Chapter 576 A Fight


    "Sheryl!" Le shrieked out at the sight of Sheryl. Sheryl and her daughter were walking out of the


    hotel. Sheryl was taking Shirley out to grab some food. Watching Le striding towards her furiously,


    Sheryl stopped and stared at her puzzled. Le walked straight towards Sheryl and even before Sheryl


    could greet her shended a tight p on her face.


    Le''s p came as a hard blow on Sheryl as if she intended to take the life air out of Sheryl in that


    one blow.


    Sheryl sank to the ground. She waspletely bbergasted. "Sher..." Shirley cried out with a


    concerned look. Shirley knelt down immediately and tended to her mom who was bruised and swollen


    on her face. "Who are you? Why did you strike Sher?" she berated Le indignantly.


    "Shirley, I''m fine," Sheryl assured her daughter, as she just got over the shock. Sheryl patted Shirley to


    asked,"Miss Zhang, what are you doing?"


    "You know what you did. Do you need me to exin it to you?" Le sneered. "You should feel lucky I


    just pped you. I wish I could kill you now," she continued as she was still fuming and gritting her


    teeth.


    "Did I do anything wrong to you? Why did you hit me without a reason?" Sheryl snapped back with a


    frown. Sheryl stood straight and demanded an answer from Le. Sheryl was far from being a gullible


    girl who would take such bullies lying down.


    "Why the hell did youe back?" Le asked as she walked up to Sheryl slowly. Looking at Sheryl


    safe and sound, standing right in front of her eyes, she was trembling with rage. She literally wanted to


    disfigure her. "You could have stayed in America to lead a happy life. Why did you return to snatch my


    happiness? Since you came back, everything has changed. You have even turned my son against


    myself. What do you want?" she spoke, her voice trembling.


    "I have no idea what you are talking about," Sheryl replied. She knitted her eyebrows as she stated,"I


    never stole anything from you. Nor did I alienate Charlie from you. There must be some mistakes."


    "Mistakes?" Le snorted sharply. She turned to the passers-by and summoned loudly,"Everybody, this


    woman has her boyfriend and child. But she returned from abroad to steal away my man and son.


    Don''t you think she is a shameless woman?"


    Le was dejected andpletely broken as she went on venting out her anger on Sheryl. ''My son has


    deserted me, and my n to get married to Charles is also spoiled. I want her to pay for what she did


    to me. I will never forgive her, never, '' she resolved.


    By this time arge crowd had gathered around them. People started whispering to one another while


    pointing to Sheryl. Noticing the reproachful nces of the strangers, Sheryl felt embarrassed. Her face


    turned red. She held Shirley''s hand and said to Le,"Miss Zhang, don''t talk nonsense. I never did any


    of these. I will never admit anything I have not done."


    Le seized Sheryl''s hand tight and raised her other hand in an attempt to p Sheryl again. Little


    Shirley was watching the argument holding her mom''s hand. The moment Le raised her hand, she


    pounced on her and bit her hand hard. The bite was so hard that Le red at the little girl and


    pushed her away with the same hand while the other hand was still in the air.


    Sheryl was only worried about her daughter. She tried to shrug away from Le but her grasp was too


    tight to get freed so easily.


    Atst, she stopped struggling. ''It''s okay as long as Shirley is safe, '' she said to herself.


    Sheryl closed her eyes and held Shirley tightly with one hand as she waited for the strike. However,


    Le''s hand didn''t fall on her face. As she fluttered her eyes, she saw Anthony gripping Le''s hand.


    With a stern look, her boyfriend howled at Le,"Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here?"


    "Hi, Anthony," Le greeted with a crooked smile on her face. "Please keep an eye on your girlfriend.


    Don''t let her hook up with my man. You know what? She even hid my son," she continued.


    "Shut up!" Anthony yelled and red at her with furrowed brows. Then he turned towards Sheryl, and


    asked in a concern voice,"Are you alright, Sher?"


