Chapter 1003 Reach An Agreement


    "And how about you?" Donna quizzed. "I have to admit that you are the best liar I have seen."


    "I love George wholeheartedly," Holley said, her voice devoid of any emotions. "Believe it or not, I am


    serious about him."


    "Save it, Holley!" Donna cast a sharp nce at Holley and said defiantly, "Murderers like you cannot


    love anyone."


    "You!" Caught off-guard by Donna''sment, Holley was flurried and she didn''t know how to snap


    back. After collecting herself, she took a cold look at Donna and said calmly, "Believe it or not, I have


    never hurt anyone. The real killer is that bitch, Sheryl. My father and mother died because of her."


    She couldn''t hide her resentment towards Sheryl as she mentioned her name. Her face twitched in


    anger and she continued to put dirt on her sister''s name. "She is a bloody jinx to everyone around her!


    Had I learnt that earlier, I wouldn''t have agreed to let my mother keep her in our family and she


    wouldn''t have ended up in prison and passed away like that."


    "Come on, Holley! It''s just you and me here, so you can stop acting," Donna said. "I wouldn''t have


    brought this up if I didn''t have proof. So, don''t waste any time trying to defend yourself."


    Donna felt pretty good as she watched Holley''s face turn dark with fury. She had tried so many ways to


    put her son''s girlfriend down. And it was the first time that she had gotten the upper hand on her.


    "You chose George for his money. You thought that he could help you take revenge. It''s fine that


    George wants to marry you and I will not stop you from doing so. But I will fire him the day you get


    married. You are a smart girl, so you should know what that means. George will have nothing once he


    leaves BM Corporation. But if you really love him, well...If you really love him, you wouldn''t mind even if


    he bes penniless, right?"


    With a tauntingugh, she continued, "You will get nothing if you marry my son. If you don''t believe me,


    you can go ahead with your dream wedding. I am a person of my word."


    The resolve on Donna''s face suggested that she wasn''t joking. Staring at thedy, Holley panicked.


    With a rattled expression, Holley grabbed Donna''s hand and extricated herself, "Auntie, please believe


    me. I never did anything wrong. I really love George. Why won''t you give me a chance to prove


    myself?"


    With a pitiful look at Donna, she pleaded, "George and I have been together for years. We are in love. I


    can''t imagine what his life would be like if I left him. I..."


    "That''s enough, Holley Ye. Are you not tired of this constant acting?" Donna interrupted her impatiently,


    as she shook her hand free from hers. "Your tricks will only work on George. You can''t fool me."


    Frustrated, Holley surveyed Donna. She concluded that she couldn''t make her change her mind.


    She gave Donna a cold nce and said with all honesty, "Fine, tell me what I can get if I agree to leave


    your son."


    "Now, we are talking!" Donnaughed with a look of satisfaction. She was d that Holley had finally


    showed her true colors.


    "Stop this nonsense and let''s talk!" Holley was losing her patience. Casting Donna a sidelong nce,


    she went on, "Now that you know my purpose, we''ll speak frankly. I want to know how much you are


    willing to give me."


    Donna studied her, lost in thoughts. ''She really is a tough opponent. Since I started doing business, I


    have met all kinds of people. But I have never met a heartless and shameless person like her.''


    Donna took out a check from her stylish handbag and handed it to Holley. Brusquely, she said, "This is


    a check for five million. When you were Yvonne Gu, this was probably just lose change for you. But


    now, this is not a sum that you can refuse. After all, you are no longer a richdy. Take it and leave my


    son. You can go wherever you like. Are we clear?"


    Holley took the check from her and gave a scornful look at it. She snorted, "Five million? I don''t think


    so."


    Donna knew that Holley was greedy and that she wouldn''t agree to leave that easily. She let out a


    contemptuousugh and said, "Name your price. How much do you think will work for you?"

    When Holley remained silent, she urged, "Come on, Holley! Just say it. That''s why I am here. As long


    as the price is reasonable, I will give it!"


    Holley gave a dismissiveugh and pretended to calcte, "Well, it has been three years since I''ve


    started dating George. I showed him a wonderful time, you know. And if I continue to stay with George,


    I could get more money. But since you want me to leave him, you shouldpensate for all that. What


    do you say?


    I am not a greedy woman, so we''ll settle for fifty million. Besides that, I want you to transfer the


    business ownership of the branch of BM Corporation in Y City to me. After I break up with George, I


    know that you will persuade him to go back to Korea with you. So, you can leave thepany to me as


    a goodbye gift. Once you ept my conditions, I will leave your son and never see him again. What do


    you say? It''s a good deal, huh?"


    Donna gaped at her, and remarked, "You impress me, Holley Ye. I underestimated you. Turns out that


    you are an insatiable woman."


    "I am out of options here," Holley said with a shrug. "I am a girl without any background. I have to do


    this to guarantee my life after I leave George. Besides, I think it''s a profitable business for you."


    She sneered and continued, "You didn''t tell George about my past because you didn''t want to see him


    suffer. Otherwise you wouldn''t be here, wasting your time negotiating with me. Am I right?"


    "You got me," Donna epted with a disdainful smile.


    She frowned and asked, "Will you really leave George if I ept your conditions?"


    "Yes, I will," Holley nodded. "I will break up with your baby boy gently. I will not say anything to upset


    him. You have my word."


    "Okay, it''s a deal," Donna agreed. She didn''t care about the money or thepany as long as Holley


    left her son alone. As far as she was concerened, George was far more important. Besides, fifty million


    and a branch office was not a big deal for her.


    "Remember your promise," Donna said nonchntly. "I hope you will not back out once I''ve prepared


    the check and the contract."


    "Don''t worry. I will keep my word," Holley assured her, with a sneer. George was a nice man and he


    had treated her well. But she didn''t want to miss the chance to get this hefty sum and thepany''s


    ownership. So, she decided to let him go.
