ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 9 Episode 40

The very thought of Ferry returning to Ylanbu made Holley tremble with fear. Her throats dried up as she answered the phone. After clearing her throat, she asked, “Now that you are coming back, is Charles aware of it? Have you thought of the consequences if he comes to know about your return?”

“You forget about it.” Ferry sneered as he spoke to Holley over the phone, “That is none of your business. It is I who has to deal with it. You just mind your own business.”

Saying this Ferry hung up the phone abruptly. Holley stood there dumbfounded not knowing what to do. A sudden pensiveness dawned upon her heart making her feel as if she had a very heavy rock on her chest that was pushing her down. Holley picked up her bag hastily and drove straight to the cemetery in Ylanbu.

She made her way to Wendy’s grave. She stared at her picture on the grave that was still the same as before. She stood there like a little girl with tears in her eyes and a heavy heart, looking at her mother’s smiling face and whispered, “Mom, tell me what should I do?”

Standing by Wendy’s grave gave her some kind of peace as her mind traveled to the past. She was once a privileged young girl of a rich family. However, following her parent’s demise life had not been the same again.

It was all because of Sheryl. She was the only one to be blamed for Holley’s condition to be reduced to this state. She was the cause behind all her miseries.

“Mom, just tell me what should I do now?” It was the first time Holley had visited Wendy’s grave ever since her death.

Her mind was in a mess. On one hand, she wanted to take revenge on Sheryl. On the other hand, she thought about dealing with Donna. And now she had one more opponent to deal with — Ferry. And Ferry was a nightmare to Holley.

No matter how much she transformed herself, she would never have a chance of being able to rise above the masses as long as Ferry was there. She would always be a puppet in his hands.

“That year you killed dad, and you were put to death. Mom, I really don’t know what to do now. I’m so tired. I don’t know if I’m right or not if I continue to be like this.” Holley started to feel light as she spoke her heart out. She paused for a moment and sobbed for a while. Then she started speaking again, “I know George is taking me seriously. He has been treated me very well. He has even gone against his family for my sake. But the person he has fallen in love with… is under disguise. I don’t know if I should tell him the truth. How will I face him? I’m really tired. Could you please help me, mom?”

Holley was under too much pressure. She didn’t even have someone who she could talk to in the city. And the only place she could turn to was her own mother’s grave.

Talking to her about all her troubles and hesitations made her feel better.

Wendy was a good mother to Holley. Though she had made lots of mistakes, whatever she did was for Holley’s sake. But as fate would have it, she was dead, leaving Holley alone to fight her own battle. Holley squinted her eyes she thought of Wendy’s death.

She stood in front of Wendy’s grave and swore to herself that she would definitely take revenge for Wendy’s death.

She stayed there for two hours. She had a lot to tell Wendy all the things that happened in Korea during the past three years. She felt much better when she finished.

She looked at Wendy’s photo on the tombstone and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I will definitely get justice for you. I promise it will happen soon. I’ll make Sheryl to repent for what she did to you. I will make her go down and apologize to you personally. That’s my promise to you.”

Holley wiped off her tears and gathered herself. Then she let out a cold laugh and walked out of the cemetery. Not long after she left, someone appeared in front of Wendy’s grave. The person stood there for a moment and left in a hurry.

In the Murphy family house

Sheryl and Sue went back to their rooms after dinner. Peggy had not bother them any more. She seemed to have disappeared completely after having received the money.

When Sheryl mentioned about Sue’s apartment, she spoke of Holley. She looked at Sue and said, “Mimi, if you are unwilling to let them live over there, you can go and discuss it with Miss Myers to think of a way to chase them away. Miss Myers treats you well. I believe she will help you if you talk to her.”

“She?” Sue creased her brows.

Sue found Holley to be very strange right from the very beginning.

On one hand, Holley claimed to be friends with Sheryl, while on the other hand, she was encouraging Sue to fall out with Sheryl pretending as if it was all for her own good.

Sue could not count on Holley for anything. She got a very wierd vibes from her. How could Sue ask a two-faced female like Holley for help?

“What’s wrong?” Sheryl looked at Sue inquisitively and asked, “Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Sher, I won’t ask for her help.” Sue forced a diplomatic smile. She though it was better not to discuss the matter with Sheryl at this point. Instead she would keep a close eye on Holley in case she stabbed her from the back.

“Why not?” Sheryl felt Sue’s reaction at the very mention of Holley was a little weird. She looked at Sue and explained, “Mimi, the easiest way to get Peggy and Allen leave is to get the company to tell them that the dormitory is meant for employees. We would take legal measures if they don’t vacate it. In this way, Peggy and Allen will have no choice but to leave. This is the best way. Why don’t you agree to it?”

“Sher, you won’t understand.” Sue did not explain the reason directly. She frowned slightly and said to Sheryl, “Holley is not as simple as you think. I don’t want to have anything more to do with her. I won’t ask for her help and neither will you.”

Sue looked at Sheryl and added, “You should keep an eye on Holley. I have a kind of feeling that she might be up to something malicious for you.”

“What are you talking about?” Sheryl looked at Sue in confusion and said, “There is nothing between us. We have no conflicting interest. Why would she do anything bad to me?”

“I don’t know exactly what she is up to. But I have a strong intuition that she is certainly up to something not so pleasant.” Sue did not have a substantial evidence so she could not say anything with enough certainty.

She looked at Sheryl and continued, “Anyhow, keep an eye on her. Don’t trust her too much. It won’t hurt you if you are a little careful.”

“Fine.” Sheryl looked at Sue and thought that there must be some misunderstanding between Sue and Holley. So she didn’t have to take Sue’s words seriously.

“But, then, what about your apartment? What are you going to do with it?” Sheryl looked at Sue and said, “Mimi, you can stay with us if you want. Or we can find another apartment. Right now, your apartment is taken by them. Are you really cool with that?”

“Of course not.” Sue sneered and said to Sheryl in front of her, “But… Mr. Taylor’s idea is great. Sher, please talk to Mr. Taylor. There is no time for us to lose. We can find other solutions if his idea doesn’t work.”

“Okay.” Sheryl nodded her head.
