Chapter 1576 This Is The Chance


    Le had long been waiting for this moment. She thought to herself, ''Yes! This is the chance I''ve been


    waiting for.'' Once again she made a pity face and started her persuasion. "Aunt Melissa, since my


    lingerie store is not doing that well, can you help me to get a job in Shining Company? If I get a job in


    the Shining Company, I can get a stable job and I can even watch over Charles for you!"


    Melissa heaved a sigh and thought to herself, ''Oh, what a relief. I thought she was going to ask me for


    money. As long as it is not about me giving her money, that is okay.


    But, why? Why does she want to get a job in Shining Company?


    Is it necessary?'' Melissa got a little confused about Le''s request.


    Gauging Melissa''s state of mind from her face, Le decided not to push the matter any further. At the


    same time, Nancy was just about to finish preparing the lunch, so Le went to help Nancy with serving


    the food to the table. After everything was done, Le called Melissa, "Aunt Melissa,e and have


    lunch."


    Le left Melissa at the right time. It gave her the time to think over Le''s request and her mind did get


    upied with it. She stood up and walked towards the table. But she was still lost in her own thoughts.


    As she took her seat and started eating, she was still thinking about what Le said.


    "Le, you want to work in the Shining Company? Can you tell me why?" Melissa asked after a while.


    Le smiled inwardly as she saw her trick working on Melissa. She said with strong determination,


    "Melissa, let''s think. Now, although Sheryl has left the Lu family, she still has some connections with


    Charles. Nevertheless, they were married for a long time and they had two kids. They are not going to


    stay apart so easily. But, if I am by Charles'' side, Sheryl won''t be able to approach Charles anymore.


    Besides, if I am here to help Charles, he will do better in his business. I will help the Shining Company


    to be better and better. You know about me, Melissa. No matter what, I will never betray Charles. I will


    help him with all my heart." Le spoke in such a convincing manner that it felt like she was an


    absolute necessity for Charles as well as Shining Company at the moment.


    Melissa was touched by her sincere words. "Yes, you are right," she said.


    "Of course, Aunt Melissa. And you know that Charles doesn''t like me very much right now. But if I can


    help him with his business, I might get his heart. He might appreciate me and think of me as a good


    woman aspared to Sheryl. This will help me get a better chance to be your daughter-inw,


    right?" Le said convincingly. She kept on persuading Melissa.


    After some initial hesitation, Melissa agreed to Le''s n.


    She knew that after she got out of prison, she was never involved in the business of Shining Company.


    ''It''s true that there is no one there to help Charles to run such a bigpany, '' she thought to herself.


    "Alright, then, Le. I will help you enter the Shining Company. But you have to work hard. Don''t let me


    down," Melissa said in a soft voice. Her tone was absolutely different when she spoke with Le than


    how she spoke with Sheryl. Her loving demeanor seemed like Le was really her daughter.


    "I will never let you down, Aunt Melissa. Thank you for believing me!" Le said happily as she kissed


    Melissa on her face to show her gratitude.


    Just when they reached this agreement, Nancy heard everything in the kitchen. After she knew their


    n, she got nervous.


    Nancy thought to herself, ''No! Sheryl has toe back to Dream Garden immediately! If she doesn''t


    ce!''


    After Le and Melissa finished their lunch, they went shopping together. Nancy cleaned up the table


    and washed all the dishes. When she found that Melissa and Le were gone, she called Sheryl.


    At that time Sheryl was at the hospital with Nick. The doctor just changed the medicine for Nick and


    Cassie. Sheryl was sitting beside Nick''s bed.


    "There is nothing much to worry about. Just a minor skin injury. The wounds will soon get better," said


    the doctor before he left.


    "Nick will be able to be discharged by tomorrow."


    After hearing the doctor''s reassuring words, Sheryl felt relieved. Right at that time, her phone rang. She


    asked Nick to be careful of his wounds and excused herself to go out of the room.


    On seeing that the call was from Nancy, Sheryl spected what could be the reason behind this call.


    ''Last time, I called her because of Joan, but I have not contacted her for a long time since then, ''


    thought Sheryl, guilty. First, she thought whether she should take the call but then she pressed the


    green icon and asked, "Nancy? What''s wrong?" Sheryl spoke in a calm voice, trying to sound


    absolutely normal, lest Nancy became worried about her.


