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 went to lie down on the couch, she stared at the ceiling above, her head in a daze.
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.
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.
