The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 145

Despite being very angry, Yvonne feigned weakness as she looked fearfully at Autumn.

It took Autumn some time before deciding to say yes.

She couldn't just ignore something that concerned her grandmother.

Autumn followed Yvonne as she walked to a corner. "Just tell me what happened to Grandma!" Autumn faced her, demanding an answer.

Yvonne suddenly turned around, slapping her sister in the face.

It happened so fast that Autumn wasn't able to dodge it.

"Autumn, how many times do I need to tell you that you're just my substitute?! You better put yourself in your rightful place. Do you really think that Charles is interested in you?

Charles only loves me. And the Cloud Advertising Company is mine. Do you understand?"

Yvonne felt that this wasn't fair. Autumn had always been second best even since they were children. Besides, she was the one who abandoned Charles, not the other way around. She couldn't just sit and let it pass now that he seemed to treat Autumn well and Autumn seemed to love it.

She was determined to get Charles back.

"Is that all you want to say?" Autumn said, touching her aching cheek as she looked at Yvonne.

"What else do you think we should talk about?" she replied with a sneer, making her sarcasm more evident.

"If it weren't for Charles, I wouldn't even want to see you at all."

Yvonne paused as she made herself clear with her following statement.

"Remember this. From now on, you should not take whatever it is that he tries to give you. You should also tell him that you're not fit to be the general manager and recommend me as your replacement. Got it?"

Autumn sneered back in response. "Is there anything else?

Allow me to make myself clear. I only married Charles at first to solve your problems. But now that I am his wife, I have the right to take anything that he gives me, not just the Cloud Advertising Company, but the Shining Company as well. As for giving you the Cloud Advertising Company, don't even dream about it."

Yvonne turned pale upon hearing this and said, "How dare you… You don't want to see that old bitch after all, do you? I…"

Yvonne wasn't able to complete her sentence as Autumn slapped her in the face. She would never allow Yvonne to insult her Grandma.

"I'm warning you now, Yvonne. If you dare insult Grandma again, I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget. Don't assume that you can do or say anything you like just because Mom doesn't stop you. From now on, I will not consider her my mother nor you as my sister."

Autumn took a deep breath to calm herself down. "You'd better start acting kind if you want to stay here. Believe it or not, I can throw you out anytime I like, " she added.

Yvonne was frozen in shock. She couldn't believe what Autumn was saying. She didn't know she could be that fearless.

"I think you're forgetting the fact that I can just tell Charles who you really are, " she said in an attempt to threaten her.

This might have worked on Autumn in the past, but now that Charles knew who she really was, she was no longer afraid of Yvonne's threat. "Do it. Let's see what he'll do when he finds out that you left him at the altar, " she said without hesitation.

Deciding she didn't want to spend any more time with Yvonne, she turned and left the scene. All she knew was that she had to find her Grandma immediately or else Wendy might do something horrible.

That night, Autumn went to dinner with Charles and Isla, but she couldn't take the events of that afternoon off her mind. They noticed that Autumn seemed to be distracted during dinner. Fortunately, in the middle of the meal, Charles had to take a call, leaving Isla alone with her. "What's the matter? You look so anxious."
