The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1807

Leila seemed unnerved by Sheryl's reaction. Furiously, she came closer and tried to shake off her hand. In a voice filled with anger, she asked, "What? Do you think you can get yourself out of this problem if you don't listen to me? Do you think it will change the fact that Charles was pushed over by you?"

Sheryl was in tears and wasn't in a position to say anything. She had a serious headache, so nothing that Leila said made sense to her. Her mind was still trying to understand what had happened. She couldn't believe that Charles had fallen into the water. It was like a nightmare that wouldn't leave her.

Leila had never seen Sheryl look so unhappy. Secretly, she took pleasure in her distress. Looking around, Leila noticed that the people around were pointing their fingers at them and commenting. Smartly, she devised a plan. Using her energy, she faked Sheryl pushing at her as well.

It was a deceptive movement, but nobody could make it out. They all thought Sheryl had pushed Leila.

"Ah..." Leila screamed to make it more dramatic. Then she fell to the deck. Earlier, she had wrenched her ankle, and now she couldn't even stand up.

In Fabulous Hotel, Nick was busily trying to sort out the situation.

He had checked the security video, so he knew what exactly had happened. After figuring it out, he had made several phone calls. In spite of this, he couldn't understand the motive behind this woman's act. 'What did I ever do to her?' he thought helplessly. He had no recollection of ever offending her.

Nick finally contented himself by assuming he was just running out of luck. Perhaps, an unfamiliar woman had decided to wreck his life, for no obvious reason. But now, this had brought a fight between him and Cassie. To make things worse, he didn't even know where his girlfriend was.

While thinking, he got angrier. If he had the slightest idea about where that woman was, he would have taught her a lesson.

After handling everything, Nick texted Cassie and hoped that she would see it as soon as she woke up.

"Honey, I have found out everything. That woman framed me, and I have evidence that will prove I am not guilty. You have to believe that nothing happened between me and her."

Nick suddenly thought of Isla's words and called Sheryl after he went back home.

He called several times, but Sheryl didn't pick up the phone.

Normally, Sheryl would instantly answer his calls. Hence, this made Nick suspicious. He wondered if there was something wrong. He knew that Sheryl had gone to the party, and it wasn't yet time for it to be over. 'But even then, she would pick up my call. There is no way she wouldn't have heard it. I have called her a dozen times, ' he thought with a bit of anxiety.

This thought increased his worry. He looked at his cellphone for a while, and then he called Isla.

Isla was still waiting for Sheryl to call her back, and she was frightened when her phone rang. Fortunately, she grabbed the cellphone tightly. Otherwise, it would have fallen on the floor.

"Nick, what's going on?" Isla had thought it was a call from Sheryl. But she was relieved to see it was from Nick.

"Isla, don't worry about me. I can handle it. But there seems to be something wrong with Sher." Nick anxiously told Isla what he had guessed. He realized keeping his doubts to himself wouldn't help.

"What do you mean, Nick?" Isla's earlier look of relief quickly turned into concern. Her mind tried to come up with all the possible scenarios.

Since Isla didn't respond, Nick asked cautiously, "Isla, do you know something?"

Isla reacted soon after Nick questioned her. "Nick, Just tell me what happened."

"Isla, I have called Sher several times, but she didn't pick it up even once. This is very unlike her. Now I am wondering if she is in some sort of trouble. Do you have any idea what she is doing in Malaysia?"

Nick was aware that Sheryl and Charles' relationship was not going smoothly of late. Her sudden visit abroad had left him surprised. And with the current turn of events, his shock was intensified.

"Nick, book a plane ticket to Malaysia right now. I will send you the address. You need to go there as soon as possible." Isla was worried that Sheryl was being bullied by Leila, so somebody reliable had to be there at any cost.
