The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 135

Somehow she had a feeling that if Yvonne ever found out that she had feelings for Charles, she would have no chance at all.

"Is it strange for me to be here?" Yvonne sneered in a condescending manner this time. Those outsiders were worse than her. At least she could stay in Charles's house. Just as the saying goes, it is easy to fetch water when a river is near. She wouldn't let those women try to approach Charles.

"No…" Leila frowned. She didn't know why Yvonne disliked her so much, "Miss Ye, did I do something wrong? Why have you changed your attitude towards me?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, why are you here?" Yvonne didn't want to waste her time on Leila. She sneered, "What are you hiding behind you?"

"No… nothing." Leila was anxiously tongue-tied. She planned to visit Charles's home by surprise and didn't have any other purposes. She just wanted to see what kind of person Mrs. Lu was and remind her that Charles had a new secretary. But she didn't expect to see Yvonne here.

"Show me." Yvonne reached out to snatch the bag without hesitation. She knew Leila was hiding something. She could guess what was in Leila's mind, and she would never let her succeed.

Yvonne grabbed the bag from Leila and opened it. She froze completely at the sight of the men's suit. She took a closer look at it and realized that it was Charles's. A great rage aroused inside her. She asked loudly, "Leila, why do you have my brother-in-law's suit? What did you do to him?"

"I…" Leila was at a loss for words. Looking at Yvonne, who was burning with rage, she more or less realized why Yvonne had changed her attitude towards her. She had feelings for Charles too. Leila couldn't help but smile, coldly. She said deliberately in order to irritate her, "Mr. Lu left his suit at my home the night before yesterday. So I had it cleaned. Now I just want to return it back to him."

"Why did he go to your home?" Yvonne frowned tightly. Why? Why would Charles choose Leila rather than her? In what aspects was she any worse than Leila?

"The… the day before yesterday, we went to a dinner party. I had gotten a little drunk, so Mr. Lu drove me home, and I invited him in for a cup of tea. It's really nothing…" Leila explained immediately, "Miss Ye, don't overthink it. Mr. Lu loves Mrs. Lu very much. He will never do anything to hurt her. You don't need to be oversensitive."

"Did I say anything about that?" Yvonne shook Leila's hand off and said to her, "It's just a suit jacket. My brother-in-law will not mind it. You can take it back and throw it away if you like. You don't need to return it to him."

Leila soon grew flustered at Yvonne's words, "I can't do that. It's Mr. Lu's clothes. I must personally return it to him."

Leila reached out, trying to get the bag back from Yvonne. But Yvonne didn't let go and said, "It's just clothes anyway. I'll take it and return it to him for you. You can leave now."

When Autumn arrived at home, she found Leila and Yvonne quarrelling with each other at the gate of Dream Garden. She didn't expect to see Leila there. So she decided to find a place to hide herself, and watch them secretly.

"Give it back to me." Leila was angry and anxious. She didn't manage to meet Mrs. Lu, and she was being pestered by Yvonne.

Autumn was feeling thankful for Yvonne now. Otherwise, she would have ended up meeting with Leila there. She had been suspicious of Leila ever since she got the phone call from her that night. She was not happy about what Leila had done.

"Why are you so anxious?" Yvonne sneered, "Leila, don't think that I don't know what you are doing. Do you have feelings for my brother-in-law? Let me tell you this, don't even think about it."

"No, I don't." Leila was agitated.
