Jordan nodded and then turned to his sister: "Lola, could you please come to the study when you're done eating?"

Upon hearing this, Lola quickly finished her congee and wiped her mouth clean. Then she bent over to Nicole, kissing her on her chubby cheeks. "My dear baby, you sit here and eat. Be a good girl. I will talk to your uncle and be back in just a while."

Nicole stared at her and just nodded indifferently.

In the study.

Hearing Lola's footsteps, Jordan took out a pistol from the drawer, looked over at Lola and gave it to her. "Take it and protect yourself. If you come across something that you could not handle, let me know and I'll be there."

Cautiously, Lola quickly put the pistol in her bag. Her previous gun was given to Harry.

"Brother, I'm quite anxious they would find out that you were the one involved in the incident last night." She was getting really worried about the issue.

Jordan took a deep glance at his sister. "It's not an issue anymore. He already took care of it."

"He?", Lola thought to herself. "Harry?"

"Also, the guys in jail confessed that they were sent by someone named Sara." Without hesitation, he shared this information to his sister to stop her from worrying.

Lola let out a bit of a smile and said, "Is this what Harry found out in his investigation?"

Jordan shook his head and explained: "Well, he did say that. But I also have some connections in the police station and it is true that the criminals confessed."

Lola shook her head in disagreement. "Brother, I believe it was not Sara. It was the woman you kicked last night. Her name is Yolanda Mo and she is the ringleader!"

"Such cunning method of clearing off responsibility! They even had the guts to pin the blame on Sara who prostitute herself in D City!", Lola shockingly pondered to herself.

Jordan heard her words and frowned. He had recently heard about Yolanda, an international celebrity, who was also the so-called fiancee of Harry Si.

"I will go and collect the evidence for you."

Lola thought for a while and declined: "No need for that. I can do it. Yolanda and I have a long history of knowing each other. I will try my best to hunt her down myself!" If she could not solve the issue, then she might turn for his help. But for now, she did not want to risk her family by getting them involved.

Jordan looked at his sister who looked determined and calm, then nodded in approval. "If you come across anything, just call me. If I am not available, then call father! Your family will always back you up!"

In a gesture of appreciation, Lola went closer towards her brother and gave him a big hug. "Brother, words could not describe how thankful I am to you."

Jordan's lips curled up as he was rarely pleased like this. He gently pat on her hand and said, "One of my boys drove your car back last night. Now you should hurry to work!"

"Sure thing!" Lola hastily got the car key and ran out of the study. After all, her family was the only thing she could count on! She was already so lucky that her foster parents treated her as their own daughter. Now her birth parents also treat her the same! This is so great!

In SL Group.

Lola entered the building and was at the lobby when her presence was immediately felt by the people around her.

She wore a white top with a black plaid high waist maxi skirt and black high heels which were further emphasized by her long white jacket.

Her eyes were a little bit reddish. Thanks to a thin layer of foundation she put on, she was able to brighten her complexion. However, her eyelashes were curly and long and her soft, red lips were very enticing.

The deputy CEO was known for her high-end fashion taste. However, due to her recent cold expressions, the staff thought she resembled the CEO way too much now...

Some of them forced themselves to understand her well. They believe that the reason for her to look so grumpy was because of the CEO's mother causing quite a scene in the company.

In the meeting room.

Aside from the senior management, both Yolanda and Joseph were present. Lola dismissively looked at Yolanda. After a brief moment of awkward connection, she then glanced away.

Yolanda made her suffer a lot last night. But she bet that Yolanda suffered more from Jordan's kick!

It was indeed the case! "Ahem ahem ahem..." Yolanda turned her back from them, obviously to let out a painful series of coughs.

"Miss Mo, how come you are not feeling well?" Yolanda gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Not feeling well? Thanks to the wrench's brother!"

Last night, she was heavily wounded and could not even walk straight. Luckily for her, Nael came in time and helped her to escape. Otherwise, she would be sent to prison as well!

She put up a fake yet elegant smile: "Miss Li, don't read too much on the situation. This minor cough is not something I cannot easily handle."

Lola sat on her own seat and stared at her. "If you are suffering from just a minor cough, you'd better not hang around outside at night. It would make the cough worse. It would be such a shame if a beautiful being like you dies young!"

A beauty like you dies young...

The senior management were all smart people. They instantly understood the meaning behind their deputy CEO's words.

For a moment, the meeting room was dead quite. Yolanda was so angry that she could not say anything back. Not even one in the senior management dared to break the silence. As far as they know, these two ladies hate each other so much.

"Miss Li, don't you worry even a bit. I am in perfect health!" Under the table, Yolanda clenched her fist in anger.

Pretending not to hear anything, Lola randomly scanned through the documents and no longer paid attention to her.

After some time, Joey opened the door and Harry walked in.

Walking with an air of authority, he cast a glance at the crowd and said, "Today is the last day we work in cooperation with these two celebrities. All the follow-ups are to be done by the end of the day."

Then he carried on, "From now on, your deputy CEO, Miss Li, will be in charge of the morning meetings as I might return to the headquarters in C Country sometime in the future. I hope everyone can demonstrate your talents, as I know how skilled you are. During my time here, I won't miss my chance seeking some real talents!"

Was he implying that he would leave for C Country any day from now?

Lola blankly stared at the documents on the table and thought to herself that under the pressure of time, there was nothing left between them anymore. "No wonder he gave up and decided to leave everything behind…", she muttered to herself.

Gradually, everyone began leaving the meeting room and Joseph casually walked up to his sister who was not in her usual self.

"Sister, don't think too much. We don't know for sure when he will leave!" Joseph knew very well what was on his sister's mind and tried his best to comfort her.

Lola shook her head. Too late, he no longer cared about her...

"Will Yolanda leave for D City soon?" She asked.

Joseph nodded: "She still has an on-going contract with the company over there. So, I think that she must return."

She needed to take advantage of the remaining time. It might be a good chance. But after everything that happened, she doubted whether he would be willing to be close to her again.

"I just have one simple request. Go and send a bunch of baby's breath to Yolanda. Make sure it is delivered to her in person!" She heard that Yolanda hated baby's breath flowers the most. There must be a reason.

Joseph was confused but he called his assistant and ordered a bouquet anyway. He made sure that the bouquet would be delivered to Yolanda in person.

Well, they immediately found out why. The delivery guy delivered a big bunch of baby's breath to Yolanda's studio and chased after her, trying to ask for her signature in the form.

Yolanda did everything to avoid being close to the flowers. However, the delivery guy insisted that she hold the bouquet. He caught her off guard and shoved the flowers in her arms.

Yolanda was sent to the hospital and everyone witnessed the incident.

Harry and Rose immediately went over to the hospital to check on Yolanda. She was in a lot of pain and looked completely ugly with red rashes all over her body.

Yolanda was allergic to baby's breath since a child and she stayed away from embarrassment by keeping it as a secret. Lying on the ward bed and weeping really hard, she angrily accused Lola of the trick.

Harry remorsefully thought of Lola's temper and agreed that this looked like something she would do. He remained silent while Rose cursed her in great anger.

Hearing these hurtful words, Harry became uneasy and unwell. He promptly stood up and was about to leave the room.

"Harry! Where are you going? Yolanda is still sick!" He ignored Rose's words and left the hospital.

"Maybe Yolanda and Lola are just so opposite from each other. This would always spell trouble and conflict between them. What should I do?", Harry said these to himself as went out the hospital door.
