Chapter 1591 Mission Failed


    Running Sheryl over had been both Holley''s and Le''s idea, so when the two finally met, Holley was


    anxious to hear the good news.


    When Le had been on the phone with Holley the night before, she hadn''t told her what happened.


    Holly was antsy. She hoped to find out as early as possible how things had turned out.


    Therefore, when Le started talking to Holley in a pompous way, holding her head high, Holley


    thought they had seeded. ''She''s acting so arrogant around me today! It seems like Sheryl has


    finally been killed, and Le''s proud of it. Finally! Finally, Le has be the hostess of Shining


    Company!''


    However, Le went on to report to Holly the opposite of what she had been expecting. She drank her


    coffee and said, "I failed. Sheryl''s fine." Le was so angry that her voice shook as she spoke. She


    regretted failing to kill Sheryl.


    Holley was shocked to hear this news. In her mind, she med Le. ''Why on earth is she behaving so


    arrogantly in front of me? This is nothing to be proud of! She has obviously forgotten her position!''


    Without holding back her emotions, Holley replied with anger, "Le, you arepletely useless! It was


    such an easy job and you blew it! I asked you to do one thing! Only one thing! And you just couldn''t


    seed. You still want to be the hostess of Shining Company, don''t you? You must be dreaming then,


    because you are so weak and useless!"


    These words worsened Le''s anger. She thought to herself, ''While we are in this difficult situation,


    she''s doing nothing except ming me. By now, she should be thinking of other ways to end Sheryl,


    not putting this failure solely on me!'' Le sneered and looked provocatively at Holley. "I''m useless and


    weak? What about you? If you are so strong and useful, why don''t you think of a way to kill Sheryl by


    yourself? You know nothing about dealing with Sheryl, but you can think of a thousand ways to me


    me. You are useless, too! You''re only good at running your mouth against your own allies!"


    Le''s provocation got to Holley. She was so angry that she mmed down her hands on the table.


    Standing up, she pointed at Le. "From now on, don''t expect any money from me. Never!"


    She emphasized the words "any money."


    However, when Le heard this, she just startedughing. Sheughed so hard and for so long that it


    confused Holley.


    ''Why is sheughing?'' Holley thought. ''What on earth is so funny about no longer getting financial help


    from me?''


    Le couldn''t help herself. She kept chuckling for a while. ''Has she forgotten everything?'' she thought


    to herself. ''Has she forgotten how I got the money from her in the first ce?


    If she doesn''t give me money, she will never get what she wants.


    Besides, I don''t even care about the money. I''m just pretending to work for her. Truth is, I''m using her.''


    Le finally stoppedughing and stared at Holley. She said firmly, "Holley, you can stop paying me.


    But if you do that, you would never get any information about Shining Company from me."


    Holley''s expression suddenly changed. She was shocked. ''How could I have possibly forgotten that?''


    she wondered to herself.


    A couple of secondster, her expression changed again. Suddenly, she was not angry anymore.


    Instead, she looked at Le, this time with a calm and friendly face. She grabbed her by the arm and


    said, "Le, I''m sorry. I was just too nervous. I lost it when I heard that the bitch is still alive. I didn''t


    intend to push you so hard. We are like sisters, right? It is natural for us to help each other and deal


    with that bitch together, so there is no way I would stop giving you money. And you will keep giving me


    information, won''t you, sister?" Holley talked in a soft voice and looked at Le sincerely. If a stranger


    heard her talk like this, he would think that Holley and Le were close, or that they were best friends at


    least.


    But Le wasn''t a stranger. She knew Holley. And she knew that Holley wasn''t the person she was


    pretending to be right now. ''She is just using me. We will never be friends. But of course, I too am just


    taking advantage of her, '' Le thought.


    Holley was well aware that without Le''s help, she couldn''t get what she wanted. ''Without her, I can


    never destroy Shining Company, '' Holley reflected. ''How could I ever face Ferry if that happens? Ferry


    won''t leave me alone or let me go. I can''t image what he will do to me if I fail!''


    Le also fully understood that without Holley''s help, she couldn''t do anything because she was always


    with Melissa.


    "Yes, Holley," she said. "We help each other. But you have to remember that I''m not your subordinate


    and you are not my boss. We benefit from each other and we are equals. So, whatever your ns or


    decisions may be, you have to tell me first. We''ll discuss them and you will listen to my advice.


