Chapter 93
To see someone as handsome as lan standing at her door was quite surprising for Sherry.
She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and ask, “Why did President Komnis come? Is there something you need?”
lan furrowed his brows slightly and replied, “I came to thank you.”
He took out a document and continued, “You helped Genesis Group secure the cooperation with Mr. Anderson. Genesis Group will give you 20% of the profits from this collaboration. This is the contract, and it will take effect after you sign it.”
Sherry looked down at the contract, barely showing any change in her expression. Ian’s way of doing things was always the same he liked to use money to solve problems.
She gently pushed the contract back. “President Kemnis, there’s no need for that. I approached Mr. Anderson on behalf of Genesis Group, neither for you nor for Genesis Group. It was solely for Young Master Ripley. I don’t want any of these rewards.”
After speaking, she walked past Ian with light steps and left.
Behind her, Ian’s eyes became solemn as he watched her figure recede. The paper in his hand crumpled a little as he clenched it.
In the past, when she showed deep affection towards him, he found it hard to get used to.
But now, when she treated him coldly and distantly, he couldn’t get used to it either.
“Why would Ian be standing at Sherry’s door? What does he mean?” Cathy was helped back by Robert from a distance.
Robert’s tender gaze fell on her, but she was focused on Ian.
His eyes trembled slightly.
“This Sherry is so cunning!” Robert complained, full of disgust towards Sherry. “She did so much just to attract Ian’s attention! And Ian actually fell for
it!”
“Can you stop making baseless assumptions?” William followed behind them and felt annoyed by Robert’s unfounded guesses.
“Miss Stewart helped us out of good intentions, and Ian went to find her just to express gratitude, nothing more.”
“Good intentions my foot!” Robert refused to believe it. “I think she still has feelings for Ian. She’s just playing hard to get!”
“This woman is really crafty and manipulative! Ian, if you keep going like this, you’ll eventually fall into her trap! You’ll regret it for a lifetime!”
“Stop looking down on Sherry. She’s not someone we ordinary people can climb up to.” Williant stopped the discussion, not wanting to stay with the two any longer, and entered his room.
Robert didn’t like hearing William defend Sherry and started growling, “What’s he trying to say? Who can’t climb up to Sherry? Does he even have a
brain?”
“Sherry is impressive, okay? She’s the famous racer ‘Thunder Strike“!” Cathy said with an annoyed tone.
“Drift King? That Drift King?” Robert was taken aback by Cathy’s words.
He also enjoyed racing, mainly because Cathy liked it. In his heart, Cathy was the supreme goddess, and he wanted to share common interests with
her.
He was skilled in racing and naturally knew about Thunder Strike’s existence. But she rarely showed up, and he didn’t go last time, so he didn’t k about Sherry’s remarkable identity.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Do you think I’m that bored?” Cathy had little patience when talking to Robert alone and was feeling quite annoyed. She furrowed her brows, showing her annoyance.
Robert’s mouth gaped open. “This is unbelievable.”

He looked like he was greatly impressed by Sherry, which only irritated Cathy more.
She told him about the incident at the racing competition.
“What? Sherry actually concealed her identity and humiliated you? This Sherry thinks she’s impressive just because she’s Thunder Strike? She’s shameless!” Robert became furious again.
How could his goddess tolerate being humiliated like this?
“Don’t worry, Cathy. I’ll talk to the racing association and expose this matter. I’ll make sure she’s banned from racing forever!”
“Don’t do this. It’s not worth it for such a trivial matter.” Cathy appeared unconcerned. “Actually, what I’m most curious about now is her relationship with the boss of Starlight Media.”
“Although it was infuriating how she ruined my relationship with Ian back then, I don’t want to dwell on those things anymore. If she can really get along well with the boss of Starlight Media, then everyone will be happy,” Cathy said.
“But what if she has no connection with the boss of Starlight Media, and all her previous actions were just to deceive everyone? In that case… Roberts tone turned doubtful.
“This Sherry is so cunning. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do,” Robert continued to badmouth her. “But seriously, with her behavior, could she even catch the eye of the boss of Starlight Media? I bet she orchestrated this whole act herself!”
“It’s hard to say.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this matter and investigate. I want to see if this boss of Starlight Media has any relationship with her!” Robert said confidently, patting his chest.
