Chapter 1485 Collusion


    Blood rushed to Phoebe''s head and it made her a little dizzy. ''So Ms. Xia will investigate who that


    person is. The parking lot has a CCTV, and I''m sure it recorded what happened. We''ll catch this guy


    soon!'' she thought.


    Meanwhile, Sheryl briefly nced at the characters written on her car, and quickly wiped them clean.


    "Let''s go. I''ll drive you home," Sheryl said to Phoebe. "Alright."


    They both got in the car, and then Sheryl started the engine and sped away. It was only until then that


    Phoebe felt a little relieved.


    It was just all too scary! What if that person had been hiding in the darkness, ready to attack them any


    minute?


    "Phoebe, don''t worry. That guy should''ve left already," Sheryl assured as she manned the steering


    wheel. However, doubt still flooded Phoebe''s anxious mind.


    "Err...Ms. Xia, how do you know that?" Phoebe asked in disbelief. Why and how was Sheryl so sure?


    They didn''t even know the guy.


    A smile formed on Sheryl''s lips and she exined, "Think about it: if you were that guy, would you still


    stay in the crime scene if there are CCTV cameras everywhere? It would be too risky. Once you''re


    caught, you won''t have any chances to take revenge on me. Don''t you think so?"


    After Sheryl spoke, Phoebe couldn''t help but admire Sheryl''s astuteness. She always had an insightful


    perception.


    "Ms. Xia, I was really freaked out. I thought that a bad guy would suddenlye out and attack us. If


    that really happened, there would be nowhere to run. Thank God he left!" Phoebe eximed and put a


    hand to her chest.


    "I''m sorry you got involved. Don''t worry about it anymore. I''ll handle this and catch that person," Sheryl


    said resolutely. Then Sheryl looked forward to the road again, her eyes clear and brimming with


    toughness and confidence.


    Her words reassured Phoebe. In turn, Phoebe looked at Sheryl, whose perfectly sculpted face was so


    beautiful yet strong that she couldn''t take her eyes away from it.


    Somehow, she felt her tension melt away. She felt that Sheryl was a reliable andpetent leader,


    which further convinced her that it was promising to follow such a person''s footsteps.


    At that same moment, Sheryl was thinking about something else so she didn''t notice Phoebe''s gaze.


    From the first time she saw those characters on her car, she immediately thought of who could be the


    perpetrator. However, the first name that popped up in her mind was someone who had disappeared


    from her life a long time ago. Rachel!


    She didn''t know why she had thought of her, since she had been gone for a long time.


    It reminded her of another incident in the restaurant this afternoon. She came across a weird woman in


    the toilet, and soon after someone left a threatening message on her car in the evening. Sheryl felt that


    these two incidents were rted.


    She thought that the person who did both was none other than Rachel!


    Was she back in the country already? Why was sheing after her again?


    Deep inside her, Sheryl thought that things weren''t as simple as they seemed. Even though there was


    CCTV cameras in the parking lot, Rachel was smart enough to realize that. She must''ve avoided being


    caught by the cameras. She only told Phoebe to check the footage tomorrow morning only because


    she wanted Phoebe to feel that everything was under control, so the girl could rx.


    If she wanted to get to the bottom of things, she must ask someone for help. Sheryl began to think of


    names.


    Soon enough, they reached Phoebe''s house. After Sheryl had dropped her off, she hurriedly returned


    to the restaurant where her friends were dining.


    When she reached the restaurant''s VIP room, she saw I, Nick, and Cassie staring eagerly at the


    dishes on the table.


    "You are finally here, Sher! I hate you! You know what, I''m starving! These dishes smell so good that I


    can''t wait to take a bite. But Nick insists that we wait for you! He didn''t allow me to start..." I blurted


    out as soon as she saw Sheryl by the doorway.


    While I bombarded her withints, Nick just shrugged and looked at Sheryl with a smile.


    He respected and loved I like she was his own sister, so he didn''t defend himself or stop her


    On the other hand, Sheryl tried her best not tough. She nced at Nick''s reddened face and said,


    "I, I''m really sorry. But you''ve always said that Nick is your little brother. Do you really have the heart


    to me your brother because of food?"


    As for Cassie, she couldn''t help but chuckle as Sheryl''s words amused all of them.


    After a while, Sheryl sat down and they started to eat. The small room was filled with the delicious


    smell of hotpot, while beef slices, mutton rolls, and other food were dropped into the pot one after the


    other. Thebined vors of the food and sauces mixed together was scrumptious. They all


    mouths.


    After several moments of eating, their foreheads were slick with sweat.


    During the middle of the meal, Sheryl wanted to go to the toilet, so she excused herself and went out.


    Before she could reach the toilet, she saw a familiar figure walk across her field of view. It was Le.


    ''Today is really not my day! Why do I always encounter those people I don''t like?'' Sheryl sighed. Since


    she didn''t want to talk to Le or let her know she was there, she slowed down her steps.


    When Sheryl reached a corner, she saw Le waving at someone with a big smile. She looked at the


    person Le was greeting, and her jaw dropped in shock. It was Holley! How did they know each


    other?


    It was weird, as Sheryl thought that those two were the most unlikely to be friends ever.


    It was a well-known secret that Le wanted Charles. She had tried every possible means of seducing


    him since she had been his secretary from way back. After she failed, she even stole Charles'' and her


    children to threaten him. However, her n failed and she ended up in jail.


    After she got released from prison, she still didn''t give up. She then used Melissa to achieve her goals.


    Now, she had been driven out of Dream Garden. She was already at the end of her rope, so why did


    she meet with Holley now?


    Truth be told, Holley wasn''t a nice person either.


    Holley previously thought about recing Sheryl and bing the hostess of Lu family all the time.


    Rachel used to be her partner. However, she used Rachel and even kicked her out of her own


    Sheryl saw them walking arm in arm, like intimate friends. She couldn''t help but mentally sneer at the


    sight.


    She could only think of one purpose for their meeting: collusion.


    Anger threatened to re out of Sheryl as they reminded her of all the suffering she endured. She


    thought about walking forward and spoiling their meeting with her abrupt presence. If she didn''t do


    anything, she wouldn''t feel at ease this whole evening.


    With that thought, Sheryl firmly proceeded to their table.

    Holley had actually invited Le out for coboration. She intended for them to meet at herpany,


    but Le refused and chose a restaurant. Le did that because she wanted to show that she was the


    one in control. She became economically independent because of her small business. The fact that


    she didn''t need to yield to anyone gave her much confidence.


    But to be honest, Holley didn''t want to meet her in public. Le was notorious, and she even had a


    history of imprisonment. On the other hand, Holley was the boss of a hugepany. If people saw


    them together, it would certainly take a toll on her fame. Still, Le insisted, so Holley had no choice,


    and she agreed.
