The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 966

"I didn't give it much thought," Susan responded as she lowered her head. "Mr. Han is my boss, but he apologized to me earnestly and begged me to forgive his girlfriend. He looked so sincere that I had no heart to refuse his request. So I agreed."

Though Sheryl was angry at how it ended, she finally stopped blaming the girl. With a wry smile, she said, "We are done with this topic. Things had already happened, so it's useless to scold you now."

Letting a sigh, she continued, "It's getting late. Go to sleep. I got to go."

Before she left, she reminded Susan to think twice before making a decision. She didn't step out of the Su family's apartment until the latter nodded in agreement.

Sheryl had been engrossed in her thoughts on her way home. According to what Susan said, George had learnt what Holley had done to her. However, he didn't bring it up in front of his girlfriend. Instead, he hired people to investigate on her.

'Now I understand why George would look into Holley. It looked like he didn't trust her as much as he did before, ' she thought.

In between thoughts, she suddenly looked up and saw a suspicious car on her rear-view mirror. She kept driving and noticed that it seemed to remain behind her. It then crossed her mind that she was being followed. So she sped up deliberately, but the car behind ran faster too. She made a turn and took a detour with the thought that she would get rid of the car, but to her surprise, it remained to follow her at a distance.

Flustered, Sheryl stepped on the gas in an attempt to lose it. Unexpectedly she hit another car that appeared in front of hers.

"Bump!" The air bag went off as Sheryl slammed on the brakes. As a result, her face got buried in the air bag. She looked outside the car window and saw how the car behind drove past her as if nothing happened. But she wasn't able to see the driver's face since the car window was closed.

Before Sheryl could mull over who would follow her, the driver of the car she bumped into stepped out furiously. After checking the rear end of his car, he strode to the side of her car and knocked on her car window violently. She had no choice but to roll down the window. With an irritated look, he shouted at her, "What's wrong with you?"

As Sheryl didn't respond, he went on grumpily, "Didn't you see that the red light was on? Have you lost your mind?"

"Oh, sorry. I am so sorry," Sheryl apologized in embarrassment. She didn't get injured, but she didn't get over the shock. After regaining her composure, she pushed the car door and stepped out. "So what do you want?" she asked calmly.

A fat woman from the passenger's seat got out, walked straight to the driver's side and examined Sheryl from head to toe. Before the man could open his mouth, she said arrogantly, "What did you mean? It's your fault, so watch your tone."

Sheryl frowned at the woman. "I'm not going to run away from my responsibility. It's my fault. I was inquiring about your opinion on how we can resolve this. There are two ways to settle it: I can give you some money or you can contact the insurance company. I am okay with either of them."

"The former," the woman said.

"The latter," the man answered at the same time. The man and the woman didn't seem to reach an agreement. Raising her brows, Sheryl turned to both of them and suggested, "How about you two discuss it first and then tell me your decision?"

The woman pulled the man a few feet away from Sheryl before she seethed, "Did you hit your head? How could you make such a stupid decision?"

"Why not?" the man argued, and he seemed confused as he looked at her. "It's not our fault, so we can get a sound compensation from the insurance company. Isn't it good?"

"Oh my god, why did I marry a simpleton?" the woman whined and glowered at him. "Look at that woman. She is dressed in designer clothes. Her car is not bad too. She must be rich. Now that she is willing to pay us some compensation, we can blackmail her and get a generous amount of money. I despise such stupid and rich people like her."
