The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1335

"It's Charles' mother, Melissa. As you already know, she never likes me. Since we met, she has always been making it difficult for me. I compromise again and again to maintain the harmony between us, but she never stops. Now, she even lets Leila live in Dream Garden. Who knows what she is planning next? I really don't know what I have done wrong to make her hate me so much!"

Sheryl complained sulkily, looking upset. Isla looked at her frustrated face and couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She patted Sheryl's head, trying to comfort her.

"Sometimes I really feel exhausted with this life. I even start to doubt whether marrying Charles is a mistake or not. Should we divorce now and cut the loss in time?" Sheryl sounded rather indignant.

Isla looked at her with sympathetic eyes. She knew that Sheryl didn't really mean to divorce Charles. Her words were merely to vent out her anger. After all, she loved Charles so much, and she would never choose to leave him.

She could feel how sad and disappointed Sheryl was. Isla was also angry that she was treated wrongly. If this situation continued, Sheryl's wounds would only be deeper. It was heartbreaking to know that as long as Melissa was around, Sheryl had to tolerate this kind of life.

They must take actions to turn the tables around.

"Sheryl, in my opinion, they dare to bully you because you have been too kind and forgiving. You must be tough, and give them a warning so they won't think you're a pushover,"

Isla said in a serious tone as she touched Sheryl's shoulders.

Sheryl looked at Isla confused. "But what can I do? Nothing will change the fact that Melissa is Charles' mother. Even if she has already driven a wedge between me and Charles by framing me up, Charles will never forgive me if something bad happens to her."

Isla sighed. She thought that Sheryl was so simple and naive. How she wanted to wake her up and shake Charles off from her head. Sheryl needed someone to tell her that Charles wasn't the only thing to her, and she shouldn't compromise her life for him all the time.

"Hear me out, Sheryl. You don't need to do anything to Melissa. We need to think about another way to have her suffer," Isla suggested. "Since Leila is her partner, you can punish her instead. It's like hitting two birds in one stone. Once they know that you are not subject to their humiliation, none of them will dare to mistreat you at will."

"Are you sure it will work?" Sheryl had never thought of targeting Leila. But Isla's plan sounded promising.

"It's not like you have any other choice. You can try that now and see if it works. Otherwise Melissa will always be an obstacle in your relationship with Charles. I will not be surprised if she ends up breaking you apart one day."

Sheryl nodded. What Isla said made sense. So far, Melissa had caused so many misunderstandings and quarrels between her and Charles. If she let Melissa run her life, she would end up destroying her. There was nothing left to do but to take the initiative to stop her.

"All right. I agree with you. I would rather find a solution to end it than bear her endless insult myself," she said resolutely.

Lost in thought, Sheryl stayed in her office after Isla left. She must fight back! She was so preoccupied that she didn't even notice how time elapsed. The stars started to appear as the darkness enveloped everything in sight. When Sheryl finally found a solution, it was already at night.

Sheryl stroke her forehead. Just thinking about going home gave her a headache. Her home became a place of torture now. Luckily, her two little angels, Clark and Shirley, could give her some comfort.

She arrived at Dream Garden some time later.

"Kids, I'm back!" Sheryl called out happily as she opened the door. After she changed to her slippers, Clark and Shirley came rushing towards her cheerfully.
