Chapter 8 56 % 5 vouchers Yancy heard them talking and figured out what was going on . His eyes shifted , focusing on the wound on Lynn's head , and he frowned again . He looked at Sherry mockingly and said , " Mr. Hammond , where'd you find this wild kid ? Fighting like a thug - pulling hair , pinching - it's just rude . " At Yancy's words , Sherry's ears perked up . She quickly looked up at him , then down . She remembered his voice - it was that uncle who told her to die . She glanced at Harold again , scared he might not like her either . Harold hadn't expected Sherry to do that . He smiled a bit at Sherry and suddenly said , " Nice job . " Sherry's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked up at Harold . Harold playfully pinched her cheek . " Keep it up . If anyone hits you , hit back . I'll take care of the rest . " Sherry blinked . Her eyes on him brightened , and she straightened up without realizing it . Watching this , Yancy got annoyed . He blamed it on disliking Harold's parenting and snorted sarcastically , " You'll take care of it ? I've heard Hammond Group's stock dropped , six months of work wasted , and money gone . With Hammond Group in trouble , Mr. Hammond , you still have time for kids ' fights ? " Harold's eyes went cold . He glared at Yancy and snapped , " Unlike your Lemmon family , I don't have the nerve to steal trade secrets and act so cocky . " Glorious Technology was the Lemmon family's business . Yancy's younger brother , Xayvion Lemmon , now ran the medical robot project . Yancy scowled , " Stealing trade secrets ? That's against the law . Mr. Hammond , don't badmouth me ." Harold said calmly , " If you want to know the truth , ask your dear brother when you get home . And tell him , since he loves digging through trash so much , he might as well be a beggar . " " You ! " Yancy was seething . He scowled and rushed off to find out what was going on . Yarden and Xavius tried to stop Yancy but Yancy didn't even look back . Yoel waved his fist at Yarden and Xavius . " Still wanna , fight ? " Yarden and Xavius were too mad to talk and took off running . " Loser , " Zackery muttered . But when Harold stared at him , his face went pale . He clammed up quick - too scared to say a thing . Zackery thought , ' Oh no , Uncle Harold's the toughest ; he'll definitely punish us .' Harold stayed silent and took the three troublemakers home . Zeina gasped when she saw them all dirty . " What happened ? " The kids didn't dare say a word . Harold , lounging on the couch , said , " They had a scuffle with those Lemmon and Fennell kids . " Yoel whispered , " They hit Sherry first , so we fought back . " Zeina looked shocked and blurted out , " Fighting ? Who won ? " 1/3 02:01 Mon , Sep 8 GG G Chapter 8 Sherry blinked , surprised , and looked at Zeina . She had thought Zeina would blame them . 3.56 % EL 5 vouchers Normally , Zeina would be mad , but those were Lemmon and Fennell kids - Zeina was all for it . She remembered what Emmett and Yancy had said and didn't like them . Even if Scarlett had done something wrong , she was gone . Emmett and Yancy didn't even hold a funeral for her ; instead , they said harsh words to Sherry . That was so mean . Harold nodded at Sherry and said , " She pulled out a chunk of Lynn's hair . " Zeina gave Sherry a bit of a surprised look . Under Sherry's nervous eyes , Zeina pulled Sherry into a hug , and then just burst out laughing , saying , " Wow , you're something else , my little darling ! " Sherry was stunned by the hug ; hearing the praise , she blushed , her eyes shining . Xavier nodded at Zackery and Yoel . " Nice work to protect Sherry . " Zackery and Yoel puffed up their chests . " Of course , we're big brothers ! " This was the first fight they got praised for , so they were thrilled . They happily took Sherry's little hand and went to play with Legos . Both of them thought that having a sister was awesome . Harold went back to working overtime . Sherry watched Harold leave and whispered to Zackery and Yoel , " Was it that family that took Dad's business ? " Zackery didn't know much and just said , " Probably . Yarden's uncle started a company and often competes with Uncle Harold . " Yoel snorted , " If Uncle Julius were in the company , they wouldn't dare act up . " Hearing that , Sherry was surprised Julius ? " Zackery suddenly remembered . " Oh right , you haven't met Uncle Julius yet . He's in the hospital and will be back in a few days . He ... " But then he seemed to recall something , shook his head , and stopped . Then Zackery added , " Actually , it's better if you haven't met him . Uncle Julius is even tougher than Uncle Harold . " Sherry frowned , her eyes wide , " My dad isn't scary . He's really nice . " " Nice ? " Zackery and Yoel looked at each other , despair in their eyes . They thought , ' Oh no , Sherry's great , but she doesn't notice things . Uncle Harold isn't nice at all . He's really mean . Zeina was listening nearby and couldn't help laughing . Harold better not hear this , or he would get a big head . But when they mentioned Julius , her smile faded , and she sighed softly . ***** It had been snowing a lot lately .

Zeina saw Sherry hugging a flowerpot , talking away . Sherry looked super serious , nodding her head like she was having a real chat . Zeina chuckled and walked over .

" These flowers you watered are gorgeous , Sherry ." Her eyes lit up . " So pretty and fragrant ! " Even the camellia , which was almost dead , was now blooming beautifully .
