Chapter 1002 Threw Off The Mask


    "Don''t you ever try to sabotage my rtionship with Holley! We are deeply in love with each other.


    Nothing can separate us." Although George sat down beside her, he was still restless. He sneered at


    Donna in front of him, "No matter what conditions you offer, I will not leave Holley."


    "Really?" Donna smirked. ncing at Holley, she then queried in a dubious tone, "I wonder if Miss Ye


    is interested in having some small talk with me alone?"


    "No, Holley!" George cried out instinctively. He adamantly opposed Donna''s suggestion, thinking she


    mighte up with some cunning scheme again that would force them apart. He could not let it


    happen, so he blurted out, "I won''t give you that chance."


    "You don''t have to worry. It''s merely some small talk, nothing else. Don''t make a fuss of it," Donna


    countered. "However, I think..." She paused deliberately. "Maybe there is something Miss Ye doesn''t


    want you to know." She then sneered and purposely asked Holley, "Miss Ye, am I right?"


    Donna seemed to know some little secrets about Holley as there were some underlying meanings in


    her words. She prodded, "By the way, do you know a girl named Yvonne Gu? Does the name sound


    familiar to you?"


    The moment Holley heard the name, her demeanor changed drastically. She appeared to have


    underestimated Donna''s capability and didn''t expect her to find out about it.


    Ferry previously had mentioned this to her and confirmed that he had destroyed all the clues leading to


    Yvonne Gu, unless Donna had joined hands with Sheryl. She shuddered at the thought of the two who


    had associated with each other against her.


    Realizing this, Holley looked viciously at Donna. As she was fuming with anger, the blue veins on her


    forehead bulged visibly. She felt like Donna was grabbing her by the throat as if trying to suffocate her.


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" inquired George, looking curious at his mother. He frowned


    slightly and stressed, "What''s the matter that you can''t talk about it in front of me? I am not an


    outsider."


    "George, why not give them some space?" S cut in. Casting him an ambiguous nce, she


    suggested, "I think, Aunt Donna... must have something to speak with Miss Ye. We''d better leave them


    alone."


    "You shut up! Don''t tell me what to do!" George fumed. "You are a cheater. You lied to me. I shouldn''t


    have trusted you. Don''t talk to me anymore!" he continued to rage at S.


    "George, how can you say that..." S started to sob as George harshly used and insulted her.


    "George, watch your words. Don''t be so rude to S," Donna intervened, reprimanding him. She was


    quite displeased with his son''s attitude towards S. "S is a girl anyway. You can''t treat her like that.


    Besides, you took advantage of her in her bed the other night. We need to talk that through as well."


    "You took advantage of S in her bed?" expressed Holley in total disbelief. She detested those who


    deceived her, and she wanted to figure out what happened between George and S, so she probed,


    "What''s the matter? Howe you took advantage of her?"


    George looked pale. His mind went nk. He began to stutter not knowing how to exin it clearly to


    Holley.


    Holley had a queer feeling about this whole thing. She felt strangely odd when she realized that George


    even tried to hide the affair from her. It was too disgusting for her to bear. She could do nothing but


    chuckle at Donna''s desperate move to separate them.


    "George, it is deemed necessary for you to make it clear to me. What happened between you and


    S? What exactly has happened? Do you have any exnation?" Holley kept probing George


    restlessly.


    George lowered his head with guilt. He dared not look at Holley''s eyes nor answer her questions. He


    hesitated for a long time before he reached out to hold Holley''s hand and exined, "Holley, listen to


    me, it''s not as what you think. I didn''t..."


    "You didn''t what? You should better make it clear with me today." Holley sneered at him. It was


    heartbreaking for her to think of her boyfriend being with another woman. She condemned him,


    "George, you just let me down. I have always believed in you. I believed when you said you love me. I


    never doubted that. But, you hurt my feelings. What a big surprise you''ve given me!"


