The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 943

Sheryl hesitated for a while, and then released her hands which held the glass of milk. At last, she said, "Susan had an accident."

"I know," Charles nodded. His voice indicated that he was not surprised. Since the first night when they came home from M City, Charles had his people keep tabs on Holley. He knew that she wouldn't give up since she had failed to teach Sheryl a lesson. So as soon as Susan got injured, he got word of it from one of his men.

But he chose not to say anything to Sheryl because he didn't know how to break it to her. He knew if Sheryl knew it, she would definitely blame herself.

"You knew?" Sheryl furrowed her brows as she asked in disbelief. Then she added, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Actually Sheryl knew the answer as soon as she asked. She knew Charles didn't tell her because he didn't want her to worry. She gave a wry smile and stated in a melancholy voice, "It's all my fault."

"Sher, don't think like that." Charles narrowed his brows as he saw the sad expression on Sheryl's face. She was always like that. If anything bad happened, she always thought it was her fault and she was the person who should be held accountable.

"Susan's fracture has nothing to do with you. That's all thanks to Holley," Charles replied with narrowed brows.

"But if it weren't for me, Holley wouldn't have done anything to her." She wore a distressed expression and stared at Charles. "You don't know. I visited Susan in the hospital today. She was on bed rest. But she still hid her injury from me because she was afraid that something bad would also happen to me," Sheryl added.

She gave a wry smile before she continued, "Before I came along, Holley had had some respect for Susan. But… what I brought to her is just so screwed up. Charles, I feel so guilty now."

Sheryl picked up the glass again and poured out her thoughts, "I hate to see Susan like this. What should I do now?"

"What do you want to do? No matter what, I got your back." Charles softened his voice and tried to reassure her.

"I've thought about it." Sheryl gave a deep sigh. Then she continued in determination, "Because I quit, Holley will make more trouble for Susan now that she can't get to me. So… So I need to get Susan out of BM Corporation ASAP."

"I feel bad the way they've treated her," Sheryl added with a sad face.

"I hear you." Charles immediately expressed his agreement. Then Charles tried to cheer Cheryl up by changing the subject. "I'm glad you're back. I have invited some people over for dinner. Cary will be there. You can sound Cary out and ask him whether he can offer Susan a job or not. I think he likes her."

"Okay." Sheryl's mood was brightened by Charles' suggestion. If Cary was truly willing to offer Susan a job, Holley couldn't do anything bad to Susan any more. If Susan had Cary as her backer, Holley couldn't even be mean to her.

But she couldn't help narrowing her brows when she thought of what Holley said to her today.

It wouldn't be easy to get Susan out of BM Corporation.

Next morning, Sheryl got up early and went shopping. Because she needed to treat Cary today, Sheryl decided to show her sincerity by cooking on her own. As such, Nancy had to act as her assistant.

Nancy felt a little worried and said to Sheryl, "Sheryl, how about just letting me cook?"

"No, Nancy. I can handle it." Sheryl shook her head. She added with a big smile on her face, "We have an important guest. I need to prepare the meal personally. It's special that way."

"But…" Nancy still hesitated.
