The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 687 Sula Took The Blame

"It's all your fault! You brought George a lot of trouble. He shouldn't be involved in such a trivial matter," Donna blamed Holley. She cast a glimpse at Holley and added, "It was just a small mistake but you blew i up and made it more severe."

"Aunt Donna, I..." Holley wanted to say something but controlled herself and became speechless. Then, she sadly lowered her head. George got even angrier when he saw her expression.

"Mom, how could you treat Holley so unfairly? This incident was clearly Sula's fault. Why would you blame Holley, instead?" George asked his mother with discontent. He cast a glimpse at Sula with an arched brow and continued, "Sula, I once took you as my sister. I never blamed you no matter what mistakes you made. But it is different this time. What you did for many times really irritated me. I can't bear that anymore."

George stared at Sula and added, "From now on, I don't want to see your face again. If you dare do anything to hurt Holley, I will never forgive you."

"George, you're getting everything wrong..." Sula knew George was really angry when he gave her the warning. She felt so sad to receive George's wrath because what happened was Holley's fault. But George chose to blame her instead.

She stared back at George and firmly decided to fight Holley. Now that Holley had started the war with her, the only way out was to bravely fight her.

She said, "George, I admit that I love you since we were little. If this woman didn't come between us, we could have been engaged. No... we could have got married. I just wanted to have a talk with her and had no intention to hit her. It was her who..." George laughed sarcastically and interrupted Sula's speech.

"Now what, Sula? Don't be foolish in trying to attribute the fault to Holley? Do you want to tell me that she injured herself?" George gave a sneer and asked, "How can that be possible? Holley hasn't completely recovered yet. Why don't you replace an excuse that sounds more realistic?"

Sula's face grew pale in anger and embarrassment. What she said did sound ridiculous but it was the truth.

Holley would do anything to frame her.

Seeing Sula was rendered speechless, George gave a cold smile and said, "Sula, I'm sorry if I ruined our engagement, but that had nothing to do with Holley. That time, I just didn't want to be the sacrifice for the benefit of our company. I always felt sorry for you and wanted to make amends, but what you did today really disappointed me."

Then he mocked, "I always thought you were a good and innocent girl. Just now I realized that you are totally different from how you look like. You would devise such a ridiculous excuse just to pass the buck to Holley. I am really disappointed with you."

Sula was deeply hurt and shrank as she heard George's harsh comments. She couldn't understand why George would only listen to Holley's lies.

"What nonsense are you talking about George?" Donna interrupted and inquired. Seeing Sula's distraught expression, Donna couldn't help but butt in and question George, "Son, do you really think that she is evil as you imagined her to be?"

"Why not, Mom?" George gave a sneer and added, "So can you honestly tell me why Holley got injured?"

Donna clenched her teeth in rage. She believed in Sula's words. As for Holley, she was convinced that she would do anything to achieve her goal.

Holley got pleased with the result and grabbed George's hand. "George, let's get out of here now. There are already too many people. They can see and hear us arguing," she said.

"Don't worry honey," George replied with a sneer. Then he blurted,"Both of them are not ashamed of what they have done. We are not doing anything wrong so we don't have to be wary of the opinion of other people."

But Holley persisted to leave. Seeing Holley's bothered eyes, George finally agreed,"Okay fine, let's go honey."

If they didn't leave, George would not be able to contain himself and would definitely say more harsh words to Donna and Sula. He put his arm around Holley's shoulder and spoke,"Sula, remember what I said. Don't ever show up before Holley, otherwise, I won't forgive you."

He warned Sula in a serious tone. Then he switched to a loving tone immediately as he turned to face Holley. Both left the scene. His totally different and contrasting attitudes towards Sula and Holley made the former heartbroken.

As George and Holley walked away, the onlookers who watched the whole quarrel also dispersed because the farce had come to an end.

Donna gripped Sula's hands and consoled her, "Sula, I'm really very sorry. I was not able to protect you that well."

In her mind, Donna felt God was punishing her by giving her such an abhorrent son.

"I'm perfectly fine, Aunt Donna." Sula had calculated everything. Although she was extremely saddened by the incident, she would never give up. "Aunt Donna, I understand that George unfairly treated me because of that bitch but that wouldn't be enough for me to give up so easily," Sula declared.

Donna was so happy to hear Sula's declaration but she was still worried. So she asked Sula,"Did you really mean what you just said, Sula? If you just want to make me happy, you don't have to say so." Then she heaved a deep sigh and patted Sula's hand. "Although I hope and wish that you and George will be together, I don't want you to be sad because of him. I always regard you as my own daughter. If you don't want to be with him anymore, I won't compel you to do so," Donna said calmly.

"Aunt Donna, I meant every word I said because I want to be with George," Sula replied quickly. She smiled reluctantly and with bitterness and then exclaimed, "For you and I, Aunt Donna, I will do my very best to be with George someday."

"Okay," Donna said and nodded in agreement. "Sula, I will give you anything you want as long as you can drive that whore away from George," Donna offered.

Sula gave a fake smile. Although she had promised, she understood that it just got even harder to catch George based on the recent altercation and all the negativity he threw at her.

In Shining Company, Sam came to attend a meeting with Charles. Chris, on the other hand, left her child to the nanny. She followed him because she heard that Sheryl just recently started working there.
