At the Sofitel Five-Star Hotel
The woman dressed in the white strapless evening gown knocked at the door of the adjacent room. Calvin Peters then opened the door from the inside, and said, "Michelle, are you ready?"
Michelle leaned irritated against the door, and replied, "Dad, are we here just for the anniversary?" Wouldn't this degrade her father's status as mayor?
Although Harry was very rich, in the end, he was only another businessman.
Calvin looked at his whiny daughter and let her enter first. "If Lola comes to the party tonight, you must take the cue from me and then decide for yourself what to do. If the relationship between her and Harry looks nice, you have to apologize to her first. I will try to draw her away from Harry and let you seize the best opportunity."
If Harry were his son-in-law, not only would his position be higher, but also his power.
Michelle rolled her eyes, and said, "Dad! That woman put me in jail, and I wouldn't have come out yet if you hadn't spent that large sum of money... Apologize to her? Are you crazy?"
Calvin was annoyed that his daughter didn't understand his thoughts on this matter. "Just listen to my words! If you don't want to be humiliated, seduce Harry and make him fall in love with you!" Were there any men who dislike beautiful women? And besides, his daughter's appearance competed with that of Lola's.
Calvin brooded over it. His position had become unstable since Michelle had been put in prison.
It wasn't just about someone impeaching him because of his daughter; there was someone who also wanted to deprive him of his position.
"It's alright for me to tempt Harry, even though I don't like him. He is, after all, handsome and influential. But as for Lola, I won't let her off that easily." Did she want to apologize? Nonsense! But there would be a chance to have her revenge on Lola!
Calvin stood at the window with his hands behind his back. "Yolanda doesn't have a chance with Harry, and your uncle's company and business are becoming worse and worse. You have to seize the opportunity."
Last time he saw her, Yolanda was in a rather bad mental condition and was staying at home all day long. He couldn't rely on his wife, so in return he had to rely only on his own daughter now.
All knew about Harry and Lola's relationship. However, there were rumors that nowadays they didn't get along with each other too well. So now was the best time for her daughter to get involved in their relationship.
"Dad, that Harry is so hardhearted. Are you sure that I can succeed in tempting him?" Remembering Harry's cold face, Michelle couldn't help but shiver.
Only his power and money comforted her. If she married him, her whole family would then be carefree for centuries.
After looking at the time, Calvin pushed his glasses up his nose, and said, "I trust my daughter will do a
great job! Let's go now! Time's up!"
They left the hotel and then drove to the hotel where the SL group's anniversary party was being held.
At the Soodia Five-Star Hotel
The SL Group's anniversary party was planned to be held here, and Julie had already booked the location one month ago in advance.
Among the people invited were the management team, employees with extraordinary performances, and influential people in the business and political scene.
At six o'clock in the evening, Julie and her assistant, acting as the receptionists, greeted the distinguished guests who were coming through the door in a seemingly endless stream.
When it was past seven o'clock, almost everyone had arrived. However, Joey had already told her that Mr. Lewis would be here tonight.
She just had to wait. She looked at the attendance name list, and found that except for Mr. Lewis, only the mayor of Vleydon and his daughter hadn't arrived yet.
She rubbed her cold arms, cheered herself up and kept on waiting for Mr. Lewis and the mayor.
At half past seven
An SSC stopped steadily in front of the hotel, and Julie looked carefully at it. She then dialed Hans' number immediately. "Mr. Lewis is here!"
The driver's door opened automatically, and a man in a tailor-made dark blue suit stepped out of the car. He had in his feet a pair of new black custom-made shoes, and if you looked closely at them, you could see a faint high-heel mark on them.
His perfect face could've been easily compared with a master's excellent sculpture.
He opened the back seat door with a soft smile on his lips and gently offered his right hand to the woman inside.
The woman's delicate hand then wrapped in the man's large palm. Bending slightly, she stepped out of the limousine on her black heels.
Julie, Hans and a group of executives hurried to greet Harry. "Good evening, Mr. Lewis!" The man nodded slightly to show his satisfaction of their respect.
Lola hid her usual caprice and dissatisfaction, and instead put on a perfect smile while she held on the man's arm.
The man looked tenderly at the small hand in the crook of his and kissed it dotingly.
Lola's face then immediately turned red. She looked at the executives, who were looking down, and felt relieved. Luckily, nobody had seen them.
She would not forgive him.
Harry looked at the executives, turned a stern face, and said, "This is your boss, Miss Newman."
They raised their heads curiously, looking at Lola, who was holding Harry's arm, and understood everything at once. "Good evening, Miss Newman!"
Their CEO and former acting CEO were together again?
Lola's smile then broadened. "Good evening, everyone!"
The man stepped toward the hotel and Lola followed him.
Everyone outside looked the two beautiful people. One was handsome and wealthy, and the other was extremely beautiful and elegant. They really were a perfect couple.
When they appeared arm in arm at the door of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, they caused a sudden stir.
While everyone was amazed by Lola being present there, they were also still wondering if Lola had indeed killed Harry's mother.
"Good evening, Mr. Lewis!"
"Hello, Mr. Lewis!"
… The peoples' greetings came in an endless stream.
Harry nodded in response. Even if the smile on his face was faint, it was not hard to tell that he was in a good mood.
He patted Lola's hand and walked to the stage. And then he gave a brief speech. As the main shareholder, Harry officially introduced Lola to everyone.
When he finished his speech with applause, the door of the hotel opened again. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
It was Calvin, dressed in a suit, and Michelle dressed in a white strapless evening gown, entering the hotel.
"Wow! Who's that woman? Although she's not as beautiful as Miss Newman, she's also a stunner."
"Well, Miss Newman is in a black evening gown, while she is in a white one. Black versus white, they are definitely the focus of the party tonight."
"It seems that they are competing with each other." Julie took a glass of red wine and looked scornfully at Michelle.
Although she was the mayor's daughter, with her plastic surgery face she couldn't be compared with Lola after all.
"Yes, we don't know what happened between Miss Newman and Mr. Lewis, but they came here together, which shows that they are getting along well with each other, " whispered an outstanding employee. Lola was a goddess in her heart.
