Chapter 1551 Le’s Trick


    Le went downstairs to join Melissa after all the others had left. She wrapped her arms around


    Melissa''s shoulders to calm her down. "Please don''t be mad at Charles, Aunt Melissa. It''s just taking


    him a while to ept things."


    Le talked as if she was going to marry Charles tomorrow, and as if Charles was emotionally closer to


    her than he was to his own mother, all because she and Charles shared the same bed once.


    "Le, did you hear what Charles had said just now? He said that if Sheryl didn''t return, he''d never


    was true that she didn''t want to stay in the same house as Sheryl, but if the condition was that her son


    would be going away with that woman, Melissa had to reconsider.


    Le walked Melissa to the sofa. Together, they sat down. Le put her hands together and wondered,


    ''What is so enchanting about Sheryl? Why is Charles so obsessed with that woman?''


    She sighed internally and put these thoughts aside before looking at Melissa. Le was well aware that


    Melissa was herst hope. "Aunt Melissa, Charles only said that because he was mad and he refused


    to ept things. Give him some time. I know he''ll calm down soon. Please know that at the very least,


    he''s going to visit you even if Sheryl never sees him again. You''re his mother. Please rx and take


    care." She sounded a little down but she made sense.


    Le''s words worked on Melissa, who leaned back on the sofa, feeling better.


    "Charles is more deeply devoted to that woman than I had thought, Le. We need toe up with a


    n to force him to get over her as soon as possible," Melissa murmured. She had been waiting for


    this day for so long, and now that Sheryl herself had left, Melissa would fan the mes to drive her


    further away.


    Birds of a feather flock together. Le thought exactly the same thing as Melissa did. Sheforted


    her for a while and then stood up to fetch the divorce papers lying on the dining table. She quickly went


    through them and sort of admired Sheryl''s courage and determination. No wonder Charles treated her


    with special attention. Le racked her brain trying toe up with an idea. It took her a long time


    before she was finally able to be in Sheryl''s position. She would make good use of this chance.


    "Look, she even left their divorce agreement papers here. It seems she''s determined to break it off with


    Charles this time. I believe she won''t go running back to him even if Charles chases her. As I said, it''s


    just a matter of time. They''ll never get back together," Le concluded. This was directed more to her


    than Melissa.


    Melissa nodded, although she was still annoyed. Her face was twisted as she thought of Sheryl.


    "You''re right. Out of sight, out of mind. But we can''t stop until we''re sure that Charles ispletely over


    her."


    "Don''t worry, Aunt Melissa. Rx. Thinking too much might harm you physically. We''ll just have to wait


    and see what happens." But these words didn''t mean anything, even to Le. They might sound


    The more uncertain she was about the future, the more she felt that she shouldn''t be sitting there,

    waiting. ''People should take their destiny into their own hands, '' she thought.


    "Maybe we can do something. A long night brings many dreams. If we only had that woman to worry


    about, we might not need to do much, but she has her two kids with her. Charles maye to visit


    rk and Shirley asionally, which means that Charles and Sheryl will inevitably meet." Le


    evaluated the situation. Then, her eyes lit up and she looked at Melissa.


    Melissa frowned for a moment. Then, her face grew bright when she suddenly understood that


    something must havee into Le''s mind. "Le? Have youe up with an idea? Tell me


    everything!" she eximed, her gloom swept away immediately.


    Le narrowed her eyes a bit and nodded.


    "I want to hear every detail! Hurry up! What are you waiting for?" Melissa had always seen Sheryl as a


    thorn in her side. She couldn''t wait to get rid of her forever.


    Le sat back down beside her and, with a confident smile, whispered into her ear. On the other side of


    the room, Nancy was standing behind a tall vase. She turned an ear toward them to catch what they


    were talking about. The words were hard for her to hear clearly, but she was certain that they were


    plotting against Sheryl. Nancy had never liked Le, and now, she felt even more disgusted toward this


    scheming woman. But, as a servant, she had no right to interfere. She was not in a position to speak


    up.


    "That''s a wonderful idea, Le! And we''re going to make this happen in one swift move! You''re far


    smarter than I thought. I believe that after this, Sheryl will dismiss any thought of getting back together


    with Charles for good!" Melissa eximed excitedly in a low voice, almost jumping up from the sofa to


    p her hands.


