Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 1053
Chapter 1053 “You two broke up a long time ago, so why would he bring you here?”
“How would I know? Why don‘t you ask him yourself?”
With that, Sherry turned around and walked away.
Janine immediately barked, “Stop right there. I haven‘t finished talking to you yet!”
Sherry continued to press forward without the slightest intention of stopping.
Janine cursed her again and again, but Sherry was nearly out of her sight by this point.
As she was about
to step back into the party, Shannon emerged from a dark corner. Her long hair draped over her should
ers like a lion‘s mane. She wore a snow–
white dress fit snugly around her waist and carried a luxury handbag. Her jewelry sparkled as she walk
ed. She was clearly a woman of exuberant and refined taste.
It did not take much to figure out that she was the favorite child of the family.
She addressed Sherry with a faint smile, “Sister, long time no see. Where have you been all year?”
Sherry snapped at her, “Drop the act. She‘s not even
here.”
Shannon had always been good at presenting herself as someone completely harmless. If not for the c
ountless times when Sherry had been set up and ruined by her in the past, she would also have been f
ooled by her feigned affection.
Despite Sherry‘s statement, she continued to wear the same saccharine smile. “Sister, what are you
talking about? You‘re my sister. Of course, I care about you.”
Sherry scoffed, “Who are you calling sister? Are we related by blood?”
Shannon froze for a second before continuing , “Even if we are not related by blood , Mom
and Dad have always treated me like I‘m their biological daughter, so there is no reason for me to not d
eem you as my sister as well.”
“Even though I am their born daughter, I have never thought of them as my
parents. Don‘t even think about getting on my good side. I‘m not on the same level as you folks.”
Shannon seemed hurt upon hearing this.
Upon seeing her reaction, Sherry felt like throwing up
everything she had just eaten.
Before she could get a word out though , Janine‘s
vexed voice appeared from behind, “Shannon, didn‘t I ask you to wait for me over there? I told
you to not talk to her.
What if people find out that you two are related? You will be shamed and disgraced, you‘ll lose your
place in Glanchester!”
Shannon whined, “But, Mom, she is my sister after all—”
“Oh, come here. Don‘t ever talk to her again!” Janine interrupted her.
Shannon went to her with an aggrieved look.
Sherry had long since gotten used to these antics of hers and simply rolled her eyes at them
before walking away.
However, Janine was still feeling incredibly upset.
Shannon apologized with a pout, “Mom, it‘s all my fault. I must
be the reason why Sister refuses to come home this entire time. I‘m the
reason why she sees you and Dad as her enemies.”
This drew a reaction out of Janine, and she quickly corrected Shannon, “Hush now. It‘s not your fault.
She‘s just an immature, ridiculous
brat. Both your father and I would never even acknowledge her if she wasn’t our flesh and blood. Reme
I never want to hear you blaming yourself for these things again, got it?” Shannon smiled wryly
and said, “Okay, I understand now, Mom.”
Janine smiled and gently caressed her face before leading her back to the party.
Shortly after they left, Sherry emerged from behind a tree. Despite the warm glow of the sun, her face gl
a sheet of ice. There was not a trace of warmth underneath her blank stare.
It seemed like her mother had conveniently forgotten about what happened a year ago when she had
gotten on her knees and pleaded desperately for her to seek John‘s help to salvage the family crisis
at the time.
Then again, it all made sense. No matter
what, Shannon was their dear and beloved daughter. The only thing they
took away from that experience was the sheer humiliation
they had to endure when they had gone down on their knees and begged her for
help. Meanwhile, they had willingly chosen to discard the memory of her going out of her way
to help them out of a crisis.
