The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 905

"Girl, this is none of your business. I suggest you steer clear of this," the fat woman snapped at Sheryl. She looked sore and intimidating as she charged ahead, fixing her gaze at Sue. She clenched her teeth and pointing her finger straight at Sue said, "We're looking for Sue, not you. Just move away."

Anthony heard this and hurried to turn to Sue and said, "Go upstairs now. Let me handle her."

"What happened?" Sue asked instinctively. She creased her brows as she tried to recognize the woman. She searched for all the people in her brain, but couldn't find a match. She had never seen this woman before. Why would she be here? What did she want from her?

"Who is she?" Sue asked again after she failed to receive a reply from Anthony. The vindictiveness in the woman's eyes was extremely unsettling. The woman looked at Sue as if she just wanted to burn her alive through her violent stares. Sue removed her eyes from her and turned to Anthony waiting for an answer from him.

"I have no idea," Anthony answered as he shook his head. "I feel there's going to be a trouble. Sue, go back to your room now. Promise me to stay there no matter what you hear."

"But…" Sue was still hesitant, as she wanted to figure out the reason behind the abrupt and unexpected visit of these people.

"Stop hesitating now," Anthony ordered as he pushed Sue gently. "Just go upstairs and stay there. Now! If not for yourself, we can't afford to cause our baby any harm."

Touching her own belly in a motherly manner, Sue finally decided to heed Anthony's advice. Sue turned homewards taking one last glance of the woman who still stared at her.

Invariably, at the moment, the only priority for both of them was the baby. Regardless of what was going to happen later, Sue had to protect the baby.

The moment the woman saw Sue move back into the house, she narrowed her eyes and yelled distorting her face, "Sue, stop! Pay me back the life of my daughter!"

"You are Doris' mother. Right?" Hearing her last few words, Sheryl had no more confusion about who the woman was. It was clear that she could not find Allen, who happened to be the main suspect in Doris' murder. Hence she had come to vent out her anger on Sue.

How ridiculous that was! What happened to her daughter had nothing to do with Sue. Sue was not even close to Doris. Why some people were just so absurd and refused to see the truth with their open eyes.

The mention of Doris' name in Sheryl's mouth, made the woman turn her blazing glance at Sheryl. "Who are you?" she asked in a croaked voice. Though she refused to answer Sheryl's question, her gestures proved that Sheryl had guessed it right.

"I am a friend of Sue. As for what happened to Doris… I really feel sorry about that." Throwing the woman a disdainful look, Sheryl tried to reason with her. "But Aunt, I think you should get one thing very clear. The person who killed, or at least who was suspected to have killed Doris, is Allen, not Sue. Don't you think you should look for the real murderer instead? Why are you here?"

"Girl, let me tell you. This is between me and Sue. It's none of your business," the woman claimed in a cold tone.

Sheryl did not expect her to understand or cooperate. She gave an unbothered smile and refuted, "Sue's business is my business." The woman looked muffled as Sheryl obstinately countered her.

After making sure Sue went into her room, Anthony walked out of the door and questioned with a fierce look, "What? You want a fight here? If you dare step inside this house, I will call the police to arrest you for trespassing. You can try if you don't believe me."
