ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 57

“Is it still… because of your family?” Sheryl asked. “Yes, it is,” Sue sighed.

“Even though they’ve been caught now, I can’t feel at ease. I was thinking maybe I should pay them a visit.” “You’d better not,” Sheryl disagreed.

She reasoned with her, “You clearly know what kind of people Peggy and Allen are. If you visit them now, they won’t feel grateful for your kindness. Instead, they will hate and curse you. It will be better for you to stay home and take care of your unborn baby. Just leave them alone. Don’t you think so?”

“Sher…” Sue smiled bitterly. “You don’t need to comfort me. I know. What you said makes sense.

But I really can’t just disregard them. I don’t know what I should do.” Sue hated herself for complaining to Sheryl again, but she couldn’t help it. “Sher, I can’t count how many times you’ve consoled me. I hope that you don’t find me so troublesome.”

“Of course not,” Sheryl denied with a smile. “You are my friend and I hope that you can live a happy life together with Anthony, and eventually have a cute baby.”

Sheryl’s words made her smile. “I know what you mean, really. But… I just can’t do it.”

She hated that she didn’t have a strong mind. “Sher, you know what my family is like and I’ve accustomed to my mother and brother. Whatever happens, they are my family. No matter how they treat me, as long as they are there, I know that I have a home. If I lose them, a part of me will be lost too, as it will leave me an emptiness in my heart. I overheard Anthony talking about Allen’s case over the phone several days ago.

He mentioned that Allen might be sentenced severely. It’s probably death penalty or life imprisonment. As for my mother…

she might be put in prison for at least five years. Every time I think I turned them in myself, I feel guilty.” “Sue, Anthony is right about you. You are too kind and considerate.” Sheryl shook her head. “Why don’t you just think about how they treated you before?”

Sheryl paused and tried to comfort Sue. “Moreover, Allen is an adult, and he should accept the punishment for his own crime.” “You’re right, but still, I just can’t feel at ease.” No matter how Sheryl persuaded her, Sue just couldn’t put them aside. When she saw that Sheryl was about to continue, she stopped her. “Sher, you don’t need to say more.”

Sue patted her hands and smiled, “I know that you’re doing this all for me, but… this is a special case. I don’t think anyone can change my mind. I hope that one day I will figure it out by myself. Sher, I really appreciate all that you have done for me.

You’re always there to comfort me and make sure I feel better. Believe me, I will come around one day.” Sheryl sighed. She knew she wouldn’t be able to change anything. “All right. I’ll be waiting for that day.”

The next day was George and Sula’s wedding ceremony. But Holley had no idea about it. After she parted in discord with Oliver, Holley wasn’t able to find another patron who would like to help her.

Just as she was driven to her wits’ end, her phone started to ring and Donna’s name came up on caller ID.

“Hello, Donna! This is a surprise. What brings you to call me today?” Holley answered in a sweet voice.

“Of course it’s because I have something to talk with you,” Donna snorted. “So…

are you available now? I was hoping we can meet up.” “Of course I’m always available for you,” Holley answered gladly. “Let’s meet half an hour later, in the teahouse where we met last time.”

“Okay.” Donna hung up immediately, unwilling to talk more with Holley.

She then looked at George and said, “You stay with Sula at home. I’m going to meet her.” “No problem,” George nodded.

“Mom, you don’t need to waste any time with her. Just tell her the venue and the time.” “I know,” Donna replied.

“Leave this to me. I know how to deal with it.” She then set off to the teahouse. When she arrived there, Holley was already in the room. Holley knew that the meeting with Donna was must for the company share and money. She was so eager to know what Donna was going to offer, so she headed to the teahouse right after their conversation. Even though she only arrived ten minutes earlier than Donna, she felt like she had spent half a day waiting.

Finally, Donna showed up. Holley stood up immediately to welcome her in.

She greeted her with a smile, “Donna, you are here.”

“Save it,” Donna sneered. “It’s better for you to just call me Mrs. Obrien.”

Holley didn’t feel annoyed even though Donna taunted her. She remained smiling and said, “I feel hurt! Even though George and I are about to break up, we are not entirely separated yet. Besides, I am used to calling you Donna. Don’t worry, maybe in time I will get used to calling you Mrs. Obrien.”

Donna snorted, unwilling to argue with her at this moment.

“Donna, are you here today to give me the money and the agreement of transfer?” “You are very anxious to have them!” Donna commented.

“I used to think that you loved my son very deeply. It turns out you’ve deceived all of us. If I had known that you would betray him in exchange for such a small amount, I would have come to you long ago.”

“I will never love a man who betrays me. He deserves it!” Holley stated.

But Donna’s comments still had an impact on her. She became impatient and urged, “Stop this bullshit! Let’s cut to the chase.”

She was so anxious to know what she could get from George’s family.

Donna smiled and handed her an invitation card. The card only had a time and location printed on it, nothing more.

“Come to this place at noon tomorrow. I’ll give you everything you want,” she said. “What game are you playing now?” Holley asked suspiciously.

Somehow, the red color of the invitation card made her fretful.

“You’ll know it tomorrow,” Donna sneered. “All the shareholders of Kline Corp. will also be there. I’ll introduce you to them.

Tomorrow is an important occasion. You shouldn’t miss it. Please don’t be late!”

After Donna mentioned the shareholders, Holley’s suspicion cleared up.

Looking at Donna, she replied, “Great, I’ll be there in time”.
