The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1117

It was widely known that Tarsan Corporation and Shining Company were leading enterprises in Y City. Now that the boss of the media company already offended the latter, he had no intention of messing with the former. He didn't want to ruin his career by insulting the two biggest companies at the same time.

Abruptly, Sheryl snatched the phone from Charles' hand and ended the call.

"Come on, honey, don't blame them. Now that they've released the news, they must have already weighed the pros and cons. It's useless to trouble them," she persuaded her furious husband.

"Sher, these are fake pictures, right?" Nancy asked her in confusion. She wanted to trust Sheryl, for she didn't believe that the latter would have an affair.

But the photos told another story. 'What's going on? Is the report telling the truth or not?' she wondered.

Even though she didn't want to explain it, seeing the anxious look on the maid's face made her decide to clarify the fact. "Of course those pictures are processed. I was set up," she expounded.

Sheryl's brief explanation dispelled Nancy's doubts. Raising her brows, the loyal maid voiced out her thoughts, "You're in trouble, Sher. Since it was on TV, the people who saw it will believe the report.

You said you didn't do this and I believe you. But you can't explain to everyone. Even if you do, I don't think they'll believe you."

Even without Nancy's reminder, Sheryl knew that she was in an awkward position and it couldn't get worse. Despite the fact, there was nothing she could do about it.

Knowing this, Sheryl told herself, 'I have no choice but to live with it.'

"Daddy, Mommy, get up! When are we going to school?"

Clark and Shirley asked at the same time, as they got out of their room.

Sheryl headed upstairs and stood in front of her loving kids. If she escorted them to school, she knew she might embarrass them with the whole issue going on. "Clark, Shirley, I just realized that I have some work to do. Would you get mad at me if I couldn't take part in the activity?"

Sheryl asked tentatively as she watched the kids intently.

If she broke her word, she was afraid that Clark and Shirley would get upset.

But if she kept her promise, they wouldn't only feel sad but also humiliated.

"Why not, Mom? Can't you deal with your work later?"

Shirley protested with a pout.

Not knowing how to explain, Sheryl was rendered speechless.

At that moment, Charles joined them. Noticing the disappointment on his children's faces, he stepped forward and stopped to squat so he was at eye-level with the kids. "Here's the thing. Your teacher called off this activity because she had something to take care of. She said he would organize this on another day," he calmly explained.

"Is that so, Daddy?"

Clark asked in disbelief.

"Yes, of course," Charles confirmed, as he gazed into Clark's eye with resolve.

"Did the teacher say why she called it off?"

Clark asked curiously.

"No, she didn't. She just said that he got something to do," Charles replied. After a pause, he continued, "If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself next Monday."

Because Charles seldom lied to him, Clark finally believed his father.

Meanwhile, Shirley had no doubt of her father's statement.

"Well, that's it. You two can go ahead and play together. Mom and I have something to deal with, so we'll go out for a bit," he explained, staring at the kids. Seeing that they bought his story, he sighed in relief.
