No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love
Chapter 212

Chapter 212

With a happy gaze, Lola kissed her daughter on the cheeks again. After greeting and doing the usualsmall talk with her parents and grandfather, she hurriedly sat on the sofa. "Nicole, how is everythinggoing in school? Are you having fun with your teacher and classmates? Do you listen to what yourteacher says? Are you a good girl in school?", Lola asked, obviously missing her daughter so much.

Angie remembered something and her look became somewhat strange. She heard Nicole said, "Mommy, I have hit a boy because he lifted my skirt. You told me once that boys should not lift girls'skirt. It's not good, right?" Nicole complained in a very angry tone.

Hearing Nicole voice out a complain made Lola shudder a bit. Her baby girl was surely growing up now.Lola looked intently at her daughter and replied, "Are you hurt, did he hit you back?"

"How dare he do this to my daughter? He should be hit in the face too!" Lola thought.

Nicole chuckled and laughed. "Oh, I'm fine. But I did bite him!"

She looked at her laughing daughter and shook her hand. "But next time it happens again, you shouldtell the teacher so the boy will stop. Okay?"

Angie was listening to her granddaughter's recount of the day and was very amused. Looking at hiselder brother and imagining what happened, Lola grinned and said, "Brother, you are so powerful!"

Angie stared at her daughter and interrupted, "What do you mean by being powerful? It was him whoshould deal with that and not make any trouble! It's time to marry your friend so as to control him."

All of a sudden, Angie took out a piece of paper from the drawer and passed it to Lola. "Look, select

one of the dates from these three!"

Asking Lola to choose the date? Really? Lola looked back at her brother. Jordan said in a very calmtone, "I'm OK with these three days. No worries."

...

Lola have been worrying about this wedding for some time. Would Wendy be happy if she marry Lola'sbrother? Jordan did not want to show his emotions and was a bit conservative.

"Brother, Wendy is my best girlfriend. Could you be more concerned about your wedding and be moreactive in preparing for it?"

Jordan abruptly picked the paper from Lola's hand and said, "Then, that's the date!" He selected thedate in the middle.

Lola counted the days. It would be just within the month.

"The wedding ceremony will be prepared and organized by mother. I will volunteer to be the one takingpictures. That will do, I guess." Lola thought.

Landon began to protest, "Lola, I think we should think through your business first. There's a lot goingon in this city these days."

Almost everyone knew what happened to his granddaughter. He could not understand why youngpeople are so high-profile and outgoing. With a happy gaza, Lola kissad har daughtar on tha chaaks again. Aftar graating and doing tha usual

small talk with har parants and grandfathar, sha hurriadly sat on tha sofa. "Nicola, how is avarythinggoing in school? Ara you having fun with your taachar and classmatas? Do you listan to what yourtaachar says? Ara you a good girl in school?", Lola askad, obviously missing har daughtar so much.

Haaring Nicola voica out a complain mada Lola shuddar a bit. Har baby girl was suraly growing up now.Lola lookad intantly at har daughtar and rapliad, "Ara you hurt, did ha hit you back?"

"How dara ha do this to my daughtar? Ha should ba hit in tha faca too!" Lola thought.

Sha lookad at har laughing daughtar and shook har hand. "But naxt tima it happans again, you shouldtall tha taachar so tha boy will stop. Okay?"

Angia was listaning to har granddaughtar's racount of tha day and was vary amusad. Looking at hisaldar brothar and imagining what happanad, Lola grinnad and said, "Brothar, you ara so powarful!"

Angia starad at har daughtar and intarruptad, "What do you maan by baing powarful? It was him whoshould daal with that and not maka any troubla! It's tima to marry your friand so as to control him."

All of a suddan, Angia took out a piaca of papar from tha drawar and passad it to Lola. "Look, salactona of tha datas from thasa thraa!"

Asking Lola to choosa tha data? Raally? Lola lookad back at har brothar. Jordan said in a vary calmtona, "I'm OK with thasa thraa days. No worrias."

...

Lola hava baan worrying about this wadding for soma tima. Would Wandy ba happy if sha marry Lola'sbrothar? Jordan did not want to show his amotions and was a bit consarvativa.

"Brothar, Wandy is my bast girlfriand. Could you ba mora concarnad about your wadding and ba moraactiva in praparing for it?"

Jordan abruptly pickad tha papar from Lola's hand and said, "Than, that's tha data!" Ha salactad thadata in tha middla.

Lola countad tha days. It would ba just within tha month.

"Tha wadding caramony will ba praparad and organizad by mothar. I will voluntaar to ba tha ona takingpicturas. That will do, I guass." Lola thought.

