The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1943

Charles had seen a lot, but upon seeing this, an acid taste rose up in his throat that was bitter to the tongue.

Suddenly, Charles' phone rang.

"President Lu, Leila has committed suicide."

"Yes, I know."

Charles hung up the call and dialed another number. Before leaving the hospital, he made some other arrangements first.

In the Cloud Advertising Company

"Phoebe, what did you just say? I beg your pardon?!" Isla asked Phoebe in disbelief.

Isla had been quite busy with work these past few days, and she hadn't been able to catch up with the news. She didn't know Ferry was in jail until she checked the news that morning.

Frankly, she was relieved when she saw the news. Ferry was the one who had threatened Sheryl into getting a divorce from Charles. Sheryl's life wouldn't be miserable if it weren't for Ferry. Now that he was locked up in jail, no one was going to bother Sheryl anymore.

"I heard President Lu was behind Ferry being arrested. I asked Josef, and he told me about President Lu's scheme. Oh, and Leila committed suicide. She jumped from the hospital building's roof..." Phoebe said to Isla, who was visibly relieved and happy.

"Leila deserves that. She should've done that a long time ago. She should be thankful that no one had killed her yet," Isla snidely commented as she looked at Phoebe.

Phoebe and Isla exchanged glances before smiling at each other.

In the Dream Garden

Melissa restlessly sat on the sofa as she waited for news from Charles. She was quite worried as she didn't know what kind of tricks Leila had up her sleeve.

When the door opened, Melissa jumped up and rushed to the door. Upon seeing it was Nancy, she couldn't help but be a little frustrated. "Oh. You're back."

"Yes, Mrs. Lu. Are you okay?" Nancy asked, a bit embarrassed. She had no idea what was going on.

Melissa seemed a bit gentler and softer than she was before. She sighed before responding to Nancy. "I'm fine, Nancy. Thanks for asking. Thanks for all your hard work over these past few days. Charles told me everything..."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Lu. We're family after all. It was all just Leila's fault."

Nancy hadn't actually gotten fired as it was just part of Charles' plan. She had received a call from a servant in the Dream Garden to give her the green light that she could return to the Garden again.

"Yes, you're right. It was all Leila's fault. I wonder what's happening now." Even though Leila had done a lot of terrible things, Melissa couldn't help but still feel a bit attached to her. After all, they had spent so much time together.

Charles came back while Melissa and Nancy were talking.

"Charles, how did everything go?" Melissa asked anxiously.

Charles smiled at Melissa, took her hand, and walked her to the sofa as he spoke, "Mom, everything's fine. You don't need to worry. All you need to worry about is your health, so get a lot of rest. That's what's important right now."

"Really? You settled everything?" Melissa looked into Charles' eyes in an attempt to confirm that Charles was telling her the truth.

Charles smiled at Melissa again and looked into her eyes to reassure her.

Melissa was relieved upon seeing the look of determination on Charles' face.
