Ice and Fire novel Chapter 116

Another voice said, "You're right! I know that the younger daughter of the Shen clan had been married to Jackson Chu. But I heard that she had fled away five years ago, and that the Chu family had almost turned the city upside down because of it."

The gossip about them spread quickly in the crowd under the neon lights.

Cherry's face turned pale when she heard the people around her talking about her. Her wounds from the past had been uncovered by the crowd, and now her scarred heart started to ache again.

Selina could obviously see that Cherry was shivering. She hadn't expected that someone would mention what had happened five years ago. Her initial thought was to take Cherry here to meet Jackson at the party, and she just wanted Jackson to take Cherry back again.

Suddenly, a man walked up to Cherry, stood beside her, and asked, "Miss Cherry, why did you leave Jackson five years ago? Was it because the Chu family didn't treat you well?"

Cherry didn't answer, and instead lowered her head, without uttering a word.

Another voice was then heard in the crowd, "Miss Cherry, we all know that shortly after you ran away, the Shen Group had gone bankrupt. Did you come back because of that?"

When she heard this, Cherry immediately raised her head to look at that person. Had the Shen Group really gone bankrupt? How come she hadn't known about this? She didn't care about the Shen Group, because no one in the Shen family deserved her care and attention. Cherry didn't expect that the Shen Group would actually go bankrupt, and she vaguely felt that her father Harrison was still powerful and that the Shen Group would never go bankrupt. What was going on? What on earth had happened in the five years while she was absent?

When she saw what Cherry looked like, Selina became a little nervous. After all, she knew about the Shen Group's bankruptcy better than anyone else, but when she saw Cherry's reaction, she could tell that Cherry still cared about it. How could she tell her the truth? She wondered whether she should tell Cherry that Jackson was the one who had given the order. Or that she had been the one who had planned all of it?

Everyone looked at Cherry, and waited for her answer.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Jackson is here!"

Everyone then turned their heads to Jackson, who was walking towards them.

Cherry and Selina also looked at the spot where everyone was staring at, and when they clearly saw who the person beside him was, both of them were surprised.

Selina murmured?in disbelief, "How could this happen? Sally's dress..."

Cherry was already in a daze. What happened shocked her, and nothing could have been worse for her than that specific moment.

With her arm in Jackson's, Sally walked towards them gracefully, satisfied. She put on a big grin on her face, and smiled at everyone she met, but her smile suddenly disappeared when she saw Cherry, and even more, when she noticed Cherry's dress, her face became ferocious.

Actually, the moment that Jackson arrived inside the hall, he had noticed Cherry. His desire was soon aroused when he saw her beautiful dress on her perfect figure, and he was completely attracted by her. Her dress was exactly same as Sally's, but it was a perfect fit on her body and expressionless face.
