Chapter 77 Not Me
Lola curled her lips, thinking that if her marriage was exposed, her acting career would soon come to an end! She decided to let it go, for the best way was to keep silent! When the sensation faded away, people would forget about it!
After the lunch, Lola took out her sungla.s.ses from the bag and put them on. But what Harry wanted to do was just to throw them away, for they covered much of her face.
Then, he did so. After giving him a glare, Lola pulled her collar up and covered her face before getting into Harry"s car.
"Lola, move back to the villa." This farce should come to an end! Harry made the order in a calm tone while driving skillfully.
The woman paused and asked, "What about Yolanda?" Her simple question sent Harry into silence for half a minute. "Mother has come here the other day." Rose Mu kicked up a row, when knowing that Yolanda was about to move out, and threatened to break off with him if he drove Yolanda out.
Lola kept silent. Then, why should she go back? She still remembered Yolanda"s dirty trick of slapping her several times under the cover of the plot of the drama!
"Lola, you can ignore her presence!" said Harry in a low tone. He would solve this after all.
The woman responded with a sneer. "Have you heard this - If I am the one you love, I will not fear endless rivals in love? But I am not the one in your heart." muttered she, which cooled the atmosphere in the car.
"How do you know that you are not in my heart?" Harry squeezed that out, gnashing his teeth.
"Isn"t she also in your heart? You are really something!" Lola sneered. Harry looked at her, with an impulse to throttle her. With the skillful steering, Harry pulled over.
"Didn"t I tell you to give me some time?"
The woman looked steadily at his eyes. "Time? How long? Half a lifetime?" asked she in an undisturbed tone, running her fingers through her hair around the ear.
Harry held her face to make her look at him. "No, it won"t be that long." The man"s eyes were full of deep affection, which almost trapped Lola.
"I will go back when you forget all about her!" She stared right into his eyes and slapped his big palms off before opening the door to get out of the car.
After a few steps forward, she caught a taxi back to her apartment.
Harry sat against the back of the seat, gazing at Lola"s receding figure, and was lost in thought that it was time to put an end to all these. What is past is past. Since he had chosen this little woman, he must be responsible to her for a lifetime...
Lola returned to her apartment. Looking at the empty room, she felt her heart empty, too.
At the shooting site.
Yolanda found a less crowded place to check the headline news with her mobile phone, face going gloomy. "He doesn"t give up Lola even though she has been out for so long. Well, I will change his mind!" she thought.
Then she ordered Nael to take action right away and returned to the site with a smile. As ordered, Nael went aside to make phone calls immediately.
While taking a break, Lola checked her Weibo to find many abusive comments against her as expected. They accused her of being the wrecker between Harry and Yolanda and advised her to stay with Mr. President!
But the opinion from another side went that a mistress like her would not deserve the President!
...
She locked the mobile phone and went downstairs to the supermarket for some snacks.
She wrapped her coat closer round her and walked to the supermarket slowly. When she was at the dead spot, a van pa.s.sed by and Lola was nowhere to be seen.
At Waterfront Wharf.
Lola woke up to find herself disheveled, lying on a wharf.
She sat up to pull her coat tighter against the chilly wind from the sea, and looked around on the alert.
She remembered that she was on the way to the supermarket and someone m.u.f.fled her mouth and nose with a handkerchief to make her lose consciousness.
At that time, five or six brawny men with tattoos came over, among whom were Westerners and Africans. She held her breath, and retreated vigilantly.
When two men approached Lola first, she bit her underlip tightly. What would they do? "Why did you kidnap me?"
"Why? You will know soon." replied an African man in fluent Chinese.
The two men lifted Lola and threw her onto a worn-out sofa aside. She withdrew into a corner of the sofa.
At that moment, a woman came in, with her hair and clothes in a slight mess, and looked at Lola with a sneer.
"Yolanda, what the h.e.l.l are you doing?" Seeing Yolanda, Lola got an even worse feeling.
"Lola, I will ruin you in front of Harry!" A man trotted in and said, "Here he comes!"
Yolanda winked to those foreign men, and Lola, in a fog, saw them approach Yolanda.
What just happened?
Then, Yolanda plopped onto the ground and started to cry out. "Help! Lola, what do you want?"
The men started to tear the coat from Yolanda. Lola stood up from the sofa and tried to prevent them.
Yolanda was detestable, indeed, and she would take revenge. But she was not so cruel as to see Yolanda being humiliated by these men in front of her.
"Is the stupid woman trying to save me?" thought Yolanda. At the same time, she continued crying. "Lola, please, let me go! Ah! No!" Lola was rather confused at what Yolanda cried.
"I don"t know these men!" Did Yolanda think she was kidnapped here by Lola? Lola was the one who had been kidnapped!
"Stop it!" said a man swiftly and fiercely in a familiar cold voice.
"Harry, help!" Yolanda cried rather sadly, as if Harry was the only life-saving straw to her.
The scare in Yolanda"s eyes brought him back to the day when Yolanda desperately cried for help in the hotel while he was not by her side.
The men stopped once they saw Harry, and the African man riding on Yolanda turned around to ask, "Miss Li, should we continue?"
...
The homicidal look from Harry made Lola suddenly realize what happened. She was framed up by this woman...
"Harry, not me!" She looked at Harry at once, only to find his eyes glued to Yolanda, which were red out of fury. He didn"t even look at her.
The man hurried to Yolanda and kicked the African man away. The brawny men gathered behind Lola immediately.
"Yolanda, you must be crazy!" Seeing those brawny men hiding behind her like seeking shelter, she got so angry that her hands trembled.
Yolanda was shivering in the arms of Harry, who took off his coat to drape it over her shoulders.
Lola furiously stepped forward to strip off the coat and throw it away in a huff.
