Chapter 1598 Enough


    Sheryl, however, seemedpletely unperturbed by the news. She shrugged her shoulders and said,


    "I have no idea. But I''d guess that either Le or Ferry is behind all of this!"


    Le and Ferry were the first people that Sheryl could think of because they were the ones pushing for


    Sheryl and Charles'' divorce.


    The thought filled Sheryl with an almost unbearable sorrow.


    Judging by her silence, I concluded that Sheryl wasn''t in high spirits. She wanted tofort her but


    she couldn''t think of what to do or say. The only thing I could do now was sit next to her quietly and


    keep herpany.


    After a while, Sheryl said, "All right, time to get back to work, I. I''m okay."


    Sheryl urged I to leave her office. Although I was reluctant, she decided to leave Sheryl alone


    since there wasn''t much else she could do to improve the situation.


    Meanwhile, at the Shining Company


    Charles was going through a stack of files in the CEO''s office. Suddenly, his assistant knocked on his


    door and walked in right after.


    Charles didn''t hide his displeasure at being interrupted. He stared balefully at the assistant, wondering


    what had happened. However, even though the assistant opened his mouth a few times, nothing came


    out of it. It was clear from his hesitation that he was struggling to find the words to express himself.


    Having lost his patience, Charles raised his voice and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Charles'' cold voice sent shivers down the assistant''s spine. He quickly scampered towards Charles''


    desk and handed him his iPad, and his hand shook with every breath that he took.


    "Mr. Lu, here is thetest news on Mrs. Lu. Please, take a look…" The assistant didn''t dare to mention


    anything else. He had already read the news and he could imagine how furious Charles would be when


    he saw those pictures.


    Charles furrowed his eyebrows and red sharply at the assistant before he took the iPad from him.


    The first thing he saw was the title of the video clip.


    ''Sheryl seeing her new lover at night?'' The mere thought of a "new lover" drove Charles up the wall.


    ''No wonder you''re that desperate to get a divorce, Sheryl. I know the reason now. You''re in love with


    another man!'' Charles finally got his answer as to why Sheryl was being so insistent.


    In a fit of rage, Charles threw the iPad away. The assistant quietly picked up his iPad and walked out of


    the office. He was smart enough to leave before further raising the ire of his boss. All things


    considered, thest thing that he would want was Charles venting his anger out on him.


    Charles was the only person in the office now.


    The only thoughts swimming in Charles'' mind at the moment were of Sheryl and her new lover, Lewis.


    He had seen them together before when he was in the shopping mall. Although Charles couldn''t clearly


    see who the man was back then, he was now convinced that the man had been Lewis.


    ''Sheryl, is this why you want to divorce me?''


    Charles pondered to himself. He was utterly heartbroken. He had never expected that Sheryl would do


    such a cruel thing to him. All that for another man!


    Charles took out his phone and called Sheryl, while the toxicity of his anger and sadness grew to


    fearsome heights. He wanted an exnation and he wanted to hear it from Sheryl in person. Deep


    down, he still hoped that the news wasn''t true and that it was just some fake news to catch the public''s


    attention so that the newspaper could sell more and make money.


    Sheryl was lost in thought, thinking about the pictures and the rumors that came with them. The sudden


    vibration of her phone caught her attention. She stared at the screen and let the phone continue


    ringing. She was hesitant to answer this call.


    Sheryl was certain that Charles had seen the video and that this was exactly why he was now calling


    her.


    Charles called Sheryl''s phone a few more times but got no response. After his patience had worn thin,


    he decided to drive over to the Cloud Advertising Company and confront Sheryl face-to-face.


    Soon, Charles'' car stopped right in front of the Cloud Advertising Company.


    I saw Charles getting out of his car and striding towards Sheryl''s office. She knew that Sheryl had a


    lot on her te right now and thest thing that she needed was a surprise visit from Charles, so she


    stepped into his way.


    Out of frustration, Charles was already about to snap. When he realized that it was I blocking his


    way, he tried to ask calmly, "Is Sheryl in the office?"


    "Yes, she is. What are you doing here?" I was never one to tell lies and she wasn''t about to start


    now just because of Charles. It didn''t matter whether Sheryl was in the office, or not. I wasn''t going


    to let Charles go inside anyway.


