Chapter 3 Being Questioned

Early in the morning, Sherry called and asked her best friend to send her some clothes.

After she got properly dressed, Sherry went straight home without wasting another moment.

"Sherry, where did you go last night? Why didn't you answer my phone? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I lost my phone by accident. I..."

"Madisyn, Sherry and I went to the club last night to celebrate my birthday. I let her sleep in my room at the club after she had a lot to drink."

Before Sherry could even say anything, Anne cut in and explained.

Both Sherry and her mother, Madisyn Su, turned towards Anne and looked at her with surprise.

"Oh, I see, that was very considerate of you Anne." Madisyn's facial expression softened as she looked at Anne with love now instead of anger.

However, when she looked at Sherry her face contorted in anger again and she said, "Sherry, say thanks to your sister."

Looking at Anne, Sherry didn't understand why her sister had suddenly changed today and defended her, but she still listened to her mom and said, "Thank you, Anna."

It was truly a rare occurrence as Anne smiled back at Sherry and said, "Sherry, I'm giving away some of my old clothes that don't fit me anymore. Come and see if you can find something you like."

"Anna, no..."

"What are you waiting for? Follow your sister."

Before Sherry could refuse, Madisyn pinched her on the arm and nudged her forward.

Sherry clucked her tongue in disapproval and then scuttled up the stairs reluctantly behind Anne.

Sherry became a burden to her mother since she was only six years old. It was the year her father had divorced her mother and she was never the same after her father left them.

After her mother remarried, Sherry was lucky enough that the Xia Family took her in, provided her with a roof over her head and helped her go to college.

Perhaps, that was the reason why her mother was always trying to please Anne, her stepdaughter, while she always gave Sherry the cold shoulder.

"You were supposed to bring condoms to my room last night! What happened? Where were you?"

Anne shut the door as soon as Sherry entered the room. Then, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Sherry angrily.

Now, all Anne had to figure out was whether or not Sherry knew that the man she had slept with last night was Kaiser.

If she didn't, then everything would be easier for Anne.

However, if Sherry knew, then Anne would...

"I..." Sherry lowered her eyes to the ground as she didn't dare to look Anne directly and stammered, "I did buy them, but... I got hit by a car while I was crossing the road... And the next time I remember, I was in the hospital."

"Hit by a car? Really?" Anne squinted her eyes at her suspiciously.

"Yes! Look!" Sherry raised her hand to lift her bangs, revealing the scar on her forehead. "Look at this! I also scraped my knees when I fell to the ground." As she was speaking, she lifted up her trousers.

Anne scratched her head in confusion, wondering, 'Did she get hit by a car after I saw her at the club?'

"Did anything else happen?"

"No." Sherry shook her head firmly.

"Really? " Anne grabbed her by the collar of her sweater and yanked her closer. "So, you weren't with a man last night?"

"No!" Sherry looked at Anne with a startled expression on her face, shaking her head as she said, "Anna, please believe me!"

"Okay, I believe you." Judging by the look on Sherry's face, Anne realized that Sherry really had no idea who she had slept with last night. "But if I find out that you were up to no good on my birthday, you're going to be in a lot of trouble."

Sherry nodded her head repeatedly.

If anyone found out that she had slept with a man out of wedlock, it would tarnish the reputation of the Xia Family and consequently spell disaster for both her and her mother.

"And..."

Anne added, smirking viciously at Sherry.

"What else?" Sherry asked uneasily.

"If you dare tell anyone that I asked you to buy condoms for me, I'll make sure that you and your mother don't get to spend another day in NH City! Do you understand me?"
