Chapter 653 A Friend in Higher Places

“Madam Lynch, I’m the one who beat those men up. If I leave, they’ll come after you and Cecilia, so there’s no way I’m leaving now,” Tom firmly declared.

“Don’t worry about us. Just hurry up and leave! If you waste any more time, it’ll be too late!” Sherry urged anxiously.

“Madam Lynch, why don’t you two leave Churron with us?” Miranda asked. She didn’t want to leave Sherry and Cecilia behind.

“We’ve lived here for so long now. There’s nowhere else we can go,” Sherry said.

“Tom and I came from Southlake City. Now that our soldiers have taken back the city, why don’t you head there with us?” Miranda suggested.

The moment Sherry heard the name Southlake City, she felt mixed feelings. Memories of the past flooded her mind.

Noticing Sherry’s silence, Miranda continued, “Come with us. My boss back in Southlake City is a very warm–hearted person. I’m sure she’ll arrange accommodation for you. I have some assets there, too, so I can help you.”

Here in Churron, she was penniless, but that wouldn’t be the same once she got back to Southlake City.

She had been the vice president of Southlake Corporation for several years now and had a sizable net worth.

Plus, Miranda was sure that once Willow heard about Sherry and Cecilia’s situation, she would help them, too.

“That’s right. Willow’s very kind, and she owns a major corporation. She can help you get a job and settle down in Southlake City,” Tom added.

Even if Willow refused to help, Tom himself could lend Sherry and Cecilia a hand.

“What are you thinking about, Madam Lynch? Is something holding you back?” Miranda asked when she saw the faraway look in Sherry’s eyes.

“I–I won’t be joining you,” Sherry said as she came back to reality.

“Why not? Is it because you can’t bear to leave Churron?” Miranda asked.

“Cecilia’s in her last year in high school. This is a crucial year for her. Her studies will be greatly affected if she leaves Churron. Let’s wait until she finishes her studies first,” Sherry said.
