Chapter 1220 She rose immediately and jabbed an accusatory finger at Sherry, “All those years ago, you were the
reason my brother got kicked out of the family by my father. He gave up his rights as heir to the family assets and
cut off all relations with us, he suffered so much for your sake and you complained that he was too poor for you?
You... as if that wasn‘t enough , you even went and dumped him!” Sherry pursed her lips and held on to her
silence.
The more Queenie thought about it, the more vexed she became, “Sherry, I can‘t believe I thought of you as a
friend, I can‘t believe you were such a heartless and materialistic person all this time!”
She flung the platter of food she had snatched from Sherry moments ago to the ground, and immediately stomped
out, completely furious.
Hailey who came in with her cast a conflicted look at Sherry before running out after Queenie.
The living room fell silent again.
The platter was smashed into pieces when Queenie flung it against the floor, but Sherry could still use the spoon
and fork to pick off whatever remnants of food scattered over the floor.
Despite that, she felt like she had lost her appetite and could hardly stomach another bite of food. She got up and

Distant memories from another lifetime suddenly resurfaced from the depths of her mind.
Her first meeting with John was when she caught Mason and Shannon in bed.
The Browns and the Fowlers already had plans to join their families with an engagement then and had already
planned to match Mason with Shannon. The hiccup in their plans came when they discovered that Shannon was not
the rightful daughter of the Fowlers.
The still – living elder of the family, Master Brown at the time insisted that Sherry got wed to Mason instead. Since
Sherry and Mason were into each other as well, Matthew and Janine conceded to Master Brown‘s wishes and
agreed to the arrangement.
Several years later, Master Brown passed away. That was when Mason and Shannon got together.
Mason said that he had drunk too much that night, Shannon was bawling her eyes out, devastated by the betrayal.
That was when the two families collectively decided to arrange an engagement between Shannon and Mason
instead without ever considering Sherry‘s feelings.
It ended sourly for all parties involved, Sherry ended up walking out on her family and essentially cut things off with
them.
That was when she ran into John in a nightclub.
It was her roommates in college who dragged her to the nightclub with them. They happened to meet a group of
other friends in the club and Sherry had a little too much to drink that night. They had dared her to head into a box
and kiss any stranger of her choice.
She was so young at the time and was fueled by both liquor courage and the recklessness of youth. She took the
dare and walked straight into the VIP box where she seized the most handsome man she could find and kissed him.
That man was none other than John Stockton.
To this day, she could still remember the taste of his lips. She remembered the soft touch of his lips and the smell of
alcohol, but it was not unpleasant and even invigorating . After the two shared a kiss, John blushed shyly.
She bolted away after the kiss. Two days later, John found
her.
She remembered that he came to her wearing a shining white shirt. His feature was like that of a roman sculpture
and he stood tall as a tree, his figure was like that of a
model‘s. He was undoubtedly the most handsome man she had seen.
They began dating shortly after that.

The Stocktons turned into a shadow of their former glory shortly after the passing of the elder Master Stockton.
Knowing that Sherry was of a common background, they wanted her to break up with John.
John tried to convince his family to acknowledge his relationship with Sherry but it never worked, then he ended up
cutting ties with his family.
Sherry remember that night like it was yesterday. John showed up at her place in nothing but a common white t
shirt and trousers, not a single cent to his name. He embraced her tightly and told her, “Sherry, I cut off ties with
my family, we can be together without worrying about being judged now.”
He held her tightly.
She embraced him tightly as well.
They lived a simple life together in a regular unit that they rented together.
She went to school while working a part–time job on the side.
