The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 174

When Charles mentioned his wife, Aron recalled what she said to him. Aron then fought the urge to push Becky away and spoke to her in a soft tone, "It's okay. I need to talk with him for a while. You can have some food there. I'll catch up with you in a bit."

"Sure. No problem." This was the first time that Aron spoke to Becky in such a polite manner. She was thrilled and wondered whether this was Aron's way of accepting her now.

Becky tugged on Aron's sleeve and said in a cheerful voice, "I'll wait for you right over there."

"Okay." Aron nodded in acknowledgement. After Becky left, Aron spoke to Charles, "I went back to the hall after talking to Mrs. Lu. I think it's been about fifteen minutes. What happened?"

"Fifteen minutes..." Charles realized that something bad must have happened with Autumn. Rachel's vicious eyes came before his sight. His intuition was leading him to believe that Rachel had something to do with Autumn going missing so abruptly.

Aron could tell from Charles' concerned and stressed look that something was wrong. "Mr. Lu, let's hurry up in our efforts to find her." Aron suggested with a frown.

Autumn had made her first public appearance as Charles' wife today, so needless to say countless of eyes were fixed on her. Several people, who had seen Yvonne take Autumn away, helped Aron and Charles with the way. They went upstairs following the direction. Aron immediately asked the hotel manager to send him the surveillance video. It was indeed Yvonne who took Autumn away.

Upon seeing the surveillance video Aron let out a murderous look. However, Charles was so worried about Autumn that he didn't notice it.

"They are here." Through the surveillance video they saw that Yvonne took Autumn to Room 1805. "Here's the room card." Aron said with a worried look as he handed Charles the room card.

Charles took the card and was about to insert it in the slot when the door opened from the inside and Yvonne appeared.

Aron responded very quickly and pinned Yvonne against the wall. Charles broke into the room and was shocked at what he witnessed. A man was taking off his clothes while Autumn lay unconscious on the bed.

"Who are you?" The man yelled as he was startled by the men. He immediately wrapped his body with a towel.

"Babe, babe..." Charles ignored the man and held Autumn in his arms while calling her repeatedly to snap her out of her slumber. He trembled with fear. He knew if he hadn't reached the room in time, Autumn would have been raped.

Autumn was in a drug induced coma and was unable to hear Charles calling her. Yvonne's face paled with shock at the appearance of Charles. The reason why she readily collaborated with Rachel was that she intended to make Rachel the scapegoat. But it never occurred to her that Charles would find out about the entire plan before Autumn was raped. More importantly, she was caught red handed and there was no way she could escape.

Yvonne was facing the wall and had no idea about who had pinned her against the wall. She struggled hard as her movement was restricted. She yelled out helplessly, "Release me you scoundrel!"
