The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1003

"And how about you?" Donna quizzed. "I have to admit that you are the best liar I have seen."

"I love George wholeheartedly," Holley said, her voice devoid of any emotions. "Believe it or not, I am serious about him."

"Save it, Holley!" Donna cast a sharp glance at Holley and said defiantly, "Murderers like you cannot love anyone."

"You!" Caught off-guard by Donna's comment, Holley was flurried and she didn't know how to snap back. After collecting herself, she took a cold look at Donna and said calmly, "Believe it or not, I have never hurt anyone. The real killer is that bitch, Sheryl. My father and mother died because of her."

She couldn't hide her resentment towards Sheryl as she mentioned her name. Her face twitched in anger and she continued to put dirt on her sister's name. "She is a bloody jinx to everyone around her! Had I learnt that earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to let my mother keep her in our family and she wouldn't have ended up in prison and passed away like that."

"Come on, Holley! It's just you and me here, so you can stop acting," Donna said. "I wouldn't have brought this up if I didn't have proof. So, don't waste any time trying to defend yourself."

Donna felt pretty good as she watched Holley's face turn dark with fury. She had tried so many ways to put her son's girlfriend down. And it was the first time that she had gotten the upper hand on her.

"You chose George for his money. You thought that he could help you take revenge. It's fine that George wants to marry you and I will not stop you from doing so. But I will fire him the day you get married. You are a smart girl, so you should know what that means. George will have nothing once he leaves BM Corporation. But if you really love him, well...If you really love him, you wouldn't mind even if he becomes penniless, right?"

With a taunting laugh, she continued, "You will get nothing if you marry my son. If you don't believe me, you can go ahead with your dream wedding. I am a person of my word."

The resolve on Donna's face suggested that she wasn't joking. Staring at the lady, Holley panicked.

With a rattled expression, Holley grabbed Donna's hand and extricated herself, "Auntie, please believe me. I never did anything wrong. I really love George. Why won't you give me a chance to prove myself?"

With a pitiful look at Donna, she pleaded, "George and I have been together for years. We are in love. I can't imagine what his life would be like if I left him. I..."

"That's enough, Holley Ye. Are you not tired of this constant acting?" Donna interrupted her impatiently, as she shook her hand free from hers. "Your tricks will only work on George. You can't fool me."

Frustrated, Holley surveyed Donna. She concluded that she couldn't make her change her mind.

She gave Donna a cold glance and said with all honesty, "Fine, tell me what I can get if I agree to leave your son."

"Now, we are talking!" Donna laughed with a look of satisfaction. She was glad that Holley had finally showed her true colors.
