The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 703 Dare To Take A Bet On Me

A bitter smile crept on Kitty's face as she spoke to Charles in a shaky voice, "I know that you love Sheryl so it's natural for you to always believe in her. I can understand that." "But this time, it has something to do with my reputation. So, I hope Mr. Lu could make a fair judgement," she added.

While staring affectionately at Charles, she continued, "If Mr. Lu still chooses to believe Sheryl, then I have no other choice but to accept it. I have to admit that I am inferior to her. She is always skillful in seducing a man, anyway."

"Kitty, are you still going to inflict injustice to Sheryl? Don't you have any remorse at all?" asked Charles while pointing at Sheryl. He sneered and gave Kitty a cold stare.

Although Charles had drunk a lot, fortunately the last bottle only contained water.

Alice had been watching over Charles from the beginning of the game because she was afraid that Charles would be framed. So when she noticed that Kitty and the other models were lurking outside, she took the opportunity to pour out the liquor and replaced it with water. That was also why Charles was confident to drink it.

As she heard Charles' words, Kitty was taken aback and she felt anxious. She thought that Charles would be forced to be impartial when faced with many people. However, she didn't expect that he would still speak for Sheryl.

At the thought of this, Kitty laughed grimly. She turned to Charles and said in an aggrieved tone, "It seems that Mr. Lu has always been determined to trust Sheryl and speak for her."

"Yes, of course! That is exactly what I will always do," replied Charles with a sneer. Initially, Charles had planned to talk to Kitty in private when all people left. After all, she was a woman and he wanted to give her some face. But he didn't expect that things would turn out this way.

Now that it was Kitty who took the initiative to screw things up, Charles decided to disregard her feeling anymore.

"Absolutely, I will believe in Sheryl's words. Or do you expect me to believe you instead?" asked Charles in a cold tone. The sneer didn't leave his face while he helped Sheryl to sit by his side carefully. When Alice saw it, she hastily put a clean towel around Sheryl's shoulders. After making sure that Sheryl was already fine, Charles then turned to Kitty and was ready to give her a punishment.

However, Kitty was still kept in the dark so she laughed scornfully and continued, "Well, perhaps you are already in a relationship with Sheryl. And now that she is your lover, it is natural for you to trust her and be partial towards me. So, what are you going to do with me then?"

Sheryl trembled in anger upon hearing Kitty's words but she chose not to say anything. Charles patted her shoulder and smiled softly to comfort her so she was a little bit relieved.

Taking a glimpse at Kitty who was still acting like an overlord, Charles said, "You said that I am a prejudiced. Now, to prove me wrong, you have to show me an evidence that would show Sheryl really just slipped by herself because I always believe that she would never create troubles intentionally."

"What kind of evidence are you still looking for? There are so many people here and they probably saw what happened too. Just as the old saying goes, 'Four eyes see more than two'. I was at the end of the line that time so I clearly saw she slip." Kitty also sneered to Charles and continued, "Mr. Lu, you said earlier that you would give me a chance to explain. But from the looks of it, you are still trying to defend Sheryl no matter what I say. Why don't you just tell me exactly what you want to say? There's no need for you to beat around the bush.

Where do you think should I find the evidence you are looking for?" Finally, Kitty had stopped her illusions. It was clear to her now that Charles would never trust her. He only believed in Sheryl. "I have only seen it with my own eyes so I really don't have any idea where to find the evidence you want," she added.

"You are lying!" Charlie's voice was abruptly heard. He composedly walked through the crowd and stopped in front of Kitty.

Sheryl was stunned to have heard Charlie's voice. She gazed at him and persuaded him, "Charlie, don't get involved in this matter. Just go and play with Shirley. I will be fine. There is nothing to worry about." However, Charlie just stood still as if he didn't hear anything. Although he was much shorter than Kitty, he was calm yet a little bit furious. He glared at Kitty and asked in a rather cold voice, "You've just said that you saw her slip with your own eyes, right?"

"Little boy, you shouldn't get involved in this matter. You better get out of here," said Kitty in a scornful tone. A sly smile appeared on her face.

She did not take Charlie seriously at all.

However, Charlie ignored Kitty's words and said again, "Please answer my question."

Kitty hesitated for a while. She took a glance at Charles only to realize that he didn't have any plans to stop his son. So she looked at Charlie and impatiently said, "Little boy, I have already said many times that I saw her slip but I don't know why Sheryl is still slandering me. Do you understand now?"

When he heard Kitty's words, Charlie sneered. Then he said, "Really? That's just what you want people to believe. But, what if I tell you that I saw you push Sher into the pool? You even dare pretend that you care about her. What a hypocritical woman!"

"Why are you telling a shabby lie this time?" Kitty asked. She was so anxious when she heard Charlie's statements. All the blame was laid on her now. She didn't know how to get out of this trouble. Out of exasperation, Kitty glared at Charlie and said, "Don't get involved yourself here. You better get out as soon as possible. You nasty ill-bred creature! This is none of your business! Don't try to make troubles here!"

Kitty was so indignant that she couldn't control herself anymore and said such harsh remarks to Charlie. After a short pause, she continued, 'You are just a kid. We can't believe what you just said." "Why can't we believe him?" Charles butted in. He also glared at Kitty and said, "He is my son and I know how to educate him. It's you who are just talking nonsense here. Don't you know that it's inappropriate to say such harsh words to a kid?"

He stared at Kitty and paused for a few seconds. Then he continued, "He is my biological son and I know him well. I can tell if he is lying or not. So, are you still going to continue your sophistry?"

Kitty was take aback and said, "Mr. Lu, I didn't mean it. Please don't misunderstand me." Kitty suddenly realized that she was too rude to say those words to a kid so she tried to explain herself. She looked at Charles and hastily said, "Mr. Lu, I was just so anxious that I said those harsh remarks to Charlie. I didn't mean them. And I didn't really push Sheryl. Please believe me."

However, Charles just sneered and replied, "Charlie is telling the truth. Kitty, I think it's best that I call the police right now. I'm sure they would find out what really happened here."

Kitty's face turned pale upon hearing Charles mention the police. The models who supported her and spoke for her earlier also kept silent. They were aware that things had turned the other way around. Obviously, they would not implicate themselves.

All of a sudden, Kitty remembered the bottle of wine which Charles drank earlier. The effect of the drug should have manifested by now. But, why was he still awake? At the thought of this, Kitty realized that something was not right.

"Mr. Lu, you..." Kitty stuttered. "Are you really going to do that?" asked Kitty in a rather shaky voice. She laughed grimly and continued, "Even if you call the police, I would still say the same thing. I would definitely not admit something I didn't do. You have to be clear about that."

"I assure you that you will confess what you have done," Charlie said abruptly in a loud voice. His words caught everyone's attention. All their eyes were on him.

Sheryl also turned to him and said in a soft tone, "Charlie, don't get involved in this matter please. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry. I will handle this. Just go and play with Shirley."

"Sher, don't worry about me. I have an evidence to prove your innocence. It is this woman who pushed you into the pool." Charlie then turned to Charles as if waiting for his approval. When Charles nodded slightly, he looked at Kitty with a sly smile and said, "Dare to take a bet on me?"
