Chapter 1033 What Do You Truly Want
Never had George been such a busy bee. Now that he decided to get married, he naturally had many
things to do. First, he arranged for a ce for S''s parents to stay in, and then he drove S and
Donna back home so they could rest. The next thing on the list was to see Sheryl and ask her to help
him decorate the wedding ceremony venue.
After all, Sheryl was a professional in event styling. He would be more confident about the venue''s look
if he asked for her help. He immediately drove to her ce, and after a while, he finally stopped at his
destination.
"Wedding venue decoration?" Sheryl said with furrowed brows after hearing George''s request. "Mr.
Han, have you forgotten about the deal we made before?" she couldn''t help but ask.
"No, no, no. You must have misunderstood me," George immediately replied with a shake of his head.
Sheryl looked even more confused, but he just gently smiled and began to exin. "This wedding has
nothing to do with Holley at all. I will get married soon. The bride is not Holley, but S."
"S?" Sheryl asked and paused for a moment. Of course, she knew this woman. However…wasn''t it
Holley that George liked? If she remembered correctly, George never liked S before—but howe
he was suddenly getting married to her now?
"Yes, it is S," George repeated to confirm Sheryl''s question. His lips curved up into a soft smile at
the thought of his uing marriage to S. "I know it is a little surprising, but I have made this
decision after careful consideration. What''s more...I will be a father soon, so I need to give S the
status that she should have," he said.
He looked at Sheryl sincerely and continued, "I came here to see you…because I really couldn''t find
otherpetent people like you. I hope that our wedding ceremony could proceed sessfully within
a week. After having thought of it over and over, I realized that you''re the only one qualified for this job."
"I promise that the price is not a problem. I''d be really happy and grateful if you could help me out with
the wedding preparations," he hastily added.
"Actually, one week is also too short for me," Sheryl said with knitted brows when she heard the
preparation time George requested. "I know," George admitted with a slight nod of his head.
A small sigh escaped his lips as he thought about the situation. "I know it''s really urgent, but I believe
you can help me out with it. Please, just do me this favor," he asked in a pleading voice.
Sheryl hesitated for a bit, but when she saw the sincerity in George''s eyes, she relented and nodded
her head. "Okay. Since you genuinely asked for my help, I couldn''t refuse you. Have you booked any
hotel as your wedding ceremony venue?"
"Yes, I have," George said and proceeded to give her more details about what he had already done. He
then pulled out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Sheryl. "This is the hotel name and
address. Oh, I also need to tell you what we want for the wedding decorations and style. I asked S,
and she preferred the ceremony to be held in the garden. When you arrive at the hotel, you can contact
the boss who is my friend, and he will take you to see the venue," he said.
With eyes still on Sheryl, he apologized for asking her at thest minute. "I''m really sorry for this. The
schedule is too tight, and I have to deal with other things."
"You may have to be in charge of everything to do with the wedding venue," he ruefully added. "I hope I
won''t disappoint you," Sheryl replied with a wry smile as she realized it would be a knotty work.
After they finished talking about the wedding venue, Sheryl bid George goodbye and began to busy
herself with the wedding ceremony affairs—until Anthony called her up.
"Sher, did you talk or meet up with Sue today?" he asked over the line. "No, is there something up with
her?" Sheryl asked in confusion.
"She''s missing," Anthony''s worried voice came from the phone. What happened was he took Sue out
for a stroll at the park since he had free time. He left for a while to buy a bottle of water, but when he
came back, Sue was nowhere to be found.
The first person he thought Sue would go to was Sheryl. However, it turned out that Sue didn''t call or
go to Sheryl at all. It immediately made him worried and anxious.
"Is it possible…?" Before Sheryl finished her words, Anthony had understood what she wanted to say.
"If it is true, that would be terribly bad," he said with a sad smile.
"Don''t worry. Just calm down," Sher tried to reassure Anthony. "Maybe Sue just walked somewhere
and wanted to stay alone for a while. You just stay there. I will go to you in a bit."
After she hung up the call, Sheryl handed her half-written n to one of her staff and hurriedly drove to
where Anthony was.
When she arrived at the park, Laura was already there. They had previously searched every ce
across the park but to no avail.
Sheryl locked her car doors and quickly went over to Laura and Anthony. "How is it going? Have you
found her?" she asked in a worried voice. "No," Anthony replied sadly.
Although he looked calm on the outside, the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him and showed
how nervous and uneasy he was.
With doubled fists, he began to think about other ces where Sue might be. "Maybe…Peggy and
Allen took her away," he guessed.
"If that''s true, we must call the police. It''s no use if we just stay here and keep searching without any
directions. The best thing we could do is call for help. Only then we can find where Sue is," Sheryl
anxiously suggested. She took out her phone and began to dial the police hotline.
"No, no, you can''t do that!" Laura suddenly said and tried to stop Sheryl from making the call. "We can''t
call the police!" she hastily added in a shrill voice.
"Why?" Sheryl asked. She was confused as to why Laura didn''t want to call for help. She stared
incredulously at Laura and added, "Aunt, it is very urgent at this point. If we don''t call the police now,
can we assure Sue''s safety by just searching for her on our own?"
"I didn''t want you to call the police just for Sue''s sake," Laura said in a distraught voice. "She''s
pregnant now. What if they get enraged and do something bad to the child in her belly because we
called the police?" she added.
Her mmy hand held Anthony''s own as she turned to her son. "Anthony, Sue can''t be in delicate
situations. How about…you just do as they told you. As long as Sue is safe and sound, everything will
be okay," she said in an attempt to reassure him.
However, her words didn''t seem to cate Anthony. "Mom, just calm down," he replied with a stiff
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
frown. "They didn''t call us up at all. Even if we are willing to ept their proposal, they should have
contacted us first. Otherwise, I can do nothing at all."
His frown was gone as he stroked the back of Laura''s hand tofort her. "Rest assured. If they truly
want to use Sue for their own gains, they won''t hurt her now. We just have to wait," he said.
Laura nodded in agreement. Although Anthony had reassured her, his face still showed worry and
concern.
Meanwhile, Sheryl quietly walked a bit further away from them and called Andy to ask for help. Andy
immediately agreed without any hesitation.
After she finished her call, she went back to where Anthony and Laura were. "Aunt, Anthony and I can
handle it here. How about you go back home and rest?" Sheryl suggested. "Maybe Sue had already
gone home. How about you just go back to make sure?" she added. "Yes. If Sue really is back there,
you can also notify us in time," Anthony echoed Sheryl''s words and convinced Laura to go back home
and rest.
Laura thought about their suggestion for a bit, then she finally agreed. After all, there was nothing left
for her to do but worry if she continued to stay with them. She bid the two of them goodbye and went
on her way.
Just after Laura had left, Anthony''s phone rang. The screen showed it was from Sue''s number and he
quickly answered. "Hello? Is this Sue? Where are you now? Don''t you know you nearly frightened me
to death?"
"Anthony, I…" Sue just managed to say two words before Allen grabbed the phone away. "Anthony,
how have you been since I saw youst time?" Allen''s voice spoke over the line.
When Anthony heard the familiar voice, he knew he guessed it right. "Allen, don''t cross your limits. She
is your own sister," Anthony said as he clutched the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"Don''t worry. I won''t do anything to her...for now.
But sooner orter…
I can''t promise that she''d still be safe," Allen said, a sadistic smile on his face. His threatening words
made Anthony turn stone-cold, then he made his next move.
A deep sigh escaped his lips before he asked, "What do you truly want?"
