"Sheryl, have you secretly fallen in love with this man?" Anthony inquired of Sheryl with anger.
Sheryl got restless as she heard Anthony's words. She didn't know her own true feelings for Charles either.
"Anthony, calm down. I can explain to you..." Sheryl tried her best to pacify Anthony, but he was overcome by rage and refused to listen to her.
He flashed her a cold smile and said, "Sheryl, move aside. If you still consider me your boyfriend, you will do as I say."
Anthony was very jealous when he saw Sheryl stand in front of Charles to protect him.
"Sher, move aside," Charles said in a soft tone. He wiped the blood on his mouth with the back of his hand. He was radiating controlled anger, though his voice and actions were calm.
Sheryl turned to Charles and snapped at him, "You better leave right now. Don't cause more trouble."
Charles felt pleased because he realized that Sheryl was worried about him and protecting him from being hurt.
He smiled and assured Sheryl, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me. I won't get injured."
With his arms around her shoulder he took her aside and told her, "Just stay here and don't move. This is a matter between Anthony and me. It's time to resolve it now."
The two men had fought each other for Sheryl countless times. Now they again began fighting violently. Both of them were strong and used their fists to land blows on each other. Sheryl was worried about Charles when she saw Anthony hit him hard on the back.
Although Charles had told her to stay out of this, she couldn't just stand and watch them fighting. She shouted at them, "Stop! Stop! Both of you!"
Her words fell on deaf ears and made no impact. Their hatred for each other was at its peak and manifesting in the fight.
Anthony warned Charles, "Charles Lu, you better stay away from Sheryl, otherwise I will beat you up so badly that you will not recognize your own face!"
"I have already told you that Sheryl is mine. I will never leave her for you," Charles replied. Charles glanced casually at Anthony and said, "But I never expected you to ally with Archer to defeat me. It is a dangerous game you are playing and getting involved in. You might lose both Sheryl and your money by doing this."
Anthony was taken aback as he heard Charles' words. He didn't expect his secret to come to Charles' knowledge so quickly. He sneered and said, "Don't worry. What you received was just a 'gift' from me. I will give you more in the future. You will definitely taste defeat one day."
"I will never be defeated by you, no matter whatever silly tricks you choose to play on me." Charles smiled coldly at Anthony. "Both Sheryl and the company are mine forever."
"Oh, really?" Anthony got infuriated. The visual of the kiss between Sheryl and Charles again came to his mind. He punched Charles viciously with all his strength.
Charles punched him in return with the same ferocity.
In a short while, both their faces got black and blue.
Sheryl was so nervous and yelled at them, "If you go on fighting, I promise I won't see either of you anymore."
