All Chapters of Mr. Holt, You Are My Ineffable Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Holly took ten minutes to clear her head. She took a deep breath and patted her face to reorganize her thoughts before getting into the elevator.Quincy and Sean had left earlier. She was now the only one there.A huge mirror was installed in the elevator and as she looked at it, she saw a blush seared on her cheeks. She felt awkward, glancing away while attempting to hide her embarrassment.Ding!The elevator stopped as she calmed down and walked to her department. Everyone in the legal department was high in spirits ever since they won the case. There had not been any major cases recently, they were mostly minor quarreling and fighting ones that could be handled efficiently by anyone.Holly sat at her desk daydreaming for the entire morning until Ginger placed a stack of files in front of her.“Miss Shaw, these documents need to be sorted out today,” Ginger said in a polite manner. She was unquestionably loyal to Holly.Holly nodded. She was just about to look through the docu

Serene quickly explained and remained quiet after that.Holly nodded as she passed the dress to the shopkeeper to pack into a bag.They both walked a little longer, and Serene bought a pink dress for herself before happily walking out of the mall.“Holly, I’m heading back to the hospital. Don’t forget what I told you. Wear that dress, it really suits you,” Serene said before waving a taxi down.Holly stood there and looked at the dress in the bag. There were not many people who knew she was married.The only one who knew was Whitney, but she had gone abroad and the Knight family were strictly guarding her so it was impossible for her to tell anyone.How had Serene known about it since she had stopped talking to their previous group of friends?Holly had her doubts. She wanted to make a call but realized her phone was missing. She quickly returned to the mall to look for it. She bumped into another woman as she was walking in a hurry, causing their bags to scatter to the floor.

“You’re not in a good mood because my brother went abroad?” Simon continued to tease Holly.Holly pushed his face away. “Seems like you know him well.”Simon’s eyes flashed dismally but he quickly smiled again. “I just happened to know.”Both of them went inside. The hall was beautifully decorated and most of the guests had already sat down at their tables where exquisite delicacies were served.Simon sat next to Holly, occasionally gazing at her face. Everyone gathered in the hall tonight was of high status. Many guests had already known about Holly due to what had happened in the Thomas family. Quite a number of them nodded and greeted her.It just so happened that Holly’s seat was arranged to be next to the woman she had bumped into during the day and that woman was wearing her red dress.She was stunned, but there were too many people so she kept quiet.Although that woman’s attitude was questionable, there was no reason to extort a dress from her. That woman had probably

She could only hold back her urge and sat still, thinking that she could have a talk with that girl later to get the dress back.The host had almost reached the bottom of the list. Everyone in the hall looked in Holly’s direction. If they had not heard wrongly, had Holly not made any donations?Did she attend tonight’s party to sponge off the food?Although she had the Holt family to support her, she was still a commoner that might not be gradually accepted by them.Some who recognized Holly started to whisper among themselves, their gazes fixed on her.Holly frowned and looked at Simon who was sitting beside her. “What are they discussing?”“Sister-in-law, did my brother remind you to place a donation in front of the entrance when you attended this charity party? There’s a person who is in charge of receiving the items.”Holly had no idea about this at all. She had seen many reporters at the front entrance and did not want to be amongst the crowd. Because of that, she took the

“Sister-in-law, your driver is here.”Simon noticed Holly was not looking well, so he gently pushed her shoulder.Holly regained her focus and turned her head around. Her driver had came to look for her since he had not seen her walk out of the hotel and was starting to get worried.She did not stay for long and left from the back entrance in a hurry.She thought about many things after getting into the car, her fingertips trembling.She did not connect the incident to Serene at first since it seemed far too outrageous. She could not recall there being any hatred between her and Serene until her phone rang. It was from Ginger.“Miss Shaw, do you recognize Serene Lund? Can you send a photo of her to me?”Holly did not hesitate to do so. She quickly searched for a photo of her from their University group and sent it to her.It did not take long for Ginger to reply.“This was the woman who saved me. Miss Shaw, please be careful. She is very dangerous.”She accidentally saw the c

