The Substitute Bride

"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 flo

utiously, "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."
