Chapter 1202 “I don‘t want to go. These little events are entirely meaningless.” It
was always one and the same thing. She had to entertain one guest after another and make boring
small talk. If she accidentally blurted out the wrong thing, she would end up getting punished.
Her mother was the worst offender of them all and always nagged at her whenever she went.
Sherry cocked an eyebrow upon hearing this and stayed silent.
“Don‘t you want to join in the fun? Why don‘t you go instead?” Queenie suddenly suggested.
Sherry answered, “I‘d rather eat and watch TV here. This is much more interesting.”
Queenie seemed to ponder for a moment, then she scoffed and told Hailey to sit down again.

Meanwhile, a fleet of expensive cars was arriving outside
the Stocktons‘ residence.
Julie and Shannon were dressed to the nines and were busy greeting the arriving guests
and making conversation. The butler of the house, Marlow, was with them the entire time.
Julie was very good at entertaining the guests. Shannon stood next to her
and chimed into the conversation from time to time. Both of them wore polite and welcoming smiles on
their faces.
Soon, the Browns arrived, and Mason could be seen stepping out of the car in a tailored suit.
Something gleamed in Julie‘s eyes as she turned to Shannon.
Shannon seemed suddenly arrested by the sight of Mason.
It was only when he began to approach them

Mason nodded and entered.
When Shannon gazed at his back as he strode into the house, something suddenly flashed in her eyes
as if a bright idea occurred to her.

Shannon withdrew her gaze and stated, “Oh, you
know, I was just thinking about how I was supposed to be
engaged to him. It does make me feel a little guilty seeing him all by himself now.”
Julie smiled. “I‘m sure he‘s holding up well enough on his own. He didn‘t seem too dejected or anything

When
it was time for everyone to freely mingle around, Shannon excused herself to a quiet corner since she w

you.”
Mason frowned and answered crossly, “You‘re Mrs. Stockton now. It‘ll look bad if we were seen talking
privately. If you have anything to say, you should just say it right here.”
A morbid look surfaced in Shannon‘s eyes upon detecting the apparent aversion Mason felt toward her.
She brushed it aside and declared with a smile, “It‘s about my sister.”
“Sherry?” This seemed to capture his interest. He asked in an anxious voice, “What happened to her? Is

Mason immediately set the wine glass down and walked out with her.
