Caprice nodded at her.

granddaughter Caprice when she realized that Caprice was nowhere to be seen at all.

Julie pointed in a certain direction and informed, “I think I saw John heading toward the exit with Caprice.”
Madam Stockton immediately marched toward the exit.
She walked very quickly.
Just as she was about to reach the exit, she accidentally bumped into a person who was walking in the same
direction as her.
She stumbled and nearly fell.
Fortunately, Julie stepped to the rescue and saved her from the fall.
“I’m sorry, are you okay?” Sherry apologized frantically.

“Who is she? Does anyone know who she is?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen her.”
“I thought only friends and relatives of the Stocktons
were invited, how did she get in here?”
Sherry found herself surrounded.
The color was drained from her face as she turned to Madam Stockton and did what she could to muster a polite
smile. “Madam Stockton, I was just passing by.”

What sort of excuse was that? Even an idiot could tell that she must have come here to snatch Caprice away!

Faced with the circumstances, she quickly conjured a new plan and scowled at Sherry. “How did you sneak in here?
Do I know you?”
