Chapter 907 A Phone Call


    "Sher, are you okay?" Sue anxiously asked. "Does it hurt?"


    "I''m okay," Sheryl answered her with a reassuring smile. Sue then heaved out a sigh of relief and said,


    "Thank God you''re okay."


    Laura was infuriated by the act made by the fat woman. "Anthony, call the police now. Let me see if the


    Anthony nodded and immediately took out his phone. The man on other side shrank back. He started


    pulling the woman''s sleeve and suggested, "Mom, I think we should leave now. If the police really


    "What are you scared of?" the woman eximed in a bitter tone. She waved her hand and responded


    with no remorse on her face, "They killed my daughter. I''m only trying to seek justice here. What''s


    wrong with that? Why do I have to leave?"


    "But…" the man contested. He again tried to persuade her to leave, but the woman refused to listen.

    She continued to curse Sue until the police stepped in. The woman rushed towards the policeman as


    soon as he appeared in her sight. She pointed a finger toward Sue and insisted that he should take


    actions to arrest her. "Sir, the younger brother of that woman murdered my daughter. My poor daughter


    was six-month pregnant. I didn''t even have the chance to see the little baby. He killed both his wife and


    his baby. Please, you have to help me."


    The woman started to cry out loud, "This family is not only covering a crime, but also trying to kill me.


    Please help me!"


    "Did you call the police?" the policeman asked as he was dazed by her acting. He looked at the


    woman, who continued to cry at the side as a man tried to soothe her.


    He knew the case as a quarrel when he was instructed to go there, but now it turned into a criminal


    case.


    "It''s me," Anthony spoke from the back, his face devoid of any emotion. A crowd began to build up


    because of the show the woman had created. Anthony made his way to approach the policeman to


    exin.


    "Sir, please listen to me," he started. But the woman got hold of the policeman''s arm. She continued


    clinging to him and wouldn''t let go. "They killed my daughter. You must seek justice for me."


    "Let go of me first." He gave the woman a helpless look. "Please, Madam." Then he turned to Anthony


    and said, "Let me hear your rification first. Then I will do what I should as a policeman."


    "Arrest them! Arrest them all!" the crazy woman screamed. "I want all of them to die!"


    "What is going on here?" The policeman finally gave up talking to the irrational woman. He turned


    again to Anthony to rify on what themotion was about.


    Anthony gave him a summary of the chain of events, as well as what had happened today. After the


    policeman got a general understanding of what was really going on, Anthony then proceeded to exin


    why he had called the police. "At first, I didn''t want to involve the police with our quarrel. But as you can


    see, we really can''t handle this woman anymore. She is making a mess here. My wife is pregnant and


    I''m worried that she will get hurt and traumatized. I have no choice but to seek your assistance. Please


    help us."


    "Alright, I get it." The policeman shot a glimpse at the woman. Though he could understand her pain in


    losing her daughter, what she was doing was totally was eptable. Acting like this would not bring her


    daughter back to life, and the real murderer would still be atrge. She was only calling for trouble.


    Luckily, she did not resolve to violence, and no one was hurt.


    "You guys,e to the police station with me," the policeman ordered as he pointed at the fat woman


    and her people. She was in a shock upon hearing what the policeman had said.


    "Why?" she demanded. Pointing at Sue, sheined, "Now, the aplice is right here. Shouldn''t


    you be arresting her? Why are you arresting me when I am the victim? Is this what an honorable


    policeman should do?"


    "I''m sorry, Madam," the policeman exined. "We will investigate your daughter''s case, and we


    promise to give you an update regarding her death. But you have vited the peace and order of the


    "I''m not going with you," she refused. She even sat on the floor to show her disagreement. To make the


    situation moreplicated, she even shouted manically to the crowd trying to gain the public''s


    sympathy and to escape the police''s order. "Take a look, everyone! This family is really something.


