As soon as she hang up the phone, Samuel finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You two are very
interesting and strange! Your ex-wife said just now that she would continue to look for other lawyers
unless you have bought over all the lawyers! That's not possible, though."
Harry didn't say anything when he heard that. Of course, Samuel knew that he was able to do
something like that.
Then Samuel played enthusiastically with Nicole for a moment. Soon after, Harry held her in his arms
and left Samuel's law office.
After hanging up with Samuel, Lola tried her best to refrain from swearing at Harry.
She wouldn't believe that no lawyer could take up her case and help her win it. After all, she was a
wealthy woman, too.
But the truth was, she contacted more than ten lawyers, and her phone was hung up over and over
again when the lawyers knew that the defendant was Harry Si. Harry was that powerful and influential.
Even worse, one of the lawyers asked her before hanging up, "Are you becoming a paranoid? Harry
and your child?"
Ahhhhhhhh!!! Lola wanted to kill that lawyer. What's so wrong with her? Why was everybody taking the
side of Harry?
In the afternoon, someone unexpectedly called and asked her if she was looking for a lawyer. She
really did not expect this as she was already on the verge of giving up.
She immediately answered "yes", and to her surprise, this lawyer agreed to take up her case.
She was really not so sure, so she asked the law office's location and learned that it was in A Country.
She did not wait anymore and quickly went there to check it out.
Although the office was not so big as Samuel's, it was not that small either.
So, the fight for Nicole between Harry and her was about to start. This would really happen!
She never expected that Harry would push her to this situation. If they went to court, it meant they were
enemies already. Maybe, it would never be possible for them to get together anymore. Lola obviously
had mixed feelings about this but when she thought of Nicole, she knew that this was the right thing to
do.
Standing and holding the money in her hands, she felt her heart emotionally bleed when she thought of
this.
After taking a deep breath, she paid off the fare and left the law office with the receipt.
She told her family nothing about this, as she didn't know how to say it without making the whole family
worry about her.
So she chose to hide this from them until the day they find out about it themselves.
Lola sent a message to Harry on WeChat, "Boss Si, see you in court! I'll be ready for you!"
She returned to her office very disappointed as she got no response from Harry. How could he stay
silent with all these happenings? Also, Joshua's issue was clear now. There was a traitor in the design
department and he had stayed hidden by putting the blame on Joshua.
She was collecting the evidences the lawyer asked while she was also handling the business of the
company and its issues. She felt like a robot, and was completely exhausted.
In C Country.
Harry was listening to the lawyer's report on the phone, "... Miss Li has paid off the legal fare, and has
been gathering the evidences..."
He replied flatly, "All you need to do is act on it, and don't be noticed by her."
"Lola, are you serious? Wake up! If I didn't arrange a lawyer for you, who will dare touch your case?
You're just too naive!" Harry thought to himself.
Harry thought of the WeChat message she just sent and his lips curved into a smirk. "See me in court?
Ha! You are really thinking too much.
You like twists and turns like this so I will just ride with you.
Anyway, the result was already written on the wall!
You have to stay in the power of my hand. Even if you want to leave, I will not allow it!" Harry thought.
Looking at the plastic ring in his hand, he threw it into the drawer.
The time had come. He didn't want to spend another day without her anymore.
"Lola, my cutie, wait for me!"
Lola was very busy with the case recently. This period could be regarded as the lowest time in her life.
She never even anticipated that there was a big surprise waiting for her.
Another half month passed, and Lola had already prepared all the materials and evidences the lawyer
asked. Tomorrow would be the court date.
But it seemed a little weird that so far, there was no news about an accusation to such a popular guy
like Harry. It was really unusual that the media had not found out about this.
At the same day, Joseph Li, Jordan Li, Chuck Si, Samuel Shao and Eason Bo all received Harry's
phone call.
When they heard the message about everything that Harry was requesting for them to arrange, Joseph
checked his phone again in disbelief. It was indeed his brother-in-law.
If he did this, what about Lillian? What was she supposed to do? What would she feel?
Harry outguessed his mind, and said simply, "I've made it clear to Lillian. If you help me out this time, I
got good news for you."
A good news that would make the whole Li family happy.
Joseph nodded his head blankly, asked for a leave from the film crew and flew back to A Country.
About 10:00 pm.
Lola returned to her villa wearily. She was really burnt out now. Although the deputy CEO already came
to the company, there were still many things that need her attention and approval.
Jordan saw his exhausted sister when he was walking downstairs to fetch water for Wendy. He worried
so much about Lola as he always saw her very weary. But at the moment, he just thought of Harry's
phone call, and he was comforted at once.
"Lola, go to bed early." There was something strange in his words.
Of course Lola had an idea. She glanced at her brother intently. Maybe he already knew that tomorrow
would be the court date between Harry and her...
Impossible, she didn't even tell anyone, and there was no news about this.
"Oh... OK." But she still nodded and replied in a soft voice. Jordan didn't know about it yet. If he knew,
he wouldn't be so calm like this.
Yes, that was it! Lola persuaded herself and was relieved.
"Where is Wendy?" She went to the stairs and asked Jordan who was busy getting a cup of water.
"In the bedroom." Jordan and Wendy just finished making out. He smiled secretly while he was thinking
of his wife as she asked for water in her hoarse voice.
So in case Lola would visit Wendy now, Jordan added, "She is already asleep."
"Oh... I see." Lola was about to knock at the door, but pulled her hand back after hearing her brother's
words.
Lola had a shower in her own room. She decided to stop thinking and have a good sleep before the
court session opened tomorrow afternoon.
The problem was that she couldn't sleep at all. She still couldn't help bursting into tears while staring at
the ceiling.
She was thinking of Nicole and Harry...
How did they get to this situation? She was so heartbroken. Nobody knew that she loved him so
deeply. There was nothing in this world that she would do just to be in his arms.
But for Nicole, she had to give up on him. Her daughter should be her topmost priority.
The next morning.
As the court session would be opened in the afternoon, Lola went to the company first.
She made up her mind as she stood in the empty and large office. No matter what happened this
afternoon, even if she won the case, she wouldn't stay in SL group anymore...
If she won, she would go to A Country with Nicole, run a coffee shop and have a peaceful life.
If she lost the case... She... She couldn't imagine life without her daughter...
Her tears shed onto the A4 size paper on the desk, as she became so stricken with pain and fear.
Nicole was a part of her, the baby she risked her life for...
She now regretted hiding the truth from Harry. That terrible man! If she could start over again, she
would tell him the whole thing. Maybe they didn't need to be in where they were right now. Only if she
could turn back time...
At 1:00 pm in SL Group, A Country
The media and the reporters had been waiting for a long time at the gates of SL Group. They had been
told that Mr. Si would do something big here.
Something big? The reporters actually didn't know even a bit of it, so they were here to check it out.
Everybody was in for a grand surprise.
