Chapter 1197 Sherry returned to her quarters, washed up, and went to bed.
She instinctively reached out for her phone under her pillow. Her phone was usually turned off, so when she turned
it off, she saw a text from Sylvia.
The texts had come earlier in the day, asking her how she was doing in the Stocktons‘ residence. The text was brief
but was not short of care and love from her friend.
Sherry curled her lips as her friend‘s caring text washed her grievance away.
“I‘m great, Syl. I got a lot more freedom compared to the past year. Though I still can‘t go out of the compound, I
can walk around wherever I want.”
She assumed Sylvia was already asleep at this hour, so she put her phone away after hitting “send“.
To her surprise, her phone buzzed.
“Sherry, did John do anything to you?” Sylvia replied almost immediately.

There‘s no more ravaging me whatsoever. He ordered me to hold his briefcase for a meeting just now, and I got to
eat a feast.”
“What about Shannon ? Is she giving you a hard time?”
“Don‘t worry. She might harass me, but the Stocktons know that I am her older sister, thus she has to play the role
of a kind and understanding wife, so she can only do so much.”
A few seconds later, she received another text from Sylvia.
“Sherry, Odell arranged for his men to go undercover at the Stocktons. If you want to leave , just let me know. We
will think of a way to get you out.”
Sherry‘s eyes glimmered, but it only lasted for a second. She had tried to escape earlier, but the bodyguards came
out from nowhere and stopped her.
Given Odell‘s capability, it was not difficult for him to put his men in the Stocktons‘ residence, but getting her out
would be a huge hurdle to overcome.
If John found out about her escape attempt , aside from making him mad, it might also affect the relationship
between Odell and John‘s companies.
She did not want Sylvia to worry about her. Besides,
someone else wanted her to be away from the Stocktons‘ residence more than she did.
She just did not know when Shannon could come up with a plan to send her away.
Back at the Carters‘ in Westchester, Sylvia was in the room with Odell. She was leaning against his broad chest in
her pajamas.
Ding!
She got a text from Sherry.
“Okay. I still have something to do here. When I want out, I‘ll let you know.”
Sylvia sighed a breath of relief. “Okay. It‘s getting late. Rest early.”

Sylvia put her phone away with a smile.
The man, in the midst of reading his book, looked at her and saw the smile on her face. “What did Sherry say? Does
she want to leave the Stocktons?”
“She said she still has some things to settle there, and
she‘ll let us know if she wants out,” Sylvia said.
Odell nodded. His gaze slightly shifted when he saw her put the phone away. He put his book on the table beside
him and then hugged her in his arms.
Sylvia was caught off guard by the hug. She blushed and said, “Odell, it‘s late. You have to work tomorrow.”
He smiled. “There‘s nothing important to do tomorrow. I can wake up late.”
“I told Isabel and Liam I‘ll send them to school — ”
Her lips were locked before she could finish.
The three little rascals occupied her during the day, and now they wanted to disturb his private time at night? Keep
on dreaming, kids!
