His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1149 Isla's Explanation

Rachel's promise was a temptation that Duncan couldn't resist. He attached more importance to his

son's future than money. It was a bribery he couldn't refuse.

Rachel filled in Holley about her visit to Duncan and their conversation. Having learnt about their deal,

Holley smiled in delight. 'Sheryl messed up my life. Now it's my turn.

This is just the beginning. I will take everything away from her, bit by bit, ' Holley resolved.

"I see. Congratulations, Ms. Bai. Once Duncan insists that you have nothing to do with the kidnapping,

neither the police nor Charles can do anything to associate you or Tarsan Corporation to the incident,"

Holley said with a contented smile on her lips.

"I am really looking forward to seeing Sheryl make a fool of herself in the public eye. Wherever she

goes, people will judge her and spread rumors about her."

"That's exactly what I want. She ruined my happiness. Now it's time for her to be miserable!" Rachel

said with a loud laugh. She was in a good mood.

It had been a long time since she had had a good laugh.

She was very satisfied at how everything had turned out.

"Cheers!" Rachel toasted in high spirits as she raised her glass. 'What a day! What a memorable night!

I'm not going back home till I am drunk as hell, ' she screamed excitedly in her head.

"Cheers!" Holley echoed, laughing heartily as she raised her glass of wine.

They clinked their glasses, and the two grinned from ear to ear.

"Do you think Sheryl will go to her company tomorrow?" Holley asked after she had downed several

glasses of wine.

"Who cares? But I don't think she will leave home for the next few days. She is not that stupid," Rachel

said in a defiant tone.

"Hmm...I don't think so. Cloud Advertising Company is falling apart at the moment. If she doesn't show

up, her company could be shut down permanently," Holley retorted, shaking her head. "I am sure she

will go tomorrow."

She paused and looked at Rachel. "I was wondering if you'd like to join me and see something

interesting tomorrow?" Holley asked in a mysterious tone.

"Sure, I'd love to. What is it?" Rachel asked curiously.

"You will have to wait until tomorrow to find out," Holley laughed without revealing the answer.

"I can't wait to see it," Rachel said, full of excitement.

It was not until past midnight that Sheryl had finally fallen asleep. She slept soundly and had good

dreams. Only in her dreams could she forget about all those unpleasant things that were happening in

her life.

While she was sleeping, Charles was still busy in his study fixing the monitor. Eventually, he fixed it and

found the videos he was looking for.

Fixing his eyes on the screen, he went through the videos one by one and copied some relative clips

which contained visuals of his children and the kidnapper.

It was a complex task going through each and every video.

But Charles didn't mind because he had a goal. He wanted to finish all of this as soon as possible. He

was doing it for himself, Sheryl and their children. He stayed up the whole night.

When Sheryl woke up the next morning, she didn't see Charles in the room. So she headed for the

study. To her surprise, he was still working on those videos. "Didn't you sleep at all last night, honey?"

Sheryl asked, concerned.

"Morning, sweetie. It's almost done," Charles said tenderly, rubbing his drowsy eye.

"You must be tired. Take a break and get some sleep," she urged with knitted brows. She felt her heart

sink at how exhausted Charles looked.

"I'm fine. How come you are up so early?" he asked.

"I have been away from the company for a while now. Isla said that Cloud Advertising was in a dire

crisis. I need to go back to work. Otherwise, all the staff will leave," Sheryl explained.

She wasn't certain if Charles would go along with her decision.

After what had happened at the press conference yesterday, Sheryl was in bigger trouble than before

and people might say things in front of her.

"Are you sure?" Charles asked, looking at her. His reaction caught Sheryl by surprise. She had thought

that he might try and stop her from leaving.

"Yes, I am. I can't stay home forever," Sheryl replied, determined to face the adversities.

After going through all this crisis, she learned a very important lesson. She decided not to care what

others thought about her or spoke of her.

She hadn't done anything wrong, and her conscience was clear. Now that she could do nothing about

her awkward situation, she should learn to live with it and be strong.

At the moment, her family and career were the two things that she cared about most. Since she had

gotten her children back, she planned to focus on solving her problems in her company. As for Melissa,

she intended to deal with her later once she moved back home and got her into some new trouble.

The most important thing for her was to resolve the crisis her company was facing.

"Okay. Since you have decided to go, I won't stop you. I like your optimism, and it is when you face

some crisis like this that you identify those people who you can truly trust. After all, only those who are

loyal to you will stay in the company after what has happened," Charles said. He wanted her to go out

and face the world this time. There was no use of hiding anymore.

Sheryl's emotions were complex. But in general, she was glad that Charles was being positive.

When Sheryl got to the company, there were only a few staff sitting in their respective seats, and they

were not doing their jobs.

Some were doing their make-up, some were having breakfast and others were sleeping at their desks.

She stood at the entrance, her feet glued to the ground.

When Isla came out of her office, she saw the scene in front of her. Going ballistic, she chided, "Look at

you! Do you have any idea what situation we are in right now?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"You can't blame us, Isla. We want to work hard too, but our boss has disappointed us. What's the point

of us doing our jobs? We are going to lose our jobs soon anyway," a two-faced female employee said

in a plaintive tone as she walked towards Isla.

"What are you talking about? I don't want to hear this again or you will face the consequences," Isla

warned in a loud voice. The girl's remark infuriated her beyond words.

"I don't care what others say. But I won't allow you to talk shit about Sher in this office. She was set up.

She is not that kind of person," Isla defended her friend. As a matter of fact, she had been repeating

those words to anyone she had come across in the last few days. But no matter what she said, no one

believed her.

People only believed what they saw with their own eyes.
