Sheryl looked up to find Elaine Emerson.

She wore a hypocritical smile under her thick, delicate makeup. Sheryl was a little frightened by her looks and backed away subconsciously.

By now, Charlotte had already caught up to her daughter.

However, she took no notice of Elaine as she grabbed Sheryl's hand and chastised, "Sheryl, you mustn't run around! There are so many people here, what if you meet a bad guy?" Sheryl didn't utter a word in response. Instead, she cowered behind her.
