The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 940 Broke Up

"Wait!" George scowled. He hastily stepped in front of Holley to block her way. "My mom asked you to come here to discuss our marriage. If you leave now, how can we discuss it?"

He could not help but feel sad when Holley insisted on leaving. He did a lot to convince Donna, but Holley's indifferent attitude made his efforts go in vain.

'It is so obvious that Donna practically wants to insult me by using the wedding thing an excuse. Her true intention is to create more chances for George and Sula to get together. He is stupid enough to believe that Donna has given in to his perseverance, ' thought Holley.

It was so ridiculous and ironic.

Holley held George' hands and attempted to say something. "George, I..." "George, if Miss Ye wants to leave, just let her go," Donna interrupted. "You can stay here so we can chat. I happen to have something to discuss with you."

"Mom, I..." George arched his brows as he hesitated. Hearing Donna's suggestive words and catching George's hesitation, Holley angrily shook off George's hands and sneered coldly, "Right. You should stay here to accompany Aunt Donna and Miss Piao. As for me, I'd better go. I would not dare to disturb your little family reunion."

She turned to leave after saying those sarcastic words. However, her rude manner irritated Donna and she would not let her off easily. She deliberately stopped Holley. "Miss Ye, please help me send my sincere invitation to your elder sister. I would like to hold a reunion meal for our two families. Since your parents already passed away, that makes her your closest relative now. I'm sure that you are aware that both parties should have a relative to help with the wedding arrangements, so I would like to invite her to a meal. Don't you agree?"

Holley could not help but get furious and irritated by Donna's ironic words. She stared at her and questioned her angrily, "How did you know about it all?"

Donna kept silent but her face could not hide her pleased smile.

Holley glared at George and questioned him incredulously, "You told her about my private life, didn't you?"

"Holley, please listen to my explanation." George held Holley's hands tightly and urged her to listen. "The only reason why I told mom about your private life is to progress your relationship with mom. I was hoping that once she knew more about you, your misunderstanding between each other would be eliminated. I didn't mean to..."

"That's enough!" Holley shook off his hands. She could not help controlling her anger after she learned that George had betrayed her. "George Han, I know that I shouldn't have trusted you. I shared my private secrets with you out of trust. But I have never expected that you would disclose them to others. You literally disappoint me."

George felt miserable to replace Holley in such a furious and depressed state. He knew for a fact that Holley considered her miserable past as an absolute taboo, and it was unbearable to be exposed or even mentioned.

It was exactly his fault as he shared them with Donna without Holley's consent.

He could not bring his eyes to look at Holley. He thought hard on why he did it and found his answer. He did it merely for helping improve the relationship between Holley and Donna.

Sula, who was standing on the side, coldly looked at Holley and scolded her seriously, "Miss Ye, your words are a little rude and harsh. Since you and George are getting married soon, then you and Aunt Donna will actually be in-laws. However, you always refer to her as an outsider. Isn't that a bit rude?"

Holley didn't say anything, instead she responded with an angry expression. George took this chance to criticize Holley's behavior as he agreed with Sula, "Holley, Sula is right. My mother is my closest person. How could you consider her as an outsider?"

He walked towards her to hold her hands and tried to convince her, "I know you are angry at me. You blame me for exposing your private life to mom. But you need to understand that I did it for us. Please tell me that you understand it."

Though Holley had a weird temper, he needed to take responsibility since he had revealed her secrets first. All this problem was actually his fault.

Actually, his purpose in disclosing Holley's past to Donna was merely to improve their relationship.

However, Holley misunderstood it.

She smirked and refused his explanation. "Are you telling me that I should be thanking you for your thoughtfulness?"

"Holley, please don't say that." George tried to comfort her. "I know you are angry."

"You shut up! If you were really on my side, you wouldn't have allowed Sheryl to leave the company. I already told you that Sheryl is my nemesis, not my relative. What nonsense was your mother saying? Why did she request me to dine with Sheryl? Aunt Donna, even if you don't accept my relationship with George, it is not necessary to deliberately insult me in such a mean and rude way."

"It was never my purpose to do that," Donna defensively exclaimed. The fact was, Donna got excited as the argument between Holley and George ignited. Concealing her joy, she smirked at Holley, "I believe there might be some misunderstanding between you and your sister. I hate to see you completely cut off your only relative, so I suggest a family reunion in order to help mend your fences. You will understand my action when you get older."

"Aunt Donna, that is my own business. I do not need any of you to interfere." With a stern and cold face, she questioned her motives, "Do you think that getting George and I into an argument would actually increase Sula's chances? All right, I can tell you now that my relationship with George is completely over. He's not my man anymore. He is free to go out with anyone that he likes. I don't want to have any relationship with your family from now on."

Donna and Sula were thrilled with what Holley declared. George, on the other hand, felt sorry for himself and was unable to hide how hurt he was. "Holley, I know you are upset now, but it is no excuse to say such harsh and mean words to annoy me."

"I didn't say those words to annoy you." Holley calmly looked at him and explained, "I'm serious. From now on, you'd better not interfere in my life anymore. I don't want to have anything to do with you. We better end our relationship as soon as possible."

Leaving these harsh words, she turned to leave without any hesitation. "Holley." George reached out to grab her hand but Donna stopped him. Donna, with her arched brows and an angry expression, scolded him, "Do you actually have any dignity? Don't you hear what she said? Why are you still chasing after her? In my opinion, this is exactly a good chance to completely break up with her. You're not even married and she's already this arrogant and rude. That is too much!"

"Mom, let me go." George said in a hurry tone, "I need to go after her."

At that moment, Sula seized her chance and approached George. She tried to persuade him as she stared at him with love fire in her eyes. "George, I think you'd better break up with her as early as possible. Probably, Aunt Donna and I may have initially mistaken her intentions, but now you already know her true color. Did you see how she had treated Aunt Donna? She was impolite and certainly uncivilized." Completely ignoring all their remarks, George shook off Donna's hands and hurriedly ran after Holley.
