Chapter 4 Alexander is going to marry Sherry!

After listening to Lillian, Sherry was still very confused. "A ring? I didn't receive any ring... Oh, wait, Mom, I remember now. Yesterday, an anonymous fan sent me a diamond ring through express delivery! I was afraid the media would make a fuss if they saw it, so I put the ring away!"

Upon hearing this, Lillian became happy. "That's it! Mr. Melville must have been secretly in love with you for a long time, pursuing you in the name of your fan! I've already investigated, and the person who came to give the gift yesterday was indeed Mr. Melville's personal assistant!"

"Sherry, the Melville family is the first family, and Mr. Melville is very sincere towards you. He must love you. If you marry him, you will be happy!"

Sherry couldn't help but blush, her heart beating faster. She had never met Alexander, but she had definitely heard of Alexander, the president of the Melville Group. He was a business tycoon!

She never expected that even Alexander was a passionate fan secretly in love with her, to the point of coming to her house and proposing directly. It was all because of her irresistible charm!

In the afternoon, Katherine returned home, holding a delicate photo frame in her arms. She changed into slippers and went straight upstairs.

Sherry happened to be coming downstairs and deliberately blocked her. "What are you holding? Did you steal the jewelry from my gift?"

Katherine stopped and said calmly, "This is my own personal item."

"I don't believe you. Take it out and let me see!" Sherry had never liked Katherine, who grew up in the countryside, and felt that Katherine lowered the status of the Galatea family, so she never respected Katherine.

She reached out and snatched the thing Katherine was protecting in her arms. "Oh, I thought you were holding a treasure, but it turns out to be a photo of that home wrecker!"

The photo was Katherine’s mother, Claire Galatea.

Katherine reached out to take back the photo frame, but Sherry deliberately dropped it on the ground. "Oops, I accidentally dropped it!"

Looking at the photo frame being stepped on by Sherry, anger surged in Katherine's eyes. It was a rare old photo of Claire that she had found in the Galatea family's old album. Today, she had it restored and put it in the frame, ready to place it in her room.

Katherine angrily grabbed Sherry's clothes and said coldly, "Pick it up!"

Sherry was not afraid at all. "What if I don't? Let me tell you, I'm about to become the mistress of the Melville family, and if you dare to provoke me, the Melville family will teach you a lesson!"

Katherine was taken aback.

The man who took her away and got engaged to her yesterday was also surnamed Melville. Now, every time she heard the name Melville, it annoyed her!

"Are you talking about the first family, the Melville family?"

Sherry looked smug. "Yes! Are you scared? You should be! The young master of the Melville family, Alexander, is my loyal fan and suitor, and now he is going to marry me! Those gifts are all wedding presents that the Melville family sent me last night. You better not touch them, or you won't be able to afford the consequences!"

Katherine glanced at the gifts that Sherry was pointing at, and she seemed to have figured something out.

Katherine thought for a moment and said to Sherry with a meaningful look, "Congratulations! But are you sure a prestigious family like the Melville family can accept a female celebrity with so many scandals in the entertainment industry as their mistress?"

Sherry was struck by her words. "It's none of your business! Mr. Melville loves me, and he will take good care of me!"

"Really?"

Katherine smiled and didn't say anything more.

She picked up the photo of Claire, dusted it off, and went upstairs.

She was still worried about how to get rid of the trouble she accidentally caused yesterday, but since Sherry was so eager to marry Alexander in her place, that was perfect!

Sherry snorted and muttered to herself. "What that country girl said makes some sense. The Melville family is the first family, and I'm just a little famous star. If the elders of the Melville family find out about my scandals, it won't be good for me."

With that in mind, Sherry decided to leave the entertainment industry immediately!

Compared to being the mistress of the Melville family, those interests in the entertainment industry were nothing at all.

Just as Sherry was about to call the company to terminate her contract and leave the entertainment industry, her phone rang.

She didn't know why she had been receiving so many harassing calls recently. She didn't intend to answer this call, but she saw that it was from the wealthy man she had recently hooked up with. She happened to want to end things with him, so she answered the call.

"Babe, where are you? I miss you so much! Come to the hotel tonight and keep me company!"

Sherry replied with disgust, "Don't call me babe. It’s disgusting!"

"What did you say? Don't forget how you begged me to help you get the next Camellia Award!"

Sherry didn't care at all. "I've already quit the entertainment industry, so I don't care about the Camellia Award. Give it to someone else! Don't call me again in the future!"

The flamboyantly dressed older man was livid. He had even bought a diamond ring for Sherry and sent it to her, but now this woman had taken his ring and turned against him!

In his mind, he cursed, "Bitch! You won't be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore. You will be blacklisted!"

Three days later, the Galatea family held a banquet in celebration of Sherry's upcoming wedding. Relatives and friends gathered to congratulate her.

Lillian had made sure that the event was grand, all to gracefully marry off her beloved daughter Sherry.

"Look, the Melville family's convoy has arrived! So grand, the Melville family truly deserves its status as the first family. These cars are all limited edition luxury vehicles!"

"I've only seen the leading car in magazines. Its price can buy ten Bugattis!"

"I envy Sherry for being able to marry such an outstanding man like Mr. Melville!"

Listening to the exclamations and flattery from relatives and friends, Sherry, dressed in her wedding gown, held her head high with great satisfaction.

She didn't see Katherine coming out and thought to herself, ‘Maybe she's hiding somewhere, secretly envious and jealous of me! Hmph, she can continue to envy me, but it won't change anything!’

Sherry was about to meet her groom, and she was filled with anticipation, curious about what kind of man Alexander was.

He must be handsome, and he would surely kneel in front of her, professing his love amidst the envious gazes.

A line of luxury cars stopped at the entrance of the Galatea Manor.

Alexander stepped out of the leading car, tall and imposing, exuding nobility and elegance.

Leander signaled for the formally dressed groomsmen to get out of the car, and they followed Alexander towards the entrance of the Galatea Manor.

Suddenly, the groom, Alexander, paused, looked up, and his sharp gaze swept towards the rooftop of the Galatea Manor!

On the attic balcony, a woman in pajamas was leaning on the railing, leisurely sipping coffee and looking down at the scene below.

But in the brief moment of eye contact with him, the woman quickly turned around and disappeared.

Katherine sensed that something was wrong. She had just been observing from the balcony, and it seemed like Alexander had noticed her!

However, she had heavy makeup on that day, and now she had removed it. Alexander shouldn't be able to recognize her, right?

Just in case she felt that she couldn't stay at home any longer. She had to slip away quickly!

Downstairs, seeing Alexander suddenly stop, Leander was puzzled and approached to remind him, "Mr. Melville, the Galatea Manor is right in front of you. Why don't you go in?"
