The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1735

Rex wasn't able to contain the rage in his heart. He angrily pointed his finger at Black and yelled, "Mark my words, if you leave with her right now, you won't have a home to come back to!"

"Dad, don't be stupid. Every time you say that to me, you always end up calling me back. Why do you have to threaten me like that when you don't mean it? It just makes things worse between us," Black said helplessly, as he turned to look at Rex.

Rex's threats didn't make Black change his mind. On the contrary, it made even Black more sure of his decision to stay with Holley.

"Black, I'm telling you. It's for real this time. I'm not joking. I'm too old to play this game with you. If you leave right now, you're not my son anymore, and I'm going to freeze your bank accounts. Let's see how much this woman really loves you when you don't have a single penny to your name anymore!"

Rex had completely lost his temper. He didn't care that he was taking away Black's pride. His goal was to humiliate Black so he could put Black in his place.

"Dad, even if Holley chooses to stay with me, just because I'm from a rich family, I'd be more than fine with that!"

Black said without a shadow of a doubt. He wouldn't let his father taint his pure and sincere love for Holley. He had to fight back and show how determined he was.

Holley was under a lot of pressure. There was no room for her to cut in. She stood beside Black and listened as the father and son argued back and forth. When Rex said he would freeze Black's bank accounts, she grew anxious. She knew how much Black loved her, and it was very obvious. However, the only reason she was staying with Black was for his money.

Holley tentatively moved her hand in an attempt to pull back her arm. She didn't want to see this falling out anymore. If Rex froze Black's bank accounts, it would have dire consequences for both her and Black.

However, when she moved her hand, Black held it tighter. He needed her to support him at this moment, but the grip made Holley uncomfortable.

Holley had no choice but to stay.

"Fine then! You two deserve each other! You're stupid because she's just using you! How did I raise someone as stupid as you?" Rex's voice trembled as he scolded his son.

"That's enough! Since you've made yourself perfectly clear, I think it's best that I go now."

Rex was so angry that he had trouble breathing. He felt helpless as he thought Black was so obsessed with Holley that he was being completely blinded. He didn't expect that Black would listen to him either. When Rex didn't say anything anymore, Black left along with Holley. Once again, he'd turned his back on his father for Holley.

Rex sighed in disbelief as he watched the two leave. His head was throbbing so badly that he almost fell. Luckily, someone was able to catch him in time.

"Boss, are you okay?" one of his men asked in concern.

"What did you just say? Do you not want me to be okay?" Rex shouted angrily.

Rex was too angry to think clearly. At this point, he was just taking it out on his staff.

The young man trembled in fear as he didn't know how to respond. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he just kept quiet and waited for an order from Rex.

"What are you waiting for? I don't want to stay here any longer!" Rex shouted when he saw that none of his men were moving.

"Yes, boss! Where are we headed now?" One of his staff quickly ran past Rex so he could open the door to his car. When Rex got inside the car, the driver cautiously asked him for the destination.

"We're going home,"

Rex said and put a hand over his forehead. Then he closed his eyes so that he could clear his mind.
