The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1461

Holley knew that giving money wasn't a permanent solution and she couldn't even afford it anyway.

So giving money to Melissa who was merely speculating in the stock market was a temporary expedient. Everything Holley did was for a reason but she just didn't think it was the right time to tell Leila the truth just yet.

Leila's face turned gloomy at what Holley had just said. "Sounds good but I don't have any money anymore. I'm not sure if I can keep giving her the money."

Leila waited for Holley to respond. She was trying to tell Holley something and she couldn't say it directly so she hoped that Holley would just read between the lines. They were on the same team after all. They both wanted Leila to get back to the Lu family so Holley should be giving her money too.

Holley was smart enough to understand what Leila was saying. She understood that Leila was asking for her money. Leila thought she was being too vague but Holley saw right through her.

Holley couldn't help but look down on Leila, but she hid her disdain. Instead, she just said, "Don't worry about the money. I can handle that. All you have to do is teach Melissa about stock market speculation."

Leila heaved a sigh of relief. Holley always had her back no matter what happened.

Just as Leila was about to hang up, something occurred to her so she decided to tell Holley about it.

"Holley, Melissa is a gambling addict. She changes every time she gambles like she's a new person. All she can see is the chips. She gets pretty wild at the gambling table."

Holley didn't know about this. She didn't expect that the mother of the president of the Shining Company was a gambling addict. It was useful information. She and Leila could definitely use it in their plans.

Holley chuckled, "Wow! Thanks for that. We can use it to our advantage."

Leila didn't understand right away so she asked further, but Holley wouldn't tell her.

"Don't think about that anymore. I promise you, this is going to be easy. Melissa's just a piece of cake," Holley assured Leila and said no more.

Leila wanted to know the answer but she couldn't do anything about it.

At the hospital, Sheryl was still waiting for Cassie.

After she drove Jordan away, Sheryl was thrilled. She didn't want Jordan to steal Cassie away from Nick.

When Cassie finally came out, Sheryl stood up.

Cassie took off her mask as she was walking. She was surprised to see Sheryl, so she asked, "Sher, why are you here?"

But Sheryl just smiled at Cassie.

Cassie smiled back at Sheryl. She was unable to hide the sadness. Something didn't go unnoticed by Sheryl.

"Cassie, do you have a minute? Do you want to have coffee? We haven't talked in so long," Sheryl offered. There were too many people here and some of them might overhear their conversation.
