Chapter 103 Protect Her

"She's not even going to explain. It must mean it's true. It's non-negotiable, then," John snorted arrogantly.

John's secretary walked in unannounced. He took a file out of his bag and handed it to John respectfully.

Adam took a quick glance at the document and asked in surprise, "John, what's this?"

Hearing this, Jeremy's father mysteriously smiled. He raised the document, showed it to Adam and said, "This is the divorce agreement."

Then he threw it to Sherry.

"Well... Is there no room for negotiation?" Adam was desperate to stop John. You could see it radiating from his face.

However, John had already put the agreement on Sherry's bed.

She picked it up and realized it was a divorce agreement.

'That's great! I've spent a lot of time getting the divorce agreement from Jeremy, but could never get him to sign it. Now, his father is pressing the issue so maybe it'll actually be quick this time.'

"Adam, I don't want this either but this has gone on too long. She doesn't need to explain, we can't afford the humiliation. Just let her divorce Jeremy!"

John was so upset with Sherry. He was completely stumped when people asked him about this matter.

Sherry couldn't care though. No matter how hard they pressed, she refused to tell them the truth.

He was about to continue speaking when he noticed that Sherry had already signed the dotted line.

As soon as she saw the words "divorce agreement", she took her pen and signed without hesitation.

Before her father could stop her, she had already written her name on it.

After signing, Sherry felt complete euphoric relief, like her nightmare was over.

Her stepmother and sister smiled at each other almost as if they exchanged thoughts.

"Sherry!" Her father looked at her with disappointment.

The secretary took the agreement and handed it to John. "She has signed it."

"Dad, she signed it. She can't go back!" said Zoe to her father.

Adam trembled with anger. "You're such a disappointment! You're such a loser!"

Her stepmother added, "She has grown up. Even if she isn't what you thought, what can you do about it?"

The thud of heavy footsteps echoed as everyone turned to the door.

The tall figure of Chester appeared at the door, followed by Beisy.

He entered looking a little tired and drained. He had been working hard for the past few days but that couldn't distract him from Sherry. His mind was full of her and he couldn't stop it.

He raced through his piles of work so he could rush to the hospital to see Sherry.

He made a promise to take care of her and he couldn't stand the idea of her being alone, especially when Jeremy could keep bothering her.

However sherry clearly wasn't alone with the large crowd beside her bed.

Chester knew her father and Jeremy's father. They were the business tycoons, especially Jeremy's.

He had been outside for a while so he vaguely heard what was going on. The addition of the cold expressions on everyone's faces was also quite telling.

"Mr. Ou and Mr. Xu," Chester greeted.

They just nodded their heads. They didn't really care for him.

Zoe could tell something was wrong when she saw Chester.

Sherry's father stared at Che

in a sweet voice.

Jeremy gave her a look. He never looked at her in the eye before. But now, he was warning her word by word, "Your sister is not deaf!"

Zoe looked at him in a daze, and couldn't pluck up the courage to say anything to him.

He went to the other three and shouted, "Dad, why are you here?"

His father grunted and said, "If I didn't come, our family would have been humiliated by this woman."

He was deeply annoyed by his father's words so he just ignored the old man.

Then Jeremy and Chester looked at each other but pretended not to take notice.

Jeremy put down the breakfast and glanced at the newspaper on the bed. There was a photo of Sherry and Steve on it. He raised his head and saw the palm print on Sherry's face.

At that moment, his face turned a ghostly white. He gently stroked her face with his hand.

Feeling his approach, Sherry seemed to be hesitant and turned away.

"Who did this?" Jeremy suddenly said in a deep bellow.

Zoe was scared and stood behind her mother as if she was hiding. She dared not talk back like what she had done to Chester.

No one answered. He turned around and with a piercing glare said, "I asked who did this."

Sherry's father felt so humiliated. In front of all these people he was made to answer like a small child, and to a young man no-less. Jeremy's father snorted and said, "Your father-in-law hit her. So what? He taught his daughter a lesson. Are you going to hit him back?"

Jeremy rested his eyes on Sherry's father.

Sherry's father frowned and looked into his eyes. He said, "Jeremy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for what she did to you. She was having an affair with another man. I was so angry that I hit her."

"Of course I won't hit you back, but I warn you that Sherry is my wife. If you hit her, it means that you are hitting me!" he said in a cold voice.

In fact, beating Sherry was more painful than slapping himself.

"Jeremy!" Sherry's father was stunned and was lost for words.

"No one can bully Sherry, and I won't allow any of you to bully or humiliate her ever again!" Jeremy said infuriated, interrupting Sherry's father.