    "Sher, how''s everything going? Why haven''t you made up with Charles yet? Have you really decided to


    split up with Charles? Is it for real?" Before Nancy contacted Sheryl, she had a lot of questions in her


    mind, so she asked them out directly as soon as she heard Sheryl''s voice.


    Hearing so many questions all that the same time, Sheryl went speechless. She knew that Nancy was


    genuinely concerned about their marital dispute and she must be very worried about her. So, she


    sighed and said, "Nancy, don''t worry. I will deal with the problems. We will figure them out."


    ''If anyone asks me about one person in the Dream Garden who really cares about me, it would


    definitely be Nancy. And it would be only her and none other than her, '' thought Sheryl bitterly.


    "How could I not worry? Le told Mrs. Lu that she wanted to go to work in Shining Company today. If


    she really does, she will be so close to Mr. Lu. I''m afraid that if..." Nancy stopped when she talked


    about Le and Charles, unable to go on speaking.


    Sheryl could feel the anxiety in her voice. Although she didn''tplete her sentence, Sheryl knew


    what she wanted to say.


    Sheryl knew that the closer Le get with Charles, the chance of Sheryl''s resolving the issue with


    Charles would be faint. ''But that is just what I want, isn''t it?'' she thought to herself bitterly.


    Sheughed at herself silently and feigned to be calm as she spoke with Nancy. "Nancy, they are


    already close enough to be engaged in an intimate rtionship. Isn''t it normal for them to work


    together?"


    Sheryl pretended to be not caring about Le and Charles at all, but Nancy looked right through her.


    ''She always pretends to be fine. She is just hiding her sorrow by pretending to be okay with what is


    going on between Charles and Le, '' Nancy thought.


    "Sher, why? Why do you pretend in front of me? I know that you love Charles so much. I know how


    much you care about each other. You don''t have to be like this," Nancy said. She was really sad about


    the situation and felt genuinely sorry for Sheryl. She thought to herself, ''Poor Sher. As a woman, she


    had to go to work and watch over the kids at the same time. Now, the man she loves is caught up in a


    rtionship with another woman. It must be so painful for her.''


    Sheryl didn''t expect that Nancy would say that so directly, so sheughed, embarrassed. ''It''s so lucky


    that Nancy can''t see me right now so that she won''t see how helpless I am, '' thought Sheryl.


    "Nancy, it''s over. This is our destiny. We are meant to be apart. And, anyway, Nancy, I''m still at work. If


    you don''t have any other things, I need to go back to work now. If you are avable, you cane over

    and visit the kids. The kids are missing you!" Sheryl didn''t answer any of Nancy''s questions. Instead,


    she changed the topic. She didn''t want to talk about anything about Charles. In fact, she didn''t want to


    hear his name anymore.


    "Alright, then, Sher. Take care of yourself," said Nancy. After she heard Sheryl''s words, she knew that


    there was not much she could do, so she could only hang up the phone.


    Sheryl stood by the door, staring at the phone for a long time after the line got disconnected. Had it not


    been for I who came out of the room looking for her, she might have stood there for God knew how


    long.


    "Who called? What happened? You don''t look very good, Sher," asked I, worried.


    Sheryl did not want to bring back the topic with I, hence she hid her emotions and went back to the


    room with I. She merely exined, "It''s nothing. It''s a crank call. It''s nobody."


    They went back to the room together and I believed what Sheryl said, so she stopped probing.


    "Sheryl and I, you can go back home now. Cassie and I are perfectly alright. We will get out of the


    hospital tomorrow. You just need to remember to pick us up tomorrow," Nick said. He knew that Sheryl


    and I were at the hospital with him all throughout, and he was worried that it would influence their


    work, so he wanted them back to theirpany.


    "Alright, Sheryl and I will be going right now. If you have anything, remember to call us!" I said.


    ''Since Nick and Cassie have recovered, why not give them some time together?'' thought I.


    However, out of Sheryl''s and I''s expectation, just after they left, Jordan came to the hospital.


    The night before, Jordan learned from his sister that Nick and Cassie had been held in custody and


    they were in the hospital now. ''It''s a great opportunity to humiliate them! I won''t miss it out!'' Jordan


    thought happily.


    Just when Nick wanted to talk about what they would be doing after they got out of the hospital, the


    door of the room went open.


    They thought it might be a nurse, but it wasn''t. Instead, it was Jordan standing in front of them and


    smirking at them—a sight that they would never want to see.
