Chapter 87

Mr. Sniper always wore a mask during the day and sat in the private room for
peace and privacy. If he went out to the lobby, where many people could see
him wearing a mask, they would definitely gossip about him.
Sherry spoke politely: “I’m sorry, but it’s inconvenient for us. Can you go and
ask the guests in other private rooms?”
The waitress also looked worried. “I’ve already asked, and there are at least
five or six people in the other private rooms. The largest table in the lobby is only for four people, so it’s impossible to accommodate everyone. Only your table has two people… Miss, could you please help us? We’re having a hard
time as well.”
Sherry was not the type of person who was difficult to talk to. On the contrary,
she was considerate of the waitress‘ situation.
So she said, “Then, Mr. Sniper, shall we take the food back to our hotel room
and eat?”

The waitress‘ face lit up when she heard this: “Thank you so much.”

“No, we’re not leaving.” Mr. Sniper, however, changed his usual attitude and
spoke coldly, “We’ll eat here.”
Sherry nudged him, “Why? The waitress is also having a hard time. Whether
we eat here or go back to our room, it’s the same.”
“Sherry, this is the second thing I want to teach you. Never let yourself be
taken advantage of. As long as others think you’re soft, they will continue to
take advantage of you. If we give up the private room today, then in the
future, if we encounter the same situation, will we still have to give up? We paid for our meal here, and the food here is three or four times more
expensive than the market price. What I’m buying are the service and
quality.”
Mr. Sniper sat upright, speaking with a deep and calm tone. “Miss, I’m not
intentionally making things difficult for you, and I do understand that your job
I
is not easy. However, I’m sorry to say that the damage to the private room is

the hotel’s problem. Please find someone to fix it quickly. The guests next door
arrived later, and everything should be done in order. Even if I’m the only one
here today, I was the first to pay for this private room, and no one has the
right to make me give it up. Do you understand?”
The waitress smiled awkwardly and said, “I understand. I’m sorry for the
disturbance.”
The waitress left, and the door to the private room was closed.
Sherry lost her appetite a bit. “Actually, it’s not a big deal this time. The guests
next door must be very difficult to deal with; otherwise, the waitress wouldn’t
have come to us for help.
“So, people who are not difficult are at a disadvantage?” Mr. Sniper
half–jokingly said, “Sherry, let me give you an example. When you were in the
Ford family, you did all the household chores and had to be nitpicked by
Violet. But now, Sophia is bossing around, even ordering takeout for meals.
Will Violet dare to kick her out of the house too?”

This remark was a bit harsh. But Sherry understood that Mr. Sniper was
looking out for her.

In the past, she had been too accommodating. Regardless of whether it was
her fault or not, as long as Violet got angry, she would always be the first to
back down, and Violet would become more and more unreasonable. In her
opinion, she was trying to reduce disagreements and arguments in the
family, but in Violet’s eyes, she was probably an easy target.
Sherry forced a smile. “You’re right, but there’s one more thing. Sophia has her
mother and a powerful stepfather, and she’s also carrying the only grandson
of the Ford family. She can easily resist Violet. She’s much stronger than me.
Who could I rely on back then?”
“But did your repeated tolerance bring understanding or compassion?” Mr.
Sniper held her hand and said, “The weak will always be weak, and the strong
will always be strong. Never expect others to pity you; it’s the most useless
approach.”
Sherry nodded. “I understand what you mean. You want me to learn to be
strong on my own.”
“Be confident and strong; you are the most wonderful girl in my heart, not
less than anyone else.”
Sherry’s heart warmed, and she nodded.
She quickly finished her food and then reached out to hold his hand. “I’m
done eating; can we go back to the room now? This private room can be
vacated.”
Mr. Sniper sighed, feeling helpless. His girl always tried her best to be kind, but
sooner or later, she would have to realize that kindness didn’t always lead to
good outcomes.
Suddenly, the door of the private room was forcefully pushed open with a
-loud bang.
The wooden door slammed hard against the wall behind it, causing the
decorative paintings hanging on the wall to shake.
“Wow, why is it you again, you ugly freak?” Joseph walked in, holding a
basketball and humming a tune. He looked around, and his eyes lit up,
quickly shouting outside the door, “Mom! Come and see! This private room is
bigger and more beautiful than ours! Let’s eat here!”
Sherry also recognized this little boy, who had caused a scene in the
backstage dressing room of a car exhibition. Her expression didn’t look too
good.
Mr. Sniper protected Sherry, standing in front of her, and asked, “Do you know
him?”
“I met him backstage at the car exhibition yesterday. He caused a
commotion in the dressing room, breaking a lot of things.” She took a deep
breath and added, “He is my aunt’s son, the half–brother of Sophia.”
Mr. Sniper understood, and he got serious.
While they were talking, Nora and David arrived. Violet came next, and
surprisingly, Malcolm and Sophia were also there. It was a coincidence that
they happened to meet here.
Sherry noticed a middle–aged man standing next to Nora.
He was dressed in a formal suit and polished shoes, with meticulously styled
hair. He looked dominant, making it clear that he was not easily
approachable.
“Since Joseph likes it, let’s eat here.” David spoke and then turned to ask Nora,
“Nora, what do you think of this place?”
Nora naturally replied gently, “As long as you both like it, I’m fine with it.”
David smiled contentedly, saying, “Then let’s stay here. Where are the
waiters? Please bring some chairs and serve the food quickly. We are all hungry.
Just as he said that, the waiter hurriedly arrived and said, “Oh, sir, why did you
come by yourselves? I was just about to tell you that I arranged the adjacent
private room for you.”
“I don’t want to go! I want to stay here!” Joseph pouted, holding David’s hand
and acting spoiled. “Dad, I don’t care; I want to eat here. Make that
unpleasant person go away!”
David frowned, asking, “Which unpleasant person?”
Joseph pointed her finger and said, “It’s her! She threw away my basketball at
the ear exhibition last time. Dad, make her compensate!”
David looked at Sherry’s plain little face. He was completely stunned. “Alice?”
