The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 712

She had been giving Sheryl hard times, yet Sheryl had always endured everything with a smile and dealt with her patiently. She was a tough woman so she can bear any hardships. No wonder Anthony was so crazy about her.

Thus, Laura felt that since Sheryl was very tactful, she would be a very big challenge for her.

Meanwhile, Charles had also arrived at the restaurant with Judith. As they entered, he caught sight of Sheryl. Since he was afraid that Sheryl might see him, he did his best to hide himself.

Charles observed Sheryl very well. When he saw which private room she went in, he immediately cancelled the private room that Judith reserved and requested to have a table along the lobby which was opposite to Sheryl's private room.

This way, he could easily know what was happening in there.

"Charles, try these braised shrimps. They're really good," Judith urged him. She shelled some shrimps and put them into his bowl. Then she started to complain, "Why did you have to cancel the room I reserved for us and exchanged it for this table? We can't even have a good talk in this open space."

Charles just frowned. He put the bowl of shelled shrimps away and just ignored Judith.

However, Judith was not affected by his rudeness at all. She just didn't mind him and continued, "Actually, there is an important reason why I invited you for a dinner tonight. I talked to my dad and we both agreed that it's best to hold our engagement party during the Mid-Autumn Festival next month. It's perfect because it's also a Sunday. I also want to have it here in this restaurant. Hong Fu Restaurant has been operating for decades now and has earned a very good reputation." "By the way, I need the list of your guests so dad and I can prepare the invitations," she added.

"What?" Charles suddenly exclaimed. Finally, Judith had said something that could make him react. "What did you say?" he repeated.

"Why? What's the problem?" Seeing his look turn stern, Judith got lost at once. "We'll get engaged anyway. It won't hurt if we make it earlier, right?" she said. "Alright, it's our fault to pick the date without consulting to you but..." Judith looked at him in the eyes. Then she continued, "I only want our special day to be perfect. I hope you understand."

"Do you have delusional disorder?" Charles sneered. "When did I tell you that we will get engaged?

People are sometimes really self-centered and imaginative."

"Charles, what's the matter with you?" Judith asked in puzzlement. Charles' behavior was confusing her. She looked into his face and asked, "We've already settled everything. Why would you..."

"What made you think that we've already settled everything?" Charles interrupted her. He smiled sarcastically and added, "You are truly like your father. You are both presumptuous."

"So you mean, this is not yet settled?" Judith's face got pale. She had loved Charles all her life and marrying him had always been her dream. She couldn't believe that Charles didn't take their engagement seriously. She looked at him again and said, "When you mentioned that you were going to acquire Eagle Group, Dad promised that he will transfer his shares to me as soon as we get married. Then I will be the biggest shareholder which is also beneficial to you. You agreed to it, didn't you?"

"Who said I agreed?" Again, he sneered. He actually didn't take their so-called "beneficial conditions" seriously. He didn't even respond to them at all. But the father and daughter took him wrong and were like crazy people who went around to announce their soon-to-be engagement. Charles had no choice but to do something to make them stop.

He gave her a cold glance. Then he said, "The truth is, Archer was the biggest shareholder. I said 'was' because currently, he is not the biggest shareholder anymore." "What do you mean?"
