The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1596

"Sheryl?" Melissa looked at Leila and asked. She looked at the cell phone in disbelief as her eyes widened in surprise.

A photo of Sheryl hugging a man inside a shopping mall was displayed on the screen.

"Did you see this happen in person?" Melissa raised her voice and asked Leila again, as she was unable to believe what she was seeing.

Leila nodded her head in affirmation and said, "Aunt Melissa, it's true. I can't believe Sheryl would do such a thing to shame the family. She's still married to Charles, but she's seeing another man too! Her behavior brings so much humiliation to Charles and the Lu family! What will people think of us?"

Leila was getting herself worked up and adding fuel to the fire.

Her reaction affected Melissa as well. She became furious and yelled, "Sheryl is such a whore! No wonder she wants to get a divorce. She is actually in love with another man!"

Leila had taken a lot of pictures and she showed them all to Melissa one by one.

The more pictures Melissa saw, the angrier she became. She was annoyed and asked Leila to take the cell phone away from her. She was too angry to even catch her breath.

"Aunt Melissa, there's no need to be angry over such a woman. It isn't worth it." With a concerned look, Leila patted Melissa's shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.

Melissa was still angry at what Sheryl had done, but she finally managed to compose herself in time.

"What exactly does Sheryl want to do? She is the one who brought up the idea of divorce. I bet that it's because of that man in the photo! Now, she's prolonging the situation just to step in your way. She must want our family's assets. I can't just let her win!" Melissa fumed, going straight to the point.

Leila wouldn't let Sheryl take away half of the family assets either. Lu family's fortune was supposed to be hers. How could she let Sheryl take all that from her?

"Aunt Melissa, I agree completely, but we don't have time to be angry. We need to come up with a solution." Leila just wished to make a huge scene out of this.

On her way back, she had grown even more determined to beat Sheryl and teach her a lesson.

She wanted to take everything Sheryl had taken from her, but she failed each time she tried. Now that such a good opportunity had presented itself to her, Leila needed to make good use of it.

She felt that she was blessed to be given such a chance and was confident she would succeed this time. She couldn't afford another failure.

"You're right, Leila. We should come up with a plan against her." Melissa stared at Leila blankly, hoping the latter could give her some advice.

Her mind was still muddled at the pictures. She couldn't think of anything because of the overwhelming feelings of rage and panic that flooded her.

Leila took out her cell phone again. She pointed her finger at the pictures and said to Melissa, "Aunt Melissa, we can make use of these pictures. We can easily defeat Sheryl with these as proof."

Melissa's eyes lit up at Leila's words. She looked at Leila with hope, waiting for her to explain further.

Leila smiled before she said, "We need to exaggerate the situation."

She drew closer to Melissa and whispered in her ear, clarifying her plan. Melissa's worried look gradually turned smug as she listened to Leila.

After Leila finished speaking, Melissa couldn't help but giggle and said, "That's brilliant, Leila. How would I live without you?"

Leila smiled at Melissa. She grabbed Melissa's hand and said, "Aunt Melissa, you're like a mother to me. Charles is the other one I love the most, so I won't let anything happen to you two."

"I feel so relieved that we can follow your plan, Leila. I can't wait to see Sheryl lose!" Melissa grinned from ear to ear as she thought about how aggravating the situation would be for Sheryl.
