His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1162 Get Some Problems At Work

Sheryl walked towards Nancy's hospital bed. As she approached, her mind was filled with a lot of

hesitation. With a soft smile, Sheryl asked, "How are you, Nancy? Are you feeling any better?" Sheryl's

voice was low with a tinge of guilt. She gazed at the soothing smile on Nancy's face and felt the sting in

her heart once again for having suspected her for the abduction of the kids.

"I'm fine. The doctor came by and said I would get better soon. All I need is a good rest for a couple of

days. I know you are too busy these days. Thank you for dropping by," Nancy replied politely.

She had learnt about Clark's and Shirley's abduction. When she thought of the two kids, she felt guilty.

She had failed to protect them, after all. If anything bad had happened to them, she could never have

been able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"You are being too formal to me, Nancy. I'm glad to hear that you are getting better," Sheryl said with a

slight smile. She understood why Nancy suddenly turned so formal and courteous.

"She needs to stay here for another two days. If everything is okay with her, she will be released." A

nursing assistant who was responsible for attending to Nancy came in with a tray in her hands. She

gazed at Nancy tenderly and then turned towards Sheryl. When she spoke, the joy in her voice touched

both Nancy and Sheryl with a lot of positivity.

"That's good," Sheryl observed with relief. "After you are discharged from the hospital, please go home

and take some rest. When you feel that you are absolutely fit, you can join back to work."

"I will. Thank you, Sher," Nancy expressed her gratitude again. Every time Nancy thanked Sheryl or

expressed concern about the kids, Sheryl could not help feeling guilty. "Did those bad guys get

caught?" Nancy sounded concerned. 'Now that the kids have been rescued, the kidnappers should be

arrested and the main criminal who was behind all this should also be put behind bars and punished, '

she thought.

"Yes. They had taken the mastermind behind the abduction under police custody. But his companions

are still on the run," Sheryl blurted out the fact.

"So not all the bad guys got arrested?" Nancy asked with disappointment. Nancy's face grew grim as

she thought of the culprits roaming free. But considering the case was closed since the prime culprit

had been put behind bars, she was much relieved. Drawing a smile, she continued, "At least the one

who organized the crime got busted."

"Don't worry, Nancy. The kidnappers will be arrested very soon. None of them will be able to get away

with it," Sheryl assured Nancy in a firm and confident tone. Nancy smiled back at Sheryl reassuringly.

Everyone who was involved in kidnapping the kids would be punished without any respite. And there

were no two ways to it.

"I agree with you," Nancy replied politely. The entire family had gone through a very tough time in the

last few days. Only when each and everyone involved in it from start to finish was handcuffed and

adequately punished, would the Lu family and their well-wishers be at peace.

When Sheryl and Isla walked out of the hospital, dusk fell quietly. The setting sun spreading it crimson

hue through the sky, pale golden lined clouds hanging there adding to the ethereal view. Looking at the

tangerine sky, Isla reached out her hands and sighed, "People always say that the setting sun is

beautiful. Why didn't I find it before?"

"Come on, Isla, what are you trying to say?" Sheryl responded with a surprised look. Staring at the

emotional Isla, Sheryl understood her feelings. Isla had been a real life support for her and Charles

through thick and thin. Isla felt really relieved that they could come out of the ordeal.

"Nothing. I am just happy for you," Isla replied with a smile. Ignoring Sheryl's stare, she embraced the

picturesque scene as she continued, "If anything had happened to Nancy, you would have been feeling

guilty. But now that she is getting better, it's good news. Don't you think so?"

"You're right. Although the kidnappers are still on the run, they will be caught sooner or later. At that

time we can relax. At least, people I care about are safe and they are with me. As for those bad guys, I

will leave them to the police. We should live in the moment and be happy," Sheryl returned flatly. Sheryl

seemed to have toughened a lot in the last few days. More than anything else, she had all her loved

ones around her. She had her friend right beside her. She was thankful than ever before.

Although Sheryl knew that Rachel and Holley had something to do with the abduction, she had no

intention of wasting time and energy dealing with them. Instead, she resolved to stay away from them

and wanted to focus on her company and family.

"Yes, you are right. How about we go for dinner?" Isla reminded as she noticed that Sheryl was in a

good mood.

"Oh, yeah, let's go." With a smile, she said, "Since you have arranged everything for me, I can't miss

the appointment. Right?"

"Of course. You have a point," Isla responded, as she laughed loudly. She had planned to enjoy a

luxurious meal since it was Sheryl's treat. As she stopped laughing, she suggested, "It's almost time

now. I told them to be there after they get off work. Let's get going."

"Okay," Sheryl replied as she glanced at her wristwatch. 'It's almost 6 p.m. When we get there, the rest

of them are supposed to be there too, ' she speculated.

Sheryl was going to dine with her employees cheerfully. While it was a bonding time at Sheryl's office,

Charles got some problems at work.

He did get some serious issues in his company.

Although it was unbelievable for such a big company with such strong goodwill in the market, it did

happen. Some of his old clients proposed to terminate their cooperation with him. They declared that

they didn't want to continue to work with Shining Company. When he inquired about the reason for their

decisions, they faltered and didn't say anything.

And so did the Zhang Group and Silver Corporation.

The two big enterprises didn't dare to offend Shining Company. They both explained that there were

some problems with their new contracts with Shining Company for the second half of the year and they

needed to make some changes before handing them to Charles.

Charles understood that this time was not going to be easy. Had this happened in the past, Charles

wouldn't have suspected that something was fishy. But things got different now. Tarsan Corporation had

just set foot in Y City, and its president Rachel had tasted her first failure in her attempt to set up

Sheryl. She was not going to take this lying down.

Charles knew that Rachel hated Sheryl and she wanted to take revenge on her. After Rachel tried to

destroy Sheryl, Charles made it clear to the entire business community that whoever dared to work with

Tarsan Corporation was going to be his enemy.

Charles had a very clear intuition about what was going on.

Rachel, on the other hand, was seething in anger. She could not accept her failure. Besides, Charles

had humiliated her on purpose which had infuriated her all the more. Hence she had planned to take all

the clients away from Shining Company.

Shining Company was the biggest enterprise in the industry, so every big and small organization

wanted to partner with them. However, the advent of Tarsan Corporation was posing a befitting This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

competition to them. The monopoly of Shining Company was challenged as the clients had nothing to

lose even if they did not work with them.

Charles was aware of all the changing dynamics in the industry as well as the reason behind the

changes. He was sure that Tarsan Corporation had its hand behind the long business associations of

Shining Company falling apart.

At the same time, he knew Rachel very well. She was extremely adroit in manipulating and bribing the

clients for her own benefit. If she hadn't whored herself out to them, the clients would not have had the

nerve to go against Shining Company.

He despised the unethical business practices that Rachel employed in order to get her way out. It was

intolerable for him to withstand her audacity to steal his clients.

'I can't let her get what she wants. She thought her company could replace mine with those dirty

business practices. It's ridiculous! I will show her who the real boss is!' he thought.

"David, call up Silver Corporation's CEO Lance. Tell him that I want to see him. And ask him when he is

free for the meeting," Charles instructed. His voice was hoarse and hardly capable to suppress the

anxiety.

David was stunned at the sound of his boss' voice.
