Chapter 40 Hollie Hunter, Why Are You Running
I looked at Vaughn mockingly and deliberately said these words to him. Vaughn was usually a proud
man and thought that he was quite capable. Now when he heard that I said Brandon was far better
than him, his expression suddenly became ugly.
Men were animals with strong self-esteem, especially whenpared with someone else. Compared
with Brandon, Vaughn was not at the same level in terms of appearance or wealth. He was just a small
manager in one of Brandon''s filiale. How could hepare with him?
"Hollie, I know you''re be angry with me. That''s fine, but do you know what kind of person Sutton is? Do
you know how many women he has? A man like him would never be with you. Don''t be stupid."
Vaughn pretended to be sincere and tried to persuade me.
The look of concern on his face looked ridiculous to me. With a sarcastic sneer on my face, I couldn''t
help but retort coldly. "No matter what, he''s still better than you. Even if there are countless women
around him, I believe he has enough dignity to mess around with my best friend. He hasmon
courtesy, unlike some other shameless people I could name!"
My words had implications. Of course, Vaughn could tell that I was insulting him, and my words were
very unpleasant.
The expression on his face froze. He looked at me with anger in his eyes. My words hadpletely
angered him.
"Hollie, don''t go too far. It''s my fault that I betrayed our rtionship, but do you have to hold it over me
all the time?"
Vaughn''s voice became louder. Because there were very few people on the road at night, he did not
have to worry that others would hear our conversation.
"Since you know that you betrayed me, then don''t bother me anymore. Didn''t you tell me that you and
Laney really love each other? Then why are you still looking for me?"
I remembered clearly that when I cancelled the wedding to let them be together, Vaughn had thanked
me for it. At the time, his words had hurt me deeply, so I was already being polite when I said these
words. He did not experience the pain I did at the time. How could he use me of not letting it go?
Vaughn looked at me and hesitated, and the anger on his face quickly disappeared. After a long time,
he looked up at my eyes and said seriously, "Hollie, I know it was my fault. I hurt you. But when we
were separated, I realised that the person I loved in my heart was not Laney but you. I didn''t know why
I did that thing back then. I''m sorry..."
Vaughn''s tone was very serious and his apology was very sincere, but what he said made me sneer.
Why didn''t he remember that he loved me when he slept with Laney? They had been cheating behind
my back for so many years. They even had a kid together while I was kept in the dark. I had always
thought that Laney had the child with some other man, and had always tried to avoid the topic of his
father around her in order to not hurt her.
But I didn''t expect that the child''s father was Vaughn, my former fiance. Everything was so ridiculous.
When I found out the truth, I felt that I was the most ridiculous and pathetic woman in the world.
"It''s toote to apologise now. Even if you apologise, it''s useless. I''m leaving. Please don''t pester me!"
His apology didn''t cause any ripples in my heart. I didn''t have any impulse to forgive him. On the
contrary, I just felt that the whole situation was ridiculous.
I turned around to leave, but Vaughn held me tightly from behind.
Feeling his touch, I panicked, followed by anger and disgust. This man dared to hug me!
I struggled hard, but my strength was much weaker than a man''s. I couldn''t get rid of him no matter
how hard I tried. I was angry and annoyed. At this moment, I really wanted to p him, but I couldn''t
get out of his grip.
"Vaughn, let me go. If you don''t let me go, I will scream!"
I struggled hard, and my heart was burning with anger. I hated him so much that his touch disgusted
me.
"Hollie, why can''t you talk to me nicely? You used to love me so much. Was it all fake? You don''t even
want to talk to me. Do you have to be so cold?"
Vaughn, who was holding me tightly, was also angry. His voice was not as gentle as before, and
seemed to be a little impatient.

"Why should I talk to you? What right do you have to ask me to do this? I''m done with you. Do you
understand? If you have anything to say, just tell your Laney. Don''te to me!"
I struggled with all my strength. These words were almost out of my mouth, but I was angry and
helpless because I couldn''t get rid of him at all.
"Hollie." Vaughn didn''t seem to want to let go. He wanted to say something, but not far away, a dazzling
light shot toward us.
We both held up a hand to block our eyes at the same time. I quickly stepped far away from him
because I didn''t want to get entangled with him again. To me, he was the world''s most disgusting man.
I looked back as I ran, afraid that he would catch up with me. But after a few steps, I bumped into a
man''s arms.
"Sorry, sorry..."
I apologised in a panic and tried to go around the person I bumped into, but he grabbed my arm.
"Hollie, why are you running?"
Hearing the voiceing from above my head, I suddenly looked up and saw Brandon''s handsome
face. I panicked. I didn''t know why I felt a little aggrieved at the moment.
I threw myself into Brandon''s arms. For some reason, my nose twitched. "Why are you here?"
Brandon was taken aback when he saw me plunging into his embrace. In the next second, he hugged
me tightly. "Didn''t I say that I woulde and pick you up? Why are you still here sote at night?"
I was held tightly in Brandon''s arms. I didn''t know if it was my illusion, but I could feel the concern in his
tone for me.
"Nothing. I just got into an argument with a scumbag."
When I said this, I looked at Vaughn with some anger. When I thought that it was because of him that I
hadn''t gotten a taxi at such ate time, I became even angrier.