Cathy was satisfied with Robert’s determination. She had accumulated a lot of resentment towards Sherry for a long time. However, she had never done anything too extreme because she was worried about the attitude of the boss of Starlight Media.
If the truth were confirmed and all those so–called connections were fabricated by Sherry, Robert would take care of her without her having to say a word!
“You go and investigate first,” Cathy urged him, sounding a bit impatient.
Robert was concerned about her, “What about you?”
“I still have Ian, don’t I?” Cathy replied as she elegantly walked towards lan
Emotions flickered in Robert’s eyes, but in the end, he gave in and left.
“Ian,” Cathy approached Ian, her voice gentle.
Ian looked up with a faint gaze.
Seeing him like this, Cathy felt a little aggrieved, but she didn’t show too much of it. She said, “I’m sorry. I thought I had convinced Mr. Anderson, but I didn’t expect… I’m really sorry.”
“You didn’t let me down, but you should apologize to Sherry,” Ian said.
Cathy’s eyes tightened suddenly, and she became more aggrieved. “What do you mean, Ian? From the beginning to the end, it wasn’t me who said bad things about Sherry. Why should I apologize to her?
“Just because she helped you secure this project? fan, how could you treat me like this?” Her eyes became teary, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ian looked at the pitiful Cathy but couldn’t summon any feelings of compassion.
“Some things you don’t say doesn’t mean I don’t know. Think about what you said to Jack,” he said.
“I… What can I say?” Cathy stammered. Her face turned pale, and her body couldn’t stop trembling. “Did Sherry complain to you? Her words can’t be trusted,” Cathy continued.
She pondered for a moment. A person like Jack would never gossip. It must be Sherry causing trouble.
Chapter 93
But before she could say anything. Jan raised his hand, revealing what was in his palm
“My earring?” Cathy reached to touch her ear, and indeed, one of her earrings was missing.
“Your earring fell at the teahouse on the golf course. The manager called me to pick it up, and at that moment, I overheard people talking about you and the derogatory things you said about Sherry to Jack,” Ian explained slowly.
He unraveled the truth, piece by piece, exposing the dirty thoughts buried deep within Cathy’s heart!
Cathy tightly clenched the earring, and the blood drained from her face rapidly. She looked pale and was biting her lips, trying to contain her embarrassment.
At the time when she was talking to Jack, she didn’t purposely avoid others because she was confident that the staff wouldn’t gossip about her and Ian. However, she forgot that coincidences could happen in this world.
Her earring just happened to fall, and Ian happened to be there, and those people happened to talk about her…
How could it be like this?
She didn’t find it difficult to approach Jack as she had imagined. After talking about the collaboration, she casually mentioned Sherry. Her words were subtle but filled with deep implications.
Cathy had always portrayed herself as the perfect goddess, but because of this small mistake, she ruined everything!
“I only said that because I felt… Sherry didn’t want you to succeed and thought she was here to sabotage our project. I was afraid that Mr. Anderson would believe her, so I reminded him. I… I did it all for you and the company,” Cathy quickly explained. She looked at Ian with teary eyes, pleading, “You have to believe me.”
Ian didn’t say anything, but his expression was cold and distant.
Some things didn’t need to be said out loud.
However, a person with integrity would never badmouth someone in front of others, especially someone as influential as Jack.
Ian couldn’t understand what Jack meant by “choose your woman wisely” until he heard those discussions.
His silence was like a heavy weight pressed against Cathy’s chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Frustrated, she pulled at her hair. What had happened to her? She lost her composure in front of Sherry. Although she knew the dangers of badmouthing others in public, she couldn’t control herself.
“Go rest first. I have something to take care of!” Ian said coldly, walking towards the door.
Cathy’s heart was filled with unease, and she couldn’t let him leave. She held onto his arm and said, “Ian, believe me, I was really just thinking about you and the project. I was just too eager to help you, so I acted without thinking.”
“But Sherry is also at fault. She appeared here so coincidentally, and she has always targeted both of us. Naturally, I thought she was trying to sabotage us.”
“I reminded Mr. Anderson to pay attention to her because it’s only human nature.”
“Besides, even if Sherry helped us, she must have had her reasons. I believe she wants to break us apart!”
