The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1703 You Deserve A Better Man

Rex, who was on the second floor, heard the noise from downstairs. He called the servant immediately. "My Lord, what can I do for you?"

Had it not been for Black who was up and about, even at the wee hours, the servant might have fallen asleep by now. Hence, she was feeling sleepy. However, she answered the phone as soon as she heard it ringing.

"Did Black just go out?" Rex asked with concern. Black was drunk, and Rex was worried that if he went out in this condition, he might run into some trouble.

"Yes, My Lord. Young Master has just stepped out of the house. Should I tell the driver to follow him?" Even the servant was aware that Black was going to drive the car in a drunken state. Naturally, it was a cause of great concern for Rex.

"Tell the driver to get ready and wait for me on the first floor," Rex commanded before he hung up the phone.

Soon after, he was at the gate of their house. He knew that Black had left the house at this time of the night just because of Holley. Rex wanted to see what the hell that woman was doing.

Every car of the Hu Family had GPS installed in them. Hence it was not difficult for Rex to quickly track down the car. Black's car stopped in Holley's neighborhood, which confirmed Rex's assumption. He frowned, feeling helpless. He could not do much, other than being disappointed at his son.

However, much to his surprise, Black headed into a nearby hotel instead of Holley's residence. This left Rex feeling perplexed. He asked the driver to park the car and entered the hotel.

The person who had sent the message to Black had told him the room number. Hence Black headed straightaway towards the fifth floor without even asking the receptionist.

In the room number 506, when Holley had sent a message to Ferry, she got a reply that said, "Leave the door open." Hence, she had obediently kept the door open all the time. In a short while, she saw a man coming in. Initially, she thought it was Ferry, but as she watched carefully, she found him to be a complete stranger.

"Who are you? Get out of here!" Holley thought someone had mistakenly gone into the wrong room. She glared at him and tried to drive him away.

However, this man curved his lips, and a playful smile flashed on his face. He ignored Holley's words and rushed to her directly.

Holley became completely petrified at such an intimidating gesture and tried with all her might to push the man away and run. But she could not match up with his strength. She kept struggling and gasping in his stranglehold as he hissed into her ears.

"Holley Ye, you'd better be well-behaved and listen to me. Boss told me to come. If you want to die, you can go now. Anyway, I won't stop you." The man looked at Holley with sarcasm as he threatened her. Holley looked into his eyes and her face changed. She was familiar with such an expression. Ferry always liked to look at her in this way. She quivered at the very sight of that look.

As Holley became distracted, the man started to tear off her clothes.

Seeing this, Holley was stunned and struggled again, shouting with panic written on her face, "If you touch me again, I will cry for help!"

"You can cry as much as you want. But then you will be responsible for the consequences." The man glanced at Holley scornfully, as if he was looking at a clown.

Holley was provoked by the man and bit his arm hard. He felt the pain and released her immediately. She seized the chance at once and tried to run out. However, as soon as she reached the door, the man caught her once again.

"I warn you. If you dare to fight back again, I will kill you!" The man looked at Holley with his teeth gritted.

The threat scared Holley to the core. She didn't dare to speak a word, but just goggled at the man, in impotent rage.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Holley was covered in cold sweat by this time. Both of them exchanged a glance, and then the man whispered, "You'd better cooperate with me. Otherwise, if I am in trouble, you will be the next one who gets into trouble."

The man thought that because of Holley making such loud noises, the hotel staff might have gotten alarmed.

Holley noticed the man's cold and unforgiving glare at her. It was clear that she had no other option than to obey him. Hence she forced herself to nod her head.

The man responded with a satisfied nod at Holley and held her in his arms. She frowned as she gasped in the tight and uncomfortable hold of his arms. As she struggled, the man tightened his grip around her. At last, Holley had to cooperate with him.

In no time, they reached the door and the man opened it. At the very first look at the visitor, Holley's face went pale.

She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never imagined that it would be Black who was knocking on the door.

Black stood still on the other side of the door with a mark of disbelief on his face. Until he saw Holley with this man, he kept assuring himself. 'It must be somebody playing a trick. Holley won't do this to me,' he kept repeating in his mind.

Holley looked into Black's eyes with her bloodshot eyes. She wanted to cry but she couldn't. She didn't dare to tell Black the truth. And at the same time, she didn't want him to misunderstand her. Holley made a hard decision under the given situation. Since they couldn't have a happy ending, she decided to break up with Black.

For only one second, Holley feigned a smile on her face and asked Black, "What are you doing here?" "Holley, tell me what on earth has happened?" Black endured the pain as he asked Holley.

Holley smiled indifferently and stretched out her hands, responding casually, "Haven't you seen enough?" "Who is this man?" Black was still not able to believe it. He would rather think it was only his misunderstanding. "He is my boyfriend. Isn't it obvious?" Holley replied calmly to Black without any trace of guilt in her voice. "Why?" Black sounded heartbroken. He still didn't believe that something had happened between Holley and this man.

"Why? Do you ask me? Don't you feel ashamed? I have never liked you from the very beginning. I dated you only because you are the son of the Hu Family. Do you really think that I am in a relationship with you because I love you?" Holley looked at Black scornfully, without any affection in her eyes.

"Honey, this is Rex Hu's son, just a loser. I have pretended in front of him for a long time, but now, I am tired of it." Holley suddenly started to speak to the man standing next to her and put her head on his shoulder.

Their comfort with each other and apparent intimacy confirmed their deep love. But it was hurtful to Black's eyes.

"Really? Sweetheart, you have suffered so much. I bet you deserve a better man. But you have me now and don't need to pretend anymore with anyone else. I will make you live a better life with me than Black." After speaking, the man glanced at Black with disdain and kissed Holley's forehead purposefully.

"Hmm, I know you are better than him. That is why I chose you." She smiled at the man, like a little woman, and then turned to Black, sighing. "Black, we have been dating for a long time now, and I don't want to hide it from you anymore. Just go now. It will harm everyone if you keep bothering me."

Holley said in a serious yet nonchalant tone to prove the point that Black's pursuit was a tiring bore to her. Her face and her body language thoroughly confirmed her annoyance.
