Chapter 990 Death Anniversary


    George stared nkly at Holley for a moment. He hadn''t expected that she would blow up like that in


    front of his mother. He grabbed her arm and said, "Holley, that''s enough! She''s my mother. How could


    you speak to her like that?"


    "Oh? Are you ming me now?" Holley sneered. "I''ve told you already that I hate it when people


    intervene in my business. I don''t need anybody telling me what to do. And that includes your mother.


    And rest assured that it''s not going to go so easily if she pisses me off again."


    Donna finally spoke, "So, are you saying that I''m not qualified to manage my ownpany?"


    Holley looked at her and said very clearly, "Yes."


    From her expression, George knew that Donna was incredibly angry.


    He tried to talk to her, "Mom, don''t be mad. Holley didn''t mean that."


    "Shut up!" Donna glowered at him. "Mind your own damned business."


    George didn''t want to anger his mother any further, but he had to protect Holley. "Mom, look, Holley is


    in charge of her department. Could you at least consult with her before taking decisions instead of


    Donna threw a nasty nce at him and thought, ''Is this really my son?


    As they say, grown girls can''t be kept at home. But it''s my son who''s against me now. I have to think of


    a way to get my boy back. I can fire her. Everything''s going to be okay if she leaves thepany for


    good.''


    She scowled at Holley, "With all due respect, Miss Ye, I have to say that you''re not suitable for a job at


    mypany.


    I''m not tolerant enough to have someone who would disobey me deliberately on my payroll. You may


    go to the HR to collect your documents and your pay. I''ll inform them to allocate extra three months''


    sry aspensation. This termination is very much under the norms of theborw. Is everything


    clear, Miss Ye?"


    George was rmed by his mother''s quick verdict. He said, "Mom, you can''t do this to Holley! She


    didn''t do anything wrong and she didn''t mean to go against you. Why do you have to fire her?"


    Donna bellowed, "Enough! She dared to speak to me as if she owns thispany. It''s because you''ve


    spoiled her. It was your job to keep her in check."


    George wanted to defend Holley, but he was afraid that Donna might divulge about the incident that


    had happened the day before, so he reluctantly fell silent.


    Holley stared at the mother-son duo in stunned silence. She had spoken boldly against Donna because


    she thought that George would support her.


    She wasn''t afraid because she figured that George would help her no matter what, but looking at him


    now, she wasn''t so sure anymore. George truly wanted to help, but he couldn''t disobey his mother.


    Donna turned to Holley and said coldly, "You may leave now." And soon after she dismissed Holley,


    she had someone else take her ce.


    It seemed like Donna hadid out all her ns in advance. It was like she knew how this meeting


    would y out.


    Holley froze at the unexpected turn of events.


    George pulled her away from his mother. "Holley, would you walk out with me?"


    And Holley followed him outside. When they were out in the corridor, George gritted his teeth in


    frustration and asked, "What''s gotten into you? Why did you have to go against her in front of all those


    people? She''s the president of thepany! Even I don''t disobey her. Why were you so impulsive?"


    Holley jerked her head towards him. "Impulsive? I was being impulsive?! I am the one who got fired,


    and it''s me that everyone isughing at. You just stood there and watched her humiliate me in front of


    them! I''m starting to wonder if you are really a man! You couldn''t stop your mother from firing me, but


    you turn around and me me for going against her. What''s gotten into you?!"


    Holley raised her hand to show him the ring on her finger. "Do you still remember what you said when


    you put the ring on my finger yesterday? It''s only been a few hours and yet, you have already forgotten


    your promises."


    George looked at her helplessly and said, "I haven''t forgotten. Holley..." He paused and sighed before


    continuing, "I know that you''re mad at me, but what do you expect me to do? Do you want me to fight


    her and run away with you? Come on, she is my mother and the president of ourpany. We can''t


    abandon ourpany now, can we? You know how much we have invested in this. I don''t think it was


    sensible to speak to my mother like that. You should have been more careful with your words."


    Holley was now sure that George was ming her entirely.


    She smiled coldly and said, "I was a fool to say yes to your proposal yesterday. How foolish I was to


    believe that you would protect me from all this! I must have been blind to think that."


    Holley turned around to leave. George rushed towards her and grabbed her arm. He pleaded, "Holley,


    wait! Believe me! I told you that I''ll love you forever. Won''t you just give me another chance?"


    Holley shook him hand off violently and yelled, "Don''t touch me! I don''t want to see you anymore!" And


    then she walked away without any hesitation.


    George shouted from behind her, "Where are you going?" Holley replied coldly without turning back,


    "That''s none of your business."


    And she walked out the door of thepany, leaving George behind.


    Holley was so disappointed and disheartened that she went straight to the cemetery. It was Wendy''s


    death anniversary that day. She was the only one whom Holley could trust and talk to. She had a lot of


    things to tell her. She was about to walk towards Wendy''s grave when a man grabbed her hand and


    took her aside.


    Holley was terrified. She turned around to see who it was and she couldn''t believe her eyes when she


    saw his face.


    She hadn''t seen him since she had gone abroad three years ago, but he always haunted her in her


    dreams. Every time she woke up from the nightmare, she was drenched in cold sweat.


    Holley stammered incoherently, "You... What are you doing here? How is this possible?"


    Ferry looked at her shocked face. He gently touched her cheek and asked in a low voice, "Why do you


    wanna know? Did you miss me?


    Wow, look at you. You''re so different now. What did those Koreans do with your face? How did they

    make you so pretty, huh?"


    Holley stood up trembling and asked, "What do you want?" She didn''t want to go through those


    nightmares once again.


    Ferry felt excitement soar through him when he saw her frightened eyes. He said, "Don''t worry. You''re


    useful to me now. I won''t hurt you." He pointed towards Wendy''s grave and said, "Look who''s here."


    Holley looked in the direction he pointed and saw someone standing in front of Wendy''s tombstone. It


    was Sheryl.
