Chapter 2133 Just In Case

Making up her mind, Sheryl was determined to make Ferry pay for his wrongdoing.

Realizing that Sheryl had already forgiven him, Charles took his chance to apologize at once, "No, Sher, you didn't do anything wrong. I am the one who should be blamed. I shouldn't have kept you in the dark for so long. I can only imagine how worried and sad you were during those times. As their father, I am supposed to protect our kids from any harm. Sher, I'm sorry."

"Charles!" Sheryl exclaimed, throwing herself into Charles' arms. Her eyes were watery. She could feel her heart beating strongly inside her chest. Thinking that Clark was still in the hands of the bad guys, she felt worried.

"Charles, we need to hurry and find a way to get Clark back. We can't just wait here."

"Well, that's the reason why I asked you to come here," Charles started. Holding her chin to lift her face, he prompted her to take a look at him. "Listen! Sher, you must do as I tell you, and make no mistakes..." Charles told Sheryl his plan in detail. The latter listened carefully, trying to grasp as much as she could.

A few minutes later, shock registered on Sheryl's face. As much as Charles' plan seemed well-thought of, it would take a lot to perfectly execute it. As mentioned earlier, there was no room for errors.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sheryl asked, looking into his eyes.

Charles nodded his head and answered firmly, "Rachel hates me. If Vicky is indeed Rachel, she would take this as a very good opportunity to kill me."

"But it means that you will take a huge risk yourself..." Sheryl appealed, feeling worried about Charles.

"Don't worry about me. I promise to be careful. As long as you can do as I tell you, my plan will work," Charles assured her.

"All right." Sheryl nodded. She knew that Charles had made up his mind, so there was no way she could change it. All she could do now was to support him and do her part.

The streets were already dark when Sheryl returned to Dream Garden. As soon as she entered the house, she found Melissa and Nancy anxiously waiting for her in the living room, just as she had expected.

"Good evening, Mom, Nancy," Sheryl greeted them, seeing as they both turned when she stepped into the room.

Seeing Sheryl had finally arrived, Melissa got excited. She jumped to her feet and rushed to meet her, throwing herself at Sheryl.

"Sher, I called you so many times, but you never picked up. How is Charles? Did you... " Melissa lowered her head and started to cry, the rest of her words fading as she sobbed.

Sheryl knew that she had to comfort her mother-in-law, so she held her hand and said, "Mom, don't worry. Charles is fine. He really is."

"Really?" Melissa raised her head and asked in between sobs. Her eyelashes were still wet. She wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hands. At the sig

ld ask my driver to drive you there?"

"I'm okay, Mom. I can manage. I'm leaving now." Sheryl couldn't afford any more delays, so she turned around and started to leave.

"Drive safely."

Melissa's voice came from behind, as Sheryl walked out and closed the door behind her. She felt touched.

Making her way out of the house, she realized that she finally got Melissa's acceptance as her daughter-in-law. She was so happy about the progress of her relationship with Melissa. Now she greatly believed that she and Charles would never be apart, and their family would be reunited forever. But this happiness was still partial, as she was still worried about Clark's disappearance. Clark might be living on the corner of some street right now. It pained her to not know what kind of life he was having.

Sheryl decided that she wouldn't force herself to think about anything else. The only thing she should focus on now was to act according to Charles' plan. If she could act as good as Charles expected her to, things would go well.

When she walked out of Dream Garden, a car was already waiting for her, just as she had been told. Seeing that Sheryl just came out, the driver stepped out and greeted her respectfully, "Mrs. Lu, please get in the car."

Charles had arranged the car for her.

Ferry's men had, after all, carefully planned to harm Charles and the people that he loved. Knowing that was the case, Charles took action to protect them, especially his beloved wife. Charles knew that even if Ferry had gotten Clark in his hand, he must have wanted more of his family members as leverage.

Therefore, Charles insisted that Sheryl should be under his protection. And Sheryl agreed to that.

Sheryl nodded and got into the car silently.

Soon enough, the engine started. The car's headlights cut towards the silent and dark street outside Dream Garden as it made its way to its destination.