Landon bagan to protast, "Lola, I think wa should think through your businass first. Thara's a lot goingon in this city thasa days."

Almost avaryona knaw what happanad to his granddaughtar. Ha could not undarstand why youngpaopla ara so high-profila and outgoing.

Patting Nicole's cute little hand, Lola replied, "I needed to do it and I wanted to prove to the world that Iam not to blame and that I'm saying the truth. I have no regrets. For Nicole, I would not let Harry go!"

Angie thought for a while after hearing that, and warned Lola. "Rose is not an easy-going woman. Iwon't agree that she will be your mother-in-law! That woman is crazy!"

Rose was a very aggressive woman who always got what she wanted. Lola would just be bullied if shemarried Harry.

Landon couldn't agree more for he had met Rose several times already. He thought his granddaughterwould just be a rag being crumpled and put dirt on if she married Harry. He should not let this marriagehappen.

"Mother, Rose was cruel to me because of Yolanda! Now that she knows the truth, maybe she wouldchange." If Rose knew she had a granddaughter, she would be happy!

Angie saw that Lola was thinking and immediately decided not to argue anymore. She just warned her."It's up to you. But tell us when you are in need. We will always support you!"

Lola nodded and remembered that Jenny met her this morning. She took the ring out of her bag andpassed it to her grandfather.

"Danny's mother gave it to me and said it would be useful when we search for the secret of this old

pocket watch in Mando Bay."

Hearing the mention of the Mando Bay, Jordan frowned and wondered why they should even go to thatplace.

"Mrs. Spencer?" Landon was deep in his thoughts and finally understood.

"Grandfather, what on earth is the secret of the old pocket watch? I am very curious." Lola began to bemore and more interested in it. Was there a treasure connected to the secret?

After a second of thought, Landon said, "Your grandmother had once said when she was alive that thiswatch contains great treasure inherited from her descendants. But it needs an important part of thewatch and a picture to open the treasure."

It's a treasure! Fantastic! One day, would she be tasked to go on an adventure and look for it?

"But, I don't want to search for it!" She responded decisively. She didn't want to go there because it wasdangerous. It would be worthless to be murdered just because of replaceing a treasure that they were notsure to be true.

Landon shook his head and looked at her granddaughter seriously. "I wouldn't permit you to look for itbefore. It was too dangerous. But now, as more and more people knew the secret of the watch, if yougive up looking for it and put it to the world, you will be in danger everywhere and every time."

The facts made all the people hush in silence. They were all thinking the same thing. Would that daycome?

On the next day, Lola waved goodbye to Nicole, sent her to Jordan's car, and went to work. Once sheparked her car in the temporary parking lot, she saw numerous people in the front of the companybuilding. It was an unusual sight.

What had happened?

Someone in the front line of the crowd shouted, "Miss Newman is coming! She is here!"

Lola was suddenly surrounded by all the people who were wearing microphones and holding cameras.Yes, they were journalists...

"Miss Newman, please do tell us if the photo circulated by Lillian is true. Did that really happen?"

No companies dared to report entertainment news about Harry before. Harry was that influential. "As itis proven that Lillian's office doesn't get into trouble, we dare to interview you today. Did that mean thatHarry agrees?"

"Miss Newman, what do you want to say about bearing all the negative images from the public all theseyears?"

"Miss Newman, Mr. Lewis will marry Yolanda. Will you allow that?"

"Was the child who you were with in the amusement park the same child that you and Harry gave birthto?"

...

Lola listened to all the questions in a calm outside appearance but her mind was all messed up. Allthese years, people had seen her in a negative way and had not paid much attention to her. She wasnot used to this.

Because of Harry's permission especially regarding his actions in Lillian's publishing office, almost allthe journalists in the city came today!

If she didn't say a word about what she feels, would she be unfair and unreasonable? Or be so hard todeal with?

She then smiled to one of the cameras and said in a sophisticated and reassuring manner, "Goodmorning, everyone. We are in the grounds of my company. As an acting CEO, it is not suitable toanswer any of your questions about my private life here. We have to maintain our professionalism at alltimes. Please pay more attention to SL and support the group. Thank you!"

"Miss Newman, can I have a second with you for a one-on-one interview?"

"Yes, Miss Newman. Although you're not in the entertainment circle anymore, you still have a lot of fanswho want to hear from you. Just for them, can I ask you some questions?"

...

In that very moment, a group of guards came to the aid of Lola and helped her replace rush through theentrance door. "I apologize but I have been busy with my work recently. If any journalists want to askme about something, please contact with my assistant, Leo and he will respond to your questions.Thank you!" With that, Lola stepped into the building with guards on both of her sides.
