None of them dared to voice what was on their mind for fear of offending John. After a while, the chief firefighter spoke up, "Young Master Stockton, if there was someone residing inside the house when the fire broke out, then I suggest that we carefully search the surrounding area.” The glimmer of hope in John’s eyes immediately faded away again when this suggestion was brought to him. The chief firefighter did not make any further suggestions, and he went off on the mission with his men. Meanwhile, John’s crew of bodyguards stood next to him and observed him cautiously, waiting for his next move. John stood there for a long time, then he suddenly peered at them and ordered in a hoarse and weak voice, “You guys go with them and search the area.” They did as they were told and went off. John was left by himself. The only thing heard in the forest was the pattering of rain. His legs were getting tired, so he decided to kneel on the ground, his feet stamping the p

Chapter 1632

John came up with something on the spot. "Daddy went for a site inspection, it was a very dusty place and it got all over Daddy.” "Oh.” Caprice bought the story without any suspicion. She pressed her cheeks against John’s, ignoring the spots of dirt all over his face. Shortly after that, John walked into the living room with Caprice in his arms. Madam Stockton and Officer Emmanuel were sitting on the couch talking. Queenie sat silently next to them. When John showed up, they quickly rose and greeted him. Both Madam Stockton and Queenie were startled by the haggard state John was in. Officer Emmanuel was similarly taken aback to see him in such a poor state. This was nothing like the John they always knew. What happened to his usual suave and careful preservation of image? Officer Emmanuel knew better than to be disrespectful and greeted John as if nothing had happened, "Young Master Stockton, good evening.” John nodded. A chair was brought to them. John

Chapter 1633

John cast a glance at Caprice who was now sleeping soundly and stated firmly, "I'm not hungry." "You have to eat something even if you're not hungry. You’re the only one Caprice has left, you can’t be irresponsible and risk your health.” John objected with a frown. "She still has her Mom." As long as Sherry’s body was not found, there was still a sliver of hope that she was still alive! There was plenty of evidence of her having an iron will for survival. She had survived Shannon’s attempt on her life three years ago. Who was to say that she did not manage to slip away from the burning house just in time? Madam Stockton felt a sharp sting in her nose and nearly teared up. She held herself back and tried to persuade John again. "If she’s still alive, then all the more reason for you to eat! You have to recover your strength to continue searching for her.” John yielded a little. "Leave it there, I'll eat in a bit.” He had no appetite yet. “Alright, I understand.” M

Chapter 1634

The contents of the lunch box produced an aromatic smell that managed to seep out of it while remaining closed. For some reason she could not quite put her finger on it, Sherry could not find the appetite to eat although she would have killed for even a bite of food several days ago. Upon noticing her reluctance, Carl assumed that she was too tired to even open the box. He diligently pried off the lid for her. It was a delicately packed lunch box with a wide assortment of dishes ranging from braised chicken feet, pork belly, chicken wings, and more delicacies. Marbles of fat glistened underneath the light, demanding to be eaten while it was still hot. Sherry glanced at the food with a blank expression and hesitated to make a move. Carl frowned and tried to hide his discontent. “What’s with that look? I waited in line for half an hour to buy this for you. Won’t you have a bite?” Sherry nodded weakly and grunted. Carl remained silent. His expression darkened fo

Chapter 1635

Only the supporting pillars of the structure remained standing. John was worried about Caprice wandering in there. What if one of these columns collapsed just as the child was passing by? He suddenly came to a stop. Caprice was leading him by his hand and stopped as well. She turned back to her father with a confused expression. John spoke softly, “It’s not safe, we can’t get closer, let’s just stand here and watch from a distance.” Caprice was slightly disappointed to hear this, but she was a very well-mannered child and did as she was told. Still, her childlike curiosity had to be sated somehow. She did not want to stay here and watch. She had John take her for a lap around the burned house where they could continue surveying the structure from different angles. She curiously observed the structure as they walked. John was very patient and followed her on the walk. He wondered what spurred the child’s curiosity. The house was rather large, so it took them s

