The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 178

"I really don't know what to say to you." Chris's face turned purple with anger. She was trying to get Yvonne out of the house before Autumn came back, but she didn't expect that Yvonne could be so thick-skinned. Yvonne was unwilling to budge and even got into an argument with Chris.

"What going on here, Chris? Why do you look so angry?" Charles was still worried about Autumn's health, so he took her to the hospital to get a physical examination in the early morning. They also visited Autumn's grandma on the way. However, as soon as they got back home, Charles found Chris and Yvonne quarrelling with each other in the living room."

"Charles, you are back. Thank God!" Yvonne glared at Autumn in front of her and walked up to Charles. Pretending to be pitiful, Yvonne began complaining to Charles. "Charles, please tell me, what the hell did I do wrong? As soon as I came in, I found out that Chris had already picked up my luggage for me. She asked me to leave the house. Charles, please help me. I really don't know what I did wrong, and why is Chris so angry with me?" Yvonne said, pulling his shirt sleeve.

"Let go of me and stay away!" Charles shook off her hands impatiently and then said with an extremely cold voice, "Now that she has packed up all of your belongings for you, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible. The steward has recruited two new servants recently, so there is no available room for you here."

"Charles, you..." Yvonne was too humiliated to utter a single word. Her face flushed with anger immediately. However, Charles just gave her the cold shoulder. Soon Yvonne turned to Autumn, holding her hands and pretending to be intimate with her. "Sister, how can he compare me to a servant? Am I not more important than a servant?"

With a straight face Yvonne then added, "You asked me to live in a maid's room and not once did I complain about that to you, but now you won't even let me stay in the maid room. Don't you think that's too harsh?"

Then Yvonne paused for a while and went on, trying to make her voice sound softer, "Sister, I still have to stay here for a little longer because Wendy and Simon won't be back for a few more days. You have to help me." She tried to sweet-talk Autumn into letting her stay there for a few more days so that she would get the chance to try and get along with Charles.

She furrowed her eye brows and then optimistically reached out for a yard after getting an inch, "Now that there's no room available for me in the maid room, may I please move in upstairs?"

"That's very audacious of you! How can you be so shameless? How dare you talk to Yvonne this way?" Chris was still unaware of Autumn and Yvonne's identity swap. Despite sounding harsh, Chris said angrily, because it was her first time to meet such a brazen person. "No way! I will not even let you live in the maid room, let alone the guest room upstairs. You'd better get out of here as soon as possible. I don't want to see your face here ever again. Hurry up. Get your luggage and get out of my house."

However, Yvonne continued to ignore Chris. Instead, she kept nagging to Autumn and continued to be pitiful. "Sister, why aren't you saying anything? You have to speak for me. Don't forget that..."

Autumn interrupted her straight away, "What did I forget? Are you going to threaten me again?" Autumn kept quiet the whole time after she got in the house because she decided not to make a fuss as long as Yvonne was willing to leave on her own. However, much to her disappointment, Yvonne completely disregarded what had happened last night and shamelessly insisted on staying in their house.

"Sister, do you even know what you are talking about?" Clearly, Yvonne didn't expect Autumn to decline her request, after all she was used to Autumn granting her wishes all the time. But Yvonne was very cunning and she knew why Autumn was being so cold to her. Therefore, she humbled herself and said, "Sister, I know you are still angry because of what happened last night. But... But I had nothing to do with it. Rachel was the one behind it all. She orchestrated the whole thing. She said that she was still in love with Charles, so she wanted to steal him from you. You have to trust me, I am not her accomplice. I am speaking the truth. Please believe me."

Yvonne confessed every detail relating to the incident last night. "Rachel went to the hotel with many people because she was intending to slander your reputation. She wanted to make people believe that you had an ambiguous relationship with another man. But I scolded her for her despicable behavior. Sister, I would never betray you. You are my sister and you are my family. You can't just kick me out."

When Yvonne was done talking, Autumn glanced at Charles, because she was a little irresolute and wasn't sure of what to do. However, Charles did not give her any suggestions, but said that it was up to her.

Yvonne smiled inwardly. Now that Charles had left the decision to Autumn, she was hopeful that she would get the chance to stay there longer, because she was aware of Autumn's weak spots.

