Deadly Doting Marriage - Chapter 12

Chapter 12

She had not intended to interrupt John and Sherri, but she had been waiting downstairs for a long time and had not seen them coming down. She was worried that she would be late, so she decided to knock on the door.

John said indifferently, “Come in!”

Kathleen opened the door, walked inside and saw Sherri standing beside John.

Both of them were very good-looking. John was handsome and Sherri was beautiful. Standing side by side, they looked great together.

Kathleen lowered her head and looked at the ground as she stood there waiting for John to give her the money.

John pointed at that drawer of the bedside table and said coldly, “The money’s in there! Get it yourself!”

Kathleen walked over swiftly, opened the drawer and took out five red banknotes.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw some green packets lying beside the money. She did not know what they were. She quickly turned her gaze away and said, “Thank you, Young Master! I’ll be on my way!”

She then trotted downstairs and silently waited for John and Sherri in the living room.

At the same time, she typed a few English words into her phone, and the name of the thing that she just saw came up on the phone screen.

Kathleen instantly deleted the content and continued sitting there waiting for them as if nothing happened.

However, after waiting for some time, they still had not come downstairs. She had no idea what was keeping them long.

Kathleen checked the time and said to the driver, “I’ll go to the university by myself today. You don’t have to send me.”

The driver nodded his head in reply and saw Kathleen off.

Meanwhile, John watched Kathleen leave from the upstairs window.

He stared coldly at Sherri and said, “Take away your things!”

Sherri shook his arm and answered coquettishly, “John, I don’t want to…”

“Take them away! Don’t exert a bad influence over my kid!”

Sherri wore a slight frown as she replied, “She’s not a kid anymore. I bet she knows everything. John, she’s already 18 years old, it’s time to let her go!”

John’s expression darkened abruptly. He looked down at Sherri and said slowly, word by word, “Even if I wanted to keep her under my roof until she’s 100 years old, it’s my business!”

“Take your things and leave my house, or tell your father that the agreement has been called off!”

His words were extremely harsh, so much so that Sherri was stunned into silence.

She bit her lips and took out the small packets from the drawer, her heart boiling over with jealousy.

John paid no heed to her as he grabbed the suitcase from the table and went downstairs.

As soon as the driver caught sight of him, he said respectfully, “Mr. Lambert, Ms. Yates couldn’t wait any longer, so she left by herself!”

John said nothing as he opened the door and got into the car.

Upon seeing that, Sherri just hurried into the car. She dared not show any dissatisfaction on her face.

They soon arrived at the Lambert Group.

When the luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the company’s entrance, the guard opened the door for John and Sherri to get out of the car.

As they walked into the lobby, they were greeted by two rows of employees who bowed at them and said in unison, “Good morning, Mr. Lambert! Good morning, Ms. Millan!”

John nodded his head in reply and walked to the CEO’s private elevator with Sherri.

Many of the surrounding employees could not help whispering to each other upon seeing that.

“Look! Mr. Lambert came together with his fiancée!”

“They are both good-looking! They look great together!”

“Totally! He’s the CEO of the Lambert Group, while she’s the heiress of the Millan Group. They are perfect for each other, be it their appearance or family background!”

A gloating expression crossed Sherri’s face upon hearing the compliments. She watched as the elevator doors slid open and walked into the CEO’s private elevator with John.

The elevator soon stopped on the 26th floor. After the doors slid open, they walked out of it together.

Several secretaries who were at the entrance hurriedly got up and greeted them when they showed up.

John ignored everyone and headed straight to the CEO’s office.

Meanwhile, Sherri haughtily lifted her head and greeted everyone with a smile.

“Hello, Ms. Millan. Would you like some coffee? I’ll go make a cup of coffee for you!”

“Wow, your purse is so pretty! You look really good and elegant in this limited-edition Hermes purse!”

“Ms. Millan, you’re so pretty! You have a fair complexion and a nice body! You’re the perfect woman for Mr. Lambert!”

The news of the union between the Lambert Group and the Millan Group had spread across Hillford.

Everyone in the room knew that Sherri was John’s fiancée. That was why they were so attentive to her.

Sherri was well aware of that as well. She found herself content to bask in the adulation of the employees, her face wearing a triumphant look.

Shortly afterward, Karl received an internal phone call. He knocked on the door of the CEO’s office.

“Come in!” John’s cold voice came through the door.

Karl pushed open the door and said mildly, “Mr. Lambert, the general manager of the Millan Group, Mr. Millan, is here.”

Sherri stood up, and a grin crept on her face. “My dad is here! Hurry up and bring him in!”

Karl turned to look at John. After the latter nodded his approval, Karl personally went downstairs and took George into the office.

“Dad, you’re here!” Sherri greeted him happily when she saw George entering the room.

George smiled at her and patted her shoulder before turning his gaze to John.

John shot a look at Karl and ordered, “Go and get the agreement!”

Karl nodded his head and hurriedly brought the agreement to them.

The terms and details of the agreement had been agreed upon and checked by the legal department. Thus, there should be no problem with the agreement.

Both John and George signed the contract without any hesitation.

Looking at the signed agreement, George raised his head to give John a great big smile and said, “Mr. Lambert, Sherri will be working with you on this project after this. We’re a family. Don’t hesitate to ask for anything…”