    "What I am doing here is none of your business. I''m here to see Sheryl!" Charles didn''t want to waste


    his time on I either, so he walked past her and headed towards the elevator.


    However, I stopped him again.


    "Enough! Why do you keep getting in my way?" I was very disappointed by Charles'' attitude. He


    was the one who had made the unforgivable mistake. And yet here he was, acting aggrieved and


    wanting to question and me Sheryl, as if Sheryl was the one who had engaged in an affair.


    Although I knew that the rtionship between Sheryl and Lewis was still unclear, she also knew that


    Sheryl was a woman of integrity. Sheryl would never cheat on Charles. Besides, Charles'' attitude had


    strengthened I''s determination to stop him.


    "I told you. I''m here to see Sheryl!"


    "Sheryl is very busy and I represent Sheryl now. You can tell me whatever it is that you want to say to


    her. I''ll be sure to give her the message," I said condescendingly, clearly showing no respect to


    Charles, despite him being the CEO of the Shining Company.


    "I, this is between me and Sheryl. Just because you are her best friend doesn''t mean that you have


    the right to interfere in our personal matters. You are crossing the line!" Charles blurted out impulsively.


    I was happy to see that Charles was furious. She looked at him contemptuously. If he had really


    cared about Sheryl, he shouldn''t have slept with another woman in the first ce.


    The more I thought about it, the angrier she became. She pointed her finger at Charles and mocked


    him, "Since you''re iming that this is between you and Sheryl, then why do you let Le stay in the


    Dream Garden? Do you really believe that Sheryl would betray you?" I med Charles.


    Without any careful consideration, Charles suddenly blurted, "Isn''t it obvious?" I was taken aback by


    Charles'' anger.


    This was the first time that I had ever seen Charles so angry.


    "Even if that''s the case, Sheryl''s personal life is no longer any of your concern. Why does it matter to


    you who she spends her time with? Aren''t you with Le now?" I knew that Sheryl wasn''t dating


    Lewis, but she didn''t want to tell Charles the truth. She wanted to make Charles realize just how hurtful


    and painful it was to be betrayed by a loved one. Just as he had done to Sheryl.


    I figured that it would be a good way to see whether Charles really cared about Sheryl, or not.


    "Great, great!" I''s words had Charles convinced that Sheryl had indeed betrayed him. Why else


    would Sheryl avoid him and send I to do her bidding? Sheryl''s guilt was made obvious by the fact


    that she was hiding from him.


    "That''s for sure. Lewis is twice the man you will ever be and he treats Sheryl with dignity and respect.


    All that you ever did was to lie to, cheat on and hurt Sheryl. As her best friend, I would love to see


    Sheryl choose Lewis over you!" I, gave Charles no quarter, ferociously bombarding him with harsh


    words.


    "Shut up!"


    Sheryl''s reluctance to face him had convinced Charles of Sheryl and Lewis'' rtionship. Having lost all

    faith in Sheryl, Charles suddenly turned around and walked away from I mid conversation. Feeling


    dejected, he now believed that Sheryl was no longer in love with him.


    I was happy to see that Charles left Cloud Advertising Company in frustration, and she was


    ddened by the thought of exacting revenge on him for Sheryl.


    Meanwhile, stepping from her office, Sheryl had calmly watched the whole incident unfold. The moment


    that Charles had walked into the building, Sheryl had seen him. She had hidden behind the curtains in


    the corridor when I stopped him.


    Suffice it to say that Sheryl had heard the whole conversation between I and Charles.


    ''Charles, it was just a few pictures. Did you really think that I had cheated on you based on such flimsy


    evidence? And what about the fact that you and Le slept together? What am I supposed to think


    about you two?''


    Sheryl was disappointed to see Charles''ck of faith in her.


    After Charles had left, I turned around to look for Sheryl, as she was dying to tell her what had


    happened just now.


    She was taken by surprise to see Sheryl standing right behind her. I had gotten so caught up in her


    argument with Charles that she hadn''t even noticed that Sheryl hade out of her office. I now felt


    ashamed for making Charles leave under false pretenses. She dared not look into Sheryl''s eyes, and


    scratching her head in embarrassment she slowly walked forward.