They all turned to John with congratulatory smiles. John smiled faintly, then he carried off Caprice and walked away. His stride was confident and filled with purpose. Caprice gazed at her father, her eyes were filled with question marks. Either way, she was glad to see her father beaming with joy, even though she could not fully understand just what it was that made her father so happy. She was smiling from ear to ear, revealing a row of milky white teeth underneath. John noticed Caprice staring at him and asked, "Caprice, why are you smiling so happily?” Caprice remarked warmly, “I’m smiling because Daddy is happy." John was moved by this. He gently pinched Caprice’s cheeks. “Thank you, honey.” She deserved most of the credit. If it was not for her wanting to explore the house, they would not have stumbled into the underground tunnel. Chances were they would still be stuck and left to wander where Sherry had ended up. The innocent child was a gift from God.

Chapter 1637

Sherry was still inside the hospital, but her condition had improved significantly. She was doing much better compared to when she had just been admitted to the hospital. Her headache was gone and her body had largely made her recovery. She could walk around without any assistance now. The burn on the right arm left behind a large and hideous scar, but she could simply cover it up with a long-sleeved shirt. At the present, she had just finished handling some work for Sager Corporation. She shut off the laptop and leaned against the recliner positioned next to the window. She took some time for herself and enjoyed the gentle sea breeze. Ding! Her phone rang suddenly. Her previous phone was confiscated by John and was never returned to her. This was a new phone she bought after arriving at Coastrock. She changed her number as well and registered a new profile on her social media. She had just wrapped her tasks at work, who could this be? She turned the phone

Chapter 1638

On the other end of the phone, Sherry frowned uneasily as she read the text she had just received from Sylvia. John was looking for her? How did he find out that she survived the fire? The thought unsettled her. She condensed everything that happened to her in Glanchester in recent times, starting from the point where Madam Stockton got into a tragic car accident and was hospitalized for a long time. She told Sylvia everything that happened to her when she was imprisoned by John in his house buried and hidden deep within the forest that was later set on fire. She laid out all her traumatic experiences of how she was starved in the house. She told everything she could. Ding! Sylvia sent a reply immediately after she read Sherry’s long paragraph, “So you’re saying that he was the one who burned the house down? I can’t believe this, he tried to kill you!” Sherry was still unsure at this point and answered, “I think it’s him.” Why would a forest fire start out of nowhe

Chapter 1639

Upon realizing that Sylvia was not paying attention to him, Flint slid next to Isabel and played video games with her. Liam sat nearby them and was immersed in a book. Caprice sat huddled next to him and propped her head next to his shoulder, her eyes were fixated on the book as well even though she did not understand its contents. The children seemed to be having a good, harmonious time. The messages Sherry had just sent Sylvia were still fresh in her mind. She took another deep breath to compose herself again before she approached the tea table. Odell smiled warmly at her. Sylvia sat down next to the empty chair beside him and turned to John. John was staring right at her and smiled warmly as a way of greeting. He complimented her, "Mrs. Carter, we haven’t met in two months but it seems to me that you’re younger than when I last saw you.” Sylvia was not in the mood for this pointless chatter and went straight to the point. “What are you doing here?” John

Chapter 1640

John cast a wary glance at Sylvia upon saying this. Sylvia was seething with rage. John stuttered uncharacteristically for a moment, then continued, “I told my men to bring food to her once every two days. That was, until the forest fire. “One day, I just got home from work when I received a call and was told that my mother’s condition had worsened and that she had to be put on a ventilator. Immediately after that call, my men called me as well and told me that Sherry tried to kill herself by slamming her head against the wall. I knew that she was only doing that to lull me to her but despite that, I went away and had a very heated exchange with her before I left. “After that, I went home again. That was when I was informed that my mother’s condition had not worsened but had instead made a turn for the better. She was awake at last.” Sylvia was astounded to hear this. Odell asked, “What was that about her condition worsening? Did someone give you the wrong information?”
