Chapter 316
He really hoped that there would be some kind of evidence to prove her innocence. He still had feelings for her and she's Nicole's mother. But so far, he got nothing...
She cast a scornful glance at him. "Wow. You'll apologize? Harry, even if there is evidence, I couldn't care less about you! You have caused too much pain for me."
How dare he talk to her like nothing happened? If he could ignore her feelings and cause her sufferings, why couldn't she do it to him, too?
Without giving him a chance to speak up, she continued hastily, "The day I clear my name will be the day I dump you for good. It will also be the day when I and Thomas tie the knot!"
She did not need his love. Love without trust will never be worth it! It didn't matter anymore. After all, she was not sure whether Harry was in love with her or not. It was too risky! Whatever! She sneered and rolled her eyes at him.
Harry was so pissed off that he pinched her chin. "Lola, you are reading too much into my words. Don't you ever think that you can run away from me in this life! I can do all things that can hurt you. Remember that." His tone was aggressive and demanding.
"Yuck! You, douchebag! You only want me because you have needs. What else do you want me for? To torture and hurt me? I am not your slave! Be ashamed of yourself!" She glared at him in anger. She would never forgive him for all the traumatic acts he did!
Harry then ended the conversation with the words, "Douchebag I may be, but I will be watching you until the end of your life!"
...
What an unreasonable asshole! Lola covered her head with the quilt to hide her utter frustration.
She wanted to rip the quilt to vent her anger but it was quite tough.
Eventually she calmed down and thought of falling asleep as she was very tired already. Just then, the door was opened by the house maid. She came in with a bag in her hands.
"Miss Newman, Boss Lewis has asked you to change clothes as your daughter is already waiting for you downstairs. "
Lola was awakened by her words. The thought of seeing her daughter always got her so excited. She nodded to the maid and replied: "Sure, thank you."
Ten minutes later
Lola went downstairs and found Nicole waiting for her. The little girl was so delighted upon seeing her that she immediately leaped towards her.
"Mommy!" Her voice was full of joy and glee.
Lola caught her with open arms. The sight of her daughter put a smile back to her face. Nicole was really a stress reliever.
"Nicole, my dear child!" She embraced her warmly as they kissed each other lovingly.
Harry casually sat on the sofa as he watched her two girls.
The smiles on their faces really lit up the ambiance.
He stood up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
He took out his cellphone and quickly dialed a number. "Go and investigate Yolanda for me. Check what she did recently and who has she contacted."
He then ended the call and set out for the dinner he had arranged with Samuel and some other friends.
During the dinner
As Harry was staring at his drink in silence, Samuel exchanged looks with their other friends. Something was clearly bothering him. It was strange.
Eason was the one who first broke the silence. "Harry, I heard that you and Cherry are engaged? Is that true?"
Samuel gave him a stern look. Why on earth would he bring up this topic? They didn't want to upset Harry.
"No." Harry replied with just one simple word. He had already found the culprit. He was bewildered.
Chuck had a sip of his drink and added, "Harry. From my point of view, you are in the wrong here."
Putting down his glass, Harry turned his face to him and encouraged him to continue.
"I don't believe Lola is a vicious woman that she would actually kill someone on her wedding day. Your lack of trust gave her no chance to explain and you found her guilty right there and then." Now, they both suffered from the consequences.
"I did give her my trust!" Harry snapped back in disapproval. He would definitely trust her if only his mother was not involved. He was really at a crossroads with this.
Chuck leaned against the chair back and answered in a casual voice, "Did you actually investigate the whole thing? Why did you jump to a conclusion so fast and found her guilty? How?"
Harry gave him a stern glance as he bottomed up his drink. "What are you saying?"
"I think you are in love with her. But you are loving her in a different way which can be deemed otherwise as not loving her. You have to change your approach with her, man."
"Snap!" The glass hit the table heavily as Harry seethed with anger. How dare they think that I don't love her? Then how come he thought about her every single day?
If he did not love her, why would he even care to offer the best things to her? He did not care about what other people would feel. But how could she not sense his love?
Chuck's words were worrying him. He knew Chuck does not talk nonsense. Harry was confused.
Harry took several big sips of his drink as he stared at Chuck. He was looking for a trace of something.
"Chuck, are you in love with Lola?! Tell me!" He suddenly asked this out of nowhere.
Samuel and Eason could not hold back their laughter when they heard this bizarre question! Harry must have gone crazy!
Chuck, a guy who was so indulged into his career in medicines, would actually fall in love for someone? And for someone who was his friend's lover? No way! He doesn't have time for that! They were utterly speechless.
Chuck, paused from drinking as he was also lost in deep thoughts of his own. Maybe he had some sort of feelings for her. He was confused, too.
Harry felt angry and paranoid as he noticed the look on Chuck's face. He stood up from the chair and walked straight towards Chuck. With a forceful hand, he grasped Chuck by the collar.
Samuel and Eason quickly pacified to ease the situation. They tried to stop the scene by pulling back the agitated Harry.
Chuck fearlessly stared back at Harry and blurted out, "You are reading me way too much as I didn't even admit to anything!"
These words crossed Harry immensely as he raised his fist. Samuel stopped him in time. The four men was causing quite a scene in the dinner lounge.
"Chuck! Are you aware that she is my girl?" Harry's look was terrifying. He glared at Chuck as they grappled with each other.
Chuck laughed. "To be honest, Harry. She is no longer your girl, isn't she?" His look was so serious that it was hard to tell whether he was bluffing or not. He intended to look like this to provoke Harry even more.
Harry sneered as he grasped Chuck's collar harder: "But she was still with me earlier today."
Chuck daringly fought back as he shouted, "If you really love her, why would you even care about other women? I believe she is with you because she is forced to."
These words were the last straw. Harry totally lost his cool as he punched Chuck really hard on the face. The force was so strong that Chuck's face turned to the other side.
Without any hesitation, Chuck sprang up and fought back with all his strength. Even though Samuel and Eason tried to pull them away, the two was still caught up in a heated fight.
They could do nothing but watch them roll on the ground with their fists flying all over the place.
They had been best friends for over a decade and now they were throwing punching towards each other because of a girl!
Eventually, the fight came to an end as they were both exhausted. Their faces looked horrible as blood was dripping down to their cheeks.
Harry didn't bear much of the brunt. Chuck ended up with more bruises. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He had a blacked eye on his heavily bruised face.
Harry moved towards the table, searching for more alcohol. He gulped down the remaining of his drink and threw back the empty glass heavily on the table. He was entirely out of control.
He thought that Lola has hooked up with his friend!
Sitting on the ground with his back against the sofa, Chuck opened his mouth provocatively again. "You'd better treat her well. Otherwise, she would leave you for good!"
Harry's anger was triggered more. On hearing the words, he dashed towards Chuck with full force. Eason and Samuel had to throw themselves in front of him to stop the madness.
"Harry, stop it! I will call Joey to get you home." Samuel took out his phone and dialed Joey's number.
Harry stood up from the ground and straightened his shirt. With a ferocious glare, he said to Chuck, "Forget about Lola! If you want women, I can send you dozens of beautiful girls. Even if you want to have international movie stars, I can send them to your bed. But as for Lola, Chuck, don't you even think about it!"
Chuck scornfully glared back and answered, "She almost died twice because of you. She even had a child with you. You are such an idiot to believe she is a murderer. How did you even become a business tycoon with such a dumb brain of yours! Man up, Harry!"
