Chapter 1670 Charles Didn''t Believe Her
"What do you want to do? Drink some water, have some food or go to the bathroom?" Sheryl asked,
looking at Melissa helplessly.
She knew that Melissa was picking on her, but she did not care. What Melissa had said made sense.
Sheryl wouldn''t retort since she was in a subordinate position.
"What''s with that attitude? Is that how you should be talking to your mother-inw?"
Melissa got angry when she saw that Sheryl didn''t seem to care about her words. Pointing at Sheryl,
Melissa moaned discontentedly, "What did Charles do to deserve you?"
Melissa was getting absurd. Not only was she insulting Sheryl now, but Charles too. Frowning, Sheryl
nced at her and said, "I have to go now, Melissa. Get some rest."
Reasoning with Melissa was like hitting her head against a wall, so Sheryl decided to leave instead.
"Ouch!" Sheryl heard Melissa cry out from behind after a great thud.
Turning around, she found Melissa on the floor, groaning. Startled, she ran up to help her up.
However, Melissa pushed her away.
Tears brimming her eyes and her arms shaking, Melissa cried, "You know that I''m not in good shape.
Why did you push me? Do you dislike me this much?"

Hearing Melissa''s words, Sheryl froze. ''When did I push her?'' she thought to herself.
"You''re such an evil woman! You think that you could live a harmonious and happy life with my son if
you remove me from his life?"
Weeping and sobbing, Melissa looked at Sheryl like she was suffering a great injustice. Her acting
skills would''ve won her the Oscar''s!
Sheryl didn''t know what to do. She stood aside and watched, wondering what Melissa was going to do
next. All of a sudden, the door of the ward swung open.
Standing there were Charles and Le, just in time to hear what Melissa had said.
"What are you doing, Sheryl?" Le asked, surprised. Seeing Melissa lying on the floor, Le walked in
with Charles and immediately went to Melissa''s aid.
Grabbing at Le''s hands like she was actually her daughter-inw, Melissa started crying again,
"Charles, Le, you have to help me!"
Melissa was almost out of breath, but she continued to cry like Sheryl had indeed just bullied her.
Even Sheryl herself might have bought it if she didn''t know what had really happened.
Looking at the injuries covering her arms and legs, it looked like Melissa had been badly hurt from the
fall.
"If you have any dissatisfaction,e to me, but not Aunt Melissa! Aunt Melissa does favor me, but
that doesn''t give you any authority to hurt her! She''s not in good condition, and you know that! What if
she had died when you pushed her?" Le scolded Sheryl, her eyes ring red.
Sheryl opened her mouth but said nothing.
She didn''t need to exin to Le, an outsider to their family. What made her think that she could
meddle with their family affairs?
As she thought about it, Sheryl turned to look at Charles, hoping to see his concerned eyes, but
instead, she saw his hesitation.
It seemed Melissa''s words had gotten to him. Sheryl knew Charles well enough to understand what
was going through his head.
"How are you, Aunt Melissa. Are you okay?" Le asked, turning to Melissa.
But Melissa just kept crying, making Sheryl feel even worse. Le patted Melissa''s back gently until
she had calmed down. Then ring at Sheryl with resentment, she shouted, "Sheryl, why did you push
Aunt Melissa? You must have done it on purpose!"
"I did not push her!" Sheryl answered, clearly enunciating each word.
Staring at Melissa''s noble face, her make-up now ruined by tears, Sheryl tried to find any sign of guilt,
but there was nothing.
Apparently, she was asking too much. Melissa was determined to frame her. Of course she wouldn''t
feel guilty.
It had never urred to Sheryl that Melissa would y such tricks, and with Le''s help, her
exnation would be futile.
"If you hadn''t pushed her, then why had she fallen onto the floor? There is enough evidence here, so
don''t dare to try and deny it! Sheryl, I have underestimated your viciousness!" Le said aggressively,
ring at Sheryl.
''Charles hasn''t spoken a word since we came in. He obviously suspects Sheryl, '' thought Le. She
would seize this chance, making sure that Charles would never trust Sheryl again.
"Le, you are not family. It''s none of your business!" Sheryl red back at Le.
Le made waves wherever she went, and she was obviously trying to alienate Sheryl and Charles
with her words. What a viin!
Dismissing Sheryl''s words, Le retorted, "You are right! I''m not part of the family, but I couldn''t just
stand by and let you hurt Aunt Melissa."
Sheryl scowled as she saw Le was filled with indignation, acting like Melissa''s proud daughter-inw.
"Show me the evidence to prove that I pushed Mom, or stop ndering me. Otherwise, I''ll sue you!"
Sheryl said in a dismissive voice.
"Evidence? Are these injuries not evidence enough? See how badly Aunt Melissa has been hurt!" Le
yelled, pointing at Sheryl. At the same time, she cast a nce at Charles, hoping he would help by
saying something.
Hearing what Le had said, Charles raised his head to look at Melissa''s injuries. Then his face turned
blue.
"Sheryl, when you were initially harsh to Aunt Melissa, I endure it. But now you are even trying to kill
her? I will not tolerate you anymore!" Le said menacingly.
Sheryl was speechless. Seeing how bad the situation was, there was nothing she could do to clear her
name. Helplessly, Sheryl looked at Charles for help, only to find him bowing his head. Obviously,
Charles didn''t believe her. If he did, he wouldn''t let Le insult her like this.
At that moment, Sheryl''s heart sank. Her eyes turned red, and her heart twisted.
"Charles, do you believe me?" Turning to Charles, Sheryl tried to keep her voice calm though her heart
was pounding.
She was worried that Charles might also say something to hurt her feelings. Did he not believe her?
Frowning, Charles said nothing.
