At first, Nancy panicked and was unable to answer. However, after analyzing the situation, she said coldly, "Miss Zhang, I am a servant of the Lu Family, not yours!"
"Nancy, am I not a member of the Lu Family?" Awakened by the sound coming from the first floor, Melissa went downstairs. She frowned when she heard Nancy arguing with Leila.
"My Lady, what can I do for you?" Lowering her head, Nancy addressed Melissa as soon as she saw her approach.
"Go back to your room!" Melissa looked at Nancy with resentment.
At that moment, Melissa really wanted to dismiss Nancy. In fact, she had already made that decision long ago. As soon as Sheryl and Charles' divorce was finally settled, she would do everything in her power to make Leila become her daughter-in-law and then fire Nancy.
"Yes, My Lady!" Helplessly, Nancy could only look at the now-sleeping Charles. Then she went back to her room.
After Nancy left, Melissa whispered, "Leila, what are you going to do?"
"Aunt Melissa, please, go back upstairs and rest. I will send Sheryl a message to ask her to come and then..." Pausing, Leila left the rest of her intention hanging. Then, moving closer to Melissa, she whispered something to her.
Afterwards, Leila lowered her head shyly. She wasn't sure how Melissa would feel. But, Melissa patted Leila's back with satisfaction.
"Leila, I believe you can do it. Everything is in your hands now." Smiling, Melissa left and went upstairs.
Left alone, Leila started to work on her plan. She walked to where Charles was and called out his name softly. Drunk and unconscious, Charles did not respond.
Leila sighed with relief. Seeing the cell phone in Charles' hand, she made her next move. She took the cell phone. Fixing her gaze on Charles, she waited to see if he would wake up. When he did not stir, she sent Sheryl a message using his cell phone.
For the entire night, Leila didn't do anything but think about how Sheryl would catch them when she slept with Charles. The last time she planned this kind of move, Sheryl just saw Leila and Charles sharing the same bed. This time, what she wanted was for Sheryl to catch them in the act. So the message for Sheryl to come here would be very important.
Of course, the whole night was long enough for Leila to act on her plan.
Reading the words "successfully sent" on the cell phone, Leila took a deep breath. Everything was prepared. All she needed to do was wait for Sheryl's arrival.
Leila knew it would take Sheryl about an hour to reach Dream Garden. So, for the duration of the wait, she needed to make Charles do something with her. She wanted to make sure that she would end up as Charles' woman.
Even in his sleep, Charles was handsome. Leila had been crazy for his attractive features for a long time now. She fell in love with him the first time she saw him.
In Sheryl's residence...
Preparing to go to bed, Sheryl heard her cell phone beep. She didn't want to read messages anymore. But for no reason, she still picked the cell phone up and opened the message.
Reading the message made her restless.
It was from Charles, and it was quite long. After reading it, Sheryl became lost in her thoughts. Not long after, she got up, put on her clothes, and then headed to Dream Garden.
