The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 491

Autumn just hold on to that thought! "Wait!" Leila called out to Autumn anxiously. She knew that if Autumn went back and confronted Charles about it, all her lies would be unveiled.

"While you were in the hospital, Charles conducted your grandma's funeral. Why didn't he tell you? Don't you realize anything different?" she asked aggressively, trying desperately to drive a wedge between Autumn and Charles.

"He kept the truth from you because he's afraid something might happen to the babies. He'll break up with you any minute after you give birth. Don't you see it clearly?" The truth was that Autumn had already lost her calm the moment she heard about Emily's death. She was just holding herself together during the argument with Leila.

Unwilling to stay a moment longer and listen to her harp on, Autumn flurried out of the cafe. At the same time, Leila was scared out of her wits just thinking about what Autumn was going to do.

She had been mentally calculating about it and realized she could not fall short at the eleventh hour.

She called Ferry in a hurry. It was all Ferry's idea to keep her in hiding all these days, and of course it was also his job to fix the problem she now encountered.

The call was soon went through and she heard Ferry's voice from the other side,"How's it going?"

"Ferry, you told me the plan was full proof and it was going to work out this time," said Leila anxiously. "But the truth is that Autumn didn't have the slightest emotional reaction to what I just told her. Now she is going to confront Charles. If they really meet, won't all the work and effort I've invested all go down the drain?" she questioned Ferry sternly.

"What's the rush? Let things unfold the way they have to and then we will decide what to do." A snarl came over the phone from Ferry. "You've done what you're supposed to do. Now go and wait where I told you. I'll handle the rest."

"But..." Leila had more to say, but Ferry had already ended the call.

Once Autumn came out of the shop, she felt heavy tension and sharp pains building in her abdomen. Despite the pain, she looked around for Brent for a long time.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Lu?" Seeing her terribly pale face, Brent hurried to help her into the car. "What happened?" he asked sincerely with concern.

"Nothing, everything is fine," Autumn answered weakly, covering her abdomen with her hands. "Brent, just take me straight to Shining Company," she added.

She was eager to see Charles and figured out if what Leila said was true. On the way, Brent's cell phone rang all of a sudden. At the sight of the caller ID, Brent grew nervous. He hesitated and let it ring for a long time, but finally he received the call.

"What do you want from me?" Brent screeched in a low voice, as his face turned pale.

Autumn was in the back seat, holding her belly. Brent kept an eye on her as he answered the phone and spoke in hushed tones. Since it was Ferry who called him, he could never let Autumn find out.

Ferry was smuggled back in the city the other day. In case Andy found out about his return, he never went to the hotel.

"Brent, I've contacted you twice, and I think I've made myself quite clear." Ferry's voice drifted into Brent's ear over the phone, making Brent scared. "You took my money. Now it's time for you to do the work you signed up for," he demanded.
