The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 231

After witnessing what happened, Abby and Andy thought it was the time for them to head back, "Autumn, we have to leave now, there is not much we can do to help, but I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

"That would be really nice." Autumn kept her composure. While such a disaster was happening to her own family, she tried to hide her sorrow beneath a cheerful outward appearance. With a smile, she showed Andy's family out.

The guests had seen everything so the only choice for Autumn was to apologize to them one by one, and then walk them out. After the last guest had left, she looked around the empty hall. She sat down, finally relieved.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" What? Don't you recognize me?" Rachel stood in front of Charles.

But Charles gave a brittle laugh and responded scornfully, "You know, I did not expect you were going to stoop down to such low levels. Are you enjoying this ride?"

"I became what you made me!" There was a time when Rachel dreamt how Charles would regret what he had done. Now, the truth has dawned on her that Charles did not give a care about this. Suddenly she broke down crying as she thought of all her previous painful experiences. "Charles, you are so cruel, you wanted to shatter me to pieces only because of a woman. I couldn't get any projects then. If I hadn't met Edward, I don't even know what would have happened to me."

Rachel was sneering as she recalled how she had become a hostess to drink with strangers before she met Edward. And her hatred of Charles, for old and new wrongs, welled up in her heart, and this time, she wished she could tear Charles into shreds.

"So you are taking your revenge on me this way?" Charles looked at Rachel in front of him coldly and wondered why he had been so blind to date such an evil woman, and thought she was reasonable. "Do you have any idea who it is in there, Rachel? That's my great uncle, he is two generations older than me. And you did not hold back to be with such an old man who almost has one foot in the grave, only because you want your revenge on me. You really want me to look down on you, right?"

"Don't be an egomaniac and don't think too much of yourself. You are not that important." Rachel sneered, she wouldn't let herself fooled by Charles. Because in this situation, she knew it indeed that Edward was her own life-saving straw, and only by firmly grasping this life-saving straw could she continue to live the life that she wanted.

She was afraid that Charles was just testing her. "Since I started going out with Edward, I finally knew how important a mature man is to me. When I was with you, I was just playing. Now Edward and I, we are going to marry each other, so I hope I could have your blessing."

"My blessing?" Charles couldn't help laughing and said, "Why would you want such a illusory thing? Since you are so happy with him, then I hope you two live well."

"You......" Rachel was flustered and exasperated. It took her a long time to ask Charles directly. "Charles, don't you feel any regret at all? Don't you regret choosing Autumn and giving up on me?"

"I do." Charles said it resolutely and decisively, god knows how thrilled Rachel would be to hear this, but what happened next made her collapse. "I regret that I was too blind to be with a woman like you."
