The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 88

Wendy frowned. She said no such thing. She looked questioningly at Yvonne who was beside her. Yvonne burst with anger and shame as she was caught lying. She pointed a finger at Autumn, "Autumn Ye, how dare you? I said 'Tell Charles to come alone'. But what did you do? Why did you go to the restaurant with Charles? By the way, speaking of the dinner, Charles only took one bite of the beefsteak and left me all alone. How can you ask me to keep my promise? You are dreaming?"

Autumn snapped back, "Yvonne Gu, if I didn't come, you wouldn't even get to have dinner with him. Besides, even though I tagged along, I didn't even sit at the same table with you and your beloved Charles. You are not attractive enough to keep his attention. Why put the blame on me?"

"You..." Autumn's unreserved revelation of what happened humiliated Yvonne. Yvonne yelled, "I don't care! if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been humiliated like that. If it weren't for you, Charles would have already fallen in love with me."

Autumn sneered, "Yvonne Gu, you always put the blame on others? Why don't you reflect on your own actions? Stop putting it on me."

"Enough!" Simon, who had been silent all this time, interrupted Autumn, "Autumn, I know you have been wronged deeply, getting married to Charles like that. Now that the crisis at my company has passed we'd better get everything back on track. After all, Charles really wanted to marry Yvonne first. Now Yvonne has changed her mind and wants to be Charles's wife. You are Yvonne's elder sister. You should be helping her instead of hurting her."

Autumn gave a scornful smile and thought to herself, 'What a ridiculous family! When Yvonne fled from the wedding, they forced me to marry Charles. Now they want me to give it all up because Yvonne changed her mind?'

"Uncle Simon, you are right. As the elder sister, I should help my younger sister." Autumn stressed the word "help" as she sneered and continued, "How about this? I call Charles now and tell him I am Autumn Ye. I was forced to get married to him. Now the real Yvonne Gu regrets having fled from their wedding and now wants to be his wife. What do you think of that?"

"You..." Simon pointed exasperatedly at Autumn. Autumn had always been weak. Why was she behaving so aggressively today?

It was no surprise that Autumn had become so aggressive. She had been fooled by Wendy and Yvonne so many times. They even threatened Autumn with her grandma again and again. Yvonne always forced Autumn to pair herself with Charles. Autumn was finally fed up.

"Enough! Stop arguing!" Wendy said coldly. She had a mind of her own and had defeated countless ladies to be Simon's wife. She didn't know why her daughter Yvonne was so brainless.

Anyway, Yvonne was still Wendy's loving daughter.

Wendy stared at Autumn and said, "Stop mocking Simon and Yvonne! Let's make a deal. If you help Yvonne win Charles's love, you'll get a healthy grandma back. Does that sound good for you?"

"I won't do anything for you anymore." Autumn answered blatantly, "Wendy Ye, don't use my grandma to threaten me ever again. From now on, as long as I don't see my grandma, I will never do anything for you."

Yvonne and Simon's faces darkened. If Autumn refused to help them in the future, what should they do?

"Autumn Ye, how dare you?" Yvonne spluttered.

"You can have a try, " Autumn sneered, "If I don't see my grandma, I wouldn't do anything for you. I might even let something slip in a moment of weakness one day. Don't blame me for that."

Wendy cast a stern glance at Autumn, "What a disrespectful daughter you are! Shame on you!"

"I have become what you made me." Autumn sneered, "After all, like mother, like daughter."
