Chapter 92
Afterward, the two of them didn’t have much interaction until they pushed the ball into the last hole.
There, Jack and Cathy were already waiting.
“Not bad!” Jack gave them a thumbs–up.
Although lan won, the gap between him and Sherry was not significant.
Cathy discreetly glanced at Sherry and quickly ran to lan’s side, “Look, you’ve sweated so much.“.
She took out a towel to wipe the sweat off lan’s face.
But before she could reach him, Ian took the towel from her and wiped it himself.
“Quick, get some chilled water for our Sherry,” Jack instructed his assistant behind him with a smiling face.
He looked at Sherry with an exceptionally amiable and gentle gaze.
Ian watched this scene, feeling something in his heart.
It seemed that Sherry was quite popular outside.
Previously, it was Thomas and John, and now there was Jack, and all of them showed great enthusiasm toward her.
On the other side, Jack and Sherry walked out together.
It was just a chance encounter, so there was no need for long conversations.
Ian was still dazed when his arm was pulled.
“Ian, I talked to Mr. Anderson for a long time just now. He’s actually not as difficult to get along with as I imagined. Quite amiable,” Cathy’s beautiful face showed a hint of excitement. “I also told him about your performance in recent years and your plans. He seems interested.”
Although she didn’t say it out loud, it was as if her face had the words ‘praise me‘ written on it.
“Thank you,” Ian said.
He wasn’t good at complimenting others.
After speaking, he strode away.
On the other side, Jack and Sherry walked side by side.
Sherry drank the chilled water with small sips.
Although she was wearing a sun hat, she still felt hot. The sun was quite strong today.
Her fair face was dotted with glistening sweat beads, and even her eyelashes were moist.
“Is it him?” Jack suddenly spoke, asking out of the blue.
Sherry turned to look at him, slightly furrowing her brows.
“He is the man you used to like but later broke up with, right?” Jack further explained.
Sherry’s puzzled and curious gaze turned into surprise, “How did you know?”
She couldn’t help but think back carefully but couldn’t figure out where she had exposed her secret.
Jack didn’t explain, With his vast experience in reading people and having suffered from love, there was nothing he couldn’t see through.
Sherry also immediately understood and lowered her head, nodding, “Yes.”

“Since you’ve broken up, why do you still want to help him?” Jack stopped in front of the car, looking at her with a deep gaze,
Sherry pursed her lips and smiled, “Actually, it’s not about helping him. It’s just that I owe someone a big favor, and coincidentally, he has a close relationship with that person.”
Jack nodded and didn’t say anything more..
He lowered his head and got into the car, while Sherry stood outside, bidding him farewell.
As Jack’s car left, another car came over.
Robert and William got out of the car.
As soon as Robert saw Sherry, he seemed to have seen a pile of excrement, showing extreme disgust from his face to his heart.
He swayed over and didn’t forget to cover his nose with his hand. “What’s going on? Does your golf course receive all kinds of bottom–tier people?”
This remark was directed at the staff welcoming them, but it was aimed at Sherry.
The staff felt awkward and didn’t dare to refute, just smiling apologetically.
Sherry, on the other hand, pretended not to hear him, acting as if she didn’t see him at all and didn’t even spare him a glance.
“Robert, if you don’t know how to talk, then shut up. No one will think you’re mute.“–
“What’s the matter? Feeling hurt by my words? Does it hurt to think about marrying her back?” Robert was used to being domineering and had little manners outside. He said whatever he wanted to say.
William glared at him and couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to him. He walked straight to Sherry’s side, “Miss Stewart, didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“Is that strange?” Robert interjected with an irritating tone, looking down on others. “Wherever Ian goes, she follows. Either she’s trying to cause trouble for Cathy and Ian, or she’s trying to break them up.”
Sherry didn’t want to deal with this crazy dog, but seeing him constantly biting at her, she didn’t want to endure it anymore. She couldn’t help but look at him, her lips curling into a smile, “If Ian and Cathy are here, and you’re here too, it seems like you also want to cause trouble for them, or perhaps, you want to break them up?”
“You…” Robert’s face was full of anger, and the veins on his forehead twisted.
Sherry wasn’t scared by his appearance at all. Her gaze remained calm and composed, her lips curved into a half–smile.