    "I''m fine," Sheryl replied. She stooped down and checked on her daughter. After making sure Shirley


    didn''t get injured, she stood up and exined to Le in a very calm voice,"Miss Zhang, I''m not going


    to repeat myself. I didn''t steal your man. Nor did I hide your son. If you continue to behave like this, I''ll


    call the police."


    Sheryl picked up her daughter. "Now that Charlie is missing, you should look for him. Why did you


    "He had never done this before. He never ran away from home before he met you. You must have said


    something to him. Otherwise he wouldn''t have left me," Le continued to me her. Pointing to


    Sheryl, she shrieked hysterically,"You are responsible for all this. It''s all your fault. You''re such a bitch."


    "Are you done now?" Anthony growled at Le. He snatched Le''s hand and shoved her away from


    Sheryl. "Get out of here right now. Or I''ll teach you a lesson," he threatened her.


    Le noticed Sheryl from a distance and thought that she might not have hidden Charlie. Still before


    walking away, she red at Sheryl furiously. "I''m warning you. If I find you have anything to do with


    Charlie''s disappearance, I will not spare you," she warned as she walked away.


    Sheryl turned her face away from Le and remained silent. As Le went out of sight, Anthony came


    closer to Autumn and tried to give her a hug just to make her feel safe andfortable. However,


    Sheryl walked away carrying Shirley in her arms. "I need some time alone," she said to Anthony.


    Anthony nodded his head in agreement. Sheryl carried her daughter inside the hotel. Anthony


    observed the receding figure of Sheryl and felt miserable for the humiliation she had suffered. The


    more he thought about it, the more furious he became. Basking in rage, he drove straight to Shining


    Company. He held Charles responsible for the entire debacle.


    ''I must meet Charles and warn him to stay away from Sheryl, '' he told himself.


    He barged into thepany. Before reaching Charles'' office, he was stopped by David. "Hello sir, do


    you have an appointment? If not, pleasee here another day. Our CEO is busy now," David said to


    him politely.


    "Charles, I need to see you," Anthony shouted looking towards Charles'' office. With a sniff, he


    continued,"If you''re a man, juste out. You said you love her. Is this how you love her? How can


    you allow her to be bullied like this?"


    Charles got really miffed to hear the loud noise inside his office. He recognized Anthony''s voice. He


    opened the door and said to David,"Let hime in."


    "But..." David uttered in hesitation. ''This man looks hostile to Mr. Lu. What if he hurts my boss? How


    can I let him in?'' he looked troubled as he thought.


    "Just let him in. It''s okay," Charlesmanded. Charles was really looking forward to meeting Anthony.


    He could not wait to get the opportunity to make it clear to Anthony that his wife belonged to him no


    matter if she had forgotten her past and embraced a new name and identity.


    Following Charles''s orders, though with a hesitation, David moved aside and made way for Anthony to


    go inside Charles''s office. Fuming with anger, Anthony stepped into Charles''s office and mmed the


    door behind him. As impatient as Charles was to meet him, Anthony also could not wait any longer to


    get even with him. The moment the two came face to face with each other, Anthony blew a punch on


    Charles''s face.


    Charles dodged his attack briskly. "Thank you for looking after my wife and child these years. But now I


    will take care of them," he spoke in a very cool voice.


    "Stop it!" a panic-stricken Anthony shouted as he came over to Charles. He could not understand why


    Charles still behaved in such aposed manner after his wife had left him for so many years.


    ''Isn''t he supposed to break down? Isn''t he supposed to be exasperated and heartbroken? Why is he


    still confident that Sheryl wille back to him?'' Hundreds of questions ran back and forth in his mind,


    making him puzzled and frustrated all the more.


    Anthony was oblivious of the time Charles had spent in despair without Autumn. But Charles would


    never show the delicate side of his mind to his rival.


    "You''re such a bastard!" Anthony sneered, as he gnashed his teeth. As he spoke, he came at Charles


    and attacked him with full strength. Ovee with hatred and anger, he had no choice but to beat up


    Charles to vent his feelings.


    Charles avoided his attack at first. But noticing Anthony was serious, he decided not to dodge


    anymore. The two men were caught into a fierce fight in a matter of few seconds beating, punching,
