Chapter 73
“Sherry?”
Linda was briefly stunned, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
She had never seen Sherry looking so beautiful.
The present Sherry not only changed her appearance but also her temperament.
She used to have a timid demeanor, but now her eyes sparkled with confidence and determination. The contrast. between her family’s wealth and her lack of vitality made her seem like a ghost haunting their luxurious home. The radiance of her beauty was only matched by her natural charm, which shone through with every expression.
Her face was like a smooth, white canvas, with a tenderness that belled her years. A radiant glow seemed to emanate from her. Her beauty was so captivating that even among a group of stunning individuals, she would still catch your eye.
While Linda was observing Sherry, both Sherry and Fredrica noticed her. Fredrica knew she was Ian’s capable assistant and also a close friend of Cathy, so she didn’t have a good impression of her. Although she didn’t speak, her cold expression was obvious when she glanced at Linda. Inside and out, she clearly showed her disdain.
Linda didn’t care about Fredrica’s expression and focused on Sherry, speaking with arrogance and questioning. “What are you doing here?”
“Who are you? Why should we report to you?” Fredrica retorted with a lack of patience. She was currently upset with Ian and had no intention of being polite to anyone related to him.
Linda had been with lan for a long time, and her ego had grown accustomed to being stroked by others, which made her naturally arrogant. Her expression flickered momentarily upon hearing Fredrica’s retort, but she quickly regained her composure.
Instead, she raised her lips with a mocking smile, “Sherry, you and President Kemnis are already divorced. Could you put an end to your revolting behavior? He never gave you a second look in the four years at the Kemnis family. What result do you expect from following him now?”
“Following him?” Sherry looked at Linda, her lips curling slightly upward, repeating her words. Her meaning was, has lan also come?.
Linda never had a good impression of Sherry, and now she no longer had any reservations. “If I were you, after a divorce, I would find a good school to improve my temperament and skills. External appearance is just the key to attract men; the charm that keeps a man’s heart forever is inner charisma. No matter how much you imitate, if you don’t improve your inner qualities, you’ll always be a wreck!”
As she spoke, she glanced up and down at Sherry’s attire, each word accusing Sherry of vainly trying to win back Ian with her beauty, even imitating Cathy.
Sherry heard these words, but she didn’t feel angry, just amused. She was a well–known internet celebrity with

millions of fans. In her livestreamus, she not only sang and danced but also taught some dressing skills.
Cathy’s fashion sense and persona have greatly influenced her current dressing style and image. She decided not to point it out, knowing it would be wasted on someone like Linda who was prone to pettiness.
However, Fredrica was different. Sherry could ignore Linda’s provocations because she looked down on her, but she couldn’t let others bully her friends.
Linda was so straightforward and rude in her speech; how could Fredrica let it go? She continued, “Since you are so good with words, why don’t you use this theory to educate yourself? Someone like you, who can’t tell the difference between real gold and fake, needs to study hard. No, studying is useless for you; you need to start from scratch!”
Linda was taken aback. Did Tredrica just humiliate her in front of her best friend? But then, the next words made. her change her expression quickly.
“You!” Linda had been flattered by many people when she went out because of her relationship with Ian, but she had never been insulted like this.
Her face turned purple with anger.
Fredrica’s mouth was venomous and merciless on normal occasions, and now she wasn’t going to give Linda any chances, continuing with her harsh words, “You are just a dog to lan, acting like a king all the time. Do you think others are blind and can’t smell the stench of the dog shit spewing from your filthy mouth?”
“Shut up!” Linda roared in anger, and her lips trembled.
Fredrica was like an opened floodgate and couldn’t be stopped. She continued with even harsher words, “If you want to kiss lan’s ass, it’s your business. Don’t involve Sherry. Someone like you isn’t even worthy of being a shoe for
Sherry!”
“Oh, by the way, never mind whether Sherry knew Jan was here or not. Even if she did, this is a public place. Who said Ian could come here, but we couldn’t? Oh, right, you were trailing behind us all the time just now. It seems like you and Jan were following us, right?”
Linda couldn’t get a word out due to her anger, and her words were incoherent.
Fredrica disdainfully sneered at her. “If Sherry is still with Ian even after divorcing him, then it’s her own business. But what about you, Jan’s little assistant? You think you’re a king and act all high and mighty. Do you think others are blind and can’t smell the stench of the dog shit in your mouth?”
“That’s enough.” Sherry walked over and pulled Fredrica. “A dog biting someone is just a dog’s nature. If a person
bites a dog, it lowers their status
When Sherry intervened to stop Fredrica, Linda initially thought Sherry was afraid of lan and herself and didn’t want trouble. But she never expected that Sherry would also belittle her!
Sherry’s disparaging words were not even half as sharp as Fredrica’s, but to Linda’s ears, they were even more piercing!
You see, apart from that one time Sherry confronted her during the divorce, she had always been submissive.

Every time Linda went to the Keimnis residence, Sherry would meekly shey her commands and accept various criticisms and assignments without daring to argue.
Linda was lan’s assistant and considered herself superior to everyone else, even the Kemnis family members treated her with respect. She already regarded herself as a highly esteemed figure, while in her eyes, Sherry was nothing more than a semi–slave
Now, she who was so high and mighty, was suppressed by someone like a slave? How could this he? It was like a resounding slap on her face, even louder and more painful than Fredrica’s slap.
Sherry, you
“Let’s go.”
Linda had a bunch of harsh words in her mind to scold Sherry, but she couldn’t say any of them before Sherry walked away.
Linda:
She knew she couldn’t retaliate with insults, but the urge was still there, simmering just below the surface. Such behavior didn’t fit her identity.
In the end, she could only clench her fists and endure the turbulence inside her chest, breathing heavily, and her heartbeat irregular. She felt like she was getting a heart attack!
Linda took a deep breath and waited until her mind cleared enough to think. As if struck by lightning, she suddenly remembered something crucial. What was Sherry doing here?”
The hospital was designed entirely for ophthalmology patients, with state–of–the–art equipment for eye examinations. So, Sherry must be here for an eye check–up!
Thinking of this, Linda’s heart pounded rapidly. She didn’t know why, but she felt very uneasy.
Linda hurriedly walked a few steps and approached a nurse. She asked in a low voice, “Excuse me, I just saw Fredrica. Is she here for an eye examination?”
It would be convenient for Fredrica to ask about her since he had a wide network of acquaintances.
“I’m sorry, but patient information cannot be disclosed.” The nurse politely replied. This was the best and most expensive ophthalmology hospital. If they couldn’t even maintain confidentiality, how could they survive?
Unable to get any information from the nurse, Linda could only head downstairs. As she turned a corner, she saw
Ian.
When she saw the person beside lan, she gasped in shock. Her face turned pale!
