His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1337 Put Sheryl On The Spot

Noticing that Leila was on her side, Melissa became more impolite. She purposely knocked two dishes

that were on the counter cooked by Sheryl. Clink! Clank! Upon hitting the floor, the platters broke into

pieces, sounding like a strident alarm which made everyone in the living room feel nervous.

The dishes together with the shattered platters were scattered on the floor in a mess. Though the food

looked rather sumptuous, and they looked fine and delicate just now, but they were mixed up on the

floor, making people who set their eyes upon them lost their appetite.

"Sheryl, are you sure your dishes are not prepared for pigs? Cook for me again!" With a scolded

expression on her face, Melissa commanded Sheryl carelessly and rolled her eyes at her.

Upon hearing this, Sheryl just frowned instead of hasting her way to do what she had just ordered her

to do. Then she took her time and continued eating as if nothing had happened. It seemed that

Melissa's words didn't work with her at all.

Seeing her reaction, Melissa had never expected that Sheryl would totally ignore her. She was

completely irritated, and Sheryl hadn't noticed that she was having a hard time breathing.

Upon seeing Melissa's chest fluctuating violently, Leila stood up in haste and walked over to pat her

back, trying to help her calm down. 'Sheryl looks sarcastic today. Why doesn't she just leave after being

scolded by Melissa? Does she have any other intentions?' Leila frowned and thought in her mind.

Knowing her, Melissa believed Sheryl just embarrassed her on purpose. She wouldn't let that happen,

and to gain her face back, she stared at Sheryl angrily and continued, "Sheryl, can't you hear me? Are

you deaf?"

Echoing across the room, Melissa's voice was harsh in the open living room.

Still being relaxed, Sheryl answered without raising her head, "I heard you. So what?" From the way

she answered her question, both Melissa and Leila could tell that she was out of patience.

Being discredited again, Melissa rushed to Sheryl and shoved the plate where she was eating. The

plate went to the floor along with the food and condiments, shattered and scattered.

By doing that, she believed she could displease Sheryl this time. It was hard for anyone to stay cool on

such an occasion. Once Sheryl blamed her with all the mess, she could confidently tattle on her to

Charles, and he would definitely flush her out.

Upon hearing the sound of the plate being smashed, Nancy rushed out and pulled Sheryl behind her. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Looking at Nancy who stood before to protect her, Sheryl felt warm deep in her heart. 'Alas, there is

someone who treats me well in this house.'

Noticing that Nancy was about to retort Melissa, Sheryl tugged on her clothes from behind to hint her

that she was okay and there was nothing to worry about.

Used to all her maltreatments, Sheryl still didn't bother about Melissa seriously. She walked to the

kitchen without saying a word, filling another plate with rice and some viands by the counter and

returned to the table.

As she was about to sit and eat as if nothing had happened, Melissa suddenly swung her arm wide and

slapped her across the face. The slap was so harsh that Sheryl's face became red and started swelling

immediately.

Even Leila, who stood beside Melissa, didn't expect that. In her mind, she thought that something

worse was about to happen after the harsh slap.

'She has lost her patience. She will displease Charles after leaving such an obvious bruise on her face.

Sheryl can also gain Charles' sympathy with this bruise. Clever as she is, she will not let this chance

go, ' Leila thought anxiously.

Though Sheryl already knew that Melissa wanted to teach her a lesson, because she was arrogant all

the time, still she didn't care. She already noticed that Melissa raised her arms, but she didn't want to

dodge her slap this time.

Knowing how war-freak she was, she knew clearly that if she dodged this time, Melissa would not let

her go next time. So she decided to put up with this slap to show Charles Melissa's insolence.

"Well, Sheryl, now you dare to fight back!" With her hands shivering tremendously out of anger, Melissa

shouted and pointed at Sheryl furiously. She almost stabbed her finger on Sheryl's forehead.

"Madam, please behave yourself. You are a family. Since Sheryl didn't do anything wrong, you couldn't

hurt her unreasonably." Pleading her to stop, Nancy persuaded Melissa rationally.

"Get off! This is nothing to do with you! So shut your mouth up!" Shifting her attention towards Nancy

this time, Melissa was still mad. She glanced at Nancy angrily and pushed her away.

Being shoved off, Nancy was worried to death. She couldn't do anything to stop Melissa from hurting

Sheryl because she was too mad to be persuaded. 'What if Melissa slaps Sheryl again? I have to do

something!'

With the idea in mind, Nancy left and hid in a corner to call Charles as Melissa continued to insult

Sheryl.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Hearing that the line was ringing, Nancy prayed that Charles could pick up the

phone as soon as possible.

"Mr. Lu!" The moment the line was connected, Nancy almost lost her mind.

"Nancy? Why do you call me at this time? Is there something important you want to tell me?"

"Mr. Lu, please come home quickly. Something is happening now…." Unable to finish her words, Nancy

heard an angry sound from the living room as she was about to tell Charles what happened. Fearing

that Melissa wanted to hurt Sheryl so badly, she immediately hung up the phone and rushed over to

protect her.

On the other end of the line, Charles still had a lot to ask, but the call was cut short, and he could only

hear the busy tone.

Thinking about what Nancy had said, Charles had a bad feeling that there must be something

happening at home, or Nancy wouldn't call him anxiously. 'Mom must have trouble with Sheryl again.'

That was the only reason he could think of as it was the most probable thing to happen.

Deciding that he had to come home, Charles put the phone in his pocket and turned back to face his

clients. He said to all his clients politely, "I'm afraid I have to leave now. There is something happened

in my home, and I have to go back to handle it personally. Please continue to enjoy yourself with the

food."

"Mr. Lu, You disappoint us. How can you leave before we finish our dinner? A family dispute is no big

deal. It will be the same if you go back later."

Considering what his client implied, still Charles was worried and didn't want to waste his time

anymore. "I'm really sorry. I have to leave now. It will be my treat next time."

However, a hand stopped him as he was about to leave. "Mr. Lu, you should drink three glasses of

wine as a punishment, or we won't let you go."

Everyone could tell that Charles' face was all drawn with impatience. He pushed the hand away and

walked forward. The man who stopped him felt threatened by Charles' strong character.

He made way for Charles as his hand started to sweat. He stopped and embarrassed him because he

couldn't stand Charles' arrogance. But now, looking at Charles' sullen face, the man began to regret it

and stopped at what he was about to do.