The more she looked at him, the more uneasy Robert felt.
He felt as if she could see through his inner turmoil!
“What nonsense! I’m not like you!” He suddenly exploded with rage, shouting, “Stop using your dark thoughts to speculate about me, it’s disgusting!”
Seeing Robert acting like a monkey, trying to cover his inner turmoil with anger, Sherry suddenly felt that he was pitiful.
He clearly liked Cathy but pretended to be upright and honest.
She lifted her eyes and saw Ian and Cathy walking side by side.
Not wanting to have any contact with the two of them, Sherry ignored Robert and walked to the other side.
Her car was parked elsewhere, and the caddy was coming to fetch it in a few minutes.
If she had known that she would encounter people she didn’t want to see here, she would have preferred to walk over and get her car.
Now, she just wanted to keep her distance from them as much as possible.
“Robert, Mr Ripley.” Cathy seemed particularly excited, her voice clear like a nightingale. “Do you know who we met? It’s Mr. Anderson.”
She ran a few steps towards them, unable to hide her excitement, “Mr. Anderson is quite polite, not as difficult to get along with as others say. I explained your plans and the pros and cons of cooperation to him in detail, and he seems interested.”

“Cathy, you’re amazing!” Robert was Cathy’s diehard fan and praised her immediately upon hearing her words.
Robert’s flattery made Cathy even happier. “In my opinion, Mr. Anderson’s unwillingness to cooperate with Celesterrian businessmen is not set in stone. He just needs someone to convince him.”
Cathy always kept her goddess persona in mind, and when she said these things, she tried to suppress her excitement, speaking with a completely
rational tone.
William listened to her twisted reasoning without saying a word, just sneering coldly from his nose.
He didn’t want to bother with Cathy and walked towards Sherry again, “Where are you going? Need a ride?”
“No, thank you,” Sherry replied politely to William.
They had only come with one car, and she really didn’t want to have anything to do with Cathy and Robert.
Ian had been standing at a distance, seemingly detached from the crowd.
Only when William came to Sherry did he raise his head.
His gaze locked onto the two of them.
His brows furrowed.
When William said he wasn’t worthy of Sherry earlier, he took it as a joke.
But now, William seemed particularly close to Sherry.
Cathy, who was constantly paying attention to Ian, felt a slight tremor in her heart when she saw his gaze fixed on the two of them.
Her fingers had already pinched under her sleeve.
What was wrong with Ian? Why was he paying more and more attention to Sherry?
After Cathy returned, she became extremely sensitive to these things.
Moreover, there were so many people here, and Ian’s gaze was fixed on Sherry. Where could she put her face?
No, she had to find a way to redirect Ian’s attention back to her.
It could only be focused on her!
Cathy was contemplating when William’s phone rang.
“Mr. Anderson,” William whispered and picked up the call.
Upon hearing the words “Mr. Anderson,” everyone held their breath.
William’s phone call lasted only about ten seconds. When he finished, his expression had already changed. “Mr. Anderson said he’s willing to cooperate with us.”
“Oh my goodness, that’s great!” Cathy was the first to jump up, clapping her hands. She felt like it was divine intervention.
With excitement on her face and a gleam in her eyes, Cathy ran back to Ian, “Ian, I told you! Mr. Anderson is interested now. I convinced him!”
“Cathy, you’re amazing!” Robert’s voice immediately followed, and he gave Cathy a thumbs–up.
He looked at Ian with hidden meaning, “Cathy is the hero of this project now. Ian, you better cherish her, so no one else snatches her away because she’s too outstanding.”
Cathy blushed at Robert’s words, looking coy, “You’re flattering me. I just casually helped out a bit. I’m not that great.”
She was modest in her words, but her eyes revealed her true feelings. She saw herself as a hero.
Cathy deliberately flicked her hair and glanced at Sherry.

Robert also noticed Sherry again and sneered, “Some people put so much effort into using some dubious connections to cause trouble for our project and show off their abilities, but they were defeated by our Cathy.”
“Things that can’t make it to the mainstream will never make it to the mainstream. A monkey wearing dragon robes is still a monkey, and he can never be the prince.”
His words were sharp, reaching the point of being unbearable.
Though he didn’t name anyone, it was obvious he was talking about Sherry.
