The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 1757 It Is None of Your Business!

Holley didn't know what to think. She was scared that Rex had really helped Black take Jason down. If

that was really what happened, she didn't know how Jason had ended up.

"What did you do to him?" Holley asked anxiously.

She lost her composure. She figured if Ferry knew that Black had something to do with Jason's

disappearance, he wouldn't let Black get away with it. Right now, she couldn't help but be scared for

Black.

"Are you seriously worried about Jason? You're really going to tell me that you fell in love with that

rogue?" Holley looked at Black with feigned contempt, for she needed him to leave her alone, or she

didn't know what Ferry would do to him. Black felt as if a dagger had pierced through his heart when he

saw the look on Holley's face.

Holley felt uncomfortable under Black's gaze. She blinked her eyes repeatedly, adjusted herself, and

said, "Yes, I do love him. I want to marry him. What the fuck did you do to him? Tell me where he is

right now!"

"Holley, we're meant to be! I love you so much! Why don't you feel the same way?" Black implored. He

almost lost it when Holley didn't say anything. He approached Holley and grabbed her arm, holding it

tightly.

Holley hated having to lie to Black but she had no choice. She took a deep breath and said, "But I don't

love you. I love Jason. He's the one I want to marry. Why can't you understand that?"

"I know you're just being forced into that. Jason forced you to marry him, right?" Black loosened his grip

on Holley. He smiled before continuing, "I already dealt with that. You don't have to worry about that

anymore. You can relax. No one's going to blackmail you anymore."

"What?" Holley was shocked to hear this so she asked, "What did you do to Jason?"

"Don't worry. He's still alive," Black answered, a little displeased. He felt jealous upon seeing how

anxious Holley got. After a pause, he said, "I wrote him a check. A big fat check. He agreed to walk

away, so you don't have to deal with him anymore."

"That's all? Really?" Holley doubted. She couldn't believe Jason could be bought that easily. She

thought Ferry was a cruel man, who didn't care for betrayal, and Jason was supposed to be loyal to

Ferry. She knew Ferry wouldn't let Jason go that easily, and she figured Jason had to know that too.

Ferry was merciless. He destroyed anyone who got in his way.

"That's all. I'm not lying," Black said sternly when he saw that Holley was getting suspicious.

Holley was scared. She feared that this would lead to more problems, and that Ferry would direct his

anger towards someone else like Black.

Holley didn't even want to think what would happen if Ferry really did get angry.

She recalled how Ferry had punished her before. She still hadn't gotten over the trauma of that. She

was tortured, and she was so scared. Up until now, she panicked every time she recalled that

experience. She didn't want that to happen to Black. She frowned and raised her voice, "Get out!"

"Holley…" Black felt helpless. He wanted to grab Holley's hand but decided against it when he saw the

look on her face.

'Why does she love Jason so much?'

Black's head was throbbing now.

"I'm asking you to leave. What's so hard to understand about that?" Holley shouted again.

"No, I'm not going anywhere. Jason isn't worthy of your love. He doesn't even love you. You know his Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

heart belongs to someone else. Why can't you just let him go? Tell me, who's forcing you to do all

this?" Black was unable to hide his feelings anymore.

"It's none of your business. I don't need you meddling in my business. Just leave!" Holley glared at

Black before turning to leave. She headed for her car, desperate to get out of there.

Holley got into her car and immediately started the engine. Just as she was about to step on the gas

pedal, a figure suddenly blocked her way.

Holley was taken by surprise. When she focused her eyes, she saw that it was Black. He was staring at

Holley.

"What are you doing? Get out of my way!" Holley rolled down her window and poked her head out to

shout at Black.

"I'm not leaving! If you want to go, then you're going to have to go through me," Black yelled back. His

voice was trembling, and he looked desperate. At the moment, Holley could tell he was going crazy.

Holley scowled at Black. She was so annoyed, but she didn't know what to do.

For a while, Black and Holley were just looking at each other in silence.

Suddenly, a group of people dressed in black appeared out of nowhere.

Black was alarmed as they approached him. Before he could say anything, they took both of Black's

arms by force.

"Who are you? Get your hands off me! How dare you touch me! Don't you know who I am…" Black

roared as he tried to struggle free; however, he was too weak for them. They weren't listening to him as

he protested.

Once they'd fully gotten control of Black, they tried to take him away.

Black was angry by now. He asked again furiously, "What are you doing?" Even though he didn't know

what they wanted, he was glad that they were there for him, not for Holley. He felt a little relieved at the

thought of this.

Upon seeing this, Holley promptly got out of her car and chased them, yelling, "What are you doing?

Stop! Stop!"

Suddenly, one of the men turned upon hearing Holley. He gestured for the rest of the group to leave

first. He was obviously the leader. He looked at Holley, then he said, "Shut up! If you take one more

step, I'm going to kill you!"

Frightened, Holley stopped. She eyed the man from head to toe and thought they must be a group of

gangsters. As soon as she realized this, she got even more scared. Her body started to tremble, and

she couldn't get a word out.

The man shot Holley a menacing look before turning to join his group again.

Holley watched as they carried Black away, unable to do anything. She stood still, not knowing what

the hell was going on. She wondered who could be behind all this.

As she racked her mind, something occurred to her. 'Could this be Ferry's doing? Did he already find

out what Black had done to Jason? Did he send his men so they could take Black away?'

Upon realizing this, Holley was taken aback. If what she had assumed was true, she didn't want to

think what Ferry would do to Black.

Even though Holley wasn't sure yet if this really was the truth, she still couldn't help but feel scared.

She quivered in fear and beads of sweat started to roll down her forehead.

When she came back to her senses, she already heard a car starting its engine. She figured that was

probably where they had taken Black. Wasting no time, she turned and rushed back to her car. She

slammed on the gas and sped off to chase the car.

She couldn't afford to let anything happen to Black as she knew Rex would blame her and make her life

miserable.

Holley tried her best to tail the car ahead.

But after a few intersections, Holley lost track of her target.

Holley felt frustrated and she helplessly slammed her hands on the steering wheel. She didn't know

what to do now. After a pause, she decided to call Rex.

She could only turn to Rex for help. Even if Rex didn't exactly have the best relationship with Black

right now, she knew he wouldn't let anything happen to his son.

If Rex got involved, Ferry would falter. Ferry wouldn't dare do anything to Black so Black would be safe.

"Hello, Uncle Rex. It's me, Holley," Holley said as soon as Rex answered.

"Holley Ye! It's you again!" Rex didn't expect Holley would have the nerve to call him. He immediately

got mad upon hearing her voice. He continued, "How dare you call me!"

"Uncle Rex. Please, listen to me. It's urgent! I need your help…No, Black, your son, needs your help.

Go and save him, please!" Holley stammered. She was so anxious right now.

She knew Rex didn't have any patience with her. She knew Rex hated her, so she got straight to the

point.

"That's none of your business! What does that have to do with you? I told you to stay away from my

son. I warned you so many times. How dare you not follow my orders!" Rex barked.
