Chapter 1740 She Lost Faith In Him
All of a sudden, the color drained out of Melissa''s face, and her face became as white as paper. "What
do we do, Le!? We can''t let Sheryl get in the way! We can''t!"
Melissa repeated her own words, panic-stricken, and lost in thought.
Le smiled mildly, careful not to let Melissa see it. This was what Le had wanted to happen.
"Don''t worry, Aunt Melissa. Whether we can seed this time really depends on you. Sheryl is forcing
Charles to agree to a divorce, and Charles keeps putting it off. The only way to solve the problem now
is to pretend to be sick again, and this time, say that you''re sick because of Sheryl. Then you can ask
Charles to choose between you and Sheryl. I am pretty sure that he will choose you over her, and he''ll
have no other choice but to sign the divorce papers."
To Le, Melissa pretending to be sick again was the only way. They had to force Charles to make a
decision, and after what they had already tried, things were urgent. Charles was so indecisive, and he
needed someone to push him.
"Sure. I''ll do that."
Melissa waspletely at a loss and alsopletely desperate. She would say yes to whatever Le
told her. She believed that Le was the only person who could help her fix this dilemma.
Gradually, Melissa calmed down as Le continued tofort her.
In the Cloud Advertising Company
Sheryl couldn''t focus on her work at all. She knew that Charles had gotten the summons. She checked
her phone from time to time. She waited and waited some more, expecting him to call her. But he did
not call her, nor did he leave her a text message. She felt like her faith in him had been fading, little by
little. Maybe it was time to let gopletely.
It was the most typical thing that women did. Even though they were the ones who wanted the divorce
and who signed the papers, they would always hope that their husbands would beg them to stay and
forget about all their troubles.
And that, in truth, was what Sheryl was hoping for. Although she had no choice but to divorce Charles,

given her current situation and Ferry''s threat, she still hoped that Charles would call her. But, she had
waited such a long time, and her patience was wearing out. No word could describe how depressed
she felt.
Eventually, she gave up.
In order to distract herself, Sheryl walked out of her office and walked over to Phoebe''s desk, where
she took some of the files and documents thaty on top.
"President Xia, this is my work. How could I ask you to do my work for me?" Phoebe asked, surprised.
What Sheryl did next surprised her even more. Sheryl smiled at her and told her, "That''s fine. Just let
me help you. I don''t have much work to do right now."
Phoebe immediately understood what had happened. She knew that Sheryl had a lot of going ontely
because of Charles.
Sheryl used to upy most of her time with work. However, in the second half of this year, everything
started to go smoothly in thepany, which left Sheryl with nothing to do. She suddenly had a lot of
time to think about Charles.
Phoebe understood that once Sheryl started to be idle, she would immerse herself in sorrow again. No
wonder she was trying to take over her work.
"Okay, President Xia. Just wait a second. Let me check if anything needs your signature, and I''ll send it
to your office, right away," Phoebe said, feeling embarrassed.
She walked Sheryl back to her office, and when she returned to her desk, instead of checking her files
like she said she would, she called I.
I was at the airport, waiting for a flight to Turkey when she heard her phone ringing. She fished it out
and checked the caller ID. She was rather surprised to see that Phoebe was calling, and she couldn''t
help but wonder if something had happened to Sheryl.
"Phoebe, what''s wrong? Is something wrong with Sheryl?" I asked, her voice full of worry.
Phoebe nced towards Sheryl''s office. When she was sure that Sheryl wouldn''t leave, she lowered
her voice. "President Zhao, I don''t know what''s going on with President Xiately. She''s always trying
to find herself work to do. Just now, she tried taking some of my files. What should I do?"
Feeling hopeless, Phoebe didn''t have a clue as to how to handle the situation. If she did, she wouldn''t
be bothering I, who was supposed to be enjoying her break.
I furrowed her brows. She thought about all that could be wrong with Sheryl. Finally, she concluded
that Sheryl was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Leave it to me, Phoebe. I will call her." Then she hung up.
I only became more worried after hanging up. After a few minutes, she dialed Sheryl''s number.
In her office, Sheryl waited eagerly for the files from Phoebe, so she didn''t expect a call from I.
Looking at I''s name on her phone, she immediately knew what happened. Phoebe must have called
I. Sheryl furrowed her brows and stared at her screen. Then she picked up.
"I, aren''t you flying to Turkey? Why are you calling me now?" She acted as though nothing had
happened.
Sheryl had Face Timed with Ist night, so she knew I''s schedule. She should be boarding now.
She couldn''t help but feel sad and guilty, as she felt like she had ruined I''s trip.
"Are you forcing Charles again?" I asked, disregarding Sheryl''s question.
Sheryl pursed her lips and took a deep breath. "Uh huh."
I could tell by her voice that she did not want to talk about it, and she didn''t want to force her to talk
about it. Instead, she reminded Sheryl not to take Phoebe''s work because it would only embarrass her.
If Sheryl really couldn''t find anything to do, then she could go back home and spend more time with her
children.
Sheryl sighed. She knew that I was right. She knew that it embarrassed Phoebe. She nced over
at Phoebe''s desk through her office window and found that she was looking over from time to time.
She understood what I meant, so after she got off the phone, she stood and walked over to
Phoebe''s desk. Before she could say anything, Phoebe spoke, "President Xia, I-I haven''t…"
"Calm down, Phoebe. I just wanted to tell you that I''m leaving now. Call me if anything happens."
Sheryl smiled. Then she walked to the elevator.
Phoebe watched Sheryl walk away from her. She was worried about her. She opened her mouth, but
nothing came out.
Sheryl drove back home immediately. She wanted to give her kids a surprise, and so she would wait for
them at home.
In the Dream Garden
Charles had gone back home with Le as usual. But then he got the summons from the court. Since
then, he barely spoke a word, and his face was dreary. Neither Melissa nor Le dared to say anything,
afraid that they would hurt Charles'' feelings.
While at dinner, he found an excuse to leave the table.
"Aunt Melissa, I''m going with Charles. Wait for us at home," Le said as she quickened her pace,
trying to catch up to Charles.
Before Melissa could say anything, Le had disappeared after Charles. Melissa shook her head and
swallowed her words.
Le didn''t dare catch up to him only to ask where he was going. Instead, she followed behind him
sneakily. Charles went to a bar, and Le followed him inside. Somehow, she felt like this was the
perfect opportunity.
Once she was inside, Le found the bartender and gave him some money, asking him to rece all
Charles'' orders with really strong and hard liquor. Le swore she would make the best use of this
situation to ruin Charles'' rtionship with Sherylpletely.
For the next three hours, Charles drank non-stop, and by the time that he was heading home, he was
stumbling.
Le gave money to the bartender again, asking him to find someone to take Charles home. After all, a
weak woman like her couldn''t carry Charles home, especially when he was drunk.
