The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1811

Charles and Leila didn't return to the hotel for the entire night.

Melissa assumed this was a good thing. She couldn't fall back asleep, so she just decided to get up even though it was still so early in the morning.

After she had her breakfast, she returned to her room. She thought of calling Leila to ask how things went. Before she even took out her phone, someone suddenly knocked on her door.

'Who could be coming to my room so early in the morning?' she wondered as she walked to the door.

When she opened the door, she was surprised to find Leila.

'Why is she back at this time?'

"Leila?" Melissa said, puzzled. She looked at Leila from head to toe, wondering what was going on.

Suddenly, Leila's eyes turned red, and she burst into tears. Grief-stricken, Leila grabbed Melissa's arm and stuttered, "Aunt Melissa… there was an accident…"

"What happened?" Melissa suddenly became nervous. 'Where's Charles? Did something happen to him?' she thought to herself.

"Charles… Charles…" Leila couldn't even get a proper sentence out.

After pulling Leila into the room and closing the door, Melissa helped Leila sit on the couch. Then she asked worriedly, "Leila, stop crying first. Can you tell me what happened? Where's Charles? What happened to him?"

"Aunt Melissa, Sheryl pushed Charles into the ocean. The police were searching for him the whole night, but they still haven't found him. I didn't know what to do," Leila said tearfully, while her body was quivering.

"What did you say? Sheryl pushed Charles into the ocean?" Melissa gazed at Leila in terror.

Nodding, Leila continued, "Aunt Melissa, I saw it with my own two eyes. It was Sheryl who pushed Charles. I don't know why the police even let her go. Charles is still missing! I'm so worried!"

"We should go to the police station right now and find Charles." Melissa's only hope was the police. The most important thing they needed to do right now was find Charles.

Leila nodded. Along with Melissa, she headed to the police station again.

On their way, Melissa's mind was racing. 'How did this happen? I planned this so well. This was Charles and Leila's chance to get to know each other better. What the hell is Sheryl doing here?' she thought to herself.

"Why would Sheryl be there?" Melissa finally asked Leila.

Leila had no idea either. The moment she saw Sheryl on board, she thought, 'There's no way this is just a coincidence. What would she be doing here?'

Even though Leila hated Sheryl, Leila had still done her research on Sheryl when she first tried to get Charles. She knew for a fact that Sheryl didn't like parties, so she must have been at the party for another reason.

Leila's eyes were sharp as she thought of this. "Aunt Melissa," Leila said flatly. "I think Sheryl knew that I'm here. She purposely went there. I really doubt it was just a coincidence."

"Then how would Sheryl know?" Melissa had specifically told all the employees in the Shining Company not to tell Sheryl where they were. So where would Sheryl possibly get that information?
