The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1684 Filing For Divorce

Isla saw that Sheryl was in tremendous pain, and asked in a worried tone, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Isla, just leave Leila alone for now," Sheryl said with a serious expression, hoping that Isla would do what she said.

Isla burst into laughter. She gave a smile of utter contempt, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of that woman?"

"Isla, it's not out of fear. It's just not worth our time to deal with her." Nick saw Sheryl's pained expression, so he tried to intercede on her behalf to preserve the peace. "Well, we're okay now. If she causes more trouble, I won't spare her though." Isla knew that it was better for Sheryl if she let it go, so she chose to control herself.

Sheryl was worried about Isla, so she let Josef escort her back home.

After they left, Nick said, "Sher, don't worry. I'll go to the police station and handle everything."

"Don't push her hard. I worry that she'll do something more aggressive if things get worse. Just warn her to stop meddling."

Sheryl wasn't being merciful, but she had no time to fight with Leila, so she chose to reconcile instead.

"I understand, Sher, so don't worry. I'll help you go upstairs." Then, Nick helped Sheryl get upstairs. After Sheryl fell asleep, Nick went to the police station. The men had been sent to prison, so Nick waited for the police to take Leila.

After a while, Leila arrived.

"Did you set a trap to catch me?" Leila asked, pointing at his nose.

"Are you kidding? You're the one who plays such tricks," Nick accused with a contemptuous smile. He had no idea that Leila would choose to behave like that.

"Sir, he has something against me, so he plays awful tricks on me. I didn't do anything today, and I stayed at home all day. You can verify that any way you want. You can check my phone to see whether I called those men or not," Leila said in a very anxious tone.

The policeman looked at Leila and then turned to Nick. The he said, "You can leave now. We have taken the statements, so it's none of your business now. We'll handle it from here."

"No, I have to replace out who wanted to kill my sister. I must replace out who that person is," Nick said while staring at Leila in an accusing manner.

"Why are you staring at me? It's not me!" Nick was staring so intensely at her that Leila's expression became panicky.

"Well, we'll replace the truth eventually. We'll investigate it thoroughly. You just go back and wait for us to call." The policeman saw that they seemed about to begin fighting each other, so he asked Nick to go. Nick felt helpless, so he walked out of the police station, but he didn't leave yet. He remembered what Sheryl had said, so he waited for Leila.

After about one hour, Leila was quite absentminded as she walked out of the police station.

"Are you worried about getting in trouble for what you have done?" Nick saw Leila lower her head, so he strode out in front of her and barred her way.

Leila hadn't expected that Nick would have waited there for her until now. She raised her eyes and stared directly at him.

"Don't pester me!" Leila said furiously.

"Leila, listen, we didn't show the evidence to the police today, because my sister is kind. If you aren't grateful and continue to cause trouble, we won't be so merciful next time." Nick wasn't just threatening Leila -he meant what he said. Then, he took out some pictures and threw them at Leila.

Leila caught a glimpse of the photos. She suddenly felt panicked because the pictures had recorded that she made deals with those men. She never knew that they had been spied on during those deals. Leila was so unlucky. Nick had finally found a photographer to follow her, and by accident, he took the photos.

"You can see how serious we are now. We have enough evidence to put you in prison. You'd better stay quiet. If you take any further action against Sher or Isla, I'll show these pictures to Charles. You can guess what will happen then," Nick said, with confidence in his eyes.

Leila felt her throat tightened and couldn't utter any words in response.

Seeing her expression, Nick continued, saying, "You'd better conduct yourself better from now on."

As Nick left the police station, he felt confused. 'Why hasn't Sheryl shown those pictures to Charles? Leila would not have a fighting chance if she did, ' Nick thought to himself.

He couldn't understand it. He believed that, if Charles knew everything, including what had happened to Cassie, Leila would have to be sent away.

At that moment, Cassie called him. Nick shook his head and got rid of those ideas in his head.

"How is Sher?"

A few hours before, as Cassie was having dinner with Nick, she received Isla's call. Isla had said that she and Sheryl were being tracked. Cassie was so worried that she asked Nick to go help them. "Don't worry. It's all okay now, so I'll be heading back now."

"Okay!"

Hearing what he said, Cassie was relieved.

At the police station's gate, Leila picked up the pictures from the ground and got in a car.

Once she got into the car, Leila tore the photos into pieces.

Leila had been so furious that she had asked someone to beat Isla up. That decision got her found out and put a bargaining chip right into her enemy's hand. Leila got angrier and sped up.

She was careless this time around. She knew that she couldn't take any action against Isla. If she did, they would really expose the evidence against her. Then, she would have nothing to say to defend herself. Over the next few days, nothing happened.

Charles and Melissa got released from the hospital, but Sheryl didn't visit the hospital.

Sheryl was at the Cloud Advertising Company building now.

She was upset and couldn't focus on the contract. Then, she put it aside, pressed her hand to her forehead, and frowned while letting out a sigh.

Those days, there was no news from Charles, but Sheryl couldn't wait anymore. Ferry was in a hurry, but Charles didn't reveal what he had decided to do. She knew that she couldn't wait anymore. "Phoebe, come to my office," Sheryl called and asked Phoebe to come in.

After a moment, Phoebe knocked on the door and came in.

"Hello, what's up?" Phoebe stood in front of Sheryl and waited to hear what she wanted.

"Find the lawyer, and send Charles a letter about the situation. I'm going to file for divorce,"

Sheryl said calmly, and then she continued working.

Phoebe wondered whether she had misunderstood Sheryl's words, so she looked surprised.

After a moment, Sheryl saw that Phoebe had given no answer. She raised her eyes and looked back up at her. "Go now."

Sheryl knew what Phoebe was thinking, but she didn't want to explain it at all.

Phoebe gritted her teeth, and hesitated for a moment. Then she asked, "Ma'am, are you sure?"
