His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1275 For A Woman

"What brings you here, Isla? It's so late now. Did you drive here all by yourself?" Nick asked in a

worried tone as he put the teapot on the table.

Seeing that Nick was as gentle as a girl, Isla couldn't help laughing and said, "It's only been a few days

since we last met, but you've become so wordy!"

Embarrassed, Nick lowered his head. Although she was right about the fact that he was changed by a

woman, he was unwilling to tell Isla about it.

Recently, Cassie had been making daily trips to his house to bring him delicious soup. She was also

considerate enough to often do house cleaning.

Every morning before he headed for work, Nick would always look around his house. His house

suddenly made him feel he was in a strange place. Although each of the furnishings here was very

familiar to him, he always had a strange feeling when he looked at them as a whole.

After spending a lot of time with Cassie, Nick found himself unconsciously influenced by her. He was

now more caring and considerate of others. And now that he was facing Isla, who was more like part of

his family, he naturally behaved like a gentleman.

Isla stared at Nick, his cheeks now pink, as he avoided her eyes. Seeing Nick look embarrassed, Isla

decided to stop teasing him anymore. Then, at the thought of something unpleasant, she couldn't help

sighing.

"What's wrong? Why the sudden cloud in your eyes?" Nick asked in surprise, raising his head. His Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

earlier expression had now been replaced by a worried look.

"It's because of Sher. She's been in trouble lately," Isla explained.

Anxious, Nick asked, "What's the matter? She never mentioned anything."

"Do you still not know her personality by now? She is not someone who complains about others. She

would rather swallow her anger whenever someone does her wrong. Even if Sher and I work in the

same company, she has never opened up to me. She won't tell me what has happened to her. But as

you know, other people talk. And so I've heard that she's been in big trouble lately..."

"What exactly is the problem?" Nick immediately asked, his forehead creased with worry.

Seeing that Nick was so concerned, Isla felt that she made the right decision to come to him. She knew

that Sheryl was likely to keep the secret from her. After all, two women were mutually exclusive.

Besides, they knew each other too well because they saw each other very often. On the contrary,

Sheryl regarded Nick as her own brother. So Isla thought it was okay if she would pour out her heart to

him.

With this taken into consideration, Isla did not waste time and quickly told Nick everything she had

heard about Sheryl.

She first started with a disclaimer that the information she had was not directly coming from Sheryl, but

a collection of other people's accounts. "That's how it happened. Leila tried to frame Sher and she was

so unlucky that she fell right into her trap. The bitch clearly fooled everyone around her. She pretended

to be filial and warm-hearted in front of Melissa. She also staged an innocent girl in front of Charles.

She schemed to make Sher her scapegoat. Unfortunately, Melissa discovered Sher's weakness

because of her negligence. If only Melissa hadn't fallen down the stairs, things would have not been so

bad. Alas! Even if Charles is not close to his mother, it is impossible for him to completely disregard her

since they are related by blood. After all, Melissa is his biological mother."

Upon hearing Isla's story, Nick finally understood what was wrong with Sheryl recently. He was sullen,

frowning. He tried calling Sheryl yesterday but she never answered his calls. That just proved that she

was in a bad mood at that time.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "What can I do, Isla? Sher doesn't want us to get

involved so there's nothing that we can do."

"There must be something you can do for her," Isla insisted. Her eyes fixed on Nick's puzzled face. She

began to explain, "Sher has always regarded you as her own brother. If she has something on her

mind, she will tell you more or less, but you'll need to ask her. Once she opens up to you, just pretend

that you've just heard about it and take that as an opportunity to comfort her. If it makes her feel better,

that's great. If she is still depressed, then there's nothing more that we can do to help her." Isla waited

as Nick seemed to take it in.

"If you'd ask me, the hardest nuts to crack now are Leila and Sher's mother-in-law, Melissa. If we are

able to expose their plot, Charles will be reconciled with Sher," Nick suggested persuasively.

"I hope it's as easy as you say it is. Melissa has always regarded Sher as an eyesore. Since she has

discovered Sher's secret, I don't think she would easily give up torturing her. What's more important,

Leila finds Charles young and attractive. She has her eyes fixed on him ever since they met, and has

been taking all opportunities to seduce him. Until the cause of Leila's poisoning has been investigated,

Charles will continue to put the blame on Sher. So, the crux of the matter is Charles' attitude towards

Sher," Isla concluded.

After hearing Isla's thoughts, Nick suddenly seemed to understand something. "I've got an idea. In fact,

isn't it just right that we should first let Charles know that Sher was innocent, and that it was all a trap

designed by his mother and Leila?"

Isla nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right. But it'll be harder to do that. Charles was made to believe

that his mother had fallen down the stairs because of Sher. Moreover, Melissa insisted that it was

Sher's fault, so she didn't want to see her until now. It's almost an insoluble problem," Isla said,

frowning. Their discussion seemed to be leading nowhere and she hated how helpless they were.

However, Nick thought otherwise. He thought that the first thing to do was find Sheryl and ask her what

she thought. Then he wanted to work things out with her.

The room was smokey. The lights were dimmed while a few colorful strobe lights were rotating from

corners of the room. The sexy music was blaring. Looking at the intimacy between the shareholders

and the flirtatious women, Holley expected that the next scene would be even worse. With a serious

look on her face, she got up and called everyone's attention. "Excuse me, I have something urgent to

do and I must leave now. I've already settled the bill, so you can just continue to enjoy yourselves. If

you don't feel convenient, you can also go to find another place to continue. As for the shares, please

consider my offer again. I'm waiting for your good news."

Upon hearing that she was leaving, the shareholders all began to smile, a lewd look on their faces.

Nodding absentmindedly, they continued flirting with the women in their arms. Instantly, the room was

filled with an erotic atmosphere. It seemed like the monsters in them had just been freed as they

continued with their shameless and lustful acts.

As soon as Holley left, the men became more brazen. They started teasing the women lewdly while

saying nasty things ceaselessly. A few minutes later, they all tacitly took away the women in their arms

and took them to a nearby hotel.

After everyone else had walked out, the only one left was a calm young man who had been sitting in a

corner.

His name was Black Hu, the current general manager of the Hu Group. As the only son of the president

of the Hu Group, he was destined to succeed his father sooner or later and acquire a higher status.

According to news, this handsome young man became the general manager of the Hu Group as soon

as he had returned from abroad. Undoubtedly, the current leader of the Hu Group was very satisfied

with how he had been performing.

At the moment, an enigmatic smile creeped on Black Hu's face. Indifferent to the earlier lascivious

scene in the room, he was sitting calmly in the corner.

In his eyes, the vulgar scene earlier in the room was so disgusting.

In fact, he also came here tonight just for a woman.

And that woman was Holley!
