Chapter 88
Nora quickly stepped forward and pulled David, saying, “David, you must
have mistaken the person. Alice passed away more than twenty years ago.”
David was still in a daze. Yes, he had left Alice alone and gone abroad for
further studies. Shortly after he left, he heard that Alice had already passed
away. It had been more than twenty years.
“It’s too similar.” David coughed lightly, disguising his previous loss of
composure. “I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and walked up to Sherry, saying,
“Miss, my son really likes this private room. I’ve decided to have our meal here. There are only two of you, so you can go to the main hall.”
“Can’t two people use the private room?” Sherry had originally planned to
take Mr. Sniper upstairs first, but at this moment, she saw Violet and Sophia. She instantly understood that this middle–aged man in front of her was most likely Sophia’s influential stepfather.
With such an overbearing manner, it was no wonder he had raised such a
spoiled child.
Her gaze coldly swept across Sophia, followed by Violet. Then she sneered,
“I’m sorry; I arrived here first. I haven’t finished eating yet. If you want to use
this private room, go to the main hall and wait for a while. You can come in
after we finish our meal.”
Violet also didn’t expect to meet Sherry here today.
In order to calm Sophia and the two in–laws, she wanted to do her best to
hide Malcolm’s previous marriage history, especially this lowly ex–wife!
She sternly shouted, “Sherry, who do you think you are? Is this how you talk to
your elders? Get out of here!”
“I can’t leave,” Sherry sat directly in her original seat and raised her hand,
saying, “Waitress, please give me a menu. I want to order.”
The waitress was a bit at a loss. She couldn’t understand why Sherry, who
had been easy to talk to just now, suddenly changed into a different person,
as if she had a conflict with these new customers. She didn’t budge an inch.
She hesitated and handed the menu over, saying, “Do you want to order
now?
“Yes, right now.” Sherry took the menu, and her expression turned cold. “Also,
please kindly ask these impolite and uncivilized people to leave. Can’t you
manage the customers in your hotel?”
The waitress could only nod and say, “Um, would you like to join me in a
private room next door? The decor is the same as here. After all, this
gentleman and lady have already reserved this place, and they haven’t finished their meal yet.”
“Who are you calling impolite and lacking manners?” Sophia now had
someone backing her up, so she was becoming more arrogant. “Sherry, you really are uneducated!”
“Yes, my education may not be as good as yours, but at least I don’t behave

improperly and seduce my own brother–in–law.”
Sophia didn’t expect Sherry, who used to be tongue–tied, to have such a
quick retort. She was momentarily at a loss for words and afraid of angering
Malcolm. “You…
“Did I say something wrong?” Sherry sneered. “Sophia, I didn’t provoke you,
but you keep coming to provoke me over and over again.”
Sophia was furious; her eyes widened. “Sherry, are you done yet?”
“Alright, alright,” Nora said. “We’re all actually one family; it’s just a small misunderstanding. There’s no need to argue to this extent. Sherry, since we happened to meet today, let me introduce you. This is my husband, and this
is our son, Joseph. You’ve already met him once, backstage at the car
exhibition. Joseph, be a good boy and greet her.”
Joseph spat directly at Sherry. “I won’t do it. This ugly freak doesn’t deserve
my attention!”
“Joseph!” Nora frowned. “You can’t be so rude. Apologize to her.”
“I won’t! I didn’t do anything wrong! This ugly freak threw away my basketball
and even scolded me. I won’t greet her!”
Joseph started shouting, and Nora ignored him, allowing him to cry and
shout. It seemed like she was deliberately stirring up trouble.
Joseph was the only child of David, and he was the apple of his father’s eye.
David always spoiled him, giving him whatever he wanted. Ever since he was young, let alone apologize, he had never even said thank you.
Sherry could force Sophia into silence, but she couldn’t do the same with
Joseph.
Sure enough, David felt sorry for his son and shouted angrily, “No need to
apologize! Why should Joseph apologize? Is she even worthy?”
Tensions rose, and the atmosphere was tensed.
The waitress was also at a loss. Neither group seemed willing to back down,
and she was afraid that this brat would smash the private room as well. She
was getting nervous.
“Don’t be angry; let’s calm down.”
Sherry glanced at her and handed the menu back to her. “Let’s start with a
set meal for two. You can leave first.”
The waitress felt relieved. “Okay, okay, I’ll put your order…”
“Wait…” Mr. Sniper, who had been silent all along, sat upright behind Sherry, his
long legs crossed and his hands folded on his lap. “Serve us all the dishes
listed on your menu.”
The waiter was taken aback. “This…”
“Is it not possible?”
“No, no, it’s possible, but… our hotel has hundreds of dishes. There are only two
of you. Isn’t it a bit too much?”
“Not too much,” Mr. Sniper said. “My girlfriend is pregnant and has cravings.
She eats what she likes and leaves out what she doesn’t. You don’t have to
take away the dishes that she doesn’t eat. Consider it a treat for the people
who came later. It won’t go to waste.”
As soon as he said this, David’s expression changed almost instantly.
When had he ever been humiliated like this?
“Dude, your attitude is quite something.”
“Well,” Mr. Sniper didn’t argue. “I used to believe that a person’s attitude
should align with their status and cultivation. However, meeting you today
has completely changed my perspective.”
David’s gaze froze. “What do you mean?”
“Exactly what you understood,” Mr. Sniper smirked. “Am I not right, Mr. David
Jimenez?
The chair beside Sherry fell to the ground. She had intended to sit down and
wait for the food, but upon hearing the name “David Jimenez,” she couldn’t
maintain her composure.
David could very well be her father.
But how could he marry Nora and have a son?
So, he had abandoned his wife and unborn daughter for his younger
brother’s wife!
