The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1317

Rex had heard the rumors about the woman called Holley before, so he responded, "I know this thing. What's wrong? Does this have anything to do with you? What do you want me to help you with?"

He wondered why his son suddenly cared so much about Tarsan Corporation's issues now. If his memory served him right, Black didn't care about the companies where he had shares in. He only cared about their family's company, the Hu Group.

"Dad, I'm serious this time. I want you to support Holley as a shareholder." Black finally stated his request. When Rex heard his son's words, he suddenly looked meaningfully at his son.

He knew that Black almost never pleaded for anyone. Who was this Holley? How did she make Black help her?

"Holley? Who is she? Is it worth your pleading for her? You should know the rules of our family. I only help our own family members and Holley isn't one of them. She doesn't deserve my help," Rex said with contempt. It was clear that Rex hated Holley with the way he spoke.

When Black heard his father's words, his face turned cold and he looked seriously at Rex. He originally didn't want to reveal his relationship with Holley in such a sudden situation. He wanted to formally introduce her to his father, but now it looked like he had to break his plan.

Rex glanced at his son, and realized that he wanted to tell him something serious. His eyebrows shot up and curiosity got the better of him.

"Dad, Holley…

She is my girlfriend. She's also the only woman I want to marry in my life. I don't want her to be sad, so Dad, please help her," Black claimed. His voice was quite firm, and his eyes shone with love for Holley.

Truly, Rex was amazed. This was the first time he had seen his son speak so solemnly about a woman. He knew that his son was deeply in love with this lady.

Before, Black used to be surrounded by many women but he never cared much about them. Falling in love was rare for him. But as Black's father, he was still worried if the woman his son met really loved him.

If this Holley was honest and decent, Rex would be happy about their relationship. However, if she wanted to get money and rights from Hu family, he knew that in the end Black would suffer and get hurt.

Whenever he thought about his son getting cheated on, he felt extremely uneasy. He didn't want to see his son be played around. He suddenly felt the need to find someone to investigate this woman named Holley.

"Dad," Black called when he saw that his father had been quiet for a while.

Black's voice brought Rex back to reality, and he lowered his eyes. His face looked unreadable.

At that moment, Black felt uncomfortable. He couldn't guess what Rex had in mind.

'What if Dad refuses? I won't give up. Besides, he has never refused any of my requests since I was a child. I'm sure I'll succeed if I ask sincerely, ' Black thought and encouraged himself.

"Really now?" Rex asked. "Why haven't you talked about her before then? Maybe you're just on a whim," Rex said as he picked up his cup on the table. He slowly took a sip and waited for his son's answer.

"Dad, I really love her. I want to spend my whole life with her. I can't bear to see her have so much difficulties. Dad, I beg you. Please help me," Black pleaded.

He even tugged on Rex's sleeve and looked at him with sad eyes.

The way Black looked at him made his heart turn soft.

In fact, Black had been quite independent and capable ever since he became an adult. He seldom asked for help from his family.