    They killed my daughter, and now for some reason, they even convinced the police to arrest me. Oh


    my poor daughter! Your mom is so useless, so pathetic! I don''t have the power to get the support from


    the police. I don''t know when the day of justice woulde! That''s so unfair. I''m so sorry for you, my


    dear daughter."


    She continued crying, cursing and screaming. Anthony''s family had known how mad this woman was


    and had gotten used to her crazy behavior. However, the policeman, who was supposed to solve the


    issue, felt embarrassed with the situation worsening even with his presence.


    Clearly, the policeman was just following the formalities, but the authority of the police was tantly


    ignored by this woman. Though she had a reason to be in pain, it was not an excuse to make an


    exhibition of herself in front of Xiao family, so the policeman still took her away in a forceful manner.


    Finally, there was peace.


    Sheryl sighed in relief after seeing the woman being taken away atst. ncing at Sue, she found her


    cue to leave. "Do take care of yourself. I really have to go now."


    "I will," promised Sue. "How is you back? Do you need some medicine?"


    "I''m fine," reassured Sheryl. "She is a a strong woman indeed, but it doesn''t matter."


    Sheryl started to leave. After she had taken a few steps, she seemed to have heard a faint "thank you"


    from Laura, which had her pause for a while. She stopped herself from turning around, instead she


    sped up and a trace of smile appeared on her lips.


    As soon as she reached home, I called her up with a big announcement. "Sher, your proposal was


    epted!" I could not contain the excitement in her voice.


    "Really?" Her voice was neither excited nor surprised, as if she had expected the result. "Good to hear


    that. Now that the proposal has been approved, we won''t be having that much problem anymore. We''ll


    just stick to our n and start to prepare for the wine party. I''ll be away for a business trip soon, so I will


    endorse everything to you during this period. If everything goes smoothly, I should still be able to attend


    it when Ie back."


    "Rest assured that you can count on me. You have already done the most difficult part. I can work out


    the rest from here," I replied in a confident tone. However, she still could not help but worry for


    Sheryl despite her overwhelming excitement. "Sher, about your business trip, please take care. For


    some reason, my heartbeat elerates as soon as I think of your trip. I feel like it''s some sort of a


    warning telling me that something bad might happen to you."


    "You are just thinking too much," Sheryl reassured her. "I know how to take care of myself. Don''t worry."


    She then ended the call.


    After packing all the things that she needed for the trip, she finally got to sit down and suddenly thought


    of Charles. He might be on this business trip as well.


    She only found out a few days ago, that the ce she was heading to, was the same venue where


    Charles was. She wondered if Charles would be surprised if she suddenly appeared in front of him.


    With this thought in mind, she couldn''t help but probe Charles about it.


    The phone didn''t even finish its first ring. The call was immediately picked up from the other side, and


    she couldn''t hide the joy in her voice when she asked, "Are you busy?"


    "Not really," his gentle voice replied. He usually projected a strong and powerful persona, but the


    moment he saw the number on his caller ID, he switched to this gentle and soft side. "Why do you


    suddenly think of calling me?"


    "I just want to check on how you''ve been doing," she exined. "I miss you. When are youing


    back?" Sheryl continued in a sweet tone.


    "I''ll be back after five days. When I''m back, I''ll go to the Zhao family house to meet you, okay?"


    "Okay," Sheryl agreed. "Then I''ll try my best to not disturb you for now. Let''s catch up when you''re


    back. Goodbye, honey."


    "Okay, sweetheart. Bye." Charles'' business partners were all ears to what just urred. After he hang


    up the call, he looked up at them and exined, "I''m sorry. It''s a call from my wife. Where were we just


    now? Let''s continue from where we left off."


    The people in the conference room were shocked to find this sudden switch in his personality. At work,


    Charles was always so firm and strong. Who would have thought that he would be as soft as a kitten in


    front of his loved one. The soft side he showed them was such a stark contrast to his usual self that


    caught everyone by surprise.
