The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1682 Stain

Leila's words triggered Isla's anger. Just now, in front of Charles, she looked like she had been wronged. Now that Charles wasn't present, was she going to show her true self?

Thinking of that, Isla pointed at Leila and jeered, saying, "Aren't you afraid that I'll record how you're acting right now and send the video to Charles?"

"Do you really think that Charles would trust you? You're only a friend of his ex-wife, so why would he even talk to you?" Leila wore a contemptuous look on her face.

Upon hearing that, Isla couldn't help sneering to herself, and thinking, 'That's quite funny. Charles and Sheryl haven't even divorced yet. So, why is this woman so sure that they'll divorce? How can she already refer to Sheryl as Charles' ex-wife?'

The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became. When her fury was about to burst out, she raised her hand and slapped Leila on her face.

Leila didn't expect to be struck. For a moment, she was stunned; her eyes filled with disbelief. She raised her hand to fight back, but Isla grabbed her hand. "Do you want to try and fight back?" Isla sneered.

Leila's eyes widened in fear.

Isla knew that Leila wouldn't dare do anything to her, so she continued, "Just take a look at yourself. Even after Charles divorces Sheryl, do you really believe that he will choose to marry you?" "How do you know he wouldn't want to marry me?" Leila shot back.

She could feel her face burning. Even as she spoke, she could feel the pain. Leila knew she couldn't win against this woman in a physical fight. The only way to fight back was through words.

"I can say for sure that he wouldn't!" Isla's eyes were brimming with contempt. She even leaned forward to put her face in Leila's as she said that.

Isla's sudden action pressured Leila, making it hard for her to breathe. Leila wanted to get rid of Isla, but Isla tightened her grip on Leila's wrist, and she pressed even closer to her. "Let me go. If you don't, I'll call the security guard!" Leila exclaimed in irritation.

"Ha-ha, Leila, do you think they'll really do anything to me? They're men, and won't hit a woman. I'm not bothering you anyway. You can't prove that I am, and no one is going to help you!" Isla was amused by Leila's words. "Do you want to tell others that I was sexually harassing you?"

Isla burst into a loud peal of laughter.

Cassie was standing aside, watching the two of them as they fought. Afraid that Leila would get hysterical and do something crazy, she went up to them and pulled Isla's arm away. "Isla, let's just go now." "All right. I'll let you go today, Leila. I advise you to be more kind-hearted in the future, or else karma will get you!" After she gave Leila that warning, she pushed Leila's shoulder hard enough to make her fall to the ground.

After Cassie and Isla left, Leila slowly stood back up.

She had come to mess with Isla, but in the end, she was the one who lost. Feeling agitated, she took out her phone and called Holley.

"Do you know anyone who can do questionable things for money?" Leila asked immediately.

Holley hesitated for a few seconds before she answered by asking, "Why?"

"Do you know someone, or not?" Leila asked again in hurry.

Nodding her head, Holley answered, "Yes, I do. What is it that you want?"

"I want a woman to be beaten up. I can pay 100, 000 for it to be done!" Leila exclaimed as she gritted her teeth in fury.

Even though Leila had been jailed before, she had never been treated like that by anyone before. She wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Okay. I'll give you a number, and you can contact him yourself." Holley didn't want to get involved in the situation, so she decided to give Leila the contact and let her arrange it on her own.

Leila could hear that Holley didn't want to bear any responsibility for it. In her heart, she castigated Holley for being a coward but didn't say anything to her about it.

After getting the number, Leila hastily dialed it. The deal was quickly set with the man.

When everything was arranged, Leila heaved a sigh of relief.

"Isla, let's just see who wins this time!" she exclaimed aloud.

Feeling satisfied, Leila left the hospital.

Isla and Cassie gave Sheryl a call and found that she was also near the hospital.

When they met with Sheryl, they told her what had happened in the hospital. Worried, Sheryl asked, "Are you two okay?"

"Do you really think that I can't handle Melissa and Leila?" Isla questioned back, feigning a displeased look on her face.

Sheryl didn't know how she should answer. Despite the fact that Isla was good at arguing with others, she had to fight against three people in that situation. She was worried that Isla would get bullied. Once she left the hospital, she regretted not staying with Isla. Just now she actually decided to turn back when she got the call from Isla. It seemed that everything was fine now, and Sheryl felt more assured. "You're awesome!" Sheryl beamed at Isla to stop her from hassling her further.

"Sher, are you really going to have the divorce? Is there really no turning back?" Cassie asked Sheryl with a frown.

To Cassie, Sheryl seemed to be a perfect match to Charles. They matched each other in terms of social status, capabilities, personalities, and even appearance. It was shocking that they were going to have a divorce.

"Do you think that Sher really wants the divorce? If not for F-"

"All right, Isla. It's because of Leila!" When Isla was about to say Ferry's name, Sheryl cut her off.

After making sure that Isla shut her mouth, Sheryl continued to explain things to Cassie, "I don't want any strain between me and Charles. That's why I want the divorce. Don't worry, though. I'm fine!"

Isla realized that Sheryl didn't want anyone to know that she was being threatened by Ferry.

She felt that Sheryl shouldn't have to bear all that heartache on her own. If Charles did love Sheryl, why couldn't he protect her?

At that thought, Isla furrowed her eyebrows as she said, "Cassie, when are you meeting with Nick?"

After taking a look at her watch, Cassie suddenly sprang up.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late! I forgot the time, and I have to go now!" Cassie exclaimed in a hurry.

Sheryl and Isla nodded, signaling to her that they understood that she had to leave.

Cassie then rushed out of the cafe.

Now that there were only two of them, Isla gazed at Sheryl and spoke in a serious tone, saying, "I think you should tell Charles the truth."
