Chapter 1335 Fight Back


    "It''s Charles'' mother, Melissa. As you already know, she never likes me. Since we met, she has always


    been making it difficult for me. Ipromise again and again to maintain the harmony between us, but


    she never stops. Now, she even lets Le live in Dream Garden. Who knows what she is nning


    next? I really don''t know what I have done wrong to make her hate me so much!"


    Sherylined sulkily, looking upset. I looked at her frustrated face and couldn''t help feeling


    sorry for her. She patted Sheryl''s head, trying tofort her.


    "Sometimes I really feel exhausted with this life. I even start to doubt whether marrying Charles is a


    mistake or not. Should we divorce now and cut the loss in time?" Sheryl sounded rather indignant.


    I looked at her with sympathetic eyes. She knew that Sheryl didn''t really mean to divorce Charles.


    Her words were merely to vent out her anger. After all, she loved Charles so much, and she would


    never choose to leave him.


    She could feel how sad and disappointed Sheryl was. I was also angry that she was treated wrongly.


    If this situation continued, Sheryl''s wounds would only be deeper. It was heartbreaking to know that as


    long as Melissa was around, Sheryl had to tolerate this kind of life.


    They must take actions to turn the tables around.


    "Sheryl, in my opinion, they dare to bully you because you have been too kind and forgiving. You must


    be tough, and give them a warning so they won''t think you''re a pushover,"


    I said in a serious tone as she touched Sheryl''s shoulders.


    Sheryl looked at I confused. "But what can I do? Nothing will change the fact that Melissa is Charles''


    mother. Even if she has already driven a wedge between me and Charles by framing me up, Charles


    will never forgive me if something bad happens to her."


    I sighed. She thought that Sheryl was so simple and naive. How she wanted to wake her up and


    shake Charles off from her head. Sheryl needed someone to tell her that Charles wasn''t the only thing


    to her, and she shouldn''tpromise her life for him all the time.


    "Hear me out, Sheryl. You don''t need to do anything to Melissa. We need to think about another way to


    have her suffer," I suggested. "Since Le is her partner, you can punish her instead. It''s like hitting

    two birds in one stone. Once they know that you are not subject to their humiliation, none of them will


    dare to mistreat you at will."


    "Are you sure it will work?" Sheryl had never thought of targeting Le. But I''s n sounded


    promising.


    "It''s not like you have any other choice. You can try that now and see if it works. Otherwise Melissa will


    always be an obstacle in your rtionship with Charles. I will not be surprised if she ends up breaking


    you apart one day."


    Sheryl nodded. What I said made sense. So far, Melissa had caused so many misunderstandings


    and quarrels between her and Charles. If she let Melissa run her life, she would end up destroying her.


    There was nothing left to do but to take the initiative to stop her.


    "All right. I agree with you. I would rather find a solution to end it than bear her endless insult myself,"


    she said resolutely.


    Lost in thought, Sheryl stayed in her office after I left. She must fight back! She was so preupied


    that she didn''t even notice how time psed. The stars started to appear as the darkness enveloped


    everything in sight. When Sheryl finally found a solution, it was already at night.


    Sheryl stroke her forehead. Just thinking about going home gave her a headache. Her home became a


    ce of torture now. Luckily, her two little angels, rk and Shirley, could give her somefort.


    She arrived at Dream Garden some timeter.


    "Kids, I''m back!" Sheryl called out happily as she opened the door. After she changed to her slippers,


    rk and Shirley came rushing towards her cheerfully.


    "Mom! You''re finally back! Why are you sote? I miss you so much!" Sheryl hugged them both, one


    kid in each arm. She was deeply touched by their innocent words. She had not seen them the entire


    day, but it seemed to be a whole year for the kids.


    "I miss both of you. How were you doing at school? Did you both behave yourselves?" Sheryl stood up


    and led the kids to the living room.


    "Sheryl, you are back! Dinner is ready. Take a seat, please," Nancy invited when she caught sight of


    Sheryl and the kids. She just came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup.


    "Thanks, Nancy. Is Charles back already?"


    "No, he isn''t back yet," Nancy replied. She put the soup bowl on the table. Since all the dishes were


    served, she was ready to ask Melissa and Le for dinner.


    Sheryl didn''t know whether Charles would join them or not, so she decided to call him and check. She


    dialed his number, and his phone started ringing. It took a while before he finally picked up.


    "Charles, will you be home for dinner?" she asked as soon as he epted the call.


    She initially heard noises in the background, but she couldn''t hear Charles clearly. A few secondster,


    it became quieter. Maybe Charles went to a quiet corner to speak with her.


    "Sheryl, I''m sorry but I won''t be back to have dinner with you tonight. I need to attend a dinner party


    now. I''ll being home prettyte. Don''t wait for me," Charles answered.


    Sheryl vaguely heard someone calling Charles. She knew that he must be in the middle of a


    conversation, so she ended their talk quickly.


    Sheryl walked towards the table, which Nancy had already set well. She also filled some rice and


    dishes for rk and Shirley, and then led them to the small table next to theirs.


    "Go ahead and eat, Sheryl. I''ll take care of rk and Shirley. You must be hungry by now. Enjoy your


    meal," Nancy said. She wanted to help Sheryl as much as possible. And what better way to do it than


    by helping her to feed the kids.


    "Oh, Nancy, that''s not necessary. They are both big enough to eat by themselves," Sheryl smiled. She


    was a mother but she would never spoil her children. Moreover, rk and Shirley were very


    independent and smart. She raised them to be independent at a young age, teaching them how to


    dress and eat on their own.


    At that time, Melissa and Le appeared from nowhere. They went down leisurely and came straight to


    the dining hall. Sheryl didn''t feel like talking, so she just ignored them. She watched the kids with loving


    eyes as they started eating.


    When Melissa saw that Sheryl dared to ignore her, she red up immediately. Her face suddenly


    became sullen. She was about to reproach Sheryl for her impoliteness when Le''s loud voice broke


    the silence.


    "Why are these dishes so oily? Aunt Melissa has just been discharged from the hospital. Don''t you


    know that light diet is best for her recovery?" Le creased her eyebrows as she checked out each of


    the dishes, deeply concerned.


    As if on cue, Melissa took a nce at the dishes, and then echoed, "Exactly! I left the hospital not so


    long ago. How can you cook oily foods? Did you do this on purpose? Nancy, you are such a vicious


    woman! Was it Sheryl who asked you to do this? Tell me the truth, or I won''t spare you!"


    Melissa thought it a great chance to set up Sheryl again. So she connected it to her on purpose.


    Nancy was totally confused by these usations. All the dishes were as light as they could be. When


    Nancy was about to exin, Sheryl tugged at her sleeves to stop her.
