The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 208: Holly Sawyer’s Fury

Rose Sawyer was there, disrupting the dynamic between Holly Sawyer and Leo Grant. In Rose Sawyer’s presence, Leo Grant didn’t dare to be too blatant.

After all, they weren’t married yet; they were just boyfriend and girlfriend. He was afraid that if he was too bold with Holly Sawyer, Rose Sawyer might dislike him.

"Oh, having someone cook and someone peel fruit really isn’t bad at all."

Rose Sawyer lay on the sofa in a lazy position, munching on an apple as she spoke.

Hmm, she’d been staying here for two days now. Leo Grant personally prepared breakfast and lunch. Holly Sawyer had to handle lunch by herself, though.

The fruit was peeled and sliced, ready to eat with just a reach of the hand.

Rose Sawyer even thought that if this continued, Holly Sawyer would truly become pampered, turning into someone who can’t do anything by herself.

"You could hire a maid for this sort of thing."

Holly Sawyer shot a glance at Rose Sawyer, feeling a bit displeased with her.

This was clearly the exclusive love Leo Grant showed her, yet Rose Sawyer had to take a share. Given she was her mother, Holly Sawyer couldn’t just kick her out.

"I prefer things for free."

Rose Sawyer said slowly, munching on her apple and watching TV.

She increasingly felt that Leo Grant was a decent son-in-law.

Her daughter was quite lucky to meet such a good man, quite unlike what she had experienced. She felt happy for Holly Sawyer.

"I’ll be leaving soon, continuing my vacation. Don’t look for me during the New Year; celebrate wherever you like."

Rose Sawyer yawned, then went upstairs to pack her things.

Her initial intention of coming was just to see Leo Grant and Holly Sawyer. Now that she’d seen them, she felt assured, so she didn’t want to disturb the couple’s life any longer.

"Huh..."

Holly Sawyer was a bit dumbfounded as she watched Rose Sawyer go upstairs, then went back to eating her snacks.

Whatever.

Soon, Rose Sawyer had everything packed.

"I’m leaving." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Rose Sawyer said as she hoisted her suitcase and headed out.

Holly Sawyer raised an eyebrow, "Really leaving?"

It was unusual for Rose Sawyer to leave so decisively.

Rose Sawyer nodded, "Yes."

She had a lot to do and wanted to continue traveling. Besides eating, there wasn’t much fun staying here.

"Let me drive you."

Holly Sawyer said, ready to find her keys.

"No need, I’ve called a car."

Rose Sawyer shook her head and went out.

She really had called a car; the car was ready, and the tickets were bought.

Arkenfall was chilly; she wanted to go somewhere warm for a vacation, to travel and relax.

"Tsk, seniors really have it easy."

Watching the front door close, Holly Sawyer remarked languidly.

If she could tease Rose Sawyer, she would.

With Rose Sawyer gone, Holly Sawyer lay back on the sofa, continuing to watch TV. Without Rose Sawyer around, it was much quieter.

The phone suddenly rang, and Holly Sawyer frowned at the number, eventually answering the call.

"Okay, I’ll be right over."

After the call, Holly Sawyer’s tone turned serious. She rushed upstairs to change clothes and hurried out the door.

It had been a long time since she’d driven fast, and Holly Sawyer was practically racing on the road at an incredible speed, startling other vehicles nearby.

She even ran through red lights without stopping.

"What’s going on?"

Upon arriving at The Pantheon, Holly Sawyer slammed the car door aggressively, striding inside in anger. The guards attempted to greet her, but they stopped as soon as they began.

As soon as she entered, she threw out that question, looking at Walter Bennett with murder in her eyes.

"Boss..."

Walter Bennett was immediately tense, not daring to look Holly Sawyer in the eyes.

Holly Sawyer’s eyes were terrifying, filled with murderous intent. They were particularly bloodthirsty, making people feel an extreme fear, as if panicking and confused.

Such a look from Holly Sawyer was rare, the last time being six years ago.

Alone, Holly Sawyer had taken down an entire gang by herself. At that time, her eyes seemed to hold nothing but slaughter, incredibly bloodthirsty. Perhaps she didn’t even know what she was doing back then.

The gang was annihilated, and Holly Sawyer disappeared for a long time. They looked everywhere for Holly Sawyer, but it was all in vain.

They had believed Holly Sawyer was gone, preparing a funeral where they placed her clothes and accessories inside the coffin.

Who would have thought Holly Sawyer would suddenly reappear later, alive and well, without a scratch.

Walter Bennett clearly remembered asking Holly Sawyer about that gang, but it seemed she couldn’t recall a thing.

She was confused, seemingly unaware of having done it, with no memory of the event.

Her memory only retained that she’d been seriously injured on a mission and was saved and carefully tended to by someone.

And that was it.

At that time, Holly Sawyer seemed to experience some form of selective amnesia, forgetting the things she’d done.

"Speak up, don’t waste my time with all this dithering."

Holly Sawyer sat down, gripping her glass tightly, veins bulging on her hand, clearly very angry.

"Boss, please calm down and have a glass of water first."

Walter Bennett took a deep breath and carefully poured water for Holly Sawyer, his tone cautious.

If Holly Sawyer got too angry, she’d possibly lose her reasoning, and the following actions might...

"Calm down?"

Holly Sawyer suddenly laughed, raising her eyes to look at Walter Bennett with a smile that was cold and sinister, enough to frighten anyone.

Such eyes...

Walter Bennett took a small step back.

"Someone has the nerve to provoke me, and you tell me to calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?"

"Do they think Holly Sawyer is dead, that I’m useless now?"

Holly Sawyer threw the glass on the ground, shattering it everywhere, her voice cold and bone-chilling.

It wasn’t the usual coldness; it carried a threatening aura, as if the underground souls were out for murder.

"Boss, Diana Curtis hasn’t woken up yet and she might be in critical danger. It was those people at the dock."

Walter Bennett lowered his head to explain the situation.

Diana Curtis had received a mission to pick up a shipment at the dock, the price was already agreed upon, just needed to exchange money for goods.

No one expected those people at the dock to suddenly raise the price. Enraged, Diana Curtis argued with them.

A fight broke out, and Diana Curtis, with less manpower on her side, was at a disadvantage. Nobody expected the other side to have guns, and Diana Curtis got critically shot.

Now Diana Curtis is still undergoing emergency treatment.

"Heh."

Holly Sawyer let out a cold chuckle, clenching her fist tight.

Her people might endure physical harm, but threats to life were unacceptable. If someone wanted her people’s lives, she’d take out their whole family.