    Besides, I don''t want to see you acting so rashly anymore. If you yell at me and me me again, this


    cooperation ends at once. I''m not the only one who''s going to suffer because of it. Do you


    understand?" Le obviously had the upper hand here. Holley couldn''t respond to this. She quietly

    endured the humiliation and nodded in agreement.


    Still, Le didn''t stop there. She continued, "Alright, then. Since you agree, I think you should go home


    now ande up with other ways to deal with Sheryl. Killing that bitch is not my job alone. It''s ours.


    You can''t just stand there and watch me do everything for you. Okay?"


    ''After all I have done my part. I should ask her to do her fair share, '' Le thought to herself.


    "I get it. Don''t worry. I will help you think of a way," Holley answered, smiling.


    Le managed a smile too, but it disappeared at once. She grabbed her sunsses and said coldly,


    "Then I''m going back home. Melissa is waiting for me."


    After enduring this humiliation, Holley watched Le walk away. ''I don''t know what she was being so


    arrogant about. She''s done nothing but kiss Melissa''s ass!'' she thought in anger once Le left.


    Le, not knowing any of this, walked out of the cafe feeling victorious. ''I finally get to be in charge


    now.'' She smiled smugly.


    She returned to Dream Garden and thought over everything that had happened today. She decided


    she couldn''t just wait here and do nothing. She had to be in Shining Company at once. It was the only


    way to keep Sheryl and Charles from getting back together.


    When she saw Melissa walking toward her, she hurriedly looked away and tried her best to look upset.


    She turned back to face Melissa once thetter hade closer to her. When Melissa looked at Le''s


    face, all she saw was sadness.


    She asked, "Le, what''s wrong? Did somebody do something? Tell me! What happened?"


    As soon as Melissa stopped talking, Le burst into tears. She held Melissa''s hand and said, "Aunt


    Melissa, my lingerie store has gone bankrupt. I''ve decided to close it down, but I have nowhere else to


    go. I can''t find a job. If I''m unemployed, I would not be able to make a living for myself."


    Without hesitation, Melissa said, "No problem! You live in Dream Garden. You can eat here and live


    here with me. You don''t have to worry about anything."


    But Le shook her head, saying, "Aunt Melissa, I appreciate your generosity, but I don''t want this. I


    want independence. I don''t want to rely on you. I want a job so I can be on the same level as Charles."


    Melissa took note of this concern and agreed. ''She''s right. And it''ll be good to have someone help


    Charles at work, '' she thought.


    "Don''t worry. I remember what you saidst time. You want to work at Shining Company. I''ll talk to


    Charles when he gets home from work tonight. I will help get you back into thepany." Melissa


    spoke with determination. She looked at Le, trying to persuade her into believing her.


    "Really? Aunt Melissa, you would really do that for me? You''re willing to talk to Charles about this?


    Le asked Melissa in excitement.


    Melissa nodded. She was happy to see Le so eager.


    "Aunt Melissa, thank you! Thank you so much! You are the best," Le said with tears in her eyes. She


    seemed deeply moved and gave Melissa a big hug.


    It worked on Melissa. She was also moved by Le''s reaction. She patted Le''s back andforted


    her. "It''s alright. There''s no need to thank me. We will be a family very soon," she said.


    "Yes, we will!" Le said as she shed Melissa a big smile.


    Afterforting Le, Melissa walked upstairs. Le''s eyes followed her. After Melissa disappeared


    from her sight, Leughed, satisfied. ''Sheryl, '' she thought, ''after I finally return to Shining Company,


    you will never make it back to Dream Garden.''


    At Eton Kindergarten, a meeting was about to take ce.


    rk and Shirley had been asked by their teacher to invite their parents to the meeting. Sheryl arrived


    at the kindergarten very early.


    rk saw his mother first. He ran toward Sheryl and jumped into her arms happily. After a while, he


    asked in a soft voice, "Where is Dad? Is he noting?"


    Sheryl hadn''t told Charles about this meeting. Last time when they had seen each other, it had not


    been pleasant. She didn''t want to forgive or see him so soon.


    She grinned at rk and kissed his face. "Dad is busy, but Mom is here for rk and Shirley," said


    Sheryl.


    rk had always been a good boy, so he didn''t respond. Still, he missed his father very much.


    Sheryl sighed and thought, ''I know how much he misses Charles, but after I left Dream Garden,


    Charles never talked about seeing the kids. I don''t know if the kids are even important to him. Maybe


    he just doesn''t love them as much as I thought he did.''
