Jackson did not say a word. He loosened her hands from his waist, turned away and departed from the house.
Seeing Jackson go, Sally He thought of Cherry and, immediately, a murderous expression appeared in her eyes. She said to herself, 'Cherry, I cannot share this man with you. Jackson belongs to me."
Two days later, Sally He was expecting Jackson to arrive home early in the morning, but even by noon, there was no sign of him. It occurred to her that she could take this opportunity to meet Cherry.
Arriving at Jackson's home and seeing the high-grade apartment, Sally He was so dissatisfied that she believed she should be the one living in this place, not Cherry.
Sally He rang the bell on the door, and waited for Cherry to open the door for her.
Hearing the bell, Cherry was curious. Who would come to her home at this hour? Had Jackson come back?
Cherry walked there and opened the door, being completely surprised by the sight of Sally He standing there.
"Why have you come here?" Cherry asked.
"Why? Why can't I come here?" Sally He retorted, "It's not only your home, but also Jackson's."
"What do you want?" Negative feelings rose in Cherry's heart. Looking into Sally He's eyes, she felt that Sally He was like a time bomb that could erupt at any moment.
Sally He did not answer Cherry's question. Pushing her aside, Sally He walked inside.
Sally He looked at the furnishings in the room. Every furniture, every thing here was so sumptuous. Everything was so neat and Sally He was anxious to own it all.
Having no clue what Sally He was going to do, Cherry just followed her around waiting to see what she intended to do.
Sally He did not realize that she has been secretly photographed when she approached Cherry's home.
"Sally He, what are you planning to do?" Cherry couldn't help asking.
'I just want to see what a lovely and warm home Jackson has given you. I'll ask for a better one in the future.' Sally He said to herself, without looking at Cherry.
Cherry walked up to Sally He, with her finger pointed at the door, and said, "Sally He, this is my home. Please leave."
