Chapter 1377 Lifted A Finger
Chapter 1377 Lifted A Finger
Both Leila and Melissa lost their appetite. They took a few bites and went back to their own bedrooms,
as if some monsters were chasing them
When she was in her bedroom, Leila remembered something which was interrupted by Melissa just
now. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Benjamin. Can you help me look for a girl? It isn't like looking for a needle in a haystack. I will
text you three locations. Can you do me a favor and go to those places?" Leila asked sincerely.
"Leila, we're friends. Sure, I will be glad to help you. Text me later. And remember to send me a picture
of the person you are looking for so that I can recognize her." Benjamin said yes to Leila, which made
her breathe a sigh of relief. She needed to find Shirley in three days. It would be an impossible mission
if she did it on her own, since time was limited. She decided to ask for help.
"Thank you so much, Benjamin. I will text you now."
"No problem. It's just to lift a linger."
"I really appreciate it, Benjamin. Please call me if you have any updates. She's a missing child from my
relatives. We're very worried now." Leila exaggerated it, trying to make Benjamin be serious about this.
Benjamin was startled. A missing child was a big issue. He fully understood Leila's anxiety and worry,
so he assured Leila from the other end of the phone, "I promise, I will try my best to find the kid and
bring her back to you as long as I find her."
Leila still couldn't fall asleep after she hung up. She felt like she couldn't breathe as this issue had been
weighing in her mind.
She tossed and turned until midnight.
At midnight, Leila was so anxious that she got up and sneaked out from her bedroom.
She tiptoed to Sheryl's bedroom. She opened the door easily and slipped into it.
It was very dark inside. Wind shook the curtain against the window. Leila walked to the window in
darkness and opened the window very carefully. The bright moonlight shone through the window and
into the bedroom. Leila got to study Sheryl under the moonlight.
Sheryl was sleeping. She looked quite and paleness didn't reduce her beauty at all. Her skin was as
smooth and white as milk. Her lips were perfect and her eyelashes were thick and long, like a baby
doll. She had the cutest button nose. Her neck was as slender as an axe rod and below it were her
sexy collarbones.
Sheryl was like the sleeping beauty.
However, the more beautiful and peaceful Sheryl was, the more eager Leila was to destroy her.
Leila was jealous of Sheryl's beauty. She wished that Sheryl could disappear in this world forever so
that Sheryl could not distract Charles' attention any more.
Sheryl used her pretty face to seduce Charles! Leila got angrier and angrier. Why could Sheryl sleep
tight here. Why could she have two wonderful kids? And why could she enjoy all Charles' love and
care?
It was unfair!
Wonderful things were created to be destroyed.
Leila squinted and ground her teeth. She looked like a demon, scary, especially in this quiet night. If
other people could see her in this bedroom, they would think she was insane.
Jealousy was like a monster, devouring Leila. She felt like she was a rat in the ditch right now, peeking
on Sheryl and ready to attack her.
Leila was so jealous. Her anger and jealousy towards Sheryl grew stronger and stronger, torturing her.
Leila used to be an outsider, looking Sheryl and Charles showing in public. They were perfect match
and that was very upsetting for Leila.
She used to dream for many times that she was the one who stood next to Charles. But the fact was
that she was like a clown, standing next to them silently and listening to others praising Charles and
Sheryl, which made Leila clench her fists.
Now that Leila finally got the chance to be closer to Charles and his family, she couldn't lose this game.
The closer she was to him, the deeper her love was until she totally fell in love with him and thought
she couldn't live without him.
Charles' handsome look, charm and his determination as the leader of the Shining Company attracted
Leila.
But Sheryl stood in her way. The closer Leila was to Charles, the more clearly she saw Sheryl and
Charles' relationship.
After she moved in, Leila noticed the way Charles looked at Sheryl and the way he took care of her.
And they had two wonderful kids, who were the symbol of their love and also the origin of Leila's
hatred.
Sheryl seemed to be the happiest woman in the world. She had everything. How could Leila not be
jealous?
Especially now, all Leila wanted was to kick Sheryl out of the house so that she could pursue her true
love, so she came up with a plan to kidnap Shirley. It was faked. She didn't really mean to hurt Shirley.
She had done nothing wrong! But why? Why should she be tortured by Jim that way?
Leila didn't think Sheryl was any better than her. Why should she fall in hell whereas Sheryl lived in
heaven, enjoying all the love and care? Why were their situations so different?
This was unfair! Leila didn't believe in fate! She was the one who took charge of her life. Why should
Sheryl always live in the castle and be treated like a princess? Leila was determined to destroy Sheryl,
because in her eyes, Sheryl didn't deserve this. This world would be much better if Sheryl never
existed. Then she would be Charles' wife and she would be the host of the Lu family.
Leila totally went out of control. Her eyes became red because of anger and hatred. Sheryl brought her
nothing but pain. Leila wanted Sheryl to feel that too. She wanted Sheryl to experience the feeling of
being tortured and never getting the man she loved.
Leila thought about those painful experiences—she looking at Charles and Sheryl displaying affection
and she being ignored even hated by Charles.
And Leila would never forget that afternoon when Jim rode on top of her in that dusty room. Those pain
and desperate were still vivid.
