The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1666

"Wh… what are you talking about? Murder? What do you mean?!" Holley didn't expect Ferry would ask this. She was very nervous, but she tried her best to remain calm and not give herself away.

Holley knew that if Ferry ever found out that she had asked Tom to kill Ferry, she would be screwed.

Ferry shook his head when he saw the anxiety and horror on Holley's face. 'She doesn't have the guts to do that, ' he thought to himself.

"I'll give you ten days. If I don't see you doing anything, Jordan's going to be the one to suffer!" Ferry hung up on Holley.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Holley was riled up. Ferry had ruined her day.

This was an ultimatum from Ferry. Even if Holley couldn't take down the Shining Company, she had to steal some confidential files for Ferry. Otherwise, she couldn't even begin to imagine what would happen to her.

Holley still stood immobile on the balcony, lost in thought.

Jordan was confused. Instead of again walking to the balcony, he called Holley's name this time.

"Ah, what?"

Holley finally answered Jordan. He had already lost track of how many times he had called her.

"Holley, why are you standing there like that? What did your uncle say?" Jordan asked in confusion.

"Nothing, it's just about his family." Holley walked to Jordan as she answered him.

Holley kissed Jordan on the lips so he wouldn't ask more questions.

And it worked. Jordan was turned on and he totally forgot about the call.

Jordan fell asleep after they had intercourse. Holley, however, was too worried to fall asleep, so she decided to get up and take a shower. She then left the house.

She wanted to go outside to take in some fresh air and clear her mind. It was better than lying in bed and doing nothing.

Holley decided to call Leila.

However, the phone just rang and rang. Leila didn't pick up Holley's call, which just put Leila in a worse mood.

To make things worse, just a few minutes after she left, Jordan woke up and called her, asking her where she had gone. He was starting to get suspicious about Holley.

"I went out to buy some snacks. I'll be back home soon!" Holley explained to Jordan. She turned around and headed to the restaurant near her home.

In the hospital

"Leila, who's that? Why didn't you pick up the call?" Melissa had just woken up, and she noticed the anxiety on Leila's face, so she asked.

"Aunt Melissa, you're up!" Leila ignored Melissa's question and changed the subject.

"Uh-huh, I am fine. Where's Charles? Did you tell Charles?" In order to convince Charles that she was sick, Melissa had taken two sleeping pills, which made her fall asleep.

Leila nodded her head and smiled at Melissa. "Aunt Melissa, don't worry. I told Charles everything. I can tell from his face that he believes what I said. Even if he doesn't, as long as he calls Sheryl and asks her, he will know I'm telling the truth."

She knew that Sheryl would tell Charles everything, except for what had happened that day in the hospital. And that was something Leila could make use of.

Leila knew what kind of person Charles was. He would never let anyone treat his own mother like that, especially if the man who did it was also interested in Sheryl.
