The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1124

The car was waiting for Sheryl outside Dream Garden. As the car zoomed off, Duncan came out of the corner and waited till the car was absolutely out of the sight. He gave a malicious smile as he looked at the Dream Garden with a scheme rising in his mind.

As Sheryl reached the conference, she headed straight to see Charles. "Where is the evidence? I want to see it," she said in an impatient voice.

Sheryl was eager to prove her innocence to the world. Hence, she couldn't wait for it any further to get her hands on the evidence.

"Sher, take it easy. You will see it soon. Don't worry; your innocence will be proved to the world in no time. As soon as the evidence is revealed, everyone will know the photos are false," Charles answered in a stern tone to reassure Sheryl.

"Fine then. I just promised Shirley and Clark to send them to their kindergarten tomorrow." Sheryl heaved a sigh of relief to hear Charles. For so many days, the whole family had been avoiding meeting anyone. They had even discontinued school for the kids. Sheryl hoped that they could get back to normalcy once the false news about her was proved in front of the public.

"Don't worry. The press conference will begin after half an hour. Then all the unreasonable accusations and blames you suffered would disappear. The media will turn to blame the person who had framed you. So just take it easy. It will be fine soon," Charles said tenderly and looked at her affectionately.

Sheryl was moved by his words and gesture. Had it not been for Charles' unwavering trust and his support, she must have been destroyed by such a devastating blow.

Although they argued with each other during these days, Charles stood by her like a rock. He was her strength at this hour of despair, ready to go to any length in order to prove her innocence in front of the people.

He would never give up on her under any circumstance.

After making Sheryl feel comfortable, he led her to her seat and then turned to David. "Make the final preparation ready to make sure the conference is ready to start. Make sure to double check each and everything to make sure that nothing goes wrong due to any reason," Charles ordered David.

"Yes, Mr. Lu. Everything is ready. We are all set before the truth is revealed to the public," David said confidently.

After checking all the pieces of evidence with David, Charles heaved a sigh of relief. Charles looked at Sheryl and gave her a reassuring smile. Then he moved on to look around for the other arrangements at the conference. Sheryl sat quietly, waiting for the conference to begin. They were all ready to make their masterstroke that would help Sheryl to come out clean in front of the media.

Little did they imagine the heinous danger that was looming over Dream Garden!

Duncan checked the time and let out a crooked smile. He raised one eyebrow and looked around. Then he dialed a number. His eyes narrowed as he waited for the call to be answered. "Where are you now?" he asked as the call got through.

"Mr. Qiu, we are in the minibus outside Dream Garden,"

a man answered.

"Go ahead with the plan just as I explained to you yesterday. Just leave Y City immediately after you put the two of them in the appointed place. Got it?" Duncan commanded the man on the other end.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu. We will leave this place immediately as long as we get the money we deserve after we finish our task. I promise we won't cause any trouble to you," the man replied.

"Be rest assured. You don't have to worry about the money. I won't break my words," Duncan afirmed in a stern voice.

"Okay, then. I'll hang up now. You shouldn't call this number anymore. You can just remit the money as soon as you see what you want in the appointed place in just half an hour."

"Okay." Duncan hung up the phone then.

At the back lane of Dream Garden, a minibus was parked with five muscular men sitting on it. One of these men was talking over the phone and the other four were gazing at him as if they were just waiting for him to end the call. As soon as he ended the call, he turned around and said, "Let go, buddies! It's time to start work. After this task, we will get enough money that will take care of our year-long expenses."

At once all the men jumped up on their feet. They put on caps and pulled the masks on their faces. The very next moment, the got off the bus and rushed towards Dream Garden.

Inside Dream Garden, Nancy was reading books with the two kids. As the men broke open the back door, Nancy looked up at them in horror.

"Oh! Who are you?"

She screamed out in shock.

But before she could even utter another word, she got a hard blow on her head and fell on the floor losing her consciousness.

Shirley was terrified to see Nancy falling down. She burst into tears and tried to reach out to Nancy. But one man came forward and stopped her from moving. The man put a finger on her lips and hushed her in a very scary manner. Shirley's voice vanished immediately, though tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
