Matthew and Janine responded grimly.
Bam! Matthew slammed the table and shouted, “He is your Uncle Jake! How could you not
recognizehim? Mind your words!” Sherry simply hummed a reply and smiled at Jake.
“Uncle Jake, I’m sorry.
I've only been in the family for a few years, and my mother only brought Shannon home, so I never got
the chance to see youoften.
I didn't do it on purpose." Her words silenced the table once more.
Everyone else turned to Janine.
Jake’s expression changed.
He might resent her for being rude, but he managed to keep his cool.
“It’s okay…
Like you said, we don't meet often, so it's normal that you don’t recognize me.” Janine grunted.
“Sherry, are you trying to cause a scene here? If you are not happy with me, we can talk about it at
home after the banquet.
Don’t embarrass me in front
of everyone!”
Sherry scoffed.
“I didn’t mean to speak at all.
You guys made me." It was Jake who had spoken to her while she was eating, so it was not herfault.
