"Despite our careful and thorough investigation, Holley's origin and background remain unknown to us, Aunt Donna. And her appearance in Y City is virtually mysterious," Sula said.
"I deeply suspect that Holley has an ulterior motive," she added. Realizing Sula's words, Donna urged her,"Sula, you are supposed to win George's heart and and make your romantic relationship official. I hope you won't let me down."
"Aunt Donna, rest assured that I will do my best." Sula was determined to best Holley first before granting Donna's request to pursue a romantic relationship with George.
Seeing that Sula was confident and determined, Donna felt satisfied.
"Holley, that bitch is said to be a native of Y City. Since we are here, we should try our best to unveil her pretense," Donna sneered. She felt gleeful about their plan.
A moment later, George arrived. Donna motioned him to sit and join them for dinner. His favorite dishes were on the table.
"No, thanks," George refused. Apparently, he was annoyed.
"What is the matter with you?" Donna asked. She glance at George and said nonchalantly,"Are you still worried about Holley's condition?"
"Definitely! Holley's condition is my biggest concern," replied George with a sneer. "You should be fully aware of it, Mom."
"That bitch has sown bitter dissensions between us," Donna seethed with indignation. "George, how could you be so beguiled by her that you ignore our blood relation just like that?"
"Mom, Holley has nothing to do with this. It's your attitude that's ruining our relationship. I think you are too unseemly to win my respect and regard." George sneered and continued,"As far as I know, Holley treated you with utmost courtesy just to get along with you. But you..."
George could never find any justifications for Donna's maltreatment to Holley.
"My dear son, Holley is just misleading you so you would hate me," Donna countered vehemently. She couldn't let George just put all the blames on her.
"That's enough, Mom," George cut her off. He forced a smile and added,"Don't worry, Holley still thinks highly of you despite all the slurs you've casted on her."
Some people in the hospital reported to George that Donna had mistreated Holley.
Donna was rendered speechless, and marveled at Holley's perfect scheme against her.
