The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1045 You Want To Meddle With My Affairs

"How about the wedding activity?" Sheryl asked as she took a bottle of water and drank some. "The wedding ceremony will be held in four days. Although we don't have much time, we need to do our best to give our client a memorable wedding."

"Don't worry about it. I am watching over the preparations," Isla assured Sheryl. "I have to admit that you chose the right person. The newcomer you've assigned to be responsible for this event is doing a great job. Look, everything is in order. She handles her work properly and requires minimal supervision."

"Does she?" Sheryl looked at the busy newcomer and then back to Isla. She laughed and asked jokingly, "This way, we can retire now, can't we?"

"I agree with you," Isla echoed, amused by her joke. "While you were away, I was afraid that she might not be able to organize this activity. After all, we have a very strict deadline. That means we can't afford to make any mistakes. For the same reason, I came here to observe how the team's doing, and found out that she's been doing an excellent job. She is very keen on details. She works harder and does a better job than how we did when we first entered this industry. Perhaps we can retire early."

"That's good news." Sheryl sounded pleased and burst into laughter. Isla's eyes fell on Sheryl. Since she was now in a good mood, she wouldn't mind answering some of her questions, she thought. "How is Sue, Sher?" Isla asked out of the blue.

"She is good now," Sheryl replied flatly. "Now she can prepare for her wedding without worries."

"I'm glad to hear that," Isla responded. She didn't know much about Sue, but she still hoped that the latter could be safe and sound. After all, Sue was also Sheryl's friend. When she had learnt that Sue had been kidnapped, she was worried about her safety too.

Sheryl caught a glimpse of Isla and said, "Go home and have some rest. I will stay here. Otherwise, Aron will call me up and complain."

"That's okay. I will stay here with you," Isla responded smiling. However, Sheryl didn't agree with her. She urged, "It's really okay, Isla. You can go."

Since she insisted, Isla had no choice but to go home.

Time flew fast on a busy day. At 5:00 p.m., Sheryl was caught up in a discussion with her site employees. Since they were unaware of Sula's favorite flower, she hesitated to select the floral type for George's wedding ceremony.

As she was trying to call George, she heard an offensive voice coming from behind. "Look who is here. Hello, Sheryl!"

Sheryl turned around, only to replace Holley. She narrowed her eyes at the thought that she might have learnt about George's wedding. Squinting at the unexpected acquaintance, she asked, "What are you up to this time?"

George's wedding ceremony was scheduled to be held there. Now that she agreed to organize an impressive wedding for him, she would not let Holley ruin it.

"I come here to have dinner. Then I happen to see you. I'm just trying to be polite by greeting you," Holley replied. With a sly smile, she ridiculed, "What's going on? Did Charles go bankrupt that he couldn't afford to support you anymore?" Hearing this, Sheryl felt much relieved inside. Now she knew that Holley's appearance was just a coincidence.

Disregarding Holley's provocative acts, she turned and continued telling her workers some cautions. She had no intention of badgering with Holley.

As Holley noticed that Sheryl ignored her on purpose, her face darkened with fury. She dashed forward and grabbed her arm violently.

"Damn it! Where are your manners? I was talking to you," she thundered. "Let me go!" Sheryl shook off her hand impatiently. With an indifferent look at Holley, she shot back, "Don't you see that I did that on purpose?

You are such a terrible observer." "Come on, Sheryl, stop putting on airs," Holley snorted in contempt.

"Don't think you won over me. I am telling you, this isn't over. Your happy days will come to an end soon. I will not let you off." "Oh, will you?" Sheryl sniffed. "Same words for you. Your happy life is coming to an end, Yvonne Gu."

"What are you talking about?" Holley played dumb and avoided making eye contact with Sheryl.

"Come on. Stop acting in front of me," Sheryl said defiantly. "We both know who you are. Even though you refused to admit it, you can't change who you really are."

Surveying Holley from head to toe, she commented sarcastically, "To be honest, you impressed me. In the past three years, you were able to change your appearance and your fate. After all, you were a fugitive before going abroad."

Sheryl assessed her reaction before she continued, "You have been with George in the past three years. During those years, you led the comfortable life you have dreamt for. If I were in your shoes, I would stick with him in this lifetime so that I could live a good life. I don't get you. Why did you come back?"

"You caused all of this," Holley replied with a cynical laugh. "Remember one thing, as long as I am alive, I will have you pay the price for what you did to me and mom."

"Now what? You are not going to deny who you are?" Sheryl said scornfully, staring at Holley. "Since you knew my past, I am done playing games with you.

Yes, I am Yvonne. Do you have a problem with that?" Holley admitted frankly. "What are you going to do? Are you reporting me to the police?"

"You think too much. I'm not going to do that," Sheryl answered coldly. "Evil will be rewarded with evil. Someone will help me take you down." "Oh, is that so?" Holley responded with a sneer. "Who are you referring to? George?"

When Holley brought George up, Sheryl narrowed her eyes at her. Curiously, she asked, "There is one thing I couldn't figure out. George is handsome and rich. He also treats you very well. Why didn't you cherish him?"

"I am not as lucky as you are," Holley mocked. "George is a good man. But he has a shrewd mother.

Look at you. Even after you have married Charles, you don't have to deal with his mother." "So you gave him up just because of his mother?" Sheryl gaped in disbelief. 'Seriously? This can't be a reason for their breakup,' she wondered.

"Why are you so interested in this?" Holley threw her an angry stare and said gruffly, "That's none of your business."

"Mom and your father are both gone. I know you hate to admit it, but I am still your sister and you can't change that. It's my duty to take care of you."

What Sheryl said came out as a joke to Holey that she broke out into laughter. Pointing at Sheryl's nose, she gasped, "Seriously? You want to meddle with my affairs?"
