The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1070 The Comeback

When her phone started to ring, Holley was still sound asleep.

The past few days had been hard for her. How could she be happy when she failed to achieve something she had dreamed of?

"Damn it. Who dares to disturb my morning sleep?" Holly cursed. She decided to not answer the call and went back to sleep instead.

However, it rang again. The repetitive sound annoyed Holley so much, but before she was about to hang up once more, she saw the caller's name on the screen.

A sense of triumph suddenly coursed within her.

She was finally going to taste victory. That woman would come back soon.

When she answered the call, an impatient voice over the line began to give out instructions.

"I'm about to board, and I've sent my flight information to your phone. Come to the airport and pick me up."

The voice on the other end of the call was quite familiar to Holley, but the other person didn't know who she was exactly.

The caller hadn't even seen Holley before, so she didn't know if she should cooperate with Holley or not. However, since Holley promised to do her a favor, she couldn't pass up such a good chance. It had been three long years! Autumn Zhao! Finally, Rachel was coming back.

"I promise I will wait for you at the airport on time," Holley said. The caller sounded quite uncertain, so she replied firmly to reassure her.

"All right. See you later at the airport!" Rachel calmly said. After she hung up, Holley had no desire to sleep again. She got up, showered, and put makeup on. However, there were still a few hours before Rachel's plane would land. Even if she had waited for many days, she wasn't in a hurry to see Rachel and didn't mind having to wait for several hours more. She stared at her reflection in the mirror as if she saw new hope again.

A few hours later, Holley drove her car to the airport since Rachel's plane had just landed. She parked her car and lazily waited for Rachel in the arrival area.

Meanwhile, Rachel wore a luxurious suit. Her curvy and tall figure emphasized her beauty. She used to be an A-list celebrity, which explained her good looks. However, she was worried that she would be too recognizable, so she covered her face with black sunglasses and a mask.

Then again, Holley still recognized her in the sea of passengers.

When Holley was about to wave her hand at Rachel, she heard a few girls talking. Maybe they gossiped shamelessly about her because of the noisy airport, or they were just rude. They were so loud that even Holley who stood on the other side could hear them.

"Look, look, is that woman Rachel?"

"Rachel?" "Oh my god, it's truly her!"

"I remembered she was notorious before?" "How could she show up at the airport? Doesn't she feel embarrassed?""

"How long has it been since those things happened? Maybe she had no problems about leaving the entertainment industry just like that." "These female celebrities are really all shameless!"

"How could you? You can say that about her, but can you not include other celebrities? Not all of them are so shameless like her."

"Even if she can't stand mediocrity, you know it wouldn't change anything. She has such a notorious reputation so no one would care about who she is."

"Who do you think you are?"

"How could you say that? How could you judge her like that?" "I dare you to say that again!" The more they tattled, the more excited they got. They didn't even notice that Rachel was already near them. These young girls looked around and saw that Rachel was alone, and had no entourage, so they proudly said, "That's right; we were talking about you. Now that you did those nasty things, you deserve these savage but true comments, pah!" "Just go back to where you came from!"

"You're such a shameless bitch. How could you pretend to be innocent now?"

"It's no use acting innocent now that you're obsolete. Even paparazzi won't follow you when you show up at the airport." "We only talked about you because we remembered what you did, but do you think othe people would?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Nobody has the time to care about you."

"Hahaha!" They continued to yap about Rachel, and they even got more excited because they could now curse her in her presence. They were even bold enough to show off that they could gossip loudly with Rachel in front of them.

"I dare you to say that again, and I will tear your mouths apart!" Rachel yelled as she shook with rage. She was so livid with embarrassment she began to swear and shout. She definitely lost her elegance when she exited the area.

However, that didn't faze the gossipy girls. "Tear our mouths apart? Lady, you should realize what your situation is now. We are many, but you're alone. Do you really think you can do that on your own?" the leader of the group said haughtily. "Maybe you can exercise your audacity to use some men to help you. This way, you can also know if there are still people who would side with you or not," she added. Her words only provoked Rachel and added fuel to the fire.

A resounding slap suddenly landed on the arrogant girl's face. Holley was the type of person with a detached and stern nature. Moreover, her present anger showed that she shouldn't be trifled with. "I don't know whether Rachel could find others to help her or not, but I did her a favor and slapped you just now. Do you think you can find someone to help you?" she said coldly.

The sudden slap obviously fazed the girl. When she was about to get back at Holley, she saw that she only reached until Holley's chest. What was more, Holley's murderous glare scared the life out of her. She lost all her bravado and weakly said, "How...how could you slap me?"

Holley icily raised one eyebrow. "So what? Should I notice you before I slap you? Or you just want me to tell you why I did it?"

Her eyes glared viciously at this girl and her other friends. Then she rolled up her sleeves, and her face went stone cold. "Does anybody else want to fight me? I'm in a not too bad mood today. I can stay down with you forever!" she shouted.

These young girls were all university students and only came to the airport to pick up their classmates. They had the guts to gossip about others, but when it got too serious to the point of actual fighting, none of them was brave enough.

Not to mention, Holley was a tall woman who looked merciless and must be a real demon in a fight, so no one dared to challenge her.

She looked at the silent girls and smirked. "What's wrong with you? I thought you were all brave enough just now? Why did you turn into cowards?" Holley knew that they must have been intimidated by her appearance, so she continued to goad them.

"Fine, fine, fine. we don't need to lower ourselves to her level. Let's go. Go, go, go," one of them ushered the girls. She pretended to be poised and took one of another girls' hand in an attempt to leave. However, the girl who got slapped didn't want to give up so easily. She remained on her spot and refused to be pulled away. "Let's go. If your goose is cooked, we will all get demerits on our records," one girl tried to persuade her.

Her words worked, and although the slapped girl was still full of hatred, she couldn't say anything else. She just glared fiercely at Holley and Rachel, and then said, "Whatever, you won. Let's go!" When all of the nosy girls were out of sight, Holley turned to Rachel. "Hello, Miss Bai, welcome back!" she said kindly.

"You're the one who called me?" Rachel looked her up and down as she asked curiously. She spoke again after a while. "But if my memory is correct, we actually don't know each other, right?"
