His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1296 Be Away From Home

It meant that the Hu family owned the largest stake in Tarsan Corporation and could hold a general

meeting of shareholders at any time to bring her down, just like how she used to bring Rachel down.

Holley became scared when she realized this. She feared that she would have the same fate as

Rachel. Having received everything she'd wanted and enjoyed the glory, she was unwilling to lose what

she'd gained.

Her only choice seemed to be to win Black's loyalty and get him to give her his stock shares.

She had treated Black coldly for over a week with the excuse that she was busy working. She wanted

to gradually stay away from him. But now she would have to reach out to him again.

"Holley, are you busy again today? I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much. Can I take

you to dinner after you get off work?" Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Black was calling her once again and this time, Holley didn't refuse him as she'd done before.

Attempting to regain the passion she had for him when they had started dating, Holley said, "I've finally

finished my work. I miss you, too, Black. I'll be waiting for you after work."

When evening came, the pair met up. They hugged and kissed and acted like an ordinary couple

deeply in love.

They decided that instead of going out for dinner, Holley would prepare a home-cooked meal. When

they finished eating, Black cleaned up and washed dishes. Eventually, the pair went for a walk in the

garden, hand in hand. As they slowly walked around, Holley felt satisfaction settle deep within her.

Leaning against Black's strong shoulder, she felt a sense of peace and safety.

However, the feeling quickly vanished when she recalled what had happened, including the humiliation

and unfair treatment she had suffered through.

'Sheryl still lives happily with Charles. Why would I have to live with grievance with a fake face?'

Holley's hatred grew even stronger at the thought.

Now, no matter how nice and considerate Black was to her, she couldn't feel anything for him. Her only

wish was for revenge and power. She needed to figure out how to get Rex's stock, as quickly as

possible. If Rex didn't agree, that meant Black in fact controlled nothing useful and would therefore be

unable to get her the stock.

What should she do?

Holley's mind was a mess. She prayed that the Hu Group was under Black's control. This man loved

her so much. It would be so easy for her to take control of his shares.

But Holley had to face Rex. He was a master of trickery and deception, so she would need to be

extremely careful.

What she could do was make sure Black kept loving her. As long as he was devoted to her, Holley

could naturally take his shares of Tarsan Corporation when he someday took over his father's

company.

Meanwhile, Cassie had been waiting impatiently to leave work. When work finally ended, she hurriedly

gathered her things and prepared to leave. But suddenly, she saw Jordan walking toward her.

While she didn't know Jordan very well, she knew that he was Cora's older brother.

Many memorable things had happened the last time they'd met. Jordan had even gotten into a fight

because of her, which made Cassie feel guilty and uneasy in front of him.

Seeing the man walking toward her, she paused awkwardly, wanting to ask him how he was.

Having had a surgery quite recently, Jordan walked very slowly. He carefully made his way toward

Cassie step by step. Behind his glasses, Jordan's eyes were glued to Cassie.

The passion in his eyes was difficult for Cassie to bear, making her even more restless.

"Jordan, how are you feeling?" Cassie greeted him, warmly.

Jordan felt a fuzzy feeling grow inside him as he listened to the beautiful girl asking about his health.

Smiling gently, he replied, "Just the wound hurts. It's no big deal. Thanks."

"Hmm, you had a surgery and should be on bed rest. By the way, make sure your diet is light. Don't eat

anything oily or spicy," Cassie told him unconsciously.

Jordan felt more comfortable after hearing Cassie's words. It seemed that his wound didn't hurt that

much right now.

"Are you going home?" Jordan asked, seeing that Cassie had changed into her "going out" clothes.

Cassie nodded and replied, "Yes. I'm going out once I get ready."

Thinking about going out made her anxious to see Nick. She needed to see him as soon as possible

and perhaps wouldn't have time to go home beforehand.

Jordan closely examined Cassie's expression. Frowning, his face turned from joyful to cloudy. Pushing

his glasses up the bridge of his nose, he smiled faintly and said, "Be safe on the way."

"Okay. Bye." Cassie nodded at Jordan and then hurried away to exit the hospital.

Deciding she didn't have time to go back home, she went directly to Nick's residence.

When she arrived at Nick's apartment, Cassie rang the doorbell. Not hearing any movement from

inside, she rang the doorbell again and continued to wait.

Was Nick not at home? Confused, Cassie reached into her pocket for her cell phone to call Nick.

Suddenly, Nick's neighbor, a young couple, emerged from the apartment next-door. Seeing Cassie, the

woman smiled and greeted her, "Are you Nick's girlfriend?"

Feeling a blush creep onto her face, Cassie smiled. She didn't want to deny it, so she nodded and

asked, "Do you know if he's home?"

"Er, last night when we came back from a walk, we saw Nick carrying a suitcase. It seemed like he was

leaving on a long journey. Perhaps he didn't sleep at home last night," the woman answered.

"Okay. Thank you." Cassie was disappointed but didn't forget to express her thanks.

After the couple had left, Cassie tried to figure out where Nick could possibly be. Had he been away

from home?

Taking out her cell phone again, she hurriedly called Nick.

After a few seconds of ringing, Cassie heard a beep, causing her to frown. Why wasn't Nick answering

the phone?
