The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 805

"I'm fine," Sheryl said in a low voice. She shook her head slightly. She and Charles looked into each other's eyes. Although they didn't exhibit any intimate gestures, their affinity for each other was very apparent by the look in their eyes.

Upon seeing this, Anthony felt very jealous.

He interrupted the peaceful mood and said to Charles, "You have no rights to decide when I should leave. Who do you think you are?"

"Anthony, Sher is my woman. Maybe she doesn't know much about business but I do." Charles smirked coldly and continued, "Anthony, your business must not have been completely settled in Y City even though you have transferred your main business here. So three months is more than enough time for you to deal with all the matters in your company, and your own relationship before you leave. You should be grateful for my merciful decision rather than stare at me with angry eyes. It only proves you are an ungrateful man."

Charles looked towards the gate as he said this. Sheryl and Anthony followed his gaze and saw Sue standing at the gate, dumbfounded.

Anthony's face went pale at the shock of seeing Sue. He turned to Charles and said, "It's my own business. You don't have to mind it."

"Sure, I guess I don't." Charles said with a smile, "I wouldn't mind your business even if you asked me to do so. I just want to protect Sher from being harassed by you any longer. You have caused so much trouble in her life already and I will not be in a very forgiving mood if you continue to try to meet her again. I don't know what terrible things I will do if I feel like you didn't heed my warning.

Maybe I will release all the anger and rage I feel about you all at one time. I don't think you can handle it." His voice was cold. Anthony could feel the seriousness of Charles' threat from the tone in his voice.

Anthony had started his business later than Charles, so he knew that if it had to come down to a competition on the business level, he couldn't win. However, he wasn't willing to give up so easily.

"What? Do you have any problem with that?" Charles asked with a victorious tone.

"Fine, if that is what you require, I guess I must be inclined to agree." Anthony sneered and turned to Sheryl. "Don't forget what you promised me," he said.

"Don't worry. I always keep my word, unlike you," Sheryl said in a cold voice.

"Okay, let's consider it a deal." Anthony smiled coldly and was about to leave. "Hold on! One more thing before you go," Charles called out to him abruptly.

"What else do you want to say?" Anthony asked impatiently, turning his head back to face Charles.

Charles glimpsed at Anthony and said, "You also cannot make any attempt to be in Sheryl's presence in those three months, otherwise..."

"Charles Lu, now you're going too far!" Anthony was annoyed as he heard Charles' new requirement. "Who do you think you are? You have no rights to get involved in the matters between Sheryl and me," he screamed at Charles.

"Charles is right." Sheryl said in a cold tone, "I also feel the same way. I know you need some time before leaving this city, but I don't want to see you or... anyone of your family members. Otherwise, I will break my promise without hesitation."

She looked at Anthony and continued, "The day you leave will be the time your father can get his job back. I promise."

"Sher, are you insane?" Anthony looked at Sheryl with pain and heartbreak in his eyes. "Why can't you see how devious the man beside you is? How can you really be on his side? No good can come to you as long as you stand by him. He will be your undoing."

Sheryl felt discontented with Anthony's words so she argued, "I know him better than you. But I feel so unfortunate to have seen your true colors so late. You don't have to worry about me because I'm not stupid. Charles is my children's father and I believe he will never hurt me."

She glanced at Anthony and said impatiently, "Just leave. If there is nothing more to be done here, I should go now."
