The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1762

"Just get straight to the point. You don't need to pretend in front of me," Leila firmly said to Holley.

Holley could tell that Leila wasn't going to be up for her plan so she just laughed and said, "I just wanted to ask you what's going on between you and Charles."

Charles was Leila's weakness. Just a mention of his name and it was easy to hook Leila on. Holley was smart enough to use that.

"I don't think that's any of your business."

This reminded Leila of Charles. Soon, her face looked gloomy, and her voice had lowered.

"You have to stop chasing a man who doesn't even love you."

Leila felt her heart twist in pain upon hearing this.

"Holley Ye, are you looking for trouble?" Leila snapped.

"We're sisters. I just don't want to see you losing both your money and your efforts when this all comes crashing down," Holley said seriously.

It was very cunning of Holley to use the sister card. If Leila didn't know what kind of person Holley was, she would've fallen for her trap.

"Oh, really? If you're my sister then what do you really think?" Leila asked, pretending to agree with Holley.

Holley was pretty obvious. Leila could tell that Holley would get upset if all her efforts were put to waste.

"If you don't end up with Charles, at the very least, you should have your own money so you can protect yourself. I have an idea that could get you more money or maybe, you could even end up owning the Shining Company. Are you interested?" Holley proposed.

Shining Company?

Leila got excited. She'd wanted Shining Company from the start. At first, she just wanted to be married to its president, but if she could own it, then that would even be better.

"All right, Holley, tell me about your plan," Leila replied softly. She'd become visibly more relaxed.

Holley knew that she already had Leila as long as she talked about money.

"Since you're Charles' secretary, you have access to all of the company's and Charles' confidential files." Holley was skeptical at first to mention this to Leila. She didn't even expect that Leila would ask about her plan, but now that Leila did, she was pretty confident about her proposal.

"Yes, I do. Do you want me to steal any of those files?"

The look on Leila's face shifted. She'd never expected this of Holley—that she could be so ruthless, although she was clear that Holley couldn't have any good ideas. It might have been an illegal plan, but it was the only way Leila could get what she wanted. She knew Holley had her own selfish motives, but that didn't matter to her.

Leila was getting what she wanted, and that was all that was important. She already knew that Holley was planning something, and she was interested in what it was. Apparently, Holley was going after Charles this time, but she couldn't figure out why. What would Holley get if she went after Charles?

Leila kept quiet until Holley had told her everything.

"Great. Now listen, as long as you can get a hold of any of those files, you can find a way to make the company suffer. Charles wouldn't know what to do, and then you can come to him with help. You'll be supportive, caring, and loyal. Who's to say that Charles wouldn't fall in love with you?" Holley said, a triumphant look on her face.
