The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1009

With a sneer, George remarked, "Someone is willing to abandon a good life and get herself into trouble. She is digging her own grave. It's her own fault."

Sheryl looked at him as she said gingerly, "You should know that I will not just let Holley get away. She is like a ticking time bomb, so I will go to great lengths to throw her back into jail. Hopefully, you will not stop me.

I know you like her very much. But I couldn't let her off this time. She isn't good enough for you."

"Sheryl," George called out, as he narrowed his eyes. "I know Holley did many terrible things to you. I could understand how you are dying to get even with her. But could you give me some time? I want to put her behind bars myself."

After reading all the reports, he felt like a fool. He was eager to take care of Holley himself so he came up with a plan.

"What?" Sheryl exclaimed as George's words took her by surprise. She overcame her shock, engrossed in her thought. Apart from herself, George was also Holley's victim. Now that he volunteered to deal with Holley, she didn't have any reason to refuse his offer. But she was worried that he would not be able to bring her down. She asked him with a skeptical look, "Could you do this?"

"Yes, I could," he assured her with confidence.

"Well, I will leave her to you," she agreed. She arched her eyebrows and reminded him, "Holley is never easy to deal with. I will give you a week. If you failed, I would do it myself."

George nodded, "It will not take that long."

He stood up from his seat and bowed before her. With a guilty expression, he apologized sincerely, "I would like to say sorry for what I did to you before, Sheryl. I used to help Holley bring you down. But I would never do it again. You could mark my word."

"Please don't do this," she gasped with flurry, as she hurried to get up and helped George up. "Holley was behind all of this. You had nothing to do with it. You didn't need to apologize to me," she continued as the man stayed still.

He straightened up and eyed her with guilt. "Anyway, I was partly to blame. Had I found out Holley's true colors earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much. It was all my fault," he insisted.

"Stop blaming yourself," she persisted. She took pity on him as he put all the blame on himself. "Now you knew the truth. You were deceived by Holley, so I don't blame you."

She gave him a warm smile and urged, "The food is getting cold. You should have some now."

"No, thanks. I got something to do," he declined. "Sheryl, I would like to treat you and Charles to a meal another day. I hope you won't turn me down. I want to do something to make amends."

"You shouldn't be so formal with me," she responded with a smile. "I yearned for nothing as long as you could bring Holley to justice.

I don't want to see her get more people in trouble." "I will," George responded before taking his leave.

Sheryl's eyes fell on the untouched food. As a frugal person, she decided to bring it back to the company. She gave it to those who hadn't had breakfast yet.
