MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 12 Episode 12

Cold water splashed onto her face and dripped from her chin. She shut her eyes tightly and took a deep breath tocalm herself down.

As she regained her breath and calmed her mind, she opened her eyes.

She looked better than she had a few minutes before.

In a haste, she grabbed the tissue paper from the side and started wiping the juice off her dress. After she finally cleaned herself, she went out and saw Matthew waiting for her outside.

Sherry was surprised to find her father in the corridor.

She asked, “Why are you here? Are you waiting for—” Slap!

Matthew struck her on the face before she could finish her sentence.

The scorching sensation stung her face.

Her mind went blank for a moment before she looked at her father in confusion.

Matthew stared at her.

“You ungrateful brat, your mother and | have already been putting up with your nonsense with your disrespect for us, and now you’re trying to play gameswith your sister and John? Are you trying to let people know about your past relationship with him? Don’t be an embarrassment to me!”.

Sherry scoffed.

“Mr. Matthew Fowler, what are you afraid of? | have been spoiled in the countryside since | was young and only joined thefamily in my teens.

| didn’t spend enough time there because you two are afraid that people might gossip about me. Tell them that, or just tell them | am not your daughter! Disown me!” Matthew’s expression turned grim. He raised his hand but this time, Sherry took a step back and avoided it.

Matthew scolded her, “How dare you avoid me! Where have you been in the past year?!” Sherry continued to taunt, “Didn’t Shannon and your wifetell you anything?” “What do you mean? Have they known where you’ve been all along?” He looked surprised.

“Of course. While John was choosing his wife at home that day, | was there and | met Shannonat his house.” Sherry noticed the shock on her father’s face, so she continued, “What’s wrong? Didn’t they tell you?” Matthew looked around cautiously to make sure there was no one else in the corridor.

“Why are you at the Stockton Residence?!” “Because | was there the whole year!” Tears trickled down Sherry’s cheeks as she maintained her forced smile.

She never intended for him to find out about this, but why would he, her own father, treat her like an outsider?

She had become John’s mistress fora year so that her family could live a good life, yet her parents treated her poorly, and her father just slapped her without finding out the truth.

Why? What did she do wrong? Was it because she was their daughter? Matthew widened his eyesin disbelief.

“Why were you there for a whole year?” Sherry wiped the tears off her face.

She forced a tight smile and said, “Because John kept me there.” “Why? Why did hekeep you there?” Matthew demanded.

“Do you remember what happened a year ago? When you and your wife knelt before me, asking me to helpyou? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten all about it.” Matthew’s rage dissipated, and he froze.

Maybe because the revelation took him by surprise, he faltered backward.

He managed to hold himself together after a while.” You’re saying because you went to Johnto ask for help, and you made a deal with

him? So, he…” “Why else do you think a rich man like him will invest in your company without any good reason?” Matthew frowned tightly.

He murmured, “No, | remember that he told me that he is interested in our family business and its future development,so he invested in us…” He had once assumed that the investment only took place because Sherry had begged John, but he did not expect her to be locked up for a year.

That would mean that Sherry had been John’s mistress for a whole year! Why would he marryShannon now? His face swiftly turned pale as he connected the dots. He glared at Sherry before he went back to the wedding venue.

In her pathetic state, Sherry grinned softly.