Cathy needed someone like him a spokesperson.
He said all the things she wanted to say to Sherry!
It was so satisfying!
Cathy had been feeling suffocated by Sherry’s outstanding performance, and now she was feeling extremely relieved, her smile shining brightly.
However, she still admonished Robert, “Robert, no more reckless talk.”
“Did I say anything wrong? Can you all honestly say she didn’t come all the way from Celesterra just to cause trouble for us?”
This time, it was clear that Robert targeted Sherry.
Sherry smiled and remained silent, just as the car arrived.
William looked at Robert like he was looking at a fool and spoke before Sherry got into the car, “Mr. Anderson said the reason he decided to invest in our project is because he trusted Miss Stewart’s judgment.”
Ding!
His voice wasn’t loud, but it seemed like a time stopper. Everyone, except Sherry, was locked in place!
Robert’s mouth was wide open, unable to believe it, and Cathy, unable to maintain her composure, blurted out, “How is that possible?”
“Yes, how is that possible!” Robert immediately joined in, “William, are you so biased towards Sherry that you’re making up such lies? Whose side are you on?”
William didn’t want to waste time with him and pressed a button.
Immediately, they heard Jack’s unique, steady, and deep voice on the other end, “Mr. Ripley, I’m willing to give Celesterra businessmen a chance. You should thank Miss Stewart. It was because of her that I saw the good side of Celesterra businessmen, and because of her qualities, I believe the Celesterra businessmen she recommended are reliable.”
“Also, remind your business partner to choose their women wisely.”
These were the words he had just recorded on a whim.
He had developed the habit over the years, and he didn’t expect it to come in handy eventually.
Sherry wasn’t surprised by Jack’s words. She had already guessed the outcome.
She lowered her head and got into the car.
The car left.
Ian’s gaze slowly fell on Sherry’s departing car, his eyes deep and his lips pressed tightly.
This outcome was completely unexpected for him.
Although Ian didn’t have as many suspicions as Cathy and Robert, he never imagined that one day, at a crucial moment in his life, his ex–wife, whom he had never looked at directly, would step in so prominently.
She… was helping him.
And she helped him successfully!

Chapter 92
At this moment, Cathy couldn’t say a word and felt like she had turned mute. What had she just done?
She arrogantly claimed the credit for persuading Mr. Anderson to cooperate and allowed Robert to belittle Sherry. Looking back now, she felt like a clown, putting on a terrible performance without even realizing it! She even thought she had performed excellently!
The worst part was that this clownish image was fully displayed in front of fan!
It was too embarrassing, too awkward!
She wanted to find a hole to hide in!
Cathy couldn’t bear to stay any longer, so she covered her face and ran away.
Seeing her run off, Robert became anxious and shouted at William, “What’s the meaning of this? Why didn’t you speak up earlier? Are you on her
side?”
After yelling, he chased after Cathy.
William shrugged helplessly.
He wanted to say that they were just arguing back and forth like a comedy duo, and he had no chance to speak up. Moreover, he didn’t want to say it in front of Sherry. He wanted to leave them with some dignity.
But their words were too hurtful.
Was Sherry supposed to be mocked like this?
In the end, he revealed the truth in front of Sherry, just to remind those two.
However, they insisted on accusing him of making up lies.
So, he had to play the recording to remove their last shred of dignity.
After returning to the hotel, Sherry took a refreshing shower.
The mission was completed, and she could finally go back.
Although Jack didn’t specially invite her for a meal, he sent a large number of local specialties.
All of them were the most authentic products selected from the best places.
Finding the most genuine products was much more troublesome than simply buying them from a store.
But Jack personally went to pick and choose these items.
He was not one to show emotions openly, but through this gesture, it was evident how much he cared about Sherry.
Sherry looked at the pile of local specialties, feeling moved and helpless. It reminded her of the last sentence he said in the recording to William.
Although he didn’t interfere much in her personal life on the surface, deep down, he still cared for her.
Her heart warmed.
Feeling the warmth, Sherry decided to bring some gifts back for Iris, her father, and Fredrica.
With that in mind, she walked out of the room.
As soon as Sherry opened the door, she saw a figure standing at the entrance.
The figure was tall, straight, and exuded an air of grace and confidence. His face was handsome like a painting, as if carved by the gods.