    "Holley, No! It was not like that. Listen to me..." George felt desperate. It was true he was in S''s bed


    with her sleeping next to him. But he felt remorseful for what he had done with S, even though it was


    not what he wanted to happen.


    "I didn''t know what happened exactly. I only remembered that when I woke up, S was lying next to


    me. That''s all. You have to believe me, Holley." George gave a feeble exnation, trying to convince


    Holley, but it simply couldn''t hold water. It appeared that he was shoving the responsibility towards


    S.


    "George, are you ming S? Are you still a man? You should be man enough to ept the


    consequence of your own doing," Donna disputed, looking displeased with George''s exnation.


    She stared at him and was particrly angry because she always taught him to be responsible for his


    own doing. It was not a real man''s behavior to pass the buck. "It was you who got onto her bed. Why


    are you ming her now?" Donna refuted.


    S felt ashamed and embarrassed hearing Donna and George argue. With a bitter smile, she


    gingerly stood up and forced herself to speak. "Aunt Donna, I''m a little tired. I need to go out. Please


    excuse me."


    She anxiously lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone and added, "I-I don''t think... I don''t think I

    should be here. Aunt Donna, if you need meter, just give me a call when you''re done."


    "Alright." Looking at her little pitiful face, Donna felt slightly distressed. She took her hand and


    order something to drink? I''lle to youter."


    "Okay," S nodded submissively. She always listened to what Donna asked her to do, just like an


    obedient sheep.


    After S went out, George still tried every means to exin to Holley. On the other hand, Holley knew


    that it must be George''s mother who was ying the dirty trick in the dark, but she didn''t want to prick


    the bubble in front of George. She didn''t want to say anything at all in order to take control of the


    overall situation. She contemptuously said to George, "All right now, I got it. Don''t say anything."


    She observed the gloomy expression on George''s face and insisted, "I didn''t expect that the man who


    said he loved me would betray me. George, go out for a while. I don''t want to see you here and I need


    some time to calm myself down."


    "Holley, I didn''t... I was just..." George was unwilling to give up but was interrupted by Holley. She


    snapped, "I asked you to go out. Didn''t you hear me?"


    Donna, who sat there looking at them with an amused smile, remarked, "George, you''d better go out


    for a moment. Let me have a good talk with Miss Ye."


    George stared lovingly at Holley before he pleaded, "Holley, I know you are mad at me right now. I


    don''t know how to exin myself better but you have to believe me that it is not what you think it is.


    And I want you to understand that I do love you. You are the only woman I love and there will be no


    one else. If my mother tells you something ridiculouster, don''t take it seriously. I will be here with you


    no matter what happens. Do you know that?"


    Holley turned her head away refusing to look at him. George, who felt dejected, made his way out of


    the room. On his way to the door, he tossed a nce at her and said in a voice soft with affection,


    "Holley, I will wait for you outside." Receiving no answer, he left feeling more disheartened.


    The moment George closed the door behind him, he felt empty in his heart. He stood there looking


    transfixed at the vacant and long corridor. He let out a sigh and was deeply agitated with the thought


    that everything happened because of S.


    She cheated on him. She had promised to offer help, but in fact, she lied to him from the very


    beginning. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He then decided to go to Qings Bar


    and find her.


    As soon as George was gone, Holley stopped being polite. She regarded Donna with cold eyes and


    eximed, "You are really something. I have to admit that I begin to admire you for your cattiness."


    "You are not bad either," countered Donna. She meant her words. Holley was more difficult to deal with


    than she could ever imagined.


    "Now there is nobody else here, only you and me in this room. So there is no need to put on the show


    anymore. Cut to the chase, what exactly do you want?" Holley demanded. She didn''t want to fritter


    more of her time away on this, so she bluntly implied, "I know you are the one who arranged the so-


    called affair between George and S. Am I right? I have never thought that you would plot against


    your son. You even set him up. It is absolutely beyond my expectations."
