ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 14 Episode 17

Rex had heard the rumors about the woman called Holley before, so he responded, “I know this thing. What’s wrong? Does this have anything to do with you? What do you want me to help you with?”

He wondered why his son suddenly cared so much about Tarsan Corporation’s issues now. If his memory served him right, Black didn’t care about the companies where he had shares in. He only cared about their family’s company, the Sanderson Group.

“Dad, I’m serious this time. I want you to support Holley as a shareholder.” Black finally stated his request. When Rex heard his son’s words, he suddenly looked meaningfully at his son.

He knew that Black almost never pleaded for anyone. Who was this Holley? How did she make Black help her?

“Holley? Who is she? Is it worth your pleading for her? You should know the rules of our family. I only help our own family members and Holley isn’t one of them. She doesn’t deserve my help,” Rex said with contempt. It was clear that Rex hated Holley with the way he spoke.

When Black heard his father’s words, his face turned cold and he looked seriously at Rex. He originally didn’t want to reveal his relationship with Holley in such a sudden situation. He wanted to formally introduce her to his father, but now it looked like he had to break his plan. Rex glanced at his son, and realized that he wanted to tell him something serious. His eyebrows shot up and curiosity got the better of him.

“Dad, Holley… She is my girlfriend. She’s also the only woman I want to marry in my life. I don’t want her to be sad, so Dad, please help her,” Black claimed. His voice was quite firm, and his eyes shone with love for Holley.

Truly, Rex was amazed. This was the first time he had seen his son speak so solemnly about a woman. He knew that his son was deeply in love with this lady.

Before, Black used to be surrounded by many women but he never cared much about them. Falling in love was rare for him. But as Black’s father, he was still worried if the woman his son met really loved him.

If this Holley was honest and decent, Rex would be happy about their relationship. However, if she wanted to get money and rights from White family, he knew that in the end Black would suffer and get hurt.

Whenever he thought about his son getting cheated on, he felt extremely uneasy. He didn’t want to see his son be played around. He suddenly felt the need to find someone to investigate this woman named Holley.

“Dad,” Black called when he saw that his father had been quiet for a while.

Black’s voice brought Rex back to reality, and he lowered his eyes. His face looked unreadable.

At that moment, Black felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t guess what Rex had in mind.

‘What if Dad refuses? I won’t give up. Besides, he has never refused any of my requests since I was a child. I’m sure I’ll succeed if I ask sincerely,’ Black thought and encouraged himself.

“Really now?” Rex asked. “Why haven’t you talked about her before then? Maybe you’re just on a whim,” Rex said as he picked up his cup on the table. He slowly took a sip and waited for his son’s answer.

“Dad, I really love her. I want to spend my whole life with her. I can’t bear to see her have so much difficulties. Dad, I beg you. Please help me,” Black pleaded.

He even tugged on Rex’s sleeve and looked at him with sad eyes.

The way Black looked at him made his heart turn soft.

In fact, Black had been quite independent and capable ever since he became an adult. He seldom asked for help from his family.

It had also been a long time since Rex saw his son fully rely on him. He remembered when Black was still in primary school, he would shake his arm to beg him to go with him to a parents’ meeting. No matter how busy Rex was at that time, he would always promise his son that he would go when Black used those begging eyes.

At that moment, Rex’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.

Now, his son had grown to be quite the dashing adult. But today, he came to beg his father for a woman. Different thoughts and emotions suddenly hit Rex’s heart at once.

“Okay,” Rex said. It seemed that no matter what the case, he couldn’t bear to refuse his son’s requests.

“Thank you, Dad!” Black exclaimed. He was so overjoyed that he wrapped his father in a hug.

“You’re an adult now, so stop acting like a three-year-old child. Take your hands off,” Rex said with a laugh. Black did, but he really was thankful that his father decided to help him. When Rex and Black went out of the study, Yvett had already finished preparing dinner.

“What did you talk about that took so long? You can go wash your hands and eat dinner now,” Yvett said and started to set the dinner table. After everyone was ready, they all sat at the table and enjoyed their meals.

It was a simple dinner on a peaceful night, but everyone in the family was happy.

When they were done eating, Rex went to a private corner and called one of his most trusted subordinates, then ordered him to do a background check on Holley.

Meanwhile, Black immediately went to his room after dinner and couldn’t contain his excitement to call Holley.

Soon enough, Holley picked up the phone and Black told her everything that had happened before she could even say a word.

“Hello, Holley. I have great news! You don’t have to worry about being forced by those shareholders anymore. I’ve convinced my father to help you. You know he has Tarsan Corporation’s shares on hand. We can merge our shares together to support you.”

“Really? I… I never expected that. Thank you, Black. And please extend my deepest thanks to your dad. I really don’t know what to do without you,” she said.

However, this was all a pretense. In fact, Holley had already guessed that Black would willingly help her to solve the problem. She just didn’t expect that the good news came so fast.

“It’s just a small thing. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy,” Black said earnestly. He really felt proud when he thought that he helped and protected Holley.

“Thank you so much, Black. I love you.” Holley showed her love directly. “I love you too. Let’s rest early. As for the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow, we’ll see,” Black responded.

They chatted for a bit and said more affectionate words to each other for a while, before they reluctantly hung up the phone.

When the call was done, Holley’s eyes sparkled under the light. She couldn’t wait for tomorrow’s meeting.

At the Tarsan Corporation

The next morning, Holley felt light and worry-free. She happily applied on the perfect makeup look, changed into a formal dress, and arrived at the Tarsan Corporation conference room early.
She knew that many shareholders had waited for her to make a joke out of herself in the meeting in a few minutes, but she believed that today would be different. She was confident that they’ll be blown away in surprise, and her lips curved into a contented smile.
