Chapter 349
Chapter 349
As Yolanda's cousin, Michelle's daring attempt to lure Harry had thoroughly irritated Lola. She decided to fight back and kick her ass. She was tired of people bullying her.
While people were in the midst of their feasting in the banquet, Lola returned at the middle of the hall with Michelle squirming in her firm grasp. Everybody quickly turned around to check out what was happening.
Michelle was grabbed and pulled to the stage where Harry had stayed a while ago.
She stumbled and went down hard. The hall fell silent at this very uncomfortable scene.
Lola turned on the microphone and boldly spoke up, "Dear colleagues and guests. Today is the SL Group's anniversary celebration. On this special day, I'm going to tell you a joke to cheer you up." Her cold and sarcastic voice drowned out the soft background music.
Calvin made his way to the stage. When he saw his daughter, he knew that something bad had happened.
He immediately sent his guards to take her off the stage.
Lola glanced around the hall, and continued in a dominating tone. "Everybody knows that Harry is my man. No matter what had happened between us, he will always be mine! That's what you need to know."
When she was done, an uproar rose from the guests. The world knew it that Harry had made proposal to her in a dramatic fashion. But it was rumored that Harry's mother was shot dead by Lola. But their
appearance hand in hand today had ended those gossips.
So, either she was his, or he was hers. They were a couple! But what was her purpose to speak it out in public? They couldn't understand it.
Lola noticed their confusion. She smirked and continued, "But this rotten woman, Michelle, the once famous International Queen Yolanda's cousin, was going to be a fucking home wrecker!" Now there were a lot of whispering and gossiping below the stage. Calvin's guards had rushed to the stage, in an attempt to stop her.
Harry stood still with a hand on the table to support him. He exchanged glances with Hans. So Hans signaled his personal guards to help Lola. The two sides faced off coldly on the stage.
Lola ignored what was happening behind her and just continued with her speech. "Tell me, Michelle, as a daughter of the mayor of Vleydon... Is that a decent performance to lure other woman's man? You and your sister are indeed embarrassing your father. You are giving him a good slap on the face! You should be ashamed of yourselves!"
Calvin' face instantly became so pale. He stared at the woman on the stage, and anger rose in his body. He wished he could tear her to pieces right now.
Lola saw his reaction, but she wasn't scared. She wasn't scared of Harry, let alone Calvin.
Today she was going to "slap Harry's face", too.
"Harry, the bastard, who was begging to me to remarry him, couldn't even resist how she flirted with
him. So, I declare today that I'm already breaking up with him!"
By now, the whispering had already become loud discussions.
She peered at Harry, who was standing in the shadow of a dim light near the stage. But she did not see the expressions on his face.
She stepped off the stage, leaving all the guards behind.
She lifted her head, stepped along the path people had cleared for her and rushed to the hotel gates.
To everyone's surprise, Harry followed her, not defiant at all. He tried to hold her hands, but was shaken off.
He tried his best to put a hand on her shoulder, but she wrenched free of his grip again. Everybody was surprised by his behavior. This was really the first time that people had seen him show his emotions.
Everyone had known that Lola was somebody. On the day when she was facing trouble with Rose, both Thomas and Harry took part with her.
On the day of her birthday, a big heart made up of ninety-nine lipsticks appeared at the front of the company gate.
In that evening, birthday blessings showed up on the expensive LED screen and they lasted for five hours and twenty-one minutes. That was really an expensive thing!
Together with those consecutive booming news, including luxury cars, lady killers, diamonds, golden
roses and eye-catching proposal, people now had changed their opinions of her. She was not just a somebody. She was beyond somebody.
Finally, Harry forcefully lifted her up, carried her on the shoulder and left the hall.
"What a good show! Now here we go!" After they left, Julie flung her goblet toward Michelle as she was climbing unsteadily on her feet. Michelle dodged and backed off a step. The goblet dropped right by her feet.
Seeing Julie leaving, Hans followed suit and caught up with her. Without hesitating, he started to have a chat with her.
All staff from the SL Group followed their leaders by throwing their goblets toward the stage.
Michelle froze in shock. If not for the guards, she would had been badly hurt.
Soon after, the SL staff left the hotel. From NôvelDrama.Org.
They were followed by a few peers from other companies. They were impressed by Lola and the SL staff. Then everybody left except Calvin and his men.
Calvin's face was as red as a turkey cock. As a mayor, he had been embarrassingly slapped on the face in public.
Michelle stumbled down the stage, and walked towards her father. She was in tears. Her grief made her father even more upset.
Thwack! He slapped her hard on the face. Michelle stared at her father in disbelief, holding her aching cheek.
She has not been hit by her father before. Never. Whatever she had done wrong, he had never done that to her. He was so loving and tender.
"Stop staring at me like that! You've spoiled everything I'd done for you!" Calvin impatiently pushed his glasses as he stared at his daughter. His canny eyes were filled with so much anger now.
"Father, he already drank the wine. If not for Lola, we could have made it!" she cried. She was gritting her teeth in rage. Hatred filled her eyes.
She wished she could strip Lola and throw her on the street.
"Enough! No more excuses! Go back to the hotel. I don't want to see you right now." He left, leaving her behind. On the way back, he made a good deal of phone calls to reassure his supporters. He didn't want to lose them because of this scandal.
In the SSC Supercars at the parking lot
Lola was pressed hard against the car seat by Harry, and she couldn't move.
"Get away from me!" she hissed in disgust. It was so dark in the car. She could only hear his thick and tight breath. She could not see anything but a silhouette of his figure.
Harry closed his eyes, "Lola, my dear, I was drugged. You're the only one to save me now! I did not
mean to do that!" "I remember it now. I'll make the Peters family pay a hundred times more. I'll have my revenge!" He angrily thought to himself.
