The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 727

"Mr. Lu, what happened? Is everything all right?" asked David. The sound from the office had drawn David's attention. He rushed in to make sure Charles was alright.

After Archer made sure that Sheryl was okay, he was ready to leave with Judith. However, Charles stopped him.

"David, call the police right now," Charles said in a cold voice. He did not even trouble himself to raise his head and look at Archer.

The moment Sheryl had come back into his life, he had promised himself that from then on he would protect her forever. He would never let her suffer the slightest harm. Whoever dare to hurt her would pay the price. He would show them no mercy.

"Charles, don't go too far over this," said Archer angrily. When he heard Charles tell David to call the police, he turned his head suddenly and sharply. He spoke to Charles, "Isn't it enough that you make my daughter suffer like this? What else do you want to do with her?"

Charles raised his head and looked at him indifferently. He said, "Those who hurt Sheryl must pay the price. In fact, I wasn't going to hold you accountable for what happened. But now…"

He smiled coldly, and didn't finish what he was going to say next.

Judith couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She had loved him for so long, but this man didn't even want to look at her. What a loser in love she was!

After seeing how protective he was towards Sheryl, she finally realized that Charles had just been stringing her along from the beginning. He didn't like her at all!

She could see that he didn't show affection for anyone except Sheryl. His love for his sweetheart could be easily seen from his every act and move, even from his eyes. The more she realized that he didn't love her, the more miserable she felt.

Sheryl interceded with Charles for Judith, but Judith was not grateful for that. She sneered, "Don't pretend to be forgiving and generous. I don't need your sympathy."

'All right, ' thought Sheryl. She shut her mouth and watched Judith being taken away by the police.

After Judith was taken away, Charles gently raised Sheryl's face and examined it carefully. He knitted his brows tightly and was really angry that Judith had done such harm to her. Sheryl's neck was covered with bruises. He was very worried and asked, "Does it hurt? Would you like to go and see a doctor?"

"This is nothing. Don't worry about this," said Sheryl. She waved her hands and calmly assured him, "It's Okay. I am fine."

She remembered that Archer had mentioned many times about his association with Anthony, so asked Charles, "What does he have to do with Anthony?"

"Nothing," said Charles indifferently. He didn't want to talk about this with her. He didn't want to worry her about this. "You will not understand. You don't know enough about what's going on in the business world."

"Charles…" She frowned at him and asked, "Even though I don't understand much about doing business, I know what 'ganging up on you' and 'scheming against you' mean. Has Anthony done something wrong?"

"It's not a big deal," Charles stated in an understatement. He comforted her, "Anyway, it's all over. Don't think too much about it."

Charles had Alice pour a glass of juice for Sheryl. Alice came in and reminded Charles, "Mr. Lu, there are some guests waiting for you in the conference room."

"OK, I will see them," said Charles. He placed the glass on the desk in front of Sheryl and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Can you wait here for me for a few minutes? Then we can have dinner together."
