The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1001

George let out a cold laugh and said to Sula, "Yes, people do change. But I have never seen anyone who could change so quickly until today."

He took Holley's hand and stood up. "Holley, let's go. There is no need for us to waste our time here," he said.

George was really pissed off this time. He had come here to talk decently with his mother. And unexpectedly, Donna was more discontented with them than she was before. Was there any more reason for them to stay and be humiliated?

An imperceptible cold smile flickered on Holley's face as she looked at George's angry face.

It had been worth it for her to arrange this dinner at length.

Her aim was to have George realize that it was not Holley who was unwilling to get along with Donna, but the other way around. Her plan had been a success so far. They had all fallen in her well set trap.

As George held her hand tightly, she was deeply satisfied with the outcome. But she pretended to be upset and said in a pleading tone, "George, please don't."

"Do you still want to stay here?" Unexpectedly, George sneered at her. "Look at her attitude towards you. Do you really think that she is willing to forgive you even if you beg her to?

Holley, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here. I shouldn't have asked you to get along with her either. From now on, what goes on between us will have nothing to do with her. We will live our lives in our own terms and do whatever we choose to do."

George turned to leave and a smug satisfactory smile flashed on Holley's face because she thought that she had succeeded in creating a rift between them. But Donna jumped to her feet and spoke to Holley. "Miss Ye, if I were you, I would take a seat and make a deal right now. Do you think that you would get what you want by leaving here with George?"

"Stop trying to separate us, Mother. It's not going to happen," George said coldly. "Holley chose to be with me because she loves me. She doesn't care about my money. I'm not afraid of being suspended from my job at the company and I don't care if you disown me either. I will find my own bread and butter."

"Oh really?" Donna could not believe her ears. "I know about you better than anyone else. I am your mother, George. The only reason you are able to handle the company business is because I take care of most of your problems for you. Why don't you take a shot at a new life if you don't believe me? Do you really think that you will be able to feed Holley if you leave BM Corporation? And what would you do when you have kids? Would you be able to afford a qualified living standard for them? And if you were really in a situation like that, would she still be with you, the woman you adore so much?"

"That's none of your business," George scowled. His face grew colder. "Even if I am reduced to a beggar, I will never come back and ask for you forgiveness."

George tried to get Holley out of there, but Donna's threatening voice boomed across the room, "All right, let's see how this is going to work out for you. If you leave through this door today, I will immediately remove you from your position in the company and cancel all your cards, including your credit cards. I'd like to see if she will still stay by your side then."

"Let's go!" George said furiously. But Holley stood still without moving an inch. She looked at him, embarrassed. "George, calm down."
