The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 560 Women’s Countless Cunning

Holley tearfully narrated all the hardships she had been through her whole life. She had never spoken about any of this before and doing so caused a wide release of emotions. She started talking about the violent death her mother had suffered and then went on to her stint in jail, due to Autumn's wrongdoing.

She carefully avoided talking about the miserable days she had served as a whore. Those days had been unbearable and she had no desire to relive painful memories.

George, on the other hand, maintained a singular focus on the prosperous Y City. He was determined to fulfill his ambitions overseas and also have a fresh beginning with Holley. They deserved a new life. When George went for the job interview, he was in for a nasty shock. He caught sight of Sheryl who resembled Autumn in the photo greatly. He rushed back to inform Holley of his discovery, which set off a series of consequences.

The torment that had resulted from that miserable days had transformed pitiful Yvonne Gu into an unscrupulous avenger, Holley Ye.

However, she remained calm and collected and determined to reach her goals.

"I have given the contract to Sheryl to weigh the pros and cons and come to a decision," George started, "but she seemed hesitant to give in." Upon hearing his words, Holley expressed her vexation, "By hook or by crook, you have to get Sheryl to sign the contract or we will be in trouble." Only when Sheryl stayed in Y City could Holley carry out her plan.

Holley was determined to get back at Autumn completely and absolutely for everything the latter had done to the former. Holley was intent on revenge.

Holley felt extremely superior at the thought of gaining victory but there was a long way to go.

George found it hard to reconcile this supercilious, arrogant version of Holley with her ordinary, sweet one. Every time Sheryl was merely mentioned, Holley seemingly transformed into a whole new person. George frowned and continued,"You can rest assured. I will honor my promise, but..." He left his sentence unfinished.

During the short period of time he had spent with Sheryl, he had grown to like her. She was sweet, caring and a good woman. She was nothing like Holley had described.

"Since Sheryl has had amnesia, I saw no point in pressing the matter in your desire for vengeance. She is totally clueless," George tried to talk Holley into aborting her pointless and cruel scheme against Sheryl.

Upon hearing George speak in favor of Sheryl, Holley flew into a fury. "George, how dare you defend that horrible woman? I thought you were on my side. Why don't you stop helping me instead?"

"Holley, dear, you misunderstand..." George frowned but continued hesitantly, "I don't think there is justification for your continued attempts to attack Sheryl, who has forgotten all the events of the past, both the good ones and the bad ones. For God's sake, the poor woman has amnesia!"

"Loss of memory? Ha! That's likely," Holley sneered. "Sheryl can pretend that she doesn't remember driving my mother to her death and putting me in jail, but I will stop at no end until I get my vengeance and am satisfied."

Holley looked down at George haughtily, "Your role in this plan has ended."

"Holley, dear, you misunderstand me again..." George, sensing Holley's coldness, lost no time in proving his affection with a hug. He whispered his reassurance, "You may rest your mind for a while. Have no doubt that I will serve you till your goal is accomplished."

Pacified by his words, Holley shifted her focus to her evil scheme against Autumn, as her other enemy, Ferry, remained out of contact.

Holley cuddled up and talked to George in a tone of grievance, "George, please put in some effort to understand my hardships and ordeals arising from Sheryl's actions. Now my sworn enemy is living comfortably in oblivion and having conveniently forgotten all her wrongdoings but I am spending every day still recovering from the hardship I have been through."

Holley passed herself off as an innocent girl before George, "It pains me to recall my suffering, especially my mother's violent death."

"Well, I fully sympathize with you. Please stop crying, I'm here for you." George felt pity for Holley and said, "From now on, I will cater to your every whim and treat you as my queen."

"Really?" Holley looked up at George with an expression that conveyed how touched she was. "George, I would have met my end three years ago if it were not for God's will that we met. Now I am merely living to get even with Sheryl and love you. To miss out on either would make my life unlivable."

"Babe, you are absolutely forbidden to take death so lightly!" George reprimanded Holley firmly. He did not want to imagine a life without her. "Please rest peacefully. I will lend you my fullest support and assistance for whatever you want to do."

"Thank you very much, my darling," Holley said to George shyly, slightly surprised by his devotion to her.

Holley pretended to be a delicate and loving woman to sweet-talk George into helping her. He was an integral part of her plan.

Without Gu family to rely on, Holley had no option but to make the best of BM Corporation's resources to carry out her plan.

In another part of the city, Sheryl remained peacefully oblivious of the approaching danger. She was still thinking about how to deal with Charles.

The next morning, Charles called Sheryl again, in an attempt to woo her. He was rejected though.

Sheryl believed it was necessary to destroy her relationship with Charles to avoid every possible trouble.

When the rehearsal concluded, Sheryl caught sight of Holley standing before her at the backstage. With a bottle of water in hand, she expressed her compliments. "Sheryl, your performance was amazing. The way you were just moving was so gracefully and elegantly that both the men and women were admiring you."

Holley was speaking to Sheryl loudly purposely, in order to attract the attention of models present, which embarrassed Sheryl to no end. However, Sheryl did not object. Pressing forth, Holley continued, "Sheryl I am coming to negotiate with you on particular terms and conditions of the contract. George and I wanted to let you know that we are willing to even grant you concessions as long as they are reasonable." Upon hearing the conversation, the passing-by models stared at Sheryl with growing jealousy.

'Why is Sheryl receiving special treatment? Nothing justifies her superiority, as she's even older and has a daughter, 'the jealous models wondered.

Holley's plan seemed to be working perfectly, with everything falling into place. All the models present started becoming hostile after witnessing the conversation. Their hostility arose from the indignation that came only from being ignored unfairly.

Sheryl, sensing the change in her colleague's attitudes, grabbed Holley's arm to continue their conversation elsewhere.
