The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2029

"Are you hiding anything from me?" Charles looked at David and asked suspiciously, his eyebrows knitting together.

It took a moment for David to reply. And this intensified Charles' suspicions. Normally, David was very prompt with his answers.

Charles' earlier expression instantly changed to that of anger. His piercing eyes bore into David's face.

David had no other choice but to tell him the truth. He looked very hesitant, afraid that Charles would be angrier after knowing the truth.

"David, I am not going to ask you again. You have one last chance to explain it." Charles didn't open his eyes but released a strong aura of oppression, making it hard for David to catch his breath.

"Mr. Lu, I want to tell you the truth. However, I am afraid of your reaction. Can you promise me that you won't burst into anger?" David summoned his courage and intended to tell Charles the truth, seeing as he wanted to know it so badly.

"Skip this nonsense and get to the point!" Charles roared and finally opened his eyes.

"Something happened yesterday when the two kids were playing with Mrs. Lu in the fairground. After carrying out an investigation, I found out what the trouble was. It turned out that Clark pretended to be lost just so he could come to see you. This had Mrs. Lu worried all day long." David briefly described what had happened yesterday. Even though it didn't seem like a big deal, he was sure that Charles would be furious.

But to his surprise, Charles didn't say anything. He just sat there looking grim, seething with rage.

David didn't dare to talk. He just continued to drive quietly.

After a while, Charles let out a sigh and said, "Keep an eye on the kids and ensure they are safe."

"Mr. Lu, you can rest assured. Our men are very meticulous when it comes to their job. They are doing the best to protect your kids. Nothing can ever happen to them under their watch." David made a promise to Charles, hoping this would put his mind to rest.

"Okay, fine then."

After saying this, Charles closed his eyes and stopped talking.

At this time, Isla had just arrived at the bar. One of her men scurried forward and spoke in a flattering voice, "Boss, here is something that we found. Is this what you are looking for?"

For the past few days, he had been continuously looking over the surveillance video, hoping to find something useful. He had been so thorough in his job that his poor eyes would be harmed if he had to do it any longer.

In the beginning, he hadn't spotted anything unusual. But after seeing Vicky, he was overcome with a strange feeling.

People came to this place for entertainment. But this woman was in a formal suit, which made her stand out like a sore thumb.

And later, she was caught speaking to a man wearing sunglasses. They both seemed engulfed in a serious conversation. However, what they were talking about was a mystery to everyone.

He didn't know Vicky at all. But since something about her was off, he reported it to Isla.

When Isla saw the woman in the video, her expression instantly changed. She hadn't expected that it would be Vicky.

Though she barely knew Vicky, she was well aware that this was the woman who had shattered Sheryl's life.

Even from Vicky's body language, one could tell she was hiding a secret. 'This may be the video Charles is looking for, ' Isla thought.

"Inquire about this woman and get as much information as possible. I need to know everything. Also, make sure to ask the customers here if they happened to overhear any conversation. If luck is on our side, we may find something useful," Isla instructed, determined to figure out what Vicky was up to.

"Yes. Alan and I will start the work right away." The man went out of the bar after taking Isla's instructions and started to dig up all the information about Vicky.
