Chapter 172 Everyone's Destiny (Part Two)

After she heard her, Cherry was very disappointed, and sighed, "Oh."

She continued to ask her, "Do you know where the Shens are living now? The family who lived here

before the Wangs."

The maid shook her head, and replied, "I really don't know, but I think that the owners said that they

bought the house from a friend who had bought it at a low price from its original owners that had

difficulties."

Cherry's hopes had been shattered completely. She couldn't find any trace of the Shen family, and

thought, 'It's been so long already... How could I ever find something here?'

After Cherry said goodbye to the maid, she opened her car's door and was about to get inside it and

leave, but suddenly saw a car park next to hers. Curious, she tried to see who it was.

A middle-aged woman was sitting in the car, and asked her, "Aren't you Cherry?"

After she saw her, she immediately cried, "Aunt Eva!" Cherry seemed to stumble into an old

acquaintance of hers.

Eva then quickly got out of the car and Cherry happily hugged her. "Aunt Eva, do you still live here?"

she asked.

"Yes, I do, " said Eva while looking at beautiful Cherry. She continued, "Cherry you're so beautiful! You

haven't changed for a bit in all these years!"

Cherry smiled at her without replying.

Then, Eva suddenly asked surprised, "Why did you come here?"

Cherry looked at her, and said, "I came to look for my father."

When Cherry mentioned about Harrison, Eva's cheerful expression suddenly changed. She said,

"Cherry, you know that your family was always in a constant turmoil, I don't need to tell you that. I heard

that your father's company had gradually gotten worse after your sister disappeared, and that later had

become bankrupt. That Jade divorced your dad and sold the house, and last I heard of her from

someone at a party, she's abroad, " said Eva. She paused for a moment, and then said, "As for your

father, I really don't know where he is. My husband and I were trying to find him, but we're also busy

with our things. We only ask our friends when we're free if anyone of them has found out something

new, but nothing yet."

Cherry became very sad after she heard Eva's words. Eva had been her neighbor for many years, and

had watched her grow up ever since she had been a child.

She then suddenly sorted out her emotions, and said, "It's okay, Aunt Eva, I'll search for him. My dad

should be alright."

Aunt Eva held Cherry's hand, and replied, "Child, don't work yourself to bad... I know how Jade treated

you, and I also know what your father did and the bad things that he did to you with her. You're such a

kind soul because you still care about him."

"He is my father, after all. I only want to know where he is and how he's doing." said Cherry.

Aunt Eva then shook her head, and said, "Um, let's find him first, " and after she paused for a while,

she continued, "By the way, I heard that your sister has gone crazy. Is that true?"

Cherry was more surprised than confused. She asked, "Crazy? How is that possible?" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Cherry had no idea of such a thing, and continued to say, "I don't know."

Eva thought for a while, and said, "I don't know what happened exactly. I only heard from someone that

after she left the Ye Family she started going to some nightclubs. I don't know what happened later, but

no one has seen her anymore."

Cherry felt so sad when she heard the news. She had never cared about these things in the past, but

these people were the closest that she had to a family. Had her sister actually gone crazy?

Seeing that Cherry didn't reply, Eva also stopped talking. She was worried that Cherry was sad, and

comforted her, "Cherry, don't think too much about these things."

Cherry pretended to be strong and nodded. As she tried to hold back her tears, she said, "Well, Aunt

Eva, I just want to find my father. I have no time to care about the others."

Cherry didn't care about Jean or Jade at all, and she only cared about Harrison. She wanted to know

where and how he was.

"Well, very good, Cherry, I told you, don't hurt yourself too much by thinking about it. If you need any

help you can always come to me here, " patiently said Aunt Eva.

"Okay, thank you!"

After she said her goodbye to her Aunt Eva, Cherry got into her car. Her mind was a mess, and she

couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Suddenly, Cherry remembered that she might had indeed changed completely after Emily's death. She

hadn't paid close attention to what had happened to Jean because she hadn't cared about it, but now

she realized that she hadn't seen Jean since they last met at Emily's house. She wondered what had

happened to her after that? Who had punished her for that?

Cherry shook her head and couldn't believe her thoughts. She couldn't think of anyone else besides

Jackson. John had divorced Jean, and even if he wanted to do something to Jean, he couldn't,

because it would have raised too much suspicion. The only capable one was Jackson.

Cherry bit her lower lips while she pondered so many thoughts. It seemed that her own destiny and the

destinies of the Shen family members were all in Jackson's hand. Was Jackson destined to be in her

world?
