Chapter 1199
It was a fact that her own family disliked her.
Julie tightened her lips. She curled her lips into a smile and said, “If you‘re not bothered by it, that‘s gre
at. But if you need any help, just tell me. John cares about you, which makes you my friend. If I can do
anything to help, I will do anything within my capabilities.”
Although Sherry did not know why Julie approached her with goodwill, she put on a polite expression a
nd thanked her. “Well, thank you in advance, Julie.”
Julie said, “Don‘t mention it.”
Sherry then walked off without pause.
The Stocktons‘ residence was huge, bigger than Sherry could imagine. The gardens alone were a few t
imes bigger than a common house outside.
She took a long stroll around the garden before she came
back.
Because her stomach was growling in hunger, she wanted to search for something to eat, but she acci
dentally arrived at Queenie‘s place where she saw Queenie helping
herself to a table of snacks and pastries.
It was a feast for the girl, so assuming that the girl could not finish them, she went up and snatched a pi
ece to put into her mouth.
Queenie was stunned for quite a while before she realized that
Sherry had just eaten one of her pastries. She glared and grumbled, but Sherry ignored her and contin
ued eating.
Queenie was both speechless and breathless. After a while, she sat down sulking and glared at Sherry.
It was until Hailey pushed another cart of pastries over that Queenie bolted up and went over to the car
t to protect it as though she was a mother lion protecting her cubs from hunters.
Sherry was surprised to see Hailey here. “Why are you here?”
Haily was similarly surprised. “That should be my question to you. Shouldn‘t you be at the master‘s plac
e? What are you doing here? Don‘t you know you are breaking the rules by running away from your wo
rkplace during working hours?”
Queenie was confused. “What are you two talking about?”
Sherry swallowed her food and asked, “You‘re working here at Queenie‘s place?”
“Yeah,” Hailey said.
The questioning went on for a few more minutes until Sherry connected all the dots.
On the day of the wedding , after Sherry left, Emerence summoned Hailey back to rearrange her work
schedule .
However, she had been taking care of Sherry before
that, and Sherry was some secret lover to the master of the house. With the new Mrs. Stockton moving
in, the other maids found Hailey to be a disgrace , and some of them bullied her.
It was Queenie who
spotted her being bullied by the others, so after some rearrangements, she ended up working
for Queenie.
Sherry glanced at Queenie in disbelief
after hearing Hailey‘s story. She could not believe that the arrogant Ms. Stockton would help someone i
n distress.
Queenie sensed her gaze again. “Why are you looking at me? I brought her in because I need more pe
ople here, not because of you.”
Sherry giggled. She picked an ice cream from the cart and ate it in front of Queenie.
The rich chocolate taste and the creamy vanilla were a perfect combination on the tongue
Queenie grunted while Hailey pouted in silence.
John usually left for work early in the moming and came home late
at night. He would leave for work again after dinner.
He only spent a handful of days at home, so other than being ordered around, Sherry lived
a rather carefree life,
Julie was polite to her whereas Shannon dared not do anything to her because of her reputation, and no
Sherry slept when she was tired and freeloaded at Queenie‘s place when she was hungry.
The carefree days went on for half a month.
On this particular night, when John stayed out again, Sherry got off work and returned to the staff quarte
other maids.
