The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1915

They say misery loves company. Sure enough it didn't take long for Isla to bump into someone else she didn't like—Holley.

She saw Holley was with another woman, who was seemingly helping her to walk. Holley was acting like she was a queen. 'How disgusting!' Isla thought to herself.

Holley was in the park and had just finished her conversation with the man she was meeting with. She thought of taking a walk, but she knew that she needed to act as if she was still weak. She couldn't even remember the last time she took a walk. However, she needed to grab this opportunity while Black wasn't around, so she asked the nurse to go on her walk with her.

She didn't expect she'd see Isla.

Isla wasn't like Sheryl, who she could just bully. If she tried to fight Isla, Isla would fight back.

She'd decided that she was just going to ignore Isla.

"What are you up to? Why are you avoiding me?" Isla was angry, and she needed to take it out on someone. She wouldn't miss the chance to take it out on Holley.

"Isla." Holley raised her head, slowly realizing that her attempt to escape had failed. "Long time no see!" she commented.

"Why? Did you miss seeing me?" Isla jeered at her.

'Isla is on Sheryl's side, but what does that have to do with me? Why does she hate me? Is it because I was born out of wedlock? Sheryl and I are sisters, but how come it seems like Sheryl's better than me?' she thought to herself.

"Isla, just stop pretending, okay? Who are you to judge me? Are you a saint?" Holley fought back.

Isla was taken aback as this was the first time that she saw Holley like this. She stared back at Holley, startled, and mouth agape.

"What are you looking at me for? Do you think I'm stupid? You're just mad at me because of Charles and Sheryl's divorce, aren't you? What's your problem then? What did I do wrong?" Holley yelled. She was actually quite puzzled. 'I haven't even seen Sheryl in so long! So what's her problem?' she pondered.

"What does Sheryl have to do with this? Did I say that it had something to do with Sheryl?" Isla frowned, uncertain what Holley was talking about.

Then she thought of what Holley had done in the past.

While she wasn't directly involved in Charles and Sheryl's divorce, she was still instrumental in Leila sabotaging and manipulating their relationship. She was kind of the mastermind behind that.

She had used Leila for her own advantage.

"I don't want to talk to you," Holley spat. 'I know what kind of enemy you are. It's better that I just stay away from you, ' she added in her mind.

"Holley, why are you so scared of me when you had the audacity to fake your own pregnancy? I thought that there was nothing you were afraid of!" Isla wasn't scared to bring up Holley's biggest secret.

"What...What are you talking about?" Holley suddenly turned anxious. She didn't know that someone else, other than Scott knew about that.

"Well, you just confirmed it. I guess I was right." This wasn't originally part of Isla's plan. She just knew what kind of person Holley was. If she brought this up now, Holley would spend all her time trying to defend herself.

Isla, however, was so surprised at herself that she had blurted that out. She regretted it as soon as she said it.

When Holley got into the car, she asked the driver to hurry.

It was only when Isla's figure disappeared in the rear-view mirror that she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The driver quickly noticed that Holley seemed pale. He couldn't help but worry. After all, Black had specifically asked him to take care of and protect Holley when he wasn't around. If anything happened to her, it would be his fault.

"Ms. Ye, are you all right?" the driver asked.

"Yes. I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Holley responded, puzzled.

"Nothing. Are we going home now?"

"Yes. We're going home."

Holley was much more relaxed now. Even though she still had her concerns, she was able to convince herself to not think about it anymore. 'If Isla really knew about my fake pregnancy, why would she wait then? Why would she pretend she didn't know? If she knew, she wouldn't have let me go, ' she thought as a way of persuading herself.

Soon, the car arrived at Holley's house.

"I'm not going anywhere today. You can take a break!" Holley said to the driver. Then she headed upstairs with the nurse.
