Chapter 85 – Provocation
The words had only been out of her mouth for a short time when Sherry stepped down the steps and emerged from the upstairs room, looking at the two men in the living room, her brow slowly furrowing.
“Sherry, I’m sorry I can’t help you, Aaron won’t agree to call the police.” Nola snaps, pretending to be kind, “You could use a little aggravation.”
“After all, it’s not good for anyone if the news gets out, do you think?”
She deliberately blurred some of the words.
Aaron’s brow locked and he gazed at Sherry with some complexity.
In that instant, Sherry muffled a muffled hmmm, as if acquiescing to what Nola had said, she was still carrying a suit bag in her hand, “Mr. Swift, this suit, I’ll return it to you when I’ve washed it.”
It was the only thing she could do.
“No need, I’ll take care of it, and you know it, Aaron has a cleanliness problem.” Nola snatched it up ahead of him.
What she said was, indeed, true.
That outfit, Aaron had no intention of asking for more.
But the words hit Sherry’s heart with another blow.
“Then Mr. Swift, I’ll be on my way.” Sherry was barefoot before she slammed the Swift Family door on the cold floor without looking back.
In that moment, she felt no different from the domestic animals being sold in that van.
The same humility, the same lowliness.
With the lights of the Swift Family so dazzling behind her, Sherry wrapped herself tighter in her clothes and quickened her pace to leave.
“Aaron, why don’t you go and have a shower too, I’ll arrange for a driver and take Sherry back.” Nola said, with a slight smile, and pushed him up the stairs.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just in time, Aaron’s mobile phone rang.
He scanned the memo name, picked it up and walked into the bedroom.
Nola was in the Swift Family living room, looking at the closed door of the upstairs room and dialed the number in her mobile phone, “Sister Tacy, I’ll take care of the rest, the person you found, it’s full of holes.”
Over there was Tacy’s angry cursing.
“I didn’t expect this Sherry to be so good either …”
“Alright, I know all about it, I’ll get my brother on it.” A hint of impatience dripped from Nola’s words, “Also, Sister Tacy you need to remember that if anyone gets this on you, you better figure out what to do about it.”
There was a clear flicker there.
“Could it be that Sherry has the nerve to call the police?”
Nola smiled faintly, “She wouldn’t dare, but there’s no guarantee that something like that wouldn’t happen.”
All Tacy had to do was let go, “Okay, I get it.”
With the power of the Stephanie Family, it was no problem to keep such a little news down.
After talking to Nola, Tacy was not at peace with how she felt, and listening to Nola’s tone of voice, she felt that this was going to get bigger and bigger.
She had a very bad feeling in her heart.
And at this time, in the upstairs room of the Swift Family.
Aaron’s eyes grew darker as he listened to Eral’s report, “Are you sure?”
“The driver of that van’s fingerprints don’t match the ones on Sherry’s clothes, and there should be two other people working at the same time, but this driver has a record of messages on his phone from people who have been threatened, so if we call the police, we’ll inevitably spook them.”
“Keep checking.”
Aaron’s voice was unmistakably cold.
“Mr. Swift, how far did it go to find out?” Eral asked.
“Check until I’m satisfied.”
Sherry returned home with no energy in her body.
Standing at the door of the flat, shivering from the cold, but the phone and bag had long since been lost somewhere.
In the end, a kind neighbor helped her find a locksmith.
“Little girl, why did you get like this? Did you meet a bad man!” The neighborhood elder sister said with concern, “Do you need me to accompany you to the police station?”
It turns out that anyone looking at her like that would wonder if she had been in one of those things.
Sherry shook her head lightly, “No, thanks.”
She took some change from home and paid for the lock.
Closing the door again, the whole world outside had no more to do with her.
She fell headlong into bed and wrapped her whole body tightly in the covers until sweat began to break out on her forehead and neck, and she sobbed twice and whimpered …
Luckily, Aaron went first.
Luckily, he went before those who were going to catch her.
Or else she would have been taken somewhere else by now when the lorry driver woke up.
Those people dared to take her away from the hospital in broad daylight, the power behind them, should not be underestimated, not to mention, that is also the hospital invested by Night Group and Henry Family.
Either that or the other side is oblivious and doesn’t care enough to make an enemy of the Henry Family.
Either that, or the mastermind behind it is trying to use Sherry as a person to attack the Night Group.
Sherry sobbed slowly, not even a little sleepy as the day dawned.
So when Eral came over with her lawyer, Sherry still looked tired, and she didn’t open the door fully at first, holding it against the doorway and watching them warily.
“I don’t need a lawyer.” Sherry said with a wrinkled brow as she clutched the edge of the door.
“It is Mr. Swift’s intention that this matter, will be dealt with by THE lawyer, Lloyd, and you only need to give the evidence you know.” Eral explained patiently.
But Sherry still refused.
“I’m not going to call the police or press charges, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
At the very least, she had the right to refuse to be a pawn in their hands, to be manipulated.
Eral saw her move to close the door and reached out to block it.
“Sherry, this is a kind gesture from Mr. Swift, if you don’t communicate with your lawyer, then I will turn to the police and have them forcefully involved, and when that happens, things will be a lot more troublesome.” Eral thought Sherry was a pretty smart person, why was she so turned around today.
Sherry certainly understood all that he was saying.
But she knew better than that, even if the police and lawyers were called, things would not change.
It was a great kindness for Aaron to be able to go to her.
She was no longer expecting anything else.
Otherwise, she will surely pay for her obsession.
Eral didn’t understand at all how Sherry could be so resistant to this, and they talked for half a day, but couldn’t convince him that the legal department, for its part, had other work to do.
the lawyer, Lloyd had to go first.
Eral waited downstairs for a while, but Sherry didn’t come around, so he had to report the incident to Aaron.
I thought Aaron would get angry and lash out.
But there, only a faint word came.
“I’ll come over.”
Then the phone was hung up.
Ten minutes later, there was another knock on the door.
Sherry pulled the door open, “Eral, didn’t I say …”
Halfway through her sentence, she looked up to meet the man’s gaze.
“Get out of the way.” He reached out with his hand and spun her halfway around, then stepped right in, there was really nowhere to land in the cramped room in front of him.
It is also just the sofa that is set up right in the middle, so you can sit for a little while.
“Mr. Swift, I’ve cleared it with Eral, I don’t want to call the police or engage any legal services, it was all a misunderstanding, just my own carelessness.” Sherry finished her sentence in one breath.
“Besides, it’s really not worthwhile for you personally, Mr. Swift, to attend to such a trivial matter as mine.”
That bit of self-awareness she still has.
