The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 419

Autumn explained to Nancy, "I don't know what happened between you and you son, but you are a member of Lu family. So if you are in trouble, remember to seek Charles' help. I believe he will give you a helping hand without any hesitation."

Autumn thought it was Nancy's status of housemaid that impacted Nancy's relationship with her son after a long separation.

"You..." Nancy trailed. She was overwhelmed with remorse and regret for her crime, because especially, Autumn gave her the red envelope to relieve her trouble at the Eve.

"Your kindness is too big for me to accept!" Nancy was shameful, "I remember my not having made it easy for you when you married into Lu family. You have every reason to hate me instead!"

"Your concern is absolutely unnecessary!" Autumn looked at Nancy in bewilderment. "You deserve my support, as you are a devoted member of this family. Be sure to ask for our supports in case of any trouble!"

Meanwhile, Abby's arrival was announced. Nancy promptly opened the door for her without wasting a moment.

Abby suspected Nancy of drugging Autumn and escorted Autumn back to the bedroom and warned her, "Autumn, you better keep Nancy at a distance."

"May I ask the reason?" Autumn was perplexed and said, "I was just chatting with her. I think there is no harm in doing so."

"Please pay heed to my advice. Nancy may be a suspect, " Abby spoke in anger.

"It is not possible!" Autumn smiled and explained it to Abby, "Nancy has devoted herself to Lu family for so many years. I find it impossible to believe that she drugged me. If Charles heard what you just said, he would become offended."

"Autumn, you are too kind!" Abby sighed. "Drop the matter. Come, let's enjoy the meal."

Abby feared Autumn would be hurt by someone with ulterior motives, as Autumn expected nothing but good from others.

Charles occupied himself with public duty, when David entered his office. "Mr. Lu, I do not see the advantage of your absence in so many businesses."

"I have to remain absent from the office due to the present instance." Autumn's poor condition, at that moment, affected Charles deeply. Charles spoke to David while packing his documents, "You have to take care to maintain our company's day to day operation. You need to bring some important documents to Dream Garden for my signature. I will come back when Autumn is better."

"I know what to do." David nodded and managed to ask Charles, "Mr. Lu, may I... take the liberty to ask...."

Charles guessed what was in David' mind and replied, "I have dismissed Leila to put an end to the rumors and avoid Autumn's unnecessary suspicions."

Charles rose from his chair and continued, "You and Alice have to survive this layoff period till the time someone else is appointed for the post. If Leila comes to make trouble again, you should be able to handle it."

"It is my duty." David escorted off Charles. Charles arrived home shortly after Abby left. Nancy gazed at Charles in the living room. Assuming that Nancy wanted to speak to him, Charles asked, "Nancy, do you have something to tell me?" Nancy was pacing forth and back, looking worried.