    As she stood on the other side of the room, Nancy heard almost everything. She knitted her brows


    upon hearing how shameless Le and Melissa were. She hoped that Charles and Sheryl could make


    up before it was toote.


    "Aunt Melissa, I''m doing this for Charles, not for myself. Because we spent that one night together, I


    hope that our rtionship can go further…" Le smiled shyly and lowered her head. Melissa patted


    her hands,ughing from ear to ear.


    "Look, if you can get married to my son, it''ll fulfill a lifelong dream of mine. I''ll be more than happy for


    both Charles and you. Besides, not being annoyed by that woman may add years to my life!" Melissa


    encouraged. Le''s smile grew wider at Melissa''s words.


    Nancy could no longer stand them. She walked away quietly and went to the courtyard. What she had


    just seen and heard was far beyond her imagination.


    Meanwhile, Sheryl had taken rk and Shirley to Cloud Advertising Company with her.


    She was not in the mood to take them out to y. Since more and more clients had beening to


    them, the entirepany was working hard to meet deadlines. Sheryl also dedicated herself fully to


    her work. At the moment, only work could spare her from her messed-up personal life. Charles called


    her several times earlier, and annoyed, she turned off her phone. She wouldn''t answer his calls until


    she had sorted herself out.


    "You brought rk and Shirley here, Ms. Xia. This is not like you!" Phoebe noted. She was both


    surprised and confused. Her boss had always turned her back even on her own family when she


    worked. Phoebe thought Sheryl was acting strangely that day.


    Sheryl managed a faint smile and replied, "Yes, they''re off school and I decided to take them with me.


    This way, I can see them any time I want to."


    In truth, Sheryl was upset that morning. She hadn''t asked the kids for their opinion before she took


    them with her. She was sort of relieved when she noticed they weren''t in the least affected by her


    decision.


    "Mommy, please focus on work, and I''ll take Shirley with me to y on the rooftop," rk said. He


    loved thepany building''s rooftop. It was huge and it had everything he liked. It was surrounded by


    railings, which kept kids like him and Shirley safe.


    "Wow!" Shirley eximed. "Let''s go, rk! I just remembered there are lilies up there. Mommy''s


    favorite flower!" Shirley pped her hands excitedly. There was a little garden over there full of flowers.


    Sheryl walked over to the kids and held her son tightly, appreciating his thoughtfulness. rk was very


    smart for his age. He was already lightening his mother''s burden by taking his sister away to give his


    mother some time alone. Sheryl was overwhelmed.


    "Okay. Please take care of your sister for me," Sheryl said as she sniffed. She then held both kids in


    her arms for a long time. After a while, she let them go.


    She watched as they disappeared. Then she said to Phoebe, "Please go and keep an eye on them for


    me."


    "Yes, Ms. Xia. The kids will be safe with me. Please don''t worry." Phoebe had seen Sheryl''s swollen


    eyes and had guessed that something big must have taken ce.


    "Thank you. You''re the best," Sheryl said. Phoebe really helped a lot, both withpany matters and


    with Sheryl''s personal affairs. There might have been lots of unpleasant things in her life, but Sheryl felt


    grateful that she was surrounded by so many nice people.


    "I''m ttered! But my job is to help you." Without dy, Phoebe ran to catch up with the kids.


    Sheryl then went to her office and sat in front of her desk. With her elbows on the table, she rubbed her


    forehead and thought about how and where to start. She watched the pile of documents on her table,


    and her mind grew nk. Letting out a heavy sigh, she picked up the phone and called another


    assistant.


    "If Mr. Lues here, please tell him that I''m out today," she instructed. Her head was a mess at the


    moment and she didn''t want to see Charles. They would fight bute to no agreement. Besides, she


    was afraid that, if she somehow found herself holding a knife, she would not hesitate to stab him right


    in the chest.


    "Copy that, Ms. Xia!"


    Sheryl was just hanging up when I pushed the door open and walked in. She was surprised to see


    Sheryl already in her seat.


    "Phoebe told me that you left the officetest night. Why did you get so little rest and thene back


    here so early? You need to take better care of yourself, dear friend!" I threw her bag on the sofa and


    stopped right before Sheryl''s desk. She fixed her gaze on her and grabbed her breakfast. Soon, I


    realized that there was something wrong with Sheryl, because she sat very still like a statue. It was as


    if she didn''t see or hear I at all.
