ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 12 Episode 53

After the public exposure of the truth, Sheryl’s reputation was restored, and she was even more famous than ever before, which meant that the tragedy served her quite well in the end.

If anything, at least this time she gained a worthy reputation.

With Sheryl in charge of Cloud Advertising Corp. and Charles backing her up, their days at the company would be better than ever before.

Or, at least that was what the employees thought. All they really wanted was a safe environment to work in. Surely, they didn’t know that when they’d made their choice, Cloud Advertising Corp. had nothing to do with them.
“Why are you guys still here? I thought that you’d already left? Why are you returning now?” Before Sheryl could speak, Isla had already lectured the employees for her.

“Isla, there must be a misunderstanding between us. It’s not that we want to leave here, but…” Of course, they didn’t want to let go of such an good opportunity to stay in the company.

“You don’t have to say anything. There’s no point. All of us can see that you’ve chosen to leave, which means that Cloud Advertising Corp. has nothing to do with you anymore. Just take the money and go!” Isla said in an unkind tone.

“Isla, how can you let us leave like this? Mrs. Taylor hasn’t even said anything yet!” Many of them began to regret handing in their resignations.

“Well, I guess I have to take a stand,” Sheryl said coldly. “Isla, I’ll leave this to you.”

After saying that, Sheryl picked up her cellphone and left.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the rest of the staff stood in place with shock and dull expressions on their faces. They all felt the urge to ask for Isla’s forgiveness, but they didn’t know how.

“What are you all looking at? Don’t just stand there! Cloud Advertising Corp. is not big enough to accommodate all of you, so if you want to leave, then just go.” Isla was fed up and didn’t want to say another single word to them.

“Isla, everything must be a misunderstanding. You should listen to us and let us explain before making assumptions.” They were not willing to leave the company now.

“What? What do you mean by this being a misunderstanding? The only thing that I think is a misunderstanding here, is the naked photos. Isn’t that correct?” Isla said scornfully.

“Isla…”

“Alright, guys. Stop telling me anything because I won’t listen. Those who said that they wanted to leave are now free to go. Even if you stay here against your will, I will promise you that you will have a tough road ahead, so make the decision wisely!”

Hearing Isla, those who wanted to stay didn’t dare to respond. After all, the reason why they were willing to stay at Cloud Advertising Corp. was to be ensured a better future.

However, if they were doomed to be rejected from the start, it would be completely meaningless for them to stay here and even more so against their own will.

When they turned around to leave, Ellie ran back.

Ellie’s expression seemed different from before. She looked at Isla and said, “Isla, everything was my fault. I am the only one to blame here. I changed my mind. I’ve decided to stay at the company…”

Listening to Ellie’s statement, Isla was even more irritated and didn’t even wait for her to finish speaking. Instead, she proceeded to leave the premises with Sheryl.

Since she didn’t permit the employees any opportunities, she most definitely wasn’t going to give Ellie one either.

“Isla, just listen to me…” Ellie remained somewhat reluctant. Who would have thought that Sheryl would be able to save her dignity in the end, especially after her entire reputation was ruined?

The situation now was entirely different from what it was in the morning.

However, Isla already left. It didn’t seem as though she had the strength to deal with the company for a single second longer.

“Ellie, there’s no other way out than to leave. It’s clear that we’ve all been dismissed. They’re so ruthless… They don’t want us anymore! We mean nothing to them.” One of Ellie’s colleagues could see that she was overwhelmed, so she immediately comforted her.

“Oh, come on now… Please, let’s go.” The others shook their heads and said to the two who were still hovering at the scene, “What bad luck we all have! None of us has a job anymore and we’re not going to change that by staying at this wreckage any longer!”

“Do yourself a favor, don’t talk about it and let’s go!” Everyone felt helpless; they didn’t know what to do next.

At this point, Charles called Sheryl and said, “Sher, have you seen the news today?”

Hearing the excitement in Charles’ voice, Sheryl responded, “Yes…Yes, I’ve seen it.” She then nodded with ease.

“Sher, I said I would clear your name, and I did it! They won’t misunderstand you anymore.” Charles spoke in a spoiled tone.

“Just…”

“Just what?” Sheryl couldn’t understand what else Charles was dissatisfied with. Thinking about how far they had come, their victory must have surely been enough to make him feel better.

“I don’t think it’s all Duncan’s idea. Now, however, all the mistakes are left for Duncan to deal with alone. Rachel hasn’t even been punished for this whatsoever.” Hence the reason why Charles was dissatisfied.

“Do you think that Rachel planned it?” Sheryl was thinking the same thing. However, she had been so busy lately that she didn’t have the time to think about who the planner was.

“Perhaps Rachel and Holley planned it together. Did you see Holley at the scene that day? If they ever meet one another, surely nothing good will come of it! They are both one and the same,” Charles said in a firm tone.

“Well then, what shall we do about it?” Sheryl was uncertain whether Rachel would do anything bad again. Then again, she knew what Rachel was capable of.

“You don’t have to worry about anything at all. I’ll fix this and take care of them,” Charles consoled Sheryl.

“Well, okay then. I think it’s best that I go straight home after work,” Sheryl said.

“Sher, can you go to the hotel to pick up my mother and return to Dream Garden together?” Charles had planned to pick her up by himself, but wasn’t able to get away from his busy schedule. He had something very important to do instead.

Nevertheless, he recalled to himself that he promised to pick Melissa up today. That was the only reason why he had to ask Sheryl to do it.

Charles briefly thought that Melissa would become more fond of Sheryl, mainly because all of the misconceptions about her were cleared up.

Perhaps it would be good for easing the tension between the two of them.

Sheryl knew what her husband was thinking. She wasn’t convinced and didn’t want to do what Charles asked of her, but she proceeded to tell him what he wanted to hear anyway. “Okay, I’ll go. Just give me the address.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to your cellphone right now. Sher, you should be kind when you see my mother later. I’m certain that she’ll change her attitude towards you once she learns about what happened in the news,” Charles reminded.

Sheryl nodded, in an attempt to reassure him that it was okay.

She still wasn’t convinced, however, and thought that it would be impossible for Melissa to change her attitude towards her.

After all, the fact that Melissa disliked her was not because of the nude photos. After this incident, no matter whether Sheryl’s name had been cleared, her suspicion would remain. Sheryl knew that she would always be viewed as bad in Melissa’s eyes.
