Chapter 317

"Fuck! Do you think I could just believe this right away? I saw it with my own eyes! My mother pointedat her before she died." Harry slammed the glass onto the wall. It fell to the ground and shattered intopieces.

His mother hated Lola. But a dying woman would be honest, right? He knew his mother. She has agood heart, too.

"Stop quarreling, you guys. Harry, the first thing you need to do is to replace out the truth as soon aspossible. Start fresh with this matter and use your logic, not your emotions." Samuel tried to talk themout of fighting. As a lawyer, he was the known pacifist of the group.

Harry himself did not believe that Lola would kill someone, not to mention that the person who wasmurdered was her mother-in-law.

There must be something wrong. The truth must be found out soon. Otherwise, both Harry and Lolawould be in great conflict with this.

Harry sat on a chair. He picked up a bottle of unopened white spirit, opened it, and poured it directlyinto his mouth.

Harry drank a half bottle of it and lighted a cigar, letting himself be intoxicated by the alcohol. His mindwas playing crazy thoughts on him and he wanted to escape from it.

Eason dragged Chuck away and let him sit on the sofa.

It was quiet for a while as none of them spoke a single word.

Harry opened another bottle of spirit and handed it to Chuck. Chuck gratefully took it and started todrink.

"You'd better have no more illusions about Lola. There is only me in her heart. You won't win her. Iguarantee that." Harry was not aware that he said this with a very arrogant tone.

But Chuck did. He continued drinking as if he was just drinking water.

He knew how Harry and Lola loved each other. So he has never showed his affection to Lola. Neverever. He just kept away from her. But he was really hard on himself when he was not able to protect herwhen she jumped off the hospital building.

The truth was if it won't be him who could win Lola's heart, he wished Thomas will. Harry has beenhurting her and he just wanted her to forget him. Why should she take the most difficult path?

Maybe she only accepted Harry as her lover.

Even Chuck himself had no idea if he really loved her.

They seldom met each other. He just occasionally saw her through the television. Because of herconflicts with Harry, Lola has become widely popular. Paparazzi has been all over her and she hasbeen so popular in the social media platforms.

Also, Harry always took her to their gatherings and parties. Whenever he saw her very happy withHarry during those times, Chuck would also feel joyful for her.

He didn't know his feeling for Lola has already deepened until she jumped off the hospital.

He would feel happy for her happiness, and feel bad for her loneliness as well.

Chunk took another sip of the spirit while thinking of this.

"Be good to her. Don't leave me a single chance." Lola never lacked admirers. They were almosteverywhere. Lola and her admirers were often the talk of the town in Dreles.

If Chuck was not a good friend of Harry's, he would have already threw the bottle to his head. That mandidn't deserve such a beautiful and kindhearted girl.

At that very moment, Joey arrived. He took the drunk Harry away from the room.

Samuel got Chuck a designated driver to send him home.

The farce and the fight were finally brought to an end.

Inside the manor

Joey parked the car at the gate of the mansion. He decided to help Harry into the house before he left.He was worried that his boss might faint. He was too drunk.

Harry waved his hand and said, "You just go back. I'm fine." He really seemed okay except for hiswobbly legs and flushed cheeks.

Then Joey left.

Harry took a glance at his watch. It was already past ten. Nicole must have fallen asleep.

What about that woman? Where was she?

He staggered to Nicola's room at the second floor. It was pitch black already.

He turned on the lamp, and saw that the mother and the daughter were cuddling up to each other andwere sleeping so soundly.

He gently kissed his daughter on her cheek and lifted Lola from the bed.

Lola woke up in a daze, but she was immediately aware that she was lifted up by Harry and they werewalking outside the room. She asked warily, "Harry, what are you going to do with me? Please. I'malready tired and sleepy."

How much wine did he drink? She was almost choked to death by the smell of the alcohol.

Harry took her into the room opposite Nicole's and put her on the ground.

"Lola, You are really something!" Aside from Thomas, his good friend also liked her. She has so manyadmirers.

He shouted at her with smelly breath. Lola looked to one side and watched the hanging chair in front ofthe French windows.

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

Harry cornered her to the wall and let her cling to it.

"How much did your coffee shop business lose? Lola, beg me! I'll let go of your coffee shopimmediately. I promise!" He looked down at the face in front of him, as his alcoholic breath sprayed onher face.

Lola frowned and said, "Just go to bed if you're drunk." She pushed him away.

She would never beg this abominable man.

Harry held her arm tightly and pulled her back.

With his hands on the wall, he said to Lola again, "Lola, I say you beg me! Don't refuse me!"

"Why should I beg you? It doesn't matter even if it was to be closed down..." Harry stopped her beforeshe even finished her words.

She didn't want to beg him? But Harry knew that she would eventually give in.

After a long time, Lola stepped on the chair and whispered, "Harry, I... beg you... to let go of my coffeeshop."

He smiled wickedly and threw the clothes in his hand to the ground.

Then he took her back to the bedroom and pushed her over on the bed.

They made love again.

That night, Harry was more gentle than he did several days ago.

Lola felt a bit flattered and didn't know why he suddenly changed. She actually enjoyed it this timearound.

However, she was sent to Ascea the next day.

She stayed at the coffee shop for two days and found that there were more customers.

She let someone inquire what was going on, and the truth was that other coffee shops had restoredtheir drinks to their original prices.

Some were even more expensive than hers.

Was this the benefit of giving in to his desires? He was certainly true to his words.

The days went by peacefully the next few days. Lola just stared blankly to waste away the time or wenthome early to play with her little nephew. That was her everyday routine.

At the SL Group in Uthana

Harry was so busy recently that he couldn't even accompany Nicole for a good meal.

Someone was knocking the office's door. "Come in." Harry responded without lifting his head.

Joey came in with a mobile phone, "Boss." He wanted to say something but stopped and hesitated.

Harry looked up at him and said, "What happened?"

"I'm afraid you would be rather busy in the next few days." He spoke with a tone of caution.

Harry looked at the files piled up in front of him and said, "I'm already very busy. Just tell me."

"There's news from the people we have sent."

Hearing what Joey just said, Harry immediately put down the pen in his hand, raised his head andcarefully observed Joey.

Joey has turned pale, and this put Harry on the alert.

"It's the truth." He has never been so nervous before because this could change his life.

Joey told him what he heard from the other side of the phone. "There is no monitor behind the hotel,and there were only small warehouses. But there is a housing development estate away from the hotel.Our people did a house to house and they found something."

So my journey of winning Lola back started.

"At first, all the people said that they only heard the shot but didn't see anyone. But when our people

were about to give up, a junior high school student just came back from school. He said that he wasreviewing for a test on the balcony of the house that day. He saw everything that happened."
