Chapter 1552 Unable To Exin


    "Sheryl, what''s wrong? What happened to you?" I asked with anxiety as she looked at the


    devastated expression on Sheryl''s face. She put down the snack that she was about to take a bite and


    sprang up from her seat. Sheryl looked as if she had just survived a storm. Her eyes revealed that on

    the inside she was broken into bits. I''s heart sank at the sight of it.


    Sheryl felt sorry for ruining I''s delighted mood. But I being her best friend, she couldn''t pretend to


    be normal in front of her either. Hence, just to make sure that I didn''t get too worried, Sheryl simply


    shook her head and replied, "Nothing. I just fought with Charles." However, her voice creaked as she


    spoke,pletely betraying her intentions to make it sound casual.


    "It''s not so simple, Sher! You have had fights before, but I''ve never seen you so desperate and sad like


    that. Am I still your best friend? Tell me what happened now!" I said in a solemn tone. Looking at


    Sheryl''s face, she couldn''t help worrying about her.


    Sheryl knew that she had to give in. I being the kind of girl she was, she would not let the matter rest


    until she got to the root of it. Besides, how long would Sheryl be able to hide it? Hence, Sheryl


    mustered up her courage and told everything to I.


    As I listened to Sheryl, she was totally aghast. Her mouth went wide open and her eyes were


    dted. "What did you just say?" I asked in utter disbelief. It took her a few moments to internalize


    what she had just heard. And after that, she red up like a fireball. Had Le been there in front of her


    at that moment, she would have been dead meat.


    Sheryl continued in a broken voice, "Maybe it is my fate to be abandoned by all of my family. I had


    thought that I could live happily with Charles till the end of my life, but who knows Le would ruin


    everything like this!" Sheryl tried to hold her emotions in as she med fate for everything. She felt her


    eyes prickling, but she restrained herself from crying.


    Sheryl closed her eyes shut to hold back her tears, and heaved a sigh to regain herposure. Then


    she looked at I and gave her a bitter smile. She shook her head, trying to shake it off. At this point,


    she even hoped that she could lose her memory.


    However, no matter how much she tried to gather herself, nothing seemed to help. The despair and


    desperation that were tearing Sheryl apart could not evade I''s eyes no matter how she tried to


    disguise it with an indifferent attitude. But she really didn''t know how tofort Sheryl. I knew that


    there was no cure for her at the moment.


    "Sher, is it possible that there is a mistake in our understanding of what actually happened between


    Charles and Le? Maybe you should listen to Charles'' exnation first," I said probingly. After all,


    I was not in Sheryl''s position. She didn''t know exactly what happened. She hoped that Sheryl could


    figure out everything before she made a decision.


    However, Sheryl shook her head. Every time when she recalled the scene, her heart bled.


    "I, you know what? What do you think they are doing when a man and a woman embrace each


    other, naked in bed? What would you do if the man were Aron?" As soon as Sheryl asked that


    question, I stopped giving the benefit of the doubt to Charles. If she were in Sheryl''s position, she


    would never forgive Aron.


    "Damn it! Charles, you are courting death!" I just stood up and rolled up her sleeves, ready toe


    for Charles.


    "What are you doing, I? Are you going to fight him?" Sheryl screamed. She freaked out and grasped


    I''s arms.


    Sheryl''s stopping her like this infuriated I all the more. "Sher, are you still going to tolerate this even


    after he cheated on you?"


    "No, I''ve decided to divorce him already. I don''t want to have anything to do with him or Le!" Sheryl


    shouted out, venting out her frustration.


    I gaped at Sheryl in utter disbelief as she heard that Sheryl wanted to divorce Charles. As the entire


    situation unraveled bit by bit, I found it difficult to believe how her friend''s life just crumbled to bits


    overnight.


    "Don''t look at me like that. I will divorce him sooner orter," Sheryl said in a stern voice. As soon as


    Sheryl finished speaking and before I could say anything, her assistant burst in, "Ms. Xia, Mr. Lu is


    here!" She awkwardly pointed to the reception desk.


    "Haven''t I told you that if he shows up, just tell him that I''m not here?" Sheryl snapped at her angrily. At


    this point in time, Sheryl could not even tolerate hearing his name.


