Chapter 1120 The Oue


    Considering Sheryl''s attitude, I didn''t think it necessary to console her any further. But she still chose


    to tell her about all the issues that were going on so that she could make a calcted decision.


    "I know. Just do as I''ve advised. I want to see their true faces too and this is a good chance to find out,"


    Sheryl said with a withdrawn scoff.


    "All right. I will go ahead with it first thing in the morning," I confirmed.


    After their talks about business were done, I shifted to the next big problem. "Sher, what about the


    scandal? Those pictures have spread all over the city. It''s the only thing everybody is talking about."


    "Charles is dealing with it for me." Sheryl considered for a while and asked, "Did someone from Tarsan


    Corporatione to ourpany again?"


    "Of course not. Since you are facing such a scandal, they must beughing at us secretly. How could


    they possibly have the guts to show their faces to us now after what they had done?" I said,


    discontent evident on her face.


    "We can''t ept that. We have finished their nning ording to their requirements, but they haven''t


    paid us the remaining fee. They can''t break their deal."


    I didn''t think that Sheryl would be concerned about the money which was due when she was in all


    this trouble.


    "Sher, you shouldn''t be worried about the remaining fee in such a crucial moment. The only thing you


    should care about right now is your personal matter." I looked confused with Sheryl''s style of


    thinking.


    "No I, businesses first. After that, I will deal with my personal enmity with Tarsan Corporation,"


    Sheryl ordered in a stern tone.


    I was impressed by Sheryl''s will. "You''re right. But Sher, you shoudn''t go out for a while. The


    reporters and the crazy online users won''t let you unscathed if they get a hold of you," I reminded


    her. Although she knew that Sheryl was brave, I was still concerned for her safety.


    "I won''te out until I am proved innocent."


    "Good. It''s gettingte, I better leave now. I''ll deal with all the business stuff in thepany so that you


    don''t have to worry about it. Stay here and spend some quality time with rk and Shirley," I said


    with a smile.


    "Thank you, I." She felt warm after hearing I''s caring words.


    It was past one o''clock at night when I finally left Dream Garden. Most people in Y City had fallen


    asleep. Lying in bed, Sheryl tried to force herself to sleep.


    Meanwhile Rachel had be more anxious since the rapture in the beginning. She couldn''t sleep, so


    she got up and dialed Holley''s phone number.


    Holley was fast asleep when she was violently shaken awake by her loud ringtone.


    She got up in a hurry and checked the name on the screen. She was irritated and wanted to disconnect


    the call immediately.


    ''Damn it! Does she have no sense of time?'' she gritted her teeth in frustration. Considering that Rachel


    was still useful to her in many ways, Holley refrained her anger and took a deep breath.


    "Hello, Ms. Bai." Holley picked up the phone just when Rachel thought that it wouldn''t go through.

    "Sorry to bother you, Holley. I called you because I was feeling restless," Rachel said in a rushed tone.


    Holley was very disappointed with Rachel. She was too quick to get anxious without considering


    whether the matter was worth worrying about or not. Moreover, it was reallyte. It was nothing that


    they couldn''t discuss in the morning.


    But Holley didn''t show any of her discontent to Rachel. She modted her voice to a friendly tone and


    said, "Oh, Ms. Bai. Never mind that.


    We are friends and you can call me any time. What is troubling you?"


    Her soft voice was a sharp contrast to her exasperated mood on the inside.


    "Oh, it''s about Sheryl. She still hasn''t exined to the public about the scandal. People will lose their


    interest for it as time goes on." Rachel was concerned that the scandal wouldn''t cause any adverse


    effect on Sheryl.


    "And what''s more, this issue seems to have done no harm to her rtionship with Charles. It''s like he


    doesn''t care about the scandal!" More than the general public''s reaction, she was more concerned


    about Charles'' reaction towards Sheryl''s cheating ways.


    "Ms. Bai, this is all just your imagination. You don''t need to worry about Sheryl. Even though Sheryl


    gets through all the usations without giving an exnation, she will still be affected by it. And even if


    this news about her gets cold as time goes by, people will still talk about it as long as she shows up


    once again in public, and it will be her sign of shame forever.


    And how do you know that Mr. Lu''s attitude towards Sheryl hasn''t changed? Did you see him stay close


    to her after the scandal came out?" Holley paused for a moment and continued, "You know that Mr. Lu


    is a prestigious man.


    For a man like him, saving face is most important at a time like this. His reaction, orck thereof, is just


    his trying to preserve face to avoid being embarrassed.


    Maybe his attitude towards her at home is totally different from what he has shown in public. Maybe he


    hates her with all his heart now."


    Holley tried her best to console Rachel. Honestly, she didn''t give a damn about Charles'' feelings. She


    only wanted to get back to sleep soon.


    Holley didn''t want to burn her calories worrying about Charles and Sheryl''s rtionship. It was a bit


    early to see the final result.


    At least, Holley was confident that Sheryl had received a devastating blow through this event.


    "You are right. I shouldn''t be deceived by the calm in the surface. A man like Charles could never stand


    being cheated on!" Rachel felt reassured after hearing Holley''s determined words.


    "This scandal has nted a seed in Charles'' heart, and it will grow until it creates huge trouble in his


    rtionship with Sheryl."


    "That''s right, Ms. Bai," said Holley. She was tired and wanted to get back to sleep.


    "I feel reassured now. I am sorry for having bothered you, Holley. You can go back to sleep," Rachel


    apologized, feeling guilty now.


    "You don''t have to apologize for this trivial matter. We are good friends, and it''s my pleasure to be the


    shoulder for you to lean on during troubled times. I''m willing to talk to you for the whole night if that''s


    what you need to rx," Holley said with a fake smile.


    Rachel was delighted to hear that and hung up after saying goodbye to her.
