The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1046

Sheryl frowned and looked at Holley wordlessly. Her gaze was cool and unbothered.

She wished that she could somehow control Holley's actions, or at least be able to read her mind. She was willing to do anything so that they wouldn't have to be in such a messy situation. After all, Holley was her biological sister.

"Sheryl, when you lost your memory, did you lose your mind as well?" Holley mocked, with a cold smile that made her seem like a psycho. She looked at Sheryl with equally cold eyes. "So, what makes you think you have the right to interfere in my affairs?"

"I know you think low of me," Sheryl answered in a low voice. She felt a weird combination of anger, pity and disgust. "To be frank, I don't want anything to do with you either. But nothing can change the relationship between us. We share the same DNA. No matter how we try to deny it, the same blood flows in our veins."

Sheryl paused for a while and gave Holley a puzzled look. Then she added, "When I heard that you had managed to escape from prison, I was actually quite happy for you. But there's just one thing I can't figure out. You could have spent your days happily with George, enjoying a good life. Why did you insist on coming back here?"

"I'm glad you asked. I came back because I can't stand the thought of you and Charles living happily together!" Holley spat, with pure contempt in her eyes. She gave a wild cackle and told Sheryl, "When mom died, I made a vow. As long as I still breathe, I will never let you lead an easy life."

Holley smiled bitterly and continued, "Do you want to know what mom told me before she died? She told me to never let you get away. And so here I am, back to make your life miserable, dear sister."

"Is that so?" Sheryl couldn't hold back a dry laugh when she heard Holley's words.

To think that her own biological mother would say such things on her deathbed. Even though she had not had a good relationship with her mother, it still came as a shock to her.

Holley looked back at Sheryl with a curious look. She asked inquisitively, "It's been so many years. Don't you ever feel guilty at nights before you go to sleep? No matter what, she was still your mother. She carried you in her tummy for 9 months and suffered through labor to give birth to you. She loved you and cared for you. Aren't you afraid karma will come for you because of the way you treated her?"

Sheryl gazed into Holley's eyes confidently. She didn't feel threatened by her at all. "I did feel sad at first. But I kept reminding myself that she reaped what she sowed. She was asking for trouble in the first place. It may be too late for her, but it's still not too late for you. You still have the opportunity to turn your life around. Don't make the same mistakes as mom or you'll end up exactly like her."

"Shut up! How could you say such things?!" Holley raised her voice, her face flushed with anger. "Don't you even think you can manipulate me with your words. I will never give up this vengeance. I'm going to make you pay if it's the last thing I do. It's the only thing that keeps me going, the only life goal I have. Only when I have avenged our mother, then I will be happy."

Sheryl sighed tiredly and said, "Whatever makes you happy. I have better things to do than worry about you."

She knew that no matter what she said, it was impossible to change Holley's mind. It was better to just give up now than waste her own time and energy.

She was just about to turn and leave when Holley suddenly grabbed her arm. "Where do you think you're going? We're not done here yet. I still have a lot of things to say to you! Why the big rush? Is the guilt catching up to you?"

"Let go of me!" Sheryl shook off Holley's hand. She was starting to feel annoyed by Holley's stubbornness. She was just about to scold Holley when they heard a male voice say, "Holley, what do you think you're doing?"
