The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1487

Sheryl replied without looking back, "I won't be able to eat with some people." She walked out.

She got what she had wanted; she didn't want to stay any longer than necessary.

From what had happened, Sheryl could clearly see that Leila feared Holley for some reason, and Holley couldn't dare offend her because of her business with Charles' company.

But why was Leila afraid of Holley? Was it because she had to throw herself into Holley's lap after she had been kicked out of the Lu Family?

But Holley was an atrociously ambitious woman. Why would she take in a useless woman like Leila? Did Holley want to use her to accomplish some dirty plan?

What was their agenda?

All those questions churned inside Sheryl's mind. She couldn't figure out even as she walked back to her private dining room.

When Sheryl finally left, Leila let her anger out. She kicked the leg of the table and let out a painful scream. Holley remained calm.

"Why did you stop me? Why didn't you let me tear that woman's mouth to pieces? You heard all the bullshit she said!" Leila swore, her eyes glowering.

Holley slowly put a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed on it. She said, "What do you know about Sheryl? I can't go against her openly. It's not the right time yet."

"Why not? Don't tell me you're afraid of her!" Leila snorted.

"Of course not. But you should think before you jump. She is Charles' wife. If you fight her in public, would Charles not intervene in? And I am right here with you. Even if I did nothing wrong, I would still be treated as your accomplice. If Charles launches an attack, his first target would be me. Even though you don't care for my well-being, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't bring me harm."

Leila listened to her reasoning.

Holley was a scheming woman. No wonder she could suppress her temper even while she was being mocked by Sheryl.

Leila restrained herself and decided to be nicer to Holley because she knew that she would need Holley's help in the future.

When Sheryl returned to the private dining room, Isla and the other two were eating in full swing.

"Sheryl, is everything okay? What took you so long?" Isla asked as she chewed on her food. Since her mouth was full, her words were not at all clear.

"Sheryl, come sit here," Cassie said, pointing to the seat beside her.

Sheryl had lost her appetite, but when she saw the three of them eating happily, she didn't feel like spoiling the good atmosphere. So, she sat down to eat.

"Sheryl, try this mushroom. It's really fresh," Nick said, handing a spoonful to Sheryl.

When Sheryl saw the boiled mushrooms in the spoon, she couldn't help smiling and extended her bowl to take the mushrooms. "Thank you. I'll take some."

Isla, who was sitting next to Nick, felt jealous and shouted, "Hey! Don't you see that there is a patient right next to you? Why don't you take care of me first? Don't you know how much I care about you all the time?"

Isla's words made Nick flush with embarrassment. Cassie chuckled because she seldom saw Nick being snubbed so openly by someone. Only Isla could do that to him.
