His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1155 A Party Under Critical Circumstances

'All I really want is a stable and peaceful life. Why is it so hard for me to achieve?

If the hardship at the beginning of our marriage was a kind of chastening experience, what about now?

Why won't God just let me be? Even after I changed my name, God still keeps tormenting me. Have I

really done something wrong?' Sheryl fell into deep thoughts.

"Don't try to speak to me in a pitiful tone. I'm not my son. I won't be captivated by your charming

words!" Melissa cried out. She was hysterical, resentful and helpless.

"Yes, Mom. Since you are already aware that your son is captivated by me, I think it would be better for

you to treat me appropriately. Be careful, or else I might end up speaking ill of you during a leisurely

pillow talk. He will hate your guts forever." Sheryl did not mean any of that. It was temporary anger. She

was trying to frighten Melissa into submission so that she wouldn't try anymore tricks on her.

She could not stand how domineering Melissa was. If everything worked out fine because of a little

blackmailing, then this was the best way to see it through.

"Sheryl, you are more vicious than I thought. Previously, I thought that you were just a bitch who was

good at disguising yourself, but you are far more than that. I never expected that you would blackmail

me into listening to you!" Melissa shouted.

She was afraid now. After all, she was aware of the position Sheryl had in her son's heart. She knew

that if Sheryl really wanted to get rid of her, she could just easily poison Charles' mind against her. And

her son would alienate her!

She thought back to what had happened last time when her son insisted on moving out of Dream

Garden. She was well aware that that was Sheryl's intention.

The truth was that her son would follow Sheryl to the ends of the world, and it terrified Melissa.

Raising her head, she checked the calendar behind the clock. Melissa calmed down and she felt more

at ease.

Just a couple more days, someone was going to give her a hand. She bet that Sheryl would not be so

arrogant at that time. "All right, since you give me no choice, I have nothing else to say. I'll come with

you if that's what you want!" Melissa scoffed.

Sheryl had no clue what was going on in Melissa's mind at that moment. But she was willing to come

home with her. She finally completed the task which Charles had given her.

As for what Melissa was plotting, she chose not to care about it right now. She was aware that even if

she managed to figure out what was on her mind, she would only end up getting upset by the answer.

So she chose not to think about it and be the fool who did not know anything from the beginning.

Sometimes, it was better to be a fool than be someone who knew everything. It was much more

peaceful that way.

"Let's go." Sheryl stood at the door and waited for Melissa to pack up.

She wanted to help her pack. But on second thoughts, Melissa had a grudge against her. No matter

what she did, she wouldn't appreciate her sincerity. Rather than have a try, it was really better to do

nothing.

Charles was not yet back when they arrived at Dream Garden.

Sheryl only knew that Charles had a social engagement that day, but did not know that it was, in fact,

related to Tarsan Corporation.

When he had talked to the police, Charles found out that Rachel had moved swiftly. She had already

made a deal with Duncan and had asked him to be the scapegoat for her.

Even though Duncan was fine being her obedient slave, Charles wasn't the same as him.

Rachel had left the city three years back. And she dealt Sheryl a head-on blow as soon as she had

come back. Charles had to get back at her for what she had done to his wife.

Otherwise, he would forever feel like he had wronged Sheryl.

So, the social engagement that was taking place was planned by Charles, exclusively for Rachel.

With the power he had in Y City, he invited almost half of the business big shots. Rachel had planned

not to attend as she was aware that Charles was aiming at her.

However, considering that she had not yet built good connections in the business field since Tarsan

Corporation had moved to Y City, she couldn't just reject the invitation.

She was struggling, not knowing what to do.

Of course, she wasn't the only one. There was one other who was caught up in the struggle—Holley.

"Tell me what I should do now. I should not have listened to your idea. Why did you have to make it

such a big deal? Sheryl is completely all right now, but Charles is going to blame everything on us

anyway. Holley, tell me what I should do!" Rachel cried out in despair.

Rachel was that kinda person; she kicked everyone down the ladder. She had treated Holley like a

good friend when she was being useful, but she burnt the bridge when Holley's idea hadn't worked as This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

she had expected.

"Ms. Bai, the last thing you should do is lose your cool. If you don't stay calm, you'll expose yourself

easily. So instead of going hysterical here, you might as well go to the dinner party with your party face

on," Holley said, controlling her own anger. She was already very upset and Rachel had come over to

vent her anger. Holley hated Sheryl more than ever at that moment.

'We were given birth by the same person. Why does everything always go so smoothly for Sheryl? Why

did she get the best of everything? Why?' Holley couldn't accept the cruel fate.

Even when Sheryl was on the horns of dilemma, Charles helped her extricate herself from the difficult

situation by turning the crappy leads into good evidence. He turned things around for her.

'Why?!' she screamed inside.

"But if I go, Charles will definitely corner me. He might even deal a heavy blow to Tarsan Corporation

with his power. What should I do?" Rachel whined. Just a moment ago, she was so arrogant. Now she

was seeking advice from Holley again.

"Ms. Bai, it's not as bad as you think. Even though Charles knows what happened, he has no proof that

you had anything to do with the incident," Holley comforted her, calmly.

"Never mind about the evidence! He knows everything! He can easily have all the businesses in Y City

isolate Tarsan Corporation with a single word. We'll incur huge losses if that happens!"

Tarsan Corporation was Rachel's last card. Duncan could have helped her deal with the business if he

was still around. Rachel had no experience in managing a company.

The former CEO, her husband, was dead, and she then became the CEO.
