The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 175

Yvonne saw Charles became so furious for the first time. She could hardly breathe with his hands firmly gripping her throat. While struggling to push his hands, she begged in panic, "Charles... let me go!"

"Mr. Lu, let go of her throat or you will kill her." 'Yvonne deserves to die, but I can't kill her or I'll be sentenced to death, ' Charles reasoned with himself.

Charles slowly released his firm grip and asked Yvonne with an anxious look, "Tell me why is she still in a coma? I must warn you that if you don't tell me the truth I will not spare you like I did this time! "

Yvonne had sank to the ground in a bid to catch her breath. She was coughing and wheezing. After a few moments, she calmed down and answered, "I... I don't know. I have no idea of what happened."

She did not have the courage to tell him the truth. She knew if she did tell him the truth she would soil all her chances to approach Charles.

Charles threatened as he raised his hand, "Are you sure?" He had never hit a woman, but today Yvonne had totally tested his nerves. Aron grabbed Charles by his hand and threw Yvonne hard to a corner. He said to Charles, "Mr. Lu, it's all right if she doesn't tell us the truth. We still have one witness over there."

Charles composed himself and walked straight up to that man.

Charles observed that man discreetly and said, "I know you from somewhere." With a cold smile he continued his interrogation, "You have worked with Rachel before. I heard that you are a little famous in the show business. What if I post photos of your current look online? I think that will successfully destroy your show career..."

People like him cared the most about their reputation and status. Without those two pillars he could hardly survive in the entertainment circle. Charles knew it very well which played to his advantage.

"What... do you want?" he asked with fear in his eyes. His frivolous reputation was already widely known in the show circle. When Rachel had approached him with this situation, the only thing he asked was whether the woman was beautiful.

When he met Autumn he was struck by her beauty. However, now he realized his career and reputation were more important than a woman. Therefore, he shook his head and responded with a panic struck look, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything that I know."

Charles sneered, "Who sent you here? Rachel planned this, didn't she?"

The man nodded, "Yes, you are right. It was Rachel. She told me that she could introduce me to the director, Mr. Song as long as I did her this favor. You know that he..."

"Enough, I have heard enough!" He wasn't interested in what Rachel promised him. He proceeded, "What did Rachel do to her? Why hasn't her woken up yet?"

"Just... a little common knockout drops. I swear." The man trembled with fear as he implored, "Mr... Mr. Lu, please spare me this time. I will not repeat my actions ever again."

'If Rachel had told me that the woman on the bed was Mrs. Lu I would have turned down the offer. Rachel has set me up, ' the man complained to himself.

Aron pointed at Yvonne who was squatting on the ground and asked the man with a scornful smile, "Tell me, why is she here? And what was her role in this plot?"

"She... was sent here by Miss Bai. She assisted me in bringing... Mrs. Lu here. Rachel said she would go ahead and bring the media here. Mr. Lu, please forgive me. I really didn't know that she is your wife. I..."

Hearing this, Yvonne sat on the floor without uttering a word in her defense as her face turned pale with fear.

After ensuring that Autumn was safe Charles was relieved. He looked at Yvonne and that man as he was lost in his thoughts.
