The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1926

When Leila came back down to earth, David was leaving. There was nothing she could do to stop him, and she glared at him as he left.

"Damn it! Let me even the score with Sheryl, and you will be next." Leila stomped her foot out of rage, but she had no choice left other than letting David go.

Leila kept pushing Ferry, and she inquired about what was happening over the following days. At first, he gave her his firm and solemn promises, but later he had become merely offhand with her. She sensed that something was, indeed, fishy. This time, when Leila called Ferry, she issued an ultimatum that he spill the beans.

"Mr. Fang, I believe you are competent enough to make Sheryl meet her maker right away. She should have been dead as a door-nail by now. Seriously, are you trying to make a fool out of me?" Leila spoke to Ferry impatiently.

Ferry chuckled coldly and responded disdainfully, "Leila Zhang, who the hell do you think you are?"

"You...What did you say...." Suddenly, Leila stopped and realized she had put a foot in her mouth. She was clearly nothing in comparison with Ferry. In fact, this was the reason Leila had come to beg him for help in the first place.

"Leila, I am warning you for the last time. If you ever dare to talk to me like that again, I will ensure that you bite the dust before Sheryl," Ferry said in a rather casual tone, but his every word pierced through Leila's heart, scaring her to death.

"Mr. Fang, are you really that conservative?" Leila dared to reply, yet, her heart pounded ferociously from terror.

"Cut the crap! I have handled her. You'd better fulfill your promise as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will let Charles know that it is you who had Sheryl killed!" Ferry interrupted Leila, impatiently.

As soon as Leila heard that Sheryl had been handled, she let out a sigh of relief. The news was enough to banish her fear; she was on cloud nine now.

"Really? It is true?" Leila responded with a smirk on her face. Although Leila knew well about Ferry's aptitude, still she struggled to believe the news. It was just that she had now accomplished a deep-down desire of her heart today. Leila was not doubting Ferry's capability to kill Sheryl, but she could not process that her dream had finally come true after an endless struggle.

"Of course! Why would I even lie to a woman like you? Just be mindful of what you have promised me." Ferry hung up the phone immediately.

Leila stared at her cell phone blankly for a brief minute. Then she danced around the room and laughed loudly, overjoyed. Leila was in her seventh heaven and daydreamed that there was nothing in the world that could separate her from Charles now.

Wade hadn't witnessed Leila so joyful for a long time, and she couldn't stop herself from questioning Leila to satisfy her curiosity. She walked up slowly and said to share her happiness, "Ms. Zhang, what happened? Why are you so cheerful today?"

"Am I supposed to inform you why I am happy or sad? It's none of your business! Go away!" Leila rolled her eyes at Wade and replied with a straight face. As soon as Wade left the room, she continued to cherish her triumph against Sheryl with a broad smile all over her face.

At Ferry's residence

Ferry furiously tossed his cellphone on the floor in a rage and pointed at his subordinate, asking in a booming pitch, "Have you found her yet?"

"Boss, please calm down. We haven't found her yet, but we are trying our best to look for her. Don't worry. We will find her even in the grave!" The subordinate was so terrified that he finished the sentence without taking a single pause.

Ferry grabbed a convenient vase from the table and threw it at his subordinate without giving it a second thought.

The subordinate couldn't muster the guts to dodge. He did not retaliate and let Ferry beat him up.

After beating him several times, Ferry continued angrily, "You can't even find a woman. I have provided for you, but you can do nothing!

Get out. You are useless..."

Ferry kicked the subordinate out and became lost in his thoughts. He was clear that if he couldn't find Sheryl, he would never be able to take revenge.

He didn't give a damn about what Leila would think about his lie or if he could take anything from her to find Sheryl. Ferry was in a rage because he felt powerless to find Sheryl.

He had waited for years to witness this day. He had tortured that woman for such a long time and yet, failed to end her life. Not that he wanted to let her go, but he planned to make her experience the death of a thousand cuts. However, beyond his expectation, she had grabbed a chance and secretly escaped.

Ferry couldn't control his temper and kept pounding the table, trying to calm the blood rushing through his veins.
