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 great. 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 and 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 times bigger
than a common house outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe 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 accidentally
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 piece 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 continued 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 cart 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 place? What are
you doing here? Don‘t you know you are breaking the rules by running away from your workplace 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherry glanced at Queenie in disbelief after hearing Hailey‘s story. She could not believe that the arrogant Ms.
Stockton would help someone in distress.
Queenie sensed her gaze again. “Why are you looking at me? I brought her in because I need more people 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 one else
dared to order her around, especially the other maids.
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 quarters where
she ran into Emerence holding a meeting with the other maids.
