The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 995

"Really?"

Thanks to Sula's promise, George wore a relieved smile on his face. He was so ecstatic that—without thinking—he reached his hand out to hold Sula's, but she moved her hand away.

Sula glared coldly at George and said, "Mr. Han, no more favors. And please don't act like we're on good terms. We're done here. Have a nice life."

"Fine!" George replied without hesitation. Because what Sula said and did were out of anger, she hadn't thought that George would agree so quickly. She was breaking into pieces inside as she realized that her relationship with him was finally and completely over. Her heart was well and truly broken at the sight of his cheerful expression.

She asked herself, 'What's so special about Holley? Why has George fallen so deeply in love with her?'

George looked at Sula with an excited smile on his face and made a promise to her, "Don't worry. I'll return the favor. If you need a hand later, just hit me up and I'll help you."

"If there's nothing more, I'm gone." With those words ending the conversation, Sula turned to leave in quick and unsteady steps.

When she was facing away from George, Sula couldn't control herself anymore and finally burst into tears. She was dumped by George, which tore her heart to pieces.

After Sula was back home, Donna saw that the younger girl was really depressed. She asked what happened. Face wet with tears, Sula finally told Donna everything, which made the mother tremble in rage.

"Wow! He's really something else, isn't he? He didn't even ask my permission. I need to sort him out." Donna's voice was thick with fury. The woman pulled out her phone and was ready to call George, but Sula stopped her.

Sula stared at Donna helplessly and begged, "Aunt Donna, please stop. I don't want anything more to do with him."

A frown made its way onto Donna's face. She stared deeply at Sula, and then turned off her screen, setting the phone down.

Donna bade Sula sit on the sofa. She breathed a deep sigh and comforted her, "Sula, I know you're down right now. But you should understand that Holley is a terrible person, and I'm not going to let my son marry her."

"But, Aunt Donna..." Sula frowned.

Donna patted Sula's hands and comforted her with a gentle tone. "I know you're upset, but do you think I'm going to take this lying down? George won't be able to live happily ever after with this woman. I know he was pretty harsh with you. Don't worry, he'll change his tune."

Donna looked at Sula and said, "Here's what I want you to do. Go upstairs and get some sleep. I'll figure out how to deal with Holley tomorrow."

Sula took a deep look at Donna. She was confused. 'Do I need to keep loving him?'

Yeah, I blew him off, but I still have some hope in my heart. I hope George comes back for me after he figures out who Holley really is.'

The next morning, Sheryl went to work early as usual. Recently, her attention was diverted from designing projects to training the employees as much as she could.

As Isla said, she couldn't handle everything on her own.

By noontime, Sheryl was still troubleshooting employee projects. The receptionist came by with news. "Sher, someone wants to meet you outside."
