The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1460

After Leila thought everything through, she felt excitement flowing within her. Happiness was written all over her face; she was going back to the Lu family soon enough.

But a moment later, the smile on her face faded away. 'Even though I know Melissa's weakness, what can I do with that information?' Leila thought, 'Holley said that I should find out what Melissa wanted the most, but she never told me what exactly to do. I can't just walk to her and give her a load of cash, right?

Besides, I don't even have enough money to buy a decent meal. How can I lure Melissa in with the small amount I have?'

Leila frowned. She felt lost again, feeling incapable of doing anything at all.

But it didn't bother her for too long. 'If I can't think of a good way to deal with Melissa, then I should just let Holley find a way. I'm not the one who's in a hurry to knock down Sheryl.'

Leila made a quick decision. She reached out for her phone and called Holley. "Holley, you asked me what Melissa cared about the most. I know the answer to that puzzle."

"Really? Tell me," Holley said. It seemed like she was busy with something else. Leila could hear the ruffle of papers and files.

"Money. Melissa loves money more than anything else. It is more important to her than her life," Leila said confidently. She was not sure if Holley would believe her words, so she stated some incidents regarding Melissa to make herself sound convincing.

At last, she asked, "Holley, what should we do with Melissa? How do we gain her trust, now that we know what she desires the most?"

Holley was more than satisfied with Leila's information. She thought, 'If Melissa loves money, then it makes things much simpler.

It means that we can buy her trust. Any problem that can be dealt with money is no longer a problem at all.'

A grin appeared on Holley's face; she was so sure that she was going to succeed this time. She felt like Melissa was already one of her allies.

"Leila, you said that you own a lingerie shop, right? Tell Melissa that you will give her half of the profit you earn from your business," Holley suggested. That was the first idea that struck Holley.

But Leila wasn't pleased. 'I've been working day and night, spent a lot of money and put in a pile of effort into opening my shop. And I'm finally starting to see some progress. Profits will soon flow in. What am I supposed to do if I give away half of my profit to Melissa right now? I can't agree to this suicidal plan!' Leila thought to herself angrily.

'Holly is the general manager of Tarsan Corporation! She's so freaking rich, but she can't spare a penny to pay Melissa. And she wants me to pay for this plan to work!'

She became more unhappy about Holley's idea. When she spoke again, her words were cold.
