The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1690 When Holley Hurt Black

"Would you stop beating him in the face? If Mr. Hu replaces out later, he will be sad. No father would be happy to see that." Ferry lifted his lips into a disdainful smile. He hurriedly took Holley in his arms and rushed out of the bar.

There was sadness written all over Holley's eyes as she kept looking back at Black. But she had to keep her mouth shut and couldn't utter a word.

More than ten minutes had passed, and Black was being violently beaten. Nobody could even recognize him. Then they finally stopped.

"If I were you, I would be careful. Don't offend anyone that you can't afford to." Ferry's men swaggered off.

The secretary walked up with a cautious and concerned face when she saw that Ferry and his men had left.

"Are you okay, Mr. Hu?" Black's secretary was scared by what she had seen and finally dared to speak after the fiends had all gone away.

"Get out," Black shouted at his secretary. He was frustrated and didn't want anyone to see him in this condition.

The secretary felt that Black didn't want anybody to see him being bullied, so he immediately ran away.

Meanwhile, almost everyone was crazily shaking their bodies. As the music reached their ears, it seemed that nothing had happened earlier.

Black stared blankly at the entrance. His eyes were tired and depressed.

He asked himself what was wrong with him.

He'd just let that man take Holley away from him.

Black thought about everything. He felt even more depressed as he hated himself for his inability. Then he started to drink one bottle after another as if each would be his last.

He drank for more than two hours, and he became very drunk. So the bartender decided to chase him out of the bar.

The bartender was certainly aware that the drunk man in front of him was the son of the Hu Family. So he told the driver to take Black to the Hu Family's residence.

When Black returned back home, he lay on the couch as he kept throwing up.

It was a good thing that Rex was on the second floor, and heard the noise in the living room. So he dialed the number of the servant's room, and a servant quickly answered him.

"My Lord, it's the Young Master who returned. He is drunk and throwing up," the servant immediately reported to him.

When Rex heard this, he hurriedly got out of his bed, put on a coat and went downstairs.

As Black was lying on the couch in the living room, there was a servant who was cleaning up his mess.

Rex frowned when he noticed that it stank throughout the room. He looked at his son, who was lying on the couch, and got angry.

His son was excellent in every aspect but became infatuated too easily.

For Rex, it was not a problem if Black had become infatuated with someone from another wealthy family. But he had fallen in love with a heartless woman, and he would surely suffer losses sooner or later. It was easy for Rex to guess that his son was sad because of Holley.

He couldn't help but sigh and slowly approached his son. He saw the tears on his son's face and felt heartbroken.

He knew in his heart that he would never forgive Holley. Anyway, she couldn't hurt his only son like this.

"Black, is there something wrong? Wake up!" Rex asked and shook Black's shoulder.

"I don't feel well. I feel terrible." Right after these words, Black started to cry again.

It was said that this man would never shed tears, unless he was truly sad. Rex looked down at his beloved son crying, and also grieved.

He only had one son and had raised him cautiously. After the death of his wife, he cared for Black so much, and Rex hadn't expected that his son would ever be so sad because of a woman.

"What the hell has just happened?" there was fury in his voice, but he tried to control it as he asked.

Black was drunk, but he was aware that he should not tell his father about Holley's problem. He couldn't let his father know that Holley had cheated on him.

"I don't feel well, Father. I drank too much. I'm sorry." As he kept on saying those words, he felt more and more heartbroken at the thought that Holley had left with that man.

Tears started to flood again from Black's eyes. It stabbed Rex directly in the heart to see his son this sad.

But he didn't force his son to tell the truth. He thought that his son might lie about Holley.

'You're so stupid, son. You're already drunk, yet you still protect that woman's dignity,' Black's father raged quietly, yet spoke nothing of this aloud.

Rex chose to stay with his son all throughout the night. Black was crying when he fell asleep, but he kept on calling the woman's name.

Unable to express his feelings, Rex just wanted to replace the woman who was responsible for his son's pain and ask her what she had done.

It was his principle that everyone should take full responsibility for their mistakes. But when it came to Holley, he couldn't be ruthless.

Rex was afraid to take action because his foolish son was so crazy about that woman. He knew that Black would end their relationship if he would do that.

So he had to figure out a perfect plan that wouldn't affect their relationship, but would surely teach that woman a lesson.

The servant took care of Black until he fell asleep, and then Rex stood up and walked to the study room. He had already planned what to do next.

He would certainly investigate who was with Black and where they were.

Rex immediately called a reliable follower and told him to investigate Black's whereabouts from earlier that day. He must know who had caused his son to suffer.

Half an hour had passed and the man called him back.

"There was nothing unusual during the daytime, Mr. Hu. But when night fell, he went to a bar and had some conflict with Ferry Fang." The man told Rex about everything he had found out. Ferry Fang? He was a man who had connections with the gangland.

There were some transactions with the gangland that had made Rex quite familiar with Ferry's identity. He knew that this man was not a simple one.

Rex frowned, for he knew that his son was always cautious, no matter what he did. How could he have offended Ferry? He couldn't help but think that it must be related to Holley.

"Haven't you found out what conflict they had?" Rex asked one more time.

"It was this woman named Holley. Ferry seemed to be Holley's friend. They sat next to each other and drank, appearing to be close. Black suddenly came over, but Holley chose to ignore him. She just continued to chat with Ferry. It made Black so angry that he wanted to beat Ferry."

"So his followers beat Black up?" Rex cut in, even before the hired follower could finish his sentence.

The man had noticed Rex's deep tone and didn't dare to answer, so he had to keep silent to confirm Rex's guess.

"So my son fought with Ferry because of a woman. Am I right?" Rex couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He hadn't thought that his son would be so foolish.

So it was Holley who had caused all the trouble.

Since ancient times, the hero couldn't resist a beautiful woman. Rex always hated any woman who could influence his emotions. Moreover, this woman was Holley, who he hadn't liked from the beginning. "So my son fought with Ferry because of a woman. Am I right?"
