The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1598

Sheryl, however, seemed completely unperturbed by the news. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have no idea. But I'd guess that either Leila or Ferry is behind all of this!"

Leila and Ferry were the first people that Sheryl could think of because they were the ones pushing for Sheryl and Charles' divorce.

The thought filled Sheryl with an almost unbearable sorrow.

Judging by her silence, Isla concluded that Sheryl wasn't in high spirits. She wanted to comfort her but she couldn't think of what to do or say. The only thing Isla could do now was sit next to her quietly and keep her company.

After a while, Sheryl said, "All right, time to get back to work, Isla. I'm okay."

Sheryl urged Isla to leave her office. Although Isla was reluctant, she decided to leave Sheryl alone since there wasn't much else she could do to improve the situation.

Meanwhile, at the Shining Company

Charles was going through a stack of files in the CEO's office. Suddenly, his assistant knocked on his door and walked in right after.

Charles didn't hide his displeasure at being interrupted. He stared balefully at the assistant, wondering what had happened. However, even though the assistant opened his mouth a few times, nothing came out of it. It was clear from his hesitation that he was struggling to find the words to express himself. Having lost his patience, Charles raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Charles' cold voice sent shivers down the assistant's spine. He quickly scampered towards Charles' desk and handed him his iPad, and his hand shook with every breath that he took.

"Mr. Lu, here is the latest news on Mrs. Lu. Please, take a look…" The assistant didn't dare to mention anything else. He had already read the news and he could imagine how furious Charles would be when he saw those pictures.

Charles furrowed his eyebrows and glared sharply at the assistant before he took the iPad from him. The first thing he saw was the title of the video clip.

'Sheryl seeing her new lover at night?' The mere thought of a "new lover" drove Charles up the wall.

'No wonder you're that desperate to get a divorce, Sheryl. I know the reason now. You're in love with another man!' Charles finally got his answer as to why Sheryl was being so insistent.

In a fit of rage, Charles threw the iPad away. The assistant quietly picked up his iPad and walked out of the office. He was smart enough to leave before further raising the ire of his boss. All things considered, the last thing that he would want was Charles venting his anger out on him.

Charles was the only person in the office now.

The only thoughts swimming in Charles' mind at the moment were of Sheryl and her new lover, Lewis. He had seen them together before when he was in the shopping mall. Although Charles couldn't clearly see who the man was back then, he was now convinced that the man had been Lewis.

'Sheryl, is this why you want to divorce me?'

Charles pondered to himself. He was utterly heartbroken. He had never expected that Sheryl would do such a cruel thing to him. All that for another man!

Charles took out his phone and called Sheryl, while the toxicity of his anger and sadness grew to fearsome heights. He wanted an explanation and he wanted to hear it from Sheryl in person. Deep down, he still hoped that the news wasn't true and that it was just some fake news to catch the public's attention so that the newspaper could sell more and make money.

Sheryl was lost in thought, thinking about the pictures and the rumors that came with them. The sudden vibration of her phone caught her attention. She stared at the screen and let the phone continue ringing. She was hesitant to answer this call.

Sheryl was certain that Charles had seen the video and that this was exactly why he was now calling her.

Charles called Sheryl's phone a few more times but got no response. After his patience had worn thin, he decided to drive over to the Cloud Advertising Company and confront Sheryl face-to-face.

Soon, Charles' car stopped right in front of the Cloud Advertising Company.

Isla saw Charles getting out of his car and striding towards Sheryl's office. She knew that Sheryl had a lot on her plate right now and the last thing that she needed was a surprise visit from Charles, so she stepped into his way.
