The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 969

Sheryl was dumbfounded after she heard Charles' explanation. She had never thought that the decision to fire Marcus had more story to it. She wore a wry smile and tried to convince Charles, "However, no matter how it was, Marcus did nothing wrong. If you dismissed him, it might ruin his life."

Charles replied with a stern face, "If his wife wasn't so greedy, he wouldn't have suffered such a serious consequence. Marcus has chosen such a mean and wicked woman as his wife and tolerated her wrongdoings all the time, so he has to take full responsibility of its consequences."

He stared at Sheryl and continued, "Sher, no one in the world should blindly tolerate another person's offence. Since he allowed it, he had to pay its price. Even if I don't punish him today, there would be someone who would give him a lesson in the future. Do you understand?"

He held Sheryl's hands gently and comforted her, "All right, don't be angry. If our relationship gets influenced by others, it is not worth it."

"But..." Sheryl wanted to say something, but Charles interrupted her with a warm smile. He then skipped to the next topic. "Tell me, what on earth happened today? You always drive cautiously. How did your car collide with another car?"

Thinking about the car crash, she got reminded of the other car that sneakily followed her before the accident. She frowned slightly as she informed Charles of the incident. "I don't know why, but I always feel that someone had been following me recently."

"Are you telling me you're being tailed on?" Charles was shocked. He never heard this news from any of the bodyguards he hired to protect Sheryl. "What happened?"

"I don't know exactly." Sheryl shook her head and looked straight at Charles. "I am not sure if it was just my imagination. There was a car that seemed to be following me the entire day. I intentionally drove around the city to get rid of it, but it continued to tail on me for some time. As I was trying to drive away from it, I didn't see another car up front so I accidentally hit it. Later on, I found out that the car who had been following me had already taken off."

"So do you still think you're imagining things?" Charles tried to conceal his worries as he comforted Sheryl. However, his brows arched as he thought about it, 'I will find it out, but I didn't want Sheryl to worry about it at all.'

"Nope." Sheryl shook her head firmly and confirmed, "I am definitely sure that someone was monitoring me. I took a detour on purpose, but his car continued to run behind me the entire time. It didn't leave me alone until I got in a car crash. So I'm sure I was being tailed on by someone."

"All right, don't worry about it." Charles frowned as a worrisome expression flashed across his face. Though he probably had an idea on who it was, he pretended that he knew nothing. "Don't worry about it.

Take a bath and have a good rest tonight. I will deal with it." He held her close and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Okay." Sheryl nodded.

The next morning, Sheryl got up early for work. Out of concern for his wife, Charles tried to convince her into staying at home that day. "Sher, I'm sure you got terrified by the car accident yesterday. Why don't you take this day off so you can take a good rest at home?"

"I can't." She shook her head a little as she declined his advice. "Recently, I've been swamped by the company's projects, so I have no time to have a rest.

Don't worry, Charles. I'd be fine." "Then I would arrange a chauffeur to drive you to the company." After the car accident, Charles absolutely couldn't feel at ease to see Sheryl drive herself to work, so he made sure to find an experienced chauffeur for her overnight. "Your car was sent to the garage," he explained. "I've found a chauffeur for you. He will be in charge of driving you to work and then picking you up at the end of the day. If you have any problems, just tell him."
