No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love
Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Thomas lovingly tossed her loose hair behind her ears and smiled. "How about treating me to dinnersome other day to thank me?" He didn't expect her to say yes.

To his pleasant surprise, Lola abruptly nodded without any hesitation. "Oh, no problem. It's on me!" Shereally wanted to thank him properly. What he did for her earlier was heroic.

For the first time, Thomas had experienced the feeling of being flattered. He felt more than ever that heneeded to guard and protect her.

"Go home and rest early. You work too hard. You should look after yourself, too." He said in a softvoice. He knew that as an acting CEO of the SL Group, Lola was very devoted to her work. He hopedto be of help to her.

She agreed. With a friendly smile, she put on the coat and sat in Joseph's car.

"I will have the coat washed and sent to you by tomorrow. Thank you for this." She turned around toface him and promised him that.

Thomas nodded. With a humorous tone, he said, "Hey, you need to deliver the coat by yourself!"

Lola replied with a grin and the car drove off.

Thomas saw them rush off and returned to his own car. His driver greeted him and they took off fromthe parking lot.

But as soon as Thomas's car disappeared in the distance, Lola's car returned.

She almost forgot that she urgently needed to see Harry and discuss about Nicole! She stepped out ofthe car and looked around. She soon spotted Harry's car in the parking lot.

Not far from here, Harry and Lillian were actually walking towards her direction.

"Harry!" Lola called out as she ran towards them.

He heard her voice and looked up. Lola was wearing a suit coat and a pair of high heels. It was noteasy to wear the stiletto heels. Lola was cautious while running.

Lillian cast a quick glance at Harry. Without saying anything, she sat into the car first. She does notneed any permission for this. This was for her daughter.

Harry had mixed feelings about this. He sat in the car with Lillian and pretended that he did not careabout Lola.

He ruthlessly closed the car door in her face. Only half of the car window was left open.

Lola leaned against the window. As she was gasping for air, she hurriedly asked, "Harry, where isNicole?"

"She's not here." Leaning against the seat, he replied with his eyes closed.

Not here? ? ? Lola's eyes widened in anger. Her voice was shaking, "Why don't you bring her to me?"She snapped at him. His indifference about important matters always made her mad.

Harry opened his eyes. With a cold glance, he replied, "Do you have any other questions? I'm kind ofbusy here."

Lola hit her palms on the car window. She was utterly speechless at Harry's answer. Then she turnedto Lillian and asked, "Lillian, do you love my brother or not? What's the meaning of this? What kind ofwoman are you?" She had no idea what was going on between Joseph and Lillian but she challengedher with the question anyway.

Lillian's face turned pale. She thought about her father's words and then she said with a soft voice, "TellJoseph that I don't love him. The man I want is named... Harry!" She knew what the consequencewould be once she gave her this answer. She didn't want this too. From now on, she had nothing to dowith Joseph and she had officially become the love rival of Lola.

...

Under the dim light, Lola gazed at the couple in utter disbelief. Harry was still in his mysterious-lookingself and Lillian was kind of lost in her thoughts. Both of them really looked strange.

Physically, they were a natural match but both of them have different personalities. She stood aloneoutside of the car like an idiot.

Her heart skipped a beat. Lola felt desperate at that very moment. She felt so alone.

She bitterly curled up her lips. Yolanda was gone but here came Lillian. Why couldn't the universe letboth her and Harry be together? Would that never happen again?

Suddenly, it started to drizzle. Little raindrops hit her and wet her half-dried beautiful long hair.

Finally, she opened her mouth and said with a dry voice, "Harry, just give Nicole back to me... I will letgo of you! Really let go! I... promise! Just give me back my child!"

Time seemed still as the rain became heavier. Lola's makeup began to smear.

Harry's tight fists revealed his true feelings and scornfully replied, "Lola, for the past four years, howhave you been treating me? You kept her as a secret from me. Now you dare to ask her back? Youwish! She is my child, too!"

What did he say? Lola couldn't feel her legs. She was starting to feel really numb. She sat on theground, gazing into the emptiness in front of her. Inside the car, Lillian reassured her, "If I could be withMr. Lewis, I would treat Nicole as my own child."

As her own child? No, she would hate to see that!

"Joey, start the car!" His tone was so cold and emotionless. She has never felt so alone like this before.

Lola watched the limo drive away as her vision began to blur. Out of desperation, she shouted at thetop of her voice: "Harry, I hate you!"

An umbrella appeared over her head. Joseph extended his hand to her. "Sis, let's go home.", he saidso as he helped her get up from the ground. Joseph walked Lola to the car. Each of her step washeavy and remorseful.

Inside the car, they didn't talk at all. Joseph had a vague idea on what had happened. His sister was

heartbroken. He thought the only reason would be that Harry and Lillian decided to be together.

Joseph grinned with bitterness. What a joke! His woman was going to be the new lover of his ex-brother-in-law! That man did not have real emotions. He was absolutely amused...and angered.

The rain was still pouring down when they arrived at the gate of the Newman villa. Lola sadly openedthe car door herself and stumbled to the porch.

Her coat was soaking wet. She opened the door and walked straight inside.

She didn't see anyone downstairs. Her parents might not be back tonight as the weather was reallybad.

She walked upstairs and knocked on her brother's bedroom door. Jordan opened the door.

He immediately knew something was wrong when he saw his sister's pale face and wet hair.

"Hey, are you okay?" He frowned as he noticed her sad look.

"Brother, could Wendy accompany me tonight? Is that okay with you?" Wendy was already in herpajamas. She came to the door and was shocked by Lola's pathetic look.

"Lola, what happened to you? How come you just let the rain soak you? You'll get really sick." She heldLola's cold hands, asking her with a concerned voice.

Joseph made his way to the second floor as well. Jordan looked at his younger brother and wasconfused. Why was he here and what did they do? It all seemed unusual.

Wendy accompanied Lola to her bedroom. The Newman brothers went straight to the study.

Joseph sat in the sofa with a gloomy face as he tried to ignore Jordan's questions.

He was not dodging the questions. He simply didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to feel,either.

His sister was in a mess! He just got out of the plane tonight. All he ever wanted was to sneak backhome quietly.

But his plan was interrupted with Harry's call. He said that his sister needed help and he had organizeda group of strong men. What Joseph needed to do was to go to the hotel with those strong men to savehis sister.

It would be wrong to say that Harry didn't love his sister! How could Harry love someone else? Did hereally love Lillian?

But indeed, he still hurt her in the end...So whose fault was it? He didn't have the answer himself.

Jordan couldn't get him to talk. He smoked one cigarette after another in anxiety.

Finally he lost his patience. With one kick on Joseph's calf, he snapped, "Was it Harry? Come on, tellme now. I'm part of the family too. I deserve to know." He was quite sure it must be him!

Nicole was still in Uthana. Things were getting complicated. His sister was definitely hiding somethingas Nicole was not just staying with Harry for a couple of days! This was getting out of hand...
