ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 34

George only responded by giving an embarrassed smile. Just at the same time, a subordinate came in and brought the papers. He immediately stood up and took the documents. Then he handed the files to Sheryl and said, “All the materials are here. You can sign the papers after looking it through and thinking it acceptable.”

Sheryl looked through the papers carefully. She then pictured the contents and sent them to Charles’ phone. She signed her name after Charles said that it was okay.

She kept a signed copy herself and handed another to George. After all the processes were finished, she said to George, “Mr. Obrien, from now on, I will have no relationship with Kline Corp. any more. Please bear this in mind. If…”

She paused for a while before she went on, “If Miss Myers crosses her limit again, kindly excuse me because I would definitely retaliate.”

George’s face hardened at Sheryl’s warning. He was the boss of Kline Corp. after all. How could he be threatened by his ex-employee like this? It was absolutely annoying.

However, he was left with no choice but to smile embarrassedly and said, “I promise, I won’t allow such things to happen again.”

“That’s all right.” Sheryl nodded her head slightly before she went out of George’s office. She planned to see Susan, but then she met Coral on her way.

Nervousness flashed on Coral’s face when she saw Sheryl. She once did a bad thing to Sheryl; thus, she didn’t dare to face her at all. After a short hesitation, she finally chose not to avoid Sheryl and went over to the lady. She greeted warmly, “Hi, it’s so nice to see you here!”

Sheryl just nodded her head coldly and didn’t reply.

Emotionless, she turned away from Coral and walked away. She honestly believed in Coral when they were still in Vleydon. She never expected Coral to be the person who made her life in danger. For Pete’s sake!

“Sheryl…” Coral called out after a brief pause.

That made Sheryl turn to Coral and ask ruthlessly, “Is there anything else?”

“I…I am so sorry for what happened,” stammered Coral. Embarrassed, she glanced at Sheryl and continued, “It was Miss Myers who instructed me to do it. I didn’t mean to do it.”

Sheryl furrowed her eyebrows and got a bit irritated. How could Coral blame everything to Holly?

Thus, she stared at Coral and replied, “Coral, I chose not to say anything but it doesn’t mean that I don’t know the truth. Why not just admit what you did? I might just forgive you for your honesty.

However, you want to shift all the blame to Holly. Don’t you think you are very unkind?”

Coral felt wronged by Sheryl’s words and hastily tried to hold her hand. However, Sheryl immediately escaped her touch.

Awkwardness suddenly washed over Coral’s face due to Sheryl’s reaction. She explained, “Sher, a privileged person like you won’t understand my difficulties. I have a poor family. Miss Myers promised me that she would give me a large sum of money if I give you the glass of wine. You won’t understand what that sum of money means to me. It’s life-saving money for me.”

She stared at Sheryl and added, “I know I did something wrong. I’m sorry. But Sheryl, I’m still hoping that you can understand. I truly… I truly didn’t mean it.”

“That’s enough!” Sheryl cut her off and cast her a murderous glare. She then said emotionlessly, “I know something about your family’s condition. But Coral, I also know that you don’t feel any pain at all when you spent your money on branded bags.”

A sarcastic smile cracked Sheryl’s lip. “So please, stop using your family’s condition as an excuse. What you did was absolutely provoked by your own vanity. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“I…” Coral suddenly felt ashamed with how Sheryl rebuked her.

Seeing Sheryl was about to leave, Coral gathered her courage again and called out, “Are you going to see Susan?”

“So what?” Sheryl narrowed her brows impatiently.

“She is not here today,” replied Coral in a low voice as she looked at her.

With eyebrows furrowed, Sheryl was forced to turn around. She then walked toward Coral and asked, “What do you mean by that? Why is she not here?”

“Susan got hit by a car and suffered a slight fracture of her right leg on our way back. She is in hospital now,” Coral explained in a faint voice.

“Hit by a car?” The first thought that came into Sheryl’s mind was that it was done by Holley. She immediately caught Coral’s arm and interrogated her more in a distressed voice. “Who did it?”

“I don’t know…” Coral’s voice melted as she spoke. “Everybody says it must be done by Miss Myers but there… isn’t any evidence.” A mocking smile cracked her lips before she continued, “You should also know what it cost when one opposes Miss Myers. Please don’t blame me for not taking on your side, Sheryl. I was left with no choice.”

“Which hospital is Susan in?” Sheryl asked anxiously.

“I can tell you where the hospital is,” Coral stared at Sheryl as she replied. Then she added, “But I have a condition. I will tell you the hospital site as long as you accept my demand.”

“Just say it,” Sheryl instantly responded.

“I know that Mr. Taylor loves you so much. I also know that you are Mr. Taylor’s wife. Mr. Taylor will not spare me once he finds out that I’m the one who brought you the glass of wine. Thus, I want you to promise that you won’t hold me accountable forever. As long as you agree to this condition, I will tell you the hospital at once,” said Coral. Then she gave a deep sigh. She had no other choice but to think for herself.

Sheryl smiled sardonically and said in a ruthless voice, “Okay. I agree to it.”

Coral told Sheryl the hospital site and it would take her about an hour to reach the hospital. When she arrived, Susan was lying in bed with a middle-aged man standing beside her bed. The man looked civilized and refined. There were also some undeniable similarities when it came to the appearances of Susan and the man.

That man handed a bowl to Susan and said in a concerned voice, “Susan, please eat more. It is often said that you are what you eat. The stewed soup with pig trotters is good for your recovery.”

“Dad, I seriously can’t eat more,” said Susan in an attempt to refuse. She continued with a crumpled face, “I eat this every day since I came here. I think I would be a pig if I continue eating this.”

“That’s all right. How about I cook bone soup tonight for you?” the man said to Susan in a helpless voice.

“Fine, fine, fine. Dad, I’m tired. I want to have a break,” answered Susan while looking at her dad.

“Okay. But I want to ask you one more thing, Susan. Did you really fail to see the driver’s face?” he asked with a frown.

“You already asked this question a lot of times. I told you, dad, it was just an accident. Just stop thinking about it any more,” Susan replied impatiently. Then she urged her father to leave. “You should leave now. I’m about to have a rest.”

The man was left with nothing to do but sigh deeply. He stood up from his seat and went out of the ward.

Sheryl was just standing outside the ward when she took her phone out. She dialed Susan’s number and it was instantly answered. Susan pretended nothing had happened and asked over the phone, “Sher, you’re already back, right?”
