The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1071 Out Of Prison

"Miss Bai, take it easy. Let's find a place to sit and talk," Holley smiled. She didn't tell Rachel her identity, nor did she deny her question. She just looked at Rachel and smiled. After what had happened, Holley was more confident that she could make use of Rachel to get revenge on Sheryl.

Rachel nodded, thinking that this woman was really tough when she taught those girls. If she could help her deal with Autumn, then it would be much easier for her to take revenge. "I remember years ago there was a nice cafe just there. We can talk there. I just don't know whether it still exists or not," Rachel said.

"If the cafe was good enough to impress you, it must be excellent. I don't think it would close within three years, not even after thirty years," Holley replied with flattery. In fact, Holley knew the cafe Rachel mentioned. Since it was located in the airport, it was always popular. "Please, Miss Bai," Holley said.

When they arrived at the cafe, they chose a table near the window. The waitress walked over to the table. "What can I get for you?" she asked the two.

"A latte for me, please. Miss Bai, how about you?" Holley turned to ask Rachel.

"Anything is okay," Rachel answered absentmindedly. She wasn't in a great mood. She had just landed in her own country and right after she did, she was harassed by several girls. She had a feeling that this would happen more than once since she was going to be living here for a while.

"Then two lattes please," Holley told the waitresses. Holley knew that Rachel was distracted, so she ordered what she knew Rachel would like.

"Yes, Ma'am. They will be served soon." The waitress left.

"What's troubling you, Miss Bai?" Holley asked with feigned concern in her voice.

"Just those bitches just now. I'm still angry! They didn't even deserve to talk to me! I'm Rachel Bai, not some kind of ordinary woman for them to insult! Damn it!" When Rachel started venting, she felt more humiliated and upset. She took a look at Holley and added, "By the way, thanks for your help. I almost forgot to say."

"It's my pleasure. I didn't do much. Miss Bai, have you ever considered who caused all of that? You have suffered from so many hardships those years that other people couldn't imagine. Your own happy life was destroyed, and now you were even tramped by some strangers in the airport. Why? Who caused them?"

Holley's question reminded Rachel of her tragic life those years, and the only one she could blame was Autumn!

If only Autumn hadn't taken away her Charles! She would have been the prominent wife of President Lu, and all of those tragedies wouldn't have happened!

When she thought of Autumn, Rachel couldn't help feeling curious towards the woman in front of her. She asked, "Who are you anyway? Why do you know everything about me?"

"My name is Holley Ye. Like you and Autum are sworn enemies, Autumn and I are also sworn enemies. I contacted you and helped you because I want to get revenge on Autumn. You also know what a bitch she is. She doesn't deserve Mr. Lu! You and Mr. Lu are a perfect couple!" Holley smiled, satisfied at the disdainful, even hateful expression on Rachel's face. "But..."

"But what?" Rachel asked urgently.

"But Autumn Ye has changed her name. Her name is Sheryl Xia now. Even though she changed her name, Mr. Lu is still infatuated with her. It's time for us to end this bitch's happy life!" Holley cried, viciousness creeping into her eyes.

"No matter what her name is, I will let her pay since she has left me in such a dreadful situation!" Rachel swore angrily.

"Miss. Bai, I have an idea..." Holley leaned forward and whispered in Rachel's ear; since Rachel was angry enough, it was time that Holley took her plan to the next step.

When Rachel heard what Holley had to say, a grin spread across her face.

While Rachel and Holley were plotting, far away on the other side, Melissa was about to be released from prison.

"Aunt Melissa, congratulations! You will be set free soon!" Leila was holding onto Melissa's hands, and in her voice was so much sincerity; she was truly glad for Melissa's release.

But only God knew what Leila was planning.

"Leila, you are a good girl. I've known it after spending all this time with you. A good girl like you won't be here very long. You can rest assured," Melissa replied comfortingly Although she was getting released and Leila was not, Melissa had already decided that she would help Leila get out of prison as well.

When Leila heard Melissa's words, she was overjoyed. After all, she tried her best to play with this old witch, and she deserved what was to come. If Melissa was out, as she was willing to, she should be able to help Leila.

Since Melissa said this, it meant that she swallowed her bait. All she needed to do now was to polish and finish it. She must grasp the moment. In a soft, coy voice, she said, "Aunt Melissa, I know you are always kind to me. But since I made mistakes, even though I didn't intend to, I should receive the punishment. I don't have any other wishes now. I only hope that I can complete my sentence and be set free as soon as possible. Then I will find a guy who loves me and marry him."

Melissa looked at her beautiful but troubled face, and she felt that she really liked this girl. The idea was even stronger in her mind. "All right. Take care of yourself without me," Melissa said.

"I will, Aunt Melissa. Don't worry about me," Leila replied. She kept looking at Melissa with innocent eyes.

When they were talking, two prison guards came over. "Melissa Shen!" they called.

"Yes, sir!" After so many years, Melissa got used to the standard formal voice and body gestures that she and the other prisoners must use to address the guards.

As she answered the guard's call, she told herself that her time in prison was finally over! She was free!

Alas! Her son! Her son who she had been missing for fifteen years! She could finally see him again. Her excitement was beyond imagination now.

Melissa followed the prison guards to the entrance and completed all of the paperwork. After she signed one document, a guard put her clothes in her hands and gave her one last order. "Observe the law and discipline yourself after you get out. Don't come back here."

"Thank you, sir!" Melissa bowed deeply. When she straightened again, the door was open in front of her.

She walked out slowly. It was an extremely beautiful day; the sky was bright and sunny-maybe a little too sunny, as Melissa became momentarily blinded by the sheer brightness of the sun. Suddenly, she was confused as to where she needed to go.

It was the iron gate of the prison that divided her life from the outside world for 15 years. For 15 years! She lost all 15 years behind the gate. Beyond the gate always was her freedom and her son, whom she knew she owed those 15 years of her life.

While she was gone, there were undoubtedly people seeking to do him harm all around, and she wasn't there to protect him from them. But now-now she was free and she could shield him from everyone and clear up the mess they would have caused to him! She would be like an angel swooping in and saving her son from the destruction of life.

Sheryl Xia?

No matter whether that bitch was Sheryl or Sherry, she wouldn't dream of staying with her son anymore.

Right now, there was only one problem: when she was sent to jail, no one in her family knew about it. Everyone else assumed that she was dead, so she had to come up with a perfect disguise to go to Dream Garden as to not shock a lot of people.

Otherwise, even her own son, Charles, might not believe and accept her.