Serene started smashing things the moment she heard the news at the hospital. The one she wanted to destroy was Holly Shaw, so how did it turn out to be some other woman!B*tch! B*tch!!!She panted and tightly clenched her fists. Frustration was written all over her face.The floor was a mess and the nurse who was in charge of caring for her stood outside her room as she did not dare to enter.Serene slowly shut her eyes and waited until she had calmed down, then she pressed the nurse call button.The nurse was already used to the messy scene. She quickly cleaned up everything and left.Serene stared at the ceiling, tears welling up in the corner of her eyes. She wanted to cry.How could Holly Shaw always be so lucky? The plan was perfect. She put a lot of effort into executing it. However, that woman came out unscathed in the end.All her effort turned into a joke!She had no pity for the girl who had jumped off the building. She was only a dumb*ass who got in the way. Anyone

Quincy had never said that before because he knew clearly that after two years, their relationship would end.He lowered his eyes, quietly staring at the hand that was grabbing his.Holly held him tightly as if she was really afraid of losing him.Quincy bit his lips and sat beside her.There was a man in Holly’s heart. It was a secret he could not touch and did not want to know either.He reached out his hand and tucked her blanket for her. His gaze was gentle.He bent over and at that moment, he was so close to her face that he could feel his breath being exhaled onto her face.He had a thought for a moment, but Holly woke up just then. The couple remained silent and looked at each other.Holly’s vision was a bit blurry then, but when she realized they were in an ambiguous position, her face turned red and she looked away to take her eyes off him.Quincy slowly got up. He did not explain himself but said, “The drips are finished, please rest early.”Holly covered half of he

The warmth inside the blanket increased. Holly opened a small opening to let the air flow. The corner of her mouth lifted up unconsciously when she thought of him.Quincy went back to his own room. He took off his vest and went into the bathroom for a shower.He looked at the mirror as he wiped his hair with a dry towel. He tried his best to suppress his emotion, but a trace of happiness could be seen from his brows.It was 3am when Quincy was done drying his hair. He quickly fell asleep after laying down in bed, unable to stay awake any longer.He had never slept in before, but it was 9 am in the morning and he had still not woken up yet.Sean hesitated and walked in circles outside his room. The chairman would never wake up late, but what had happened today?When he wanted to knock on the door, Holly came out from the room.Sean’s expression froze. Holly walked out from the chairman's room, they…Holly was afraid he had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, “I had just gon

Quincy was standing in front of a French window in his bedroom, his mood dark.“You haven’t found anything from the investigation yet?”Sean returned to his normal self. He lowered his head slightly to be polite. “Chairman, there seems to be no traces left behind. However, I have my suspicions.”Quincy had announced to the public that he was recuperating. Naturally, the person who was staying in the hospital abroad was his replacement.There were a group of people who had snuck into the hospital recently, the replacement shot and almost killed. The reason he went abroad was because of this. Those people were too smart, and they could not find anything from the scene.They were so eager to confirm the replacement’s identity. It looked like his uncles were getting impatient.There was hostility in his eyes as the corner of his mouth curved in a cold manner. “If they’re the culprit, then let them be for a while. Grandpa is old, so losing a family member would be a great shock to him

The old lady was in a deep sleep, her aged skin dried out like tree bark, drooping down layer by layer. All these years, she had been through a lot of pain and struggled with different illnesses as she turned older. Holly stayed by her side till late in the night, chit-chatting with the old lady as they made the most out of the remaining time since they knew no operation was 100% safe. By 9pm, her phone rang. When she saw it was Quincy calling, she hesitated before she answered the call with her lips pursed, “Hello?”“Where are you? I’ll pick you up.” Quincy had just finished his meeting and had time to spare.Holly frowned with the thought that he was doing this for the sake of his duty. “Darling, you really don’t have to do this for me. I’m already grateful that you’re letting me have the title of Mrs. Holt.”She was being honest with him. Quincy had helped her enough and she could not have asked for more. Since the end date of their marriage was already written in contract, s
