The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 950

Holley wore a sad face and looked at George, defending herself, "George, we've been together for a long time. I thought you knew me better than that! I want revenge, sure, but I'm not after Susan. Sheryl, yes; not Susan. How could I hurt an innocent girl?"

She walked close to George, took his hand and continued, "George, ignore those idiots. I'm nothing like what they try to paint me as. You're the most important person in my life, and I don't want you to think I'm a bad person. The fact that you already doubt me hurts the most!"

"You telling the truth?" George asked. He stared at Holley closely who stood in front of him. "Holley, you're my lover, the closest one to me. No matter what, don't hide anything from me. Understand?"

"Yeah, I do," Holley replied, nodding. She stroked George's hands in a loving manner and said, "George, you've always been there for me. No matter what, I'll stay with you. I hope you'll always be with me. I don't want to fight with you anymore."

After her statement, she looked at George nervously for his reaction. When she finally saw him nod, she gave him a big grin. The she asked carefully, "Well... Did you honor Cary's request?"

"No, I didn't. Rest assured," George answered. "The department's yours. I won't make any decision without your permission," he explained.

"You're the best!" Holley cradled George's neck intimately and kissed him on the cheek.

However, George didn't have much reaction to her intimate behavior. Instead, he looked quite distracted. Holley was upset, and frowned. "George, what's wrong? Anything bugging you?"

"I'm fine. Just a little worried," George explained. Then he took her arm and sat together with her. "Cary told me Susan is his fiance. He was my college classmate and we used to be good buddies. Holley, is it possible that..."

"It's impossible!" Holley shot him down before he could finish his sentence. Her expression became cold and she snapped, "Susan is my last ace in the hole. As long as I have her, I can use her to mess with Sheryl. If she's gone, how can I take revenge? I won't get the chance!"

"Holley..." George felt helpless before her stubbornness. He creased his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you have to do this?"

"I told you I'm not bending on this," Holley sneered. "Even though he was ever your classmate, I won't do him this favor. Tell him not even to dream about it!"

Cary was Susan's fiance? How ridiculous! It was absolutely impossible! This was just an excuse to set Susan free from her contract. Holley would not be fooled by her little trick!

"Holley, can you just calm down?" George breathed a sigh. "I know how much you want revenge. But you should wait for the right time. Do you think that I'm all-powerful?"

he asked and stared at Holley with a worried expression. "You have to know that if anything happens, I can't protect you!"

"I don't need you to protect me!" Holley replied angrily. She sneered, "Think! Why would Cary take up with a girl like her? He is surrounded by all kinds of gorgeous girls! There are tons of beautiful ladies for him to choose from. Why would he choose a plain-jane like Susan? Don't be a fool!"
