Chapter 980 A Charity Dinner (Part One)
"You will know once it happens," Sheryl said to Holley without any emotions in her voice.
Afterpleting her words, she turned around and left immediately. Holley stared angrily at her
direction like she wanted Sheryl dead right now.
''Why can she get whatever she wants so easily? No matter how hard I try, I am always the loser
against her!'' Holley''s evil thoughts echoed in her head.
''It would be Wendy''s death anniversary in a few days. I once swore before her tombstone that I would
make Sheryl pay for what she did before that day. However, it seems to be unlikely to happen now.''
Holley seemed to be spacing out as she remained looking at Sheryl.
Then she thought, ''No, I can''t give up so easily!''
She was still in the middle of her thoughts when something caught her attention from the crowd of that
auction party. It was Donna and S together.
George started walking to the two at once to wee them. He was a little surprised to see the two
women at such an event. "Mother, I didn''t expect you toe here."
"We arrived a little while ago," Donnaughed and said to George.
Then she nced at Holley shortly before looking away. She was acting as if she didn''t even notice
Holley standing next to her son. She just witnessed the quarrel between Holley and Sheryl and found it
was interesting.
Although Donna didn''t know what was wrong between Holley and Sheryl, she was sure that they knew
each other before and didn''t get along very well. ''Maybe Sheryl can be one of my allies to get this bitch
away from my son.''
On the other hand, it was obvious that Holley wasn''t pleased to see Donna either. However, she could
not do much when they were surrounded by many people. She was left with no choice but to walk
towards the aged woman and greet her with respect.
As expected, Donna did not respond to her at all. Seeing this made George confused. Thus, he said to
Donna, "Mother, when did you..."
''When did she know Cary? What is she doing in this auction?'' he thought to himself.
Watching how confused George was, Donnaughed and said, "Have you forgotten that BM
Corporation is also doing business with Cary''spany? Besides, he''s your ssmate in college.
That''s actually why he sent me an invitation upon finding out that I''m in the city. What''s so surprising
about that?"
Holley couldn''t bear to stay here and talk with Donna for one more second. Thus, she grabbed
George''s arm and said, "George, let''s go and greet the other guests."
"Mother, I..." George hesitated. It would be a little embarrassing to leave his mother here. It was really
difficult for him to choose between the woman who gave birth to him and the woman he loved.
However, he chose to go with Holley in the end.
"Go ahead, my son," said Donna. Donna smiled like she didn''t care about it at all. Then she acted as
forgiving as she could and said to George, "Don''t worry about me. S is here with me."
George nodded upon hearing her and walked away with Holley.
Nevertheless, S, who was standing just next to Donna, wasn''t as kind as Donna. She red at the
couple angrily with jealousy in her eyes.
"It doesn''t matter," Donnaforted her and gently took her hands. "Don''t worry. Sooner orter,
George will be with you and not with that bitch. But now, you need to wait patiently."
"But..." S groaned and stopped whining. She managed a smile and looked at Donna. However, she
looked very sad that her smile didn''t even reflect in her eyes. She then continued, "Aunt Donna, he
loves Holley and I know that. There''s no chance for me to even be noticed by him."
"No, that''s not true," responded Donna as she looked at Holley again. ''Holley has seduced my son with
her little tricks. I don''t care about that anyway! That won''tst for so long. Sooner orter, I will let him
know how shameless and evil that bitch is!'' she thought to herself.
"S," said Donna as her hold on S''s hands went tighter. Then she whispered to her, "If I know a
way for you to be with George, are you willing to do whatever I tell you to do?"

"I..." S was confused for a moment as she didn''t know how to respond to the question.
"That''s all I need to know. If I really have a way to make him be with you, are you going to do as I say?"
Donna repeated her question.
S nced at George, who was already far away from them in the crowd. She took a little more time
staring at him as she thought of Donna''s question. He was as handsome as how he used to be. She
had loved George for so long, yet her feelings for him didn''t even fade away. That unyielding wish to be
with him was still as strong as how it was the first time they met. Thus, she asked herself, ''Am I willing
to do everything for him? Am I willing to give all that I have to be with him?''
The answer she got was "yes".
That was it! She took a deep breath, turned her gaze to Donna, and nodded, "Yes, I am willing to do
anything."
"That''s great," Donna smiled in satisfaction. She looked at S and promised her, "Believe me, I won''t
let you wait for too long."
Holley had been ufortable the whole time since she saw Donna. Although she had made an
excuse to leave her, she couldn''t just easily wipe Donna out of her mind. Noticing her long face, he
frowned and asked, "What is wrong with you? Are you ufortable? Are you ill?"
George loved Holley very much and truly cared for her. However, he found out that Holley was
sure if Holley was really the person he knew anymore.
He felt like there was a deep gap between him and Holley. That kind of gap which none of them could
pass even if he tried to.
"Why did you bring her here?" Holley asked him angrily. "You know that we do not like each other. You
also know what she did to me. Don''t you think that you haven''t made enough troubles for me?"
"What are you talking about?" asked George as he frowned harder. He looked at Donna and then
looked back at Holley. "Didn''t you hear what my mother said? It was Cary who invited her to this
auction. I didn''t even know that she woulde."
George got inpatient and added, "Don''t make unreasonable assumptions. No matter what she does,
she''s always my mother. You are just attending the same event. It doesn''t mean that you will be seeing
her all the time. What is wrong with that?"
"Don''t even try to lie to me," Holley sneered. "If you didn''t tell Cary, how could he invite your mother?
Don''t make me a fool! I''m not that innocent to be tricked and I know exactly what you are thinking
about."
Holley kept saying with a smirk on her face. She didn''t know why but when she saw Donna, she felt so
ufortable like she couldn''t even bear to stay in that auction anymore.
George also smirked, "You must be insane. There''s no reason for you to think about it like that."
He then looked at Holley with displeasure. "You should take some time to calm down."
Then, he left Holley there and walked away without any ado. He couldn''t understand why Holley had
changed so much after she came back to Y City. However, he knew that there was nothing to say to
her at that moment.
''Was it because Holley was too good at faking? Or was it because I was so blind that I couldn''t see
who she really is?'' George asked himself.
"I don''t know," he responded to his own thoughts. After finishing some bottles of wine alone, he noticed
Susan walking in through the door.
Susan was in a pink chiffon dress. It was a strapless dress which exposed her beautiful shoulders and
neck. She also got an adorable bow around her slim waist and some elegantce decorating the hem
of her dress.
Her aristocratic eyebrows and long eyshes made her shine in the crowd. Her eyes were shining like
an adorable deer who was curious and frightened among strangers. She was looking for someone in
the hall, someone she knew. And after she found the one—Sheryl, she finally felt safe and stopped
being so afraid.
