The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1867

Sheryl didn't want to fight with Leila. As long as she could still tolerate things, she'd always choose that over confrontation any day. She didn't mind being the first one to concede. To Leila, however, this was a sign of weakness. Since this whole thing had started, all she had wanted was to win.

"You always accuse me of being manipulative. Can you tell me exactly how I'm being manipulative?"

Sheryl's patience had run out. Leila was brash and arrogant. Since Leila moved into Dream Garden, they'd never gotten along. Sheryl had long realized that not everyone deserved her kindness, and she had no choice but to toughen up. Right now, she knew she had no choice but to go up against Leila.

Sheryl decided to gather her courage and toughen up, bracing herself for a confrontation.

Nancy was cleaning in the kitchen when she heard the noise outside. As the noise continued, she started to worry. She figured Leila and Sheryl were probably arguing. After some consideration, she decided to check and see what was going on between the two.

"Nancy, Melissa said that she wants to have Glutinous Rice and Lotus Root for dinner. Make sure we have the ingredients for that. She's expecting that for dinner," Leila quickly reminded Nancy as soon as Nancy came out of the kitchen. She knew where Nancy stood. She didn't want Sheryl getting any back-up, so she quickly gave Nancy an order so she would leave.

Sheryl hadn't even noticed that Nancy was there. She quickly turned and looked at Nancy.

Nancy wanted to greet Sheryl, but Leila didn't even give her a chance to speak.

When Sheryl saw the look on Nancy's face, she decided she wasn't going to let Nancy get involved in all of this. She nodded at Nancy with a wink to tell her that she could handle this alone, and she didn't need her help.

Nancy didn't object—she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to the market to buy the ingredients."

"Please, do it now, Nancy." Leila then turned back to Sheryl. She arrogantly folded her two arms across her chest with a smug look on her face.

Nancy promptly made her way out of the door. The tension only increased between Leila and Sheryl.

Leila didn't want anyone to overhear any of this, especially since she knew Nancy wasn't even on her side. She considered this confrontation to be rather private, so she made sure no one was around to listen in on them.

Leila knew that Sheryl was only there to visit Charles, who was still upstairs. She had considered moving this confrontation upstairs because Melissa was there, and she would, therefore, have back-up.

However, she quickly decided against this as she knew Melissa had been having trouble sleeping ever since Charles had gone missing. If they brought this upstairs, Melissa might not be able to sleep. Leila continued to think of another plan.

As Leila was deep in thought, Sheryl slowly made her way to the stairs. Leila quickly came back to her senses and snorted to herself, 'Really? You're going to run? Well, I won't let you!' Then she followed her. When Sheryl was just one step away from the second floor, Leila rushed past her. She had spread her arms so that she was blocking Sheryl's way.

"Where are you going? Stop! As long as I'm here, you won't be allowed to go anywhere in this house! I won't allow you to touch Charles!" Leila shouted, her face riddled with annoyance. She was determined that she wouldn't let Sheryl anywhere near Charles.

"I'm still Charles' wife! Dream Garden is my house. I can come here whenever I want and as often as I want. I don't need to ask for your permission. Who the hell do you think you are? You don't even belong here since you're an outsider! You have no right to question and order me around like that!" Sheryl spat as she eyed Leila. She was disgusted at how arrogant Leila was. For the life of her, she couldn't understand how the hell Leila was so shameless. Who did she think she was?

All the color in Leila's face suddenly flushed out. She was completely humiliated.
