The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1121

Rachel was convinced by Holley's words and believed as long as Charles was doubting Sheryl, their relationship would, sooner or later, be at a breaking point.

Charles was standing in his office right next to the glass wall that overlooked the city. It looked like he was appreciating the view, but his mind was traveling outside of this office walls. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and entered his secretary, who told him that the lead expert of the investigation had come. He told his secretary to let him in. As Charles moved towards his desk to sit on his chair, the man walked towards him with a folder full of papers in hand. The man put the results on Charles' desk with pride, knowing that he and his men had worked several days and nights for this. "Mr. Lu, please, take a look."

Charles picked up the reports and scanned through the pages for a long time, reading the texts and eyeing the pictures. Finally, after a thorough check of the whole report, he closed the folder with a satisfying smile. He turned to the man and praised, "You and your team did a really great job. Your reports are very detailed, and will surely help us. What's funny though is that even someone who knows nothing about Photoshop or any graphic editing programs can tell that these photos are fabricated."

The man bowed in respect and left as soon as he was dismissed. Charles turned his chair behind and looked back at the glass window. In this battle, he had gotten closer to victory.

The only thing left to do now was expose the reports to the public in the press conference.

In this way, the public would finally know the truth and would be clear about the relationship among Rachel, Tarsan Corporation, Sheryl, and even himself.

This was the only way to let the public understand that Rachel intended to frame Sheryl.

Most people in this city were not stupid, and they would eventually piece the puzzles together for they were very well acquainted with the struggles and the battles in rich families, for this was not the first one in this century.

Charles lifted a smirk on his face. With the evidence and the speech he already thought of, all people in this city would be back on his side.

Then, he turned around again and turned to his secretary, who was still in the room, waiting to be dismissed. "David," he called out, making David turn his attention on Charles. "David, inform the media that the press conference will be held earlier than scheduled," Charles said with excitement evident in his voice.

David nodded, "Will do, Mr. Lu." He bowed and walked out of the office in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Holley had just gotten up, feeling really tired and sore. As she sat up and stretched, the first thing that popped in her mind was what Rachel told her last night. Thinking about it now with energy and a fresh mind, she realized that Rachel's concern was not to be dismissed. After all, people were, indeed, easy to forget, especially when another more controversial and trending news stole the public's interest.

Once a topic got cold and moved on with the time passed by, the effect would grow weaker and weaker, and soon, no one would be talking about it.

'Now, how to change this situation?' Holley thought.

She needed to think about this carefully. She racked her brain for any potential stir that would bring the topic back up.

As if a light bulb suddenly lit in her mind, Holley smiled as she thought of another person that hated Sheryl.

'Yes, this is the perfect time to remind Duncan of his grudge for Sheryl, ' she thought, making sure that Duncan would not simply forget about what happened to him because of Sheryl.

She immediately got his phone number from Rachel, who wondered what she was planning to do. Without even telling Rachel her plans, Holley thanked her and dialed Duncan in haste.

As soon as the call was answered on the third ring, Holley said in a polite manner, "Hello, is this Mr. Qiu, manager of Tarsan Corporation?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Qiu, and no, I am not the manager of Tarsan Corporation anymore," Duncan answered with complaint and annoyance evident in his voice. Holley smiled as she purposely wanted to make him feel the irritation. Before Holley could speak again, Duncan asked, "Who is this?"

"I'm Holley. We once met each other. Maybe you still recognized me if you happen to have a good memory," Holley replied and introduced herself with a smile. More importantly, she wanted to instigate Duncan's discontent with the past.

Her scheme would be much easier to carry out if Duncan still held a grudge on what he had suffered.

"Holley? As in Holley Ye?" Holley grinned. How could she not have left a deep impression on him? She was a close friend with Rachel, the CEO of Tarsan Corporation. He had wanted to please Holley before.

However, he wasn't given a chance to completely impress Holley, because he got fired, making him really angry and annoyed.

"Why did you call? I didn't expect you to still remember me," Duncan added. The confusion was clearly evident in his tone.
