The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1833

Holley was lost in thought after she kicked the secretary out of her office. The chances were very faint for her to bag such a big project. Still, there could be some hope if Ferry agreed to help her.

Even though Holley had very little hope of getting help from Ferry, he was the only one she could think of. Hence, she decided to give it a try.

She took out her phone and dialed Ferry's number.

Ferry was taking a rest in his mansion. He just learned about Charles' sudden disappearance from his subordinate in Malaysia. It was not good news for Ferry. It had been a week now that the Malaysian police had been looking for Charles. Yet they could not find any trace of Charles anywhere. Ferry thought that there was little chance of Charles having survived.

He was just basking in this happy thought when his phone rang. He looked at Holley's number flashing on the screen and answered the call immediately. Even before Holley could speak, Ferry blurted, "Did you help Leila to take down the Shining Company?"

"Not yet. But I've come up with a full proof plan to destroy the Shining Company," Holley took a deep breath as she replied to Ferry. She was afraid that Ferry could see through her.

"Oh, really? What is this full proof plan of yours? Tell me. I am eager to know." Ferry became curious to hear about Holley's plan.

"The Shining Company is bidding on a big project right now, in which they have invested most of their money. If I can win this project, the Shining Company would lose a great deal of money, which would lead to a huge crisis in their cash flow." Holley tried to sound confident, yet could not help feeling anxious about making her idea sound convincing enough for Ferry to agree to help her.

After finishing her words, Holley waited with bated breath, as there was complete silence from Ferry's end. After a while, Holley felt Ferry would turn her down. In fact, she was skeptical of being reprimanded by Ferry for making such a proposal. Immediately, she explained anxiously, "If you don't think it's a good idea, I will drop it."

"No, no, no, it's brilliant. The Tarsan Corporation is flush with cash. It's like lifting a finger for you to win that project, isn't it?" Ferry smiled as he spoke to Holley. It seemed that he was fully supportive of Holley.

Holley could barely believe what she heard. She looked at her phone to make sure that she was still connected with Ferry, and that what she had heard was not her daydream. After a while, she asked in hesitation, "Do you really mean that?"

"Sure. You'd better work on this project as soon as possible. If you succeed, maybe you can have a child. Otherwise, I can't even guarantee that you will have your life,"

Ferry said in a menacing voice and waited for Holley's answer.

"I'm pretty confident about it. Leila is working in the Shining Company now. I am sure she can help me. However, I do need some money…" Holley asked Ferry very carefully.

"Call my secretary. That would be my investment in your company-if you succeed this time. However, if you fail, you will owe me that money." Saying this, Ferry blatantly hung up the phone.

He put his phone aside, and his face broke into a vicious grin.

'Holley, you think I don't know what you are up to? I am just waiting to see what game you are trying to play this time.' Holley had become a puppet in Ferry's hands. He enjoyed teasing and torturing her. He could take her life away anytime he wanted. But he felt that teasing and watching her suffer gave him more pleasure.

Holley breathed a great sigh of relief when Ferry supported her idea. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do next.

But almost immediately, her heart sank as Ferry's last words kept echoing in her head. She couldn't imagine the possible outcome if she was unable to keep her words.

Holley gazed ahead with terror in her eyes, and her breathing became faster than normal. After a while, she shook her head, trying to shake off the thought. However, she did not have much time left on her hands. She had to take prompt action.
