Isla laughed bitterly and continued, "I can't sleep, so I might as well watch it personally."
Sheryl was amused by her words. She smiled, "Set your mind at ease. I promise that there will be no accidents as long as I'm here."
Isla hesitated for a moment as she looked at Sheryl and said, "Sher, I'm not judging you, but Holley is a crazy woman. You should watch your back."
"I will." Sheryl nodded curtly. She wanted to talk to Holley after the wedding once again. If she could just let go of what had happened in the past, Sheryl was ready to let bygones be bygones too.
George and Sula's wedding was to be conducted in two different sites—one was indoors and the ceremony was to be held outdoors, on the lawn at 10:18 in the morning.
Most of George's guests were relatives from Korea. He had booked a flight to bring them in. He had only invited a few partners from Y City.
Caspar was quite pleased with the wedding arrangements. He had finally acknowledged his son-in-law.
Donna had been occupied with herself since the morning, but she still greeted Sheryl while she was checking the sound.
She greeted," Hi, Sheryl."
"Aunt Donna." Sheryl greeted her with a smile and excused herself for a moment to say something to the workers before turning back to Donna. "Aunt Donna, I thought you were busy with the guests. Why are you here?"
Sheryl knew that Donna had been entertaining the guests at the wedding.
Donna's face lit up; she could not restrain her joy.
She gave a small laugh and said, "I have to come and say hello to you no matter how busy I am."
"Aunt Donna, don't be so formal with me," Sheryl replied with a grin. "Mr. Han has paid handsomely for my help and I've earned quite a lot."
Sheryl was joking, but Donna remained serious. "You know I wasn't talking about that," said Donna.
She forced a smile and added, "Sher, the biggest wish of my life is to witness my son's wedding with Sula. And I really wouldn't have minded anyone else either, as long as it wasn't Holley."
She paused for a moment and her eyes shone with genuine happiness. "And now, my wish has finally come true. I've got what I wanted. But I know that it wouldn't have been possible without you. I really appreciate all your help."
"Aunt Donna, you are too kind," Sheryl said. "Holley did some terrible things. She deserves it."
"We are going back to Korea after the wedding," Donna said with a warm smile. "I'll invite you to dinner someday to express my gratitude."
"That's so sudden." Sheryl had thought that they would stay a little longer. She had not expected that they would go back in such a hurry.
"Actually, it's not sudden at all," said Donna. "I've been planning to leave for a long time, but this mess between George and Holley was a priority for me. I had no other choice but to stay."
She sighed and continued, "Now that everything is settled, I can finally go back to live my peaceful life there. And as for BM Corporation, I have handed it over to some very reliable people."