    Her assistant bit her lips and replied hesitantly, "Yes, I told him so. Yet, Mr. Lu insisted that you were


    here. He is absolutely resolute that he wants to meet you. I...I couldn''t stop him!"


    Seeing her perplexed expression, Sheryl knew that it was not her fault. Charles must have realized that


    the only ce she could be at the moment was herpany. He couldn''t be sent away so easily.


    "Sher, don''t worry. I''ll confront him. I''d like to see what he wants to do after doing such a shameless


    deed!" Iforted her and then dashed out. I knew that Sheryl didn''t want to face Charles at the


    moment, nor was she in the right mental state to do so. As her friend, I had to step up and deal with


    him.


    Sheryl wanted to stop her but before she could, I was already out of the cabin. She quickly told her


    assistant, "Go with her. You keep a close watch on them, and don''t let them fight there!"


    "Yes, Ms. Xia!" the girl answered and left in haste.


    She almost ran on her toes to match the speed in which I headed towards the reception area.


    At the front office, I stood upright in front of Charles gazing right into his eyes with a piercing look.


    Even in the heated moment, Charles looked so handsome! Who would say that he was a father of two


    kids! No wonder so many girls were attracted to him.


    Though I was infuriated, she couldn''t help but marvel at how good looking and charming Charles


    was. And he might remain as charming even after a decade. But even then, it was indeed not


    reassuring enough for Sheryl to live with such a man.


    Even if Charles had no intention to have an affair with other women, he couldn''t stop the girls from


    flocking to him.


    "Wow! Look who''s here? Is this Mr. Lu the butterfly? So, what brings you here to Sheryl''spany?


    Aren''t you supposed to be with your new girl Le?" Each word uttered by I was dripping with


    sarcasm. She gave him a contemptuous nce as if he were a pile of rubbish. She felt so contented to


    be able to hurl the insulting words at him.


    Charles could feel from I''s bodynguage that she was so aggressive—she might punch him any


    time.


    "Is Sher in her office?" Charles asked in an embarrassed yet polite manner, ignoring her provocation.


    I didn''t answer him. Instead, she crossed her arms on her chest and red at Charles.


    "I really need to meet her right now," Charles said, ready to go upstairs.


    But I wouldn''t let him go to Sheryl''s office so easily. Moreover, Sheryl didn''t want to see him. His


    presence would only end up hurting Sheryl deeper. As her best friend, I had to stop Charles no


    matter what.


    "Mr. Lu, let me inform you that Sher is in a very bad mood now. Even if you go to meet her, she won''t


    forgive you. So better save your energy!" I sounded as if she was being considerate towards


    Charles, but in fact, she was stimting him.


    "I know. I''ll exin to her!"


    "What do you want to exin? How you ended up sleeping with Le after you were drunk? What if


    Sher slept with a man after she got drunk? Would you have the patience to hear her exnation?" I


    asked sharply. She was always eloquent in her speech, and she knew how to argue to the point.


    Charles was rendered speechless by I. He opened his mouth but couldn''t find a word to defend


    himself.


    "This is our family affair. I need to talk to her by myself! Please let me meet her once." Charles


    deliberately used the family context hoping to get rid of I.


    Charles bypassed I and wanted to force his way into the elevator.


    However, I blocked his way and spat angrily, "Charles, who do you think you are? Do you really think


    that Sheryl can''t live without you? Get out of here right away! Otherwise, I''ll call the guards to drive you


    out!"


    "I, I''m here to look for my wife, Sheryl. I really want to ask you, who do you think you are to stop me


    from seeing my own wife?" Charles sputtered anxiously. With every passing moment, Charles was


    getting more and more desperate to see Sheryl. He must exin to her as soon as possible.


    Caught in such a situation, I put aside her gracefulness and bombarded him with a retort of her own.


    "Then let me tell you, I''m Sheryl''s best friend. If anyone dares to hurt her, I would never spare that


    person. Moreover, Mr. Lu, haven''t you just fucked Le? Didn''t she satisfy you?"


    Even though I was enraged, she did not lose her power to reason. Her words were sarcastic but


    reasonable. Charles felt deeply insulted, but he couldn''t argue otherwise. After all, he did sleep with


    Le, which was indeed inexplicable and unpardonable.
