Remy's words felt like nails piercing into Holly's skin. It was too cruel, but it was the truth.
Not a lot of people knew about the Collins family, but Holly remembered everything. After all, it was her mother's
side of the family. After Westley fell in love with Helena, the Collins family took advantage of their relationship.
Everyone thought highly of the family that was soon going to be in-laws with the Morris family. They became a
powerhouse in Antawood overnight.
True enough, the blessings rained down on the Edwards family too.
In the rise and fall of the Collins family, Westley was at the center. They skyrocketed to the top when he chose
Helena's love, but they fell from grace just as quickly when Nellie, the second daughter, offended him. Now, they were a shamed household. Only a few people cared about them and their business also declined greatly. Like a ripple effect, the Edwards family also suffered.
However, the Collins family had no one else to blame. They brought it upon themselves.
Westley’s influence was his greatest power. Not only could he control the economy of their city, but he also held people's lives in the palm of his hand. He was untouchable.
And now, Holly had done something Westley despised. Remy was unsympathetic.
“Remy, please... I know I can't ask Westley to forgive me... And I won't even dare to do so. Can you ask him to come and see me? I need to tell him that I will accept any punishment, but please, leave the Edwards family out of it,"
Holly pleaded.
‘It's no use, Holly. You better give up now. Westley doesn't want to see you,” Remy said coldly.
He couldn't care less what Holly wanted.
‘I'm not giving up. I want to see Westley, or I'll really slash my wrists!" Holly shouted.
Remy didn't take her threat seriously. If she really wanted to hurt herself, he would let her do it.
He said nothing to persuade her otherwise.
Remy thought she was being manipulative. Such people didn't deserve sympathy. If he showed her an ounce of pity, she would keep asking him for bigger favors in the future. _
“Holly, do you really think that's going to work?" His tone was cold as ice.
“You think I'm just kidding, don't you? You think I won't do it?" Remy’s indifference was pissing her off. She couldn't take it anymore.
“Why would you threaten me with your own life in the first place? What will you gain from it? Such a thing won't work on Westley either. You're just wasting your time. Now, are you going to let me treat your injuries or not?"
Remy sighed.
“You're heartless, Remy. If you don't believe me, then... " Holly's words trailed off and she swiped the knife in an instant.