At this point, she continued to defend herself while disparaging Sherry.
“Cathy!” Ian’s emotions had been relatively calm all along, even though he was extremely disappointed. However, he couldn’t tolerate her lack of
self–awareness and continuous belittlement of others.
“Before you start suspecting others, you should reflect on yourself first!” His tone was unusually stern. Even when she cheated on him and lose his reputation, it had never been this severe.
Cathy was frightened and trembled uncontrollably, unable to say anything.
She carefully observed lan’s expression, absorbing the disappointment he showed. Panic overwhelmed her because it seemed like he had seen through her, and he was beginning to dislike her!

Where was he in such a hurry to go? Was he going to see Sherry? Sherry was performing so excellently now. If he fell for her
An unprecedented sense of insecurity surged within Cathy, making her reluctant to let him leave. However, if she insisted, it would only make fart
dislike her even more….
In her panic, Cathy suddenly had an idea. She immediately covered her eyes with her hands, showing a painful expression, “tan, my eyes feet uncomfortable, and I’m experiencing blackouts. It’s so distressing.”
Ian had already started to walk away, but upon hearing her complaint about her eyes, he quickly turned back and supported her.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. Let me take you back to your room first.” His voice became tense, and he stooped down to carry her, striding towards the room.
Cathy hugged his waist, burying her face in his chest. Fortunately, she was quick witted. Her eyes would become the ultimate weapon for her whole life. No matter what mistake she made in the future, she could use this incident to make him surrender.
Sherry returned to Celesterra the next morning. As soon as she got off the plane, she spotted Fredrica’s fiery figure waiting for her. Fredrica didn’t care about other people and directly gave her a French–style hug, calling out, “Darling, I missed you so much.”
“Don’t be so cheesy.” Sherry quickly dodged her embrace and glanced around. She couldn’t let anyone capture such an image; otherwise, others might think she and Fredrica had some secretive relationship.
Well, others weren’t important.
Lucas was terrifying.
The special products sent by Jack were sent through checked baggage and wouldn’t arrive so quickly, so Sherry only had a small suitcase with her. She walked side by side with Fredrica.
Fredrica had a hot figure and bold dressing style, while Sherry was slender with an elegant fashion sense. Both their movements and poise were captivating, attracting the attention of many people.
They were used to this and continued chatting as they walked.
In the middle of their conversation, Fredrica suddenly snapped her fingers and said, “Sherry, do you know what a significant secret I discovered
recently?”
She deliberately kept her words vague, trying to pique Sherry’s interest.
Sherry cooperated and looked over, saying, “Tell me.”
Fredrica leaned closer, lowering her voice, “Remember the day I took you to the eye clinic? I saw Kemnis Scum and Cathy.”
“I remember,” Sherry replied nonchalantly. Recently, she had seen those two quite a few times and felt nauseous about it.
Fredrica looked even more mysterious. “Would you believe it? Cathy is blind in one eye!”
“Blind in one eye?” Fredrica’s words did surprise Sherry. She hadn’t heard about this.
“Cathy appears on TV every day. Do you believe she’s blind in one eye? I don’t believe it!” Fredrica pointed at her own sharp eyes, saying, “Even without a medical examination, with just my eyes, I can tell she’s not blind! It’s impossible!”
“What? Are you going to report her? But she never mentioned any problem with her eyes in public,” Sherry responded with little interest.
“That’s the problem!” Fredrica clapped her hands and continued, “Think about it. Cathy always portrays herself as a perfect goddess, sometimes even showing some minor injuries to gain fans‘ sympathy. She often fabricates fake inspirational stories to move her fans to tears.”
“Now, one of her eyes is supposedly blind, and she’s not talking about it at all. Do you think that’s normal?”
Sherry had never been interested in discussing Cathy. Naturally, she wouldn’t delve into it further. But she knew Fredrica wasn’t one to speculations. So, she looked at her and asked, “So….?”
baseless
“So, I have a bold guess. Cathy’s eye is probably not blind at all. When she went to the eye clinic, she said she was blind to lan alone! I can guarantee that no one else knows about this except Ian!”
“And what does that mean?”
Chapter 93
“This is a big problem!” Fredrica’s expression turned serious, and she abruptly hold Sherry’s hand….
