The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 991 Ferry's Warning

"What is she doing here?" Holley seethed as she stepped out of the shadows to confront Sheryl. 'She ruined us. How dare she come here?' she screamed with hatred in her heart.

Ferry grabbed her hand and pulled her into their hiding place again.

"What are you trying to do?" He frowned at her.

"I am going to ask her to get the hell out of here. She is a shameless bitch. Mom wouldn't want her here," Holley replied emotionally. Narrowing his eyes at the seething woman, Ferry snorted, "Three years! I thought you would be smarter by now. Looks like you are as stupid as ever."

Holley ground her teeth at his mockery and asked in a displeased tone, "What do you mean?"

"What's in it for you if you went out there and drove her away from the grave?" Ferry asked, with a sneer.

"I..." Holley stammered. 'What would I get if I asked her to go away now?' she mused.

"All you would do is expose yourself to your enemy," Ferry continued, giving a contemptuous laugh. "Well, if that's what you want, I will not stop you. You can go tell Sheryl that you are Yvonne Gu. But if you don't want that, you'd better stay here quietly."

His words helped Holley regain her composure. 'He is right. I can't let Sheryl discover my real identity yet.

Perhaps Sheryl has started to suspect me, but I don't think she have any proof. If I appear in front of her now, she'll know for sure who I am.

I can't do that,' she decided.

Ferry had followed Sheryl to the cemetery. After being discovered by her once before, he had learned to carefully stay at a distance from her. When Sheryl was parking her car outside the cemetery, he hastily took a shortcut to Wendy's grave because he was afraid that she might run into Holley there. And just as he had suspected, Holley was right in front of the grave. He had made it in time to remove her from the spot.

He didn't think it was the right time for Sheryl to know that Holley was her sister.

'Yvonne is now Holley, BM Corporation CEO's pretty girlfriend. Her new identity could help me deal with Sheryl, 'he meditated.

The moment she reached Wendy's graveyard, Sheryl's eyes were caught by the bunch of fresh flowers at the gravestone. She knew that Yvonne must have been there.

Although Sheryl didn't see her, she was certain that Holley was her half sister-Yvonne Gu.

'No wonder she tried to give me a hard time,' she thought.

Sheryl looked at Wendy's picture on her grave. With a sincere smile, she said, "Mom, I'm here.

I know that Yvonne is back. To be completely honest, she is not a bad person. But after living with you for so many years, she has picked up some nasty habits from you. She is like a child. She wants to get he hands on everything she likes and destroy all that she dislikes." Sheryl let out a sardonic laugh and said, "But you know what? When I found that she had escaped from prison, I was really happy. She is my sister after all. I hated that she had to suffer in prison and I was glad for her because I thought that she could now lead a new life."

A sad expression settled on her face as she continued, "She had a plastic surgery and she is so beautiful now. Her appearance has changed completely. She has a boyfriend who treats her like a princess and I also heard that they are getting married. She has a good life. I don't understand why she chose to come back."

Sheryl sighed heavily, not knowing what to think of her actions. She felt helpless. After a while, she opened her mouth, "Why does she want to risk her new life just to bring me down? I don't get it.

Three years ago, you ended up in prison and you deserved it. I don't know if you ever realized your mistakes. But I don't want to see her go down the same path. If you were alive right now, wouldn't you wish for her to live happily?"

She crouched down near the grave. Her eyes were fixed on the gravestone as she said in a decided tone, "I hate to see her as an enemy. But I am not afraid of her either. If she continues on this path of revenge, I will strike back and I hope you don't hold it against me when I do."

After she confessed in front of Wendy's tomb, she placed a banquet of lily at her grave. She got up and turned away from the tomb.

Before taking her leave, she took a deep breath and said in a loud and clear voice, "Yvonne Gu! If you are here, hear me well and remember my words. I don't want to turn against you, but that doesn't mean that I am scared of you. From this moment, we are no longer sisters. I will not stand by and allow you to hurt me. If you move against me, then I will make my move too."

Sheryl drew another deep breath and continued, "I hope you are clever enough to make the right choice. You are lucky that you've met a man who loves you so much and is willing to do anything for you. If I were you, I would bring him back to Korea and live happily. If you don't, then you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

She looked around the graveyard once and then swiftly walked to the exit. Holley stood in the shadows, listening to her every word.

"Are you bothered by what she said? Are you going to give up on your vengeance?" Ferry asked flatly, taking a sidelong glance at Holley.

"No," Holley replied in a low voice. "I will not trust a single word that comes out of her mouth. I will never forget what she did to me and my mother. She is gonna pay for her mistakes."

"Good." Ferry was relieved that she wasn't affected by Sheryl's little speech. "Just remember this your target is Sheryl. And as for your boyfriend, you need to appreciate his feelings for you and take care of his needs. He is a powerful weapon which will come in handy at critical moments. You can't give up now, do you hear me?" he said menacingly.

Holley looked up at Ferry and asked cautiously, "You have been following me?"

With a defiant laugh, he replied, "No, I haven't. I have been busy following Sheryl. I don't have time to keep tabs on you."

"But how...?" Why do you know so much about me?' she wondered, but didn't ask out loud.

Ferry said in a small growl, "I am always watching you. Don't do anything stupid or you will not be spared."

Holley knew what Ferry was capable of. So when she heard his threat, she shuddered.

Ferry's threatening words worked like a charm on Holley. She stayed by her mother's grave for a long time and calmed down. Her mind was clear.

On her way home, she dropped by the mall and bought some food. When she entered her apartment, she saw George waiting for her. He dashed towards her and pulled her into a tight hug. With a worried look, he threw a bunch of questions at her. "Where have you been? Why didn't you answer my calls? Do you know how worried I was?" he asked.

"I am fine," Holley said with a subtle smile. "I am here now."

He figured from her tone that Holley was in low spirits. He let go of her and focused his gaze on her. Anxiously, he asked, "Are you still mad at me for what happened at the meeting?"

When Holley didn't reply, he promised instantly, "Don't worry. When my mother is in a good mood, I will talk to her and find a way to get your job back. So, cheer up."

Holley responded with a bitter smile and said, "There is no need for that."
