Chapter 1226 Julie sighed. “With that feisty attitude of hers, she would have caused a scene in front of John if she
didn‘t get the pills.”
The sudden epiphany rushed into Emerence’s head. She added, “Ms. Julie, you are really a meticulous person. It is
the Stockton family‘s honor to have you in charge of the house.”
Julie smiled. “Aunt Emerence, please don’t flatter me. I‘m just glad that I can share the burden with Mother and
John.”
Emerence was moved by Julie‘s caring and sentimental side. “If only you were Master John‘s wife, the Stocktons
would have thrived in harmony and peace.”
Julie‘s gaze shifted. She wore a strict expression and said,
“Nonsense. John has a family now, and I‘m his sister–in – law.”
Emerence immediately realized that she had used the wrong words at the wrong time. She immediately
apologized, “I‘m sorry, Ms. Julie. I didn‘t mean it. I‘m just moved by your personality and capabilities. No one can

Julie’s gaze softened, and so did her tone. “Aunt Emerence, I‘m telling you this because I treat you as one
of my own. I‘ll pretend that I didn‘t hear anything today, so please refrain from saying something like that again in
the future, especially not in front of anyone. Do you understand?”
Emerence sighed a breath of relief. “I understand, Ms. Julie! I promise I won‘t say something like that again!”
Julie smiled. “You can go back to your work now. Keep an eye on Sherry. If she has any other requests, try to satisfy
her.”
She left after that.
Seeing her off, Emerence grumbled in her heart, ‘It has almost been six years now since the second master passed
away. I remember they were newlyweds when that happened. Given his medical condition, I believe they hadn‘t
even made love yet, and she became widowed. She‘s still so young. Is she going to be a widow for the rest of her
life?
‘Was it because she couldn‘t bear letting go of the title? If she really wished to continue to be Mrs. Stockton , why
didn‘t she go after Master John?‘
The complexity of the matter was not something a mere employee like her could figure out.
Meanwhile, at Shannon‘s place, after knowing that John had spent the night with Sherry at the employee‘s dorm,
Shannon angrily smashed the vase on the floor. It had been two days since he left that afternoon, and he did not
come home for her once. Now that he came back, he went straight to Sherry, slept with her, and left without saying
anything. The man had no space for her in his heart!
The more Shannon thought about it, the more furious she got. She smashed a couple more things on the ground,
and with it, her gentle and caring demeanor.
What was left on her face was ferocity and resentment.” Bitch! That bitch!”
Celine stood further away without making a noise. She waited until Shannon calmed down slightly before she said,
“Madam , please calm down. You‘re going to hurt yourself.”
Shannon shouted at her, “I‘m not stupid! Get out of my face!”
Celine immediately ran outside.

In the past two days that she spent at home, not only Madam Stockton and Julie, but even the maids looked at her
differently. Some of them even despised her for her fake personality. Her gentle and caring side was nothing but a
front.
If this continued , more and more people would believe that she was faking it all the time and disrespect would
follow.
She could not allow this to continue. She must think of a way to make Sherry disappear.
Back at the Carters‘ residence in Westchester, Sylvia came out of Madam Carter‘s room. Maybe because of Madam
Carter‘s age or maybe it was the trauma from the fall, she started to forget things starting about a week ago. She
would even forget herself at times.
It was just an hour ago when she tried to go out of the house herself, looking for her grandson. She was worried
that the stepmother would bully her grandson, so she got anxious.
Fortunately, the bodyguards were there to stop her.
Sylvia and Aunt Tonya brought her back and explained the situation to her. They even video–called Odell, who was
working outside, just to calm her down.
It took them quite the effort, but Madam Carter eventually regained her awareness.
