The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 2125 It Is Inconvenient

At the police station

David called and gave a heads-up to the deputy director of the police station, Paul, before he went to

the station. Paul was a good friend of Charles and was always willing to help him.

Paul warmly welcomed David as soon as he arrived. He invited David up to his office and made him a

cup of tea. Then they began to discuss Charles.

"I didn't know Mr. Lu was in an accident. I'm so sorry to hear that!" Paul said.

David updated Paul, all the while assuring him, "Mr. Lu isn't in critical condition anymore. He's expected

to wake up soon. But Paul, we really want to arrest whoever did this as soon as possible since we don't

want something like this to happen again."

"I've already asked people to look into it, but it's quite tricky. David, can you tell me what Mr. Lu's

relationship is to Vicky?"

Paul asked this because he needed to know how Charles felt about Vicky. If it turned out that he had

taken a liking toward her, it would make the investigation harder.

"It doesn't matter. Vicky is a scheming person. I really think it's possible that she has something to do

with the accident," David said through gritted teeth.

Paul was relieved to hear this. "We already found something on Vicky. We found her personal

information, and it's a bit strange. She was abroad for a while, and she had just returned here. The

minute she comes home, Mr. Lu accidentally hits her. She doesn't have any business or relatives in the

country. She just shows up out of nowhere."

"Yes, I know that. And to be honest with you, Paul, Mr. Lu has been suspicious of her for quite a while

now. Do you know Ferry..." David told everything to Paul, including the fact that Charles had asked him

to investigate whether Ferry and Vicky were in cahoots with each other.

Paul was shocked upon hearing this. He didn't expect Ferry to still be involved in something like this.

Ferry was a powerful and influential man who had a big influence in the city. Although he was in prison

now, his power and connection, and what he was capable of was still a threat.

Once he had decided on something, he wouldn't stop until he had gotten what he wanted, and he had

no care for consequences.

"This is very serious. It seems that we have to report it to our superior. By the way, have you found any

evidence?" Paul asked.

David told him what he knew about Rob.

"He is Ferry's most capable man, but he's been quiet for a while. He's the CEO of a foreign trade

company and has some assets outside the country."

"Okay, we can look into him. I'm sure we'll find something," Paul concluded decisively, lightly pounding

his hand on the table.

David smiled in satisfaction.

Damian hadn't been able to get in touch with Sheryl for a few days now. He was quite worried, so he

decided to go to Shining Company.

As soon as he entered the building, he bumped into Isla.

"Damian?" Isla said as soon as she caught sight of him.

Damian stopped in his tracks upon hearing Isla. He was glad to see Isla. "Is Sher here?" he asked

hurriedly.

"You want to talk to Sher?" Isla said this on purpose. She had just received some news and was

deciding if she was going to tell him. She didn't expect she would see him here.

Damian nodded and asked anxiously, "I called her so many times, but she's not answering her phone.

What happened? Did something go wrong again?"

"No, she's fine," Isla said slowly. "Sher's fine, but someone else isn't."

"Who? Who's in trouble?" As soon as Damian finished his question, he added out of concern, "Is it the

kids?"

"You're overthinking. The kids are fine too. It's Charles." Isla was hesitating, wondering if she should tell

him. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Upon hearing this, Damian asked hurriedly, "Something happened to Charles? What happened? What

happened to him? What does that have to do with Sher? Did Sher change her mind?"

Isla, who was quite impulsive, was trying her best not to spill anything.

She had just gotten a call from Sheryl, telling her that she wouldn't be able to come to work for a while.

Sheryl asked for a little help and to refrain from calling her unless it was an emergency.

Sheryl emphasized on the phone that Isla couldn't tell anyone anything about Charles, including the

staff of the company.

When Isla found out that Charles had gotten into an accident and that Sheryl was going to have to look

after him, she got angry. Before she could scold Sheryl, she had already hung up on her.

She was still sulking when she saw Damian. She really wanted to tell him what she was upset about.

"I can't say too much. But if you love Sher, you should leave her alone. She's not in the mood to talk to

you or anyone for that matter," Isla said vaguely.

"What do you mean? Why doesn't she want to talk to me? What kind of trouble did Charles get into?

He's a very powerful man. What can they possibly not have a solution for?" Damian inquired, sounding

a bit surprised.

Isla, however, remained silent no matter how hard Damian pressed her.

"Well, I've said all I want to say. If you really care about Sher, just leave her alone. When she goes back

to work, you can try and talk to her then. For now, I have to go. I still have work to do."

"Miss Zhao..." Damian watched Isla leave, his heart aching.

Disappointed, he returned to his hotel. Just as he was about to call Duke, he suddenly received a

strange call.

"Mr. Li? Can I meet you?" It was Rob who was calling Damian. That was why the voice sounded

familiar.

Damian was taken aback. He wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone.

"No, thanks. I'm busy, and I really don't want to go out right now," Damian said.

Rob responded, his tone sarcastic, "I'm calling to give you a heads up. If you don't do something right

now, Sheryl's going to get back together with her ex-husband again."

Upon hearing this, the look on Damian's face shifted.

'Does this man know something?

Is this about Charles?'

After careful consideration, Damian agreed to meet Rob.

"Okay, I'll go and see you, but you better not be lying to me."

"Mr. Li, you are indeed a straightforward person. Don't worry. The information I have will definitely

benefit you. I'll send you the time and place. Don't ditch me." Rob chuckled and hung up on Damian.

A few moments after, Rob sent Damian a message containing the time and place of their meet-up.

He was still a little worried, so he forwarded the message to Duke.

"What the hell are you doing?" Duke called him right away.

Damian then told him everything he knew about Rob.