Grinning, Yvonne turned to Autumn and asked, "Sister, which room shall I move in to?" Yvonne was very tricky. Before Autumn even granted her the permission, she had already made the decision for her.

Autumn looked at her indifferently and then replied, "I will book a room in the hotel for you. Of course, I will pay for it. But you can't stay here anymore. It is not convenient for us to have you living here with us, because you are not a part of this family and you have overstayed your welcome."

Autumn remained sternly cool and unmoved. She couldn't tolerate Yvonne anymore. She was eager to live her life on her own terms, and not be a puppet for others to control. Now that Yvonne was blameworthy, she had to face the consequences. She was an adult now, so she needed to behave like an adult and be more responsible.

'I have already found my grandma. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you or Wendy, I am not going to bend to your every whim and I would definitely not help Wendy with anything anymore, ' Autumn thought inwardly.

"What? What do you mean?" It took Yvonne a long while to react. She didn't understand why Autumn was talking to her with such a bad attitude.

"Are you a fool? Don't you know what I mean? I mean, you need to take your luggage and get out of here as soon as possible. As for where you'd like to go, I don't really care." Autumn remained adamant, her eyes were icy. She would not tolerate Yvonne acting shamelessly. This was her home and she wouldn't allow anyone to dictate how she lives her life anymore.

"Sister, you'd better not forget your identity. What's more..." Arrogantly, Yvonne was looking to make a snide remark, when Autumn instantly interrupted her and said, "Do you still want to threaten me with my grandma? That won't work anymore. I have already found my grandmother. You know what? You promised me that you would take good care of my grandma and get her a doctor, but you and your mother went back on your word."

"Sister, what are you talking about? You've found your grandmother? Are you kidding me?" Yvonne didn't think she had the capability to find out where her grandmother was. If she had really found her grandma, Yvonne will have lost all her bargaining powers to put pressure on her. "Have you really found your poor grandma?" Yvonne was not sure if Autumn was being serious, so she asked her again.

"What's wrong? Are you shocked?" Autumn laughed grimly and then she continued, "I want you to listen very carefully to what I have to say right now. From now on, I won't ever be left to the tender mercies of manipulative liars like you. Keep in mind, we are no longer related to each other. I am severing all my ties with you and Wendy. If you even dare to offend me next time, I promise, I'll make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life.

Do you know what you should do next? Get out of here right now!" Autumn yelled at Yvonne indignantly, pointing her fingers to the door.

It was the first time Yvonne had see Autumn so angry. 'Perhaps, I pushed her over the edge, ' Yvonne thought.

Yvonne was worried now that she had nothing left to threaten Autumn with. She stood there motionlessly with a faint heart.

Autumn pulled her luggage in front of her. "This way please, " Autumn said while pointing to the doorway.

Yvonne grabbed the draw-bar and felt tempestuous at the thought that it was Autumn who stole Charles from her. Charles should have been her husband and she should have been the mistress of this house. She was not supposed to be the one to leave the house. It was Autumn who didn't belong there.

Why did she have to be the one to leave here?

Yvonne sneered, stepping towards Charles and said, "Charles, in fact, I have something to tell you. I am sure that my sister hasn't told you this, even though you've been married to each other for a long time now."

Slowly and confidently, Yvonne said to Charles, because she was determined to tell him the truth about their identity swap. She even glared at Autumn defiantly, when she spoke.

"That's enough! Why are you still here? I have had it up to here with you." Chris pushed Yvonne impatiently and said every word with disgust, "No matter what you are going to say, my brother won't trust you. Don't try to bother us again."

"Let go of me." Yvonne pushed Chris away and then turned to Charles, "Charles, I am sure you will be interested to know what I am about to tell you. You have been married to her for a long time, but do you really know who she is? Are you sure you are aware of your wife's real identity?"

"Don't bother trying to cast a bone between them. No matter what is her real identity, she is my brother's legal wife already and she is a part of my family!" Chris responded angrily. Chris was about to pull Yvonne away when Charles stopped her, "Chris, don't stop her. Let her speak. I want to know what kind of secret she want to tell me."

Lately, Charles had been worried and had found himself at a loss on how to disclose Autumn's real identity to the world, but now it seemed like Yvonne had provided him with the opportunity at the right moment.
