The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2129

For a while, Melissa was upset. When she looked up, she saw Sheryl's face and quickly realized that she was overreacting.

"Sher, I know you've been nice to Charles these past few days. Tell me. Do you still love Charles? Do you still want to be with him?"

Sheryl found it strange that she didn't feel embarrassed that Melissa saw right through her. Instead, she felt relieved.

"I… As long as Charles wakes up, I'll listen to him," Sheryl said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Melissa stood up and hugged her in joy. "Good girl, good girl. I know you still care about him. You're a good daughter-in-law in the Lu Family," she praised.

"Don't cry." Melissa wiped away the tears on Sheryl's face and continued, "Let's stop crying and look at the bright side. Charles will wake up one day. We need to be happy when that happens. We need to be able to welcome him then. He can't see that we're having a rough time."

"Yes." Sheryl nodded with a faint smile on her face.

Melissa looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.

At a villa in the suburb

Vicky finally imploded. She didn't expect that the Shining Company would release to the press that Charles had gotten into a car accident.

They also announced that Charles was due to wake up soon.

No way!

If Charles woke up then everything she did would be for nothing. She would also be doomed. She would have no place to live, and no one would be willing to help her because they would all hate her.

She was already hated by everyone. If she didn't have plastic surgery, she would be shunned completely.

No! No! She couldn't live like that!

Trembling, Vicky dialed Rob's number.

Strangely, the phone was ringing, but no one was answering.

This had never happened before!

Vicky slumped back in her chair, her mind making up the worst possible scenarios.

Rob probably knew that Charles was going to wake up, which was why he wasn't answering her calls anymore.

She was just Rob's puppet. When she was useful, he would happily use her to his whim, but when she didn't have a use to him, he would completely ignore her.

A flash of evil intent shot through Vicky's eyes.

She didn't want to be just some useless puppet. She was going to do something to turn this situation around even if that meant dying. She needed to get what she had always wanted.

Vicky glanced at the phone on the ground. She knew that Rob could no longer be trusted, but it was not like she always trusted him in the first place. Rob was merely taking advantage of her, and she was also just using him back.

When Rob had locked her up in the basement, she had found out a couple of things about him.

Rob was not the big boss, even though he had quite a number of connections. It was said that his actual boss was in prison.

While Vicky didn't know who this person was exactly, she could only assume that he was someone powerful. All she knew was that she was definitely not going to get involved with someone like that, and it was not like he had anything to do with her in the first place.

Her only motivation right now was to get revenge for Bernard.

Charles and Sheryl were still alive, and they too were her enemies. It was Ferry who had caused Bernard's death, and she didn't know where he was yet, so Rob had ordered her to stick with Charles for now.
