The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 425

Edward sighed and spoke to Chris, "I have been trying to put an end to my failed marriage lawfully all this time, but I have not been able to reason it out with Rachel. Now, I am left bewildered."

"I suppose Rachel is trying to hide away just to avoid public pressure." Chris sneered. Because of her scandal, Rachel's career in the show business was completely shattered. No company was ready to invest on her. She also lost the faith of her followers.

Rachel was, at that moment, virtually blacklisted by everyone.

"Now I have no desire other than getting a quick divorce to just get rid of her once and for all." Edward heaved a sigh.

"Nancy." Charles handed over a pack of medicine to Nancy and said, "Please decoct this medicine. Autumn should take this on a daily basis."

"Okay, I do it right away." Nancy, inwardly pleased, took the pack of medicine to the kitchen, paying no attention to the glimmer of hatred that lurked in Charles' eyes.

Nancy was somewhat relieved to be asked to boil medicine for Autumn. It came to her as a chance to win over Charles' confidence once again.

The boiling dregs diverted Nancy's thoughts to the mystery man's order. 'It is a rare chance to save my son, ' Nancy thought to herself.

Nancy drew the pack of powder from her pocket, momentarily caught between the thought of harming Autumn's baby and losing Brent.

'But.. is it worthwhile to harm Autumn and her baby for the sake of my unworthy son?' Nancy thought.

Nancy's honor ultimately triumphed over her personal sentiment.

As a result, Nancy dumped the pack of powder.

Nancy was, at that moment, overcome with guilt over Brent, heaving a sigh.

"Why don't you continue with your evil motive?" Charles' voice came like a thunderbolt right from behind Nancy. It made her completely taken aback so much that she was almost losing her grip on the pot.

"Oh.. Charles!" "Oh! Charles." Nancy looked at Charles in severe fear and shock but tried to put a calm expression. "I can not make sense of what you just said."

Nancy avoided the eye contact, looking very embarrassed in front of Charles.

"Nancy, I and Gary have placed our complete trust on you for so many years. How could you even think of harming Autumn. And I expected you to admit your crime of drugging Autumn in one of these days. But you have let me down." Charles looked at Nanny in contempt.

Her head lowered, Nancy was ashamed of facing Charles. But for her love and concern for Brent, Nancy would have disclosed the whole crime to Charles.

"Charles..." Nancy forced a smile and said, "It is natural that the suspicion will fall on me..."

"Why did you lose the perfect opportunity to drug Autumn again?" Charles, seeing Nancy dump the pack of powder, was somewhat relieved. Hence he came to ask Nancy the reason behind her misconduct.
