The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 928

"But I would like to talk about the worst situation first," Charles said with a sarcastic smile. He looked at George and continued in an impassive voice, "This time I let her go for your sake, Mr. Han. But if she dares to do harm to Sheryl again, don't blame me for being ruthless and tough. I won't allow her to do something to harm Sher again."

"Mr. Lu, I promise you. She won't harm your wife again," George promised Charles in a firm voice.

"All right." Charles nodded. George turned to leave with Holley. "So... can we leave now?"

"Do as you please," Charles answered. George walked over to Holley. "Leave with me now," he ordered her, his facial expression cold.

Holley reluctantly followed George, viciously glaring at Charles as they left.

After they left, other models there also started to leave. One of them, Coral, saw that she wasn't held accountable, so she hurried out.

Having seen Holley be released so easily, Cary frowned, his eyebrows furrowing into a knot. "Are you going to let her go that easily?" he asked in disbelief.

"Definitely not," Charles said immediately with a sardonic smile. "Holley has harmed Sheryl big time. How could I just discharge her so easily?" Charles added.

"So what do you want to do?" Cary knew that Charles had a plan, but he didn't know what that plan was.

"They still hold the contract that Sheryl signed. If we push them too hard, it's bad for both parties. I let Holley go just to free Sher from that contract. Without that contract, isn't it easier for us to teach Holley a hard lesson?" Charles turned to Cary. Watching Holley leave, he felt something familiar about her. When her figure receded further into the distance, he couldn't help but wonder if they had met before.

"Did Holley know Sheryl before?" Cary asked in puzzlement. "Judging from what she has done to Sheryl, I always think that she hates Sheryl. It isn't likely to be as simple as what she said just now," Cary added.

"I think so too," Charles said and nodded his head in agreement. Then he squinted again, continuing, "I don't know when Sheryl offended her so that she hates Sheryl so much."

"Ah, don't think about it anymore," Charles said, waving his hand as to wave away all thoughts about Shirley and Holley. Then he changed the topic. "I will have someone check Holley. We need to know her story and her circumstance, and only when we do, we'll know why."

Cary then followed Charles to the lift gate. Confused, Charles asked, "Are you not leaving now?"

"Leave? To where?" Cary asked, confused by Charles' question.

Charles immediately replied, "It's so late. Don't you leave for your home to rest?"

Cary was taken aback by his answer. He was too shocked and didn't know what to say. Seeing Charles' vacant face, he frowned and yelled at him, "Man, the room which your wife is staying at is mine. Where do you want me to go?"

"Oh, I forgot. Sorry. I'm so sorry," Charles smiled sheepishly as Cary knocked sense into him.

"Now I know what kind of person you are. You said that I would be rewarded for my help, but then you go and forget about my help a mere few minutes later. Now I'm starting to wonder whether I will get my reward or not," Cary said with exaggerated sadness.

"Fine, fine. It's my fault. I truly forgot. I'm so sorry," Charles said, embarrassed at how oblivious and forgetful he was. Then Charles smiled wide. "Please leave two houses for me. I will buy them for my son and daughter."

"Really? You must keep your word," Cary said, grinning as he heard Charles' words.

Charles also smiled. When they arrived at the room, Sheryl was lying on the bed with her head against the bedhead. Susan was dabbing Sheryl with a wet towel and asking her in a worried voice, "Sher, how do you feel? Are you still uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine," Sheryl said weakly, shaking her head slightly in answer. "Don't worry. I will be fine after the medicine works," Sheryl added, reassuring Susan.
