The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 811

Andy gave a wry smile and continued, "If Ferry comes back, he might target Sheryl again. We have to stay vigilant and keep her protected. Unfortunately my people have lost track of him. We have no idea where he is or what he's planning."

Charles' face was somber as he smoked his cigarette in silence. He only spoke to Andy after it was finished. "Well, this sounds like a huge inconvenience."

He paused and continued, "On the positive side, if he tries to strike again, there'll be no escape for him this time. He caused so much trouble three years ago, hurting Sher so badly and tearing me away from her. I have a huge score to settle with him. No mercy for him, he's not getting away with it."

Even though Andy knew that Charles was a man of his words, and perfectly capable of making it happen, he still couldn't chase away the worry deep in his heart. After all, Ferry was now in the shadows and they were in plain sight, making them easy targets for him.

He looked at Charles and told him, "If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

"Of course," Charles replied with a nod. He looked inside the house, watching Sheryl chatting and joking with her family. The happiness on her face warmed his heart, but also brought a combination of guilt and concern. He couldn't let anything destroy her new-found happiness. He turned to Andy and said, "Andy, I don't want Sher to know about this. Would you mind keeping it secret for a while?"

"Don't worry. I'm not going to tell them," Andy agreed. "It's better if we're the only ones who know about this. I don't want them to worry, either."

Charles smiled with relief and went back in to join the family. He chatted with Sheryl for a while, acting as if nothing had happened. Then he got up and told her, "It's getting late. I hate to leave but I really should go home and get some rest. Don't forget about the new product launch tomorrow, Sher. Have a good rest and sleep in tomorrow morning. You don't need to be at the rehearsal. Just attend the show in the afternoon."

"Got it, boss." Sheryl smiled and nodded obediently. Then she walked Charles out and watched him leave. Afterwards she immediately retired to her room and went to bed.

She tossed and turned for a while, going over her plan again. As soon as the launch event ended, she was going to look for a suitable house to move into. She didn't feel comfortable staying at the Zhao family house.

Even though this was her own family who welcomed her with open arms, she still felt that it was a little inappropriate for her to be staying there.

After all, she was already married and had her own children. It wasn't proper for them to be staying there.

The new product launch took place at a hotel in downtown Y City. Sheryl had heard that Charles invited a well-known star as a special guest.

But when she caught sight of the star backstage, she was taken aback. 'Is that Roger?' she asked herself.

"Mrs. Lu?" In the past three years, Roger had put in a lot of hard work and effort, and it had all paid off. He was now an A-list celebrity and a popular household name.

His good looks and squeaky clean, scandal-free image had also helped a lot in his rise to becoming one of the most popular heartthrobs.

Roger might have played dirty at the beginning when he was just starting out, but he had never forgotten those who had helped him get there. When Charles asked him to attend the show, he immediately agreed without a second thought.

The reason was simple. He wanted to repay the favor that Sheryl had done for him all those years ago.

Much to his surprise, the woman presumed missing for the past three years was there in the flesh right before his eyes.
