Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 212

With a happy gaze, Lola kissed her daughter on the cheeks again. After greeting and doing the usual small talk with her parents and grandfather, she hurriedly sat on the sofa. "Nicole, how is everything going in school? Are you having fun with your teacher and classmates? Do you listen to what your teacher says? Are you a good girl in school?", Lola asked, obviously missing her daughter so much.

Angie remembered something and her look became somewhat strange. She heard Nicole said," Mommy, I have hit a boy because he lifted my skirt. You told me once that boys should not lift girls' skirt. It's not good, right?" Nicole complained in a very angry tone.

Hearing Nicole voice out a complain made Lola shudder a bit. Her baby girl was surely growing up now. Lola looked intently at her daughter and replied, "Are you hurt, did he hit you back?"

"How dare he do this to my daughter? He should be hit in the face too!" Lola thought.

Nicole chuckled and laughed. "Oh, I'm fine. But I did bite him!"

She looked at her laughing daughter and shook her hand. "But next time it happens again, you should tell the teacher so the boy will stop. Okay?"

Angie was listening to her granddaughter's recount of the day and was very amused. Looking at his elder brother and imagining what happened, Lola grinned and said, "Brother, you are so powerful!"

Angie stared at her daughter and interrupted, "What do you mean by being powerful? It was him who should deal with that and not make any trouble! It's time to marry your friend so as to control him."

All of a sudden, Angie took out a piece of paper from the drawer and passed it to Lola. "Look, select one of the dates from these three!"

Asking Lola to choose the date? Really? Lola looked back at her brother. Jordan said in a very calm tone, "I'm OK with these three days. No worries."

...

Lola have been worrying about this wedding for some time. Would Wendy be happy if she marry Lola's brother? Jordan did not want to show his emotions and was a bit conservative.

"Brother, Wendy is my best girlfriend. Could you be more concerned about your wedding and be more active in preparing for it?"

Jordan abruptly picked the paper from Lola's hand and said, "Then, that's the date!" He selected the date in the middle.

Lola counted the days. It would be just within the month.

"The wedding ceremony will be prepared and organized by mother. I will volunteer to be the one taking pictures. That will do, I guess." Lola thought.

Landon began to protest, "Lola, I think we should think through your business first. There's a lot going on in this city these days."

Almost everyone knew what happened to his granddaughter. He could not understand why young people are so high-profile and outgoing.

Patting Nicole's cute little hand, Lola replied, "I needed to do it and I wanted to prove to the world that I am not to blame and that I'm saying the truth. I have no regrets. For Nicole, I would not let Harry go!"

Angie thought for a while after hearing that, and warned Lola. "Rose is not an easy-going woman. I won't agree that she will be your mother-in-law! That woman is crazy!"

Rose was a very aggressive woman who always got what she wanted. Lola would just be bullied if she married Harry.

Landon couldn't agree more for he had met Rose several times already. He thought his granddaughter would just be a rag being crumpled and put dirt on if she married Harry. He should not let this marriage happen.

"Mother, Rose was cruel to me because of Yolanda! Now that she knows the truth, maybe she would change." If Rose knew she had a granddaughter, she would be happy!

Angie saw that Lola was thinking and immediately decided not to argue anymore. She just warned her. "It's up to you. But tell us when you are in need. We will always support you!"

Lola nodded and remembered that Jenny Shan met her this morning. She took the ring out of her bag and passed it to her grandfather.

"Danny Fang's mother gave it to me and said it would be useful when we search for the secret of this old pocket watch in Mando Bay."

Hearing the mention of the Mando Bay, Jordan frowned and wondered why they should even go to that place.

"Mrs. Fang?" Landon was deep in his thoughts and finally understood.

"Grandfather, what on earth is the secret of the old pocket watch? I am very curious." Lola began to be more and more interested in it. Was there a treasure connected to the secret?

After a second of thought, Landon said, "Your grandmother had once said when she was alive that this watch contains great treasure inherited from her descendants. But it needs an important part of the watch and a picture to open the treasure."

It's a treasure! Fantastic! One day, would she be tasked to go on an adventure and look for it?

"But, I don't want to search for it!" She responded decisively. She didn't want to go there because it was dangerous. It would be worthless to be murdered just because of finding a treasure that they were not sure to be true.

Landon shook his head and looked at her granddaughter seriously. "I wouldn't permit you to look for it before. It was too dangerous. But now, as more and more people knew the secret of the watch, if you give up looking for it and put it to the world, you will be in danger everywhere and every time."

The facts made all the people hush in silence. They were all thinking the same thing. Would that day come?

On the next day, Lola waved goodbye to Nicole, sent her to Jordan's car, and went to work. Once she parked her car in the temporary parking lot, she saw numerous people in the front of the company building. It was an unusual sight.

What had happened?

Someone in the front line of the crowd shouted, "Miss Li is coming! She is here!"

Lola was suddenly surrounded by all the people who were wearing microphones and holding cameras. Yes, they were journalists...

"Miss Li, please do tell us if the photo circulated by Lillian is true. Did that really happen?"

No companies dared to report entertainment news about Harry before. Harry was that influential. "As it is proven that Lillian's office doesn't get into trouble, we dare to interview you today. Did that mean that Harry agrees?"

"Miss Li, what do you want to say about bearing all the negative images from the public all these years?"

"Miss Li, Mr. Si will marry Yolanda. Will you allow that?"

"Was the child who you were with in the amusement park the same child that you and Harry Si gave birth to?"

...

Lola listened to all the questions in a calm outside appearance but her mind was all messed up. All these years, people had seen her in a negative way and had not paid much attention to her. She was not used to this.

Because of Harry's permission especially regarding his actions in Lillian's publishing office, almost all the journalists in the city came today!

If she didn't say a word about what she feels, would she be unfair and unreasonable? Or be so hard to deal with?

She then smiled to one of the cameras and said in a sophisticated and reassuring manner, "Good morning, everyone. We are in the grounds of my company. As an acting CEO, it is not suitable to answer any of your questions about my private life here. We have to maintain our professionalism at all times. Please pay more attention to SL and support the group. Thank you!"

"Miss Li, can I have a second with you for a one-on-one interview?"

"Yes, Miss Li. Although you're not in the entertainment circle anymore, you still have a lot of fans who want to hear from you. Just for them, can I ask you some questions?"

...

In that very moment, a group of guards came to the aid of Lola and helped her find rush through the entrance door. "I apologize but I have been busy with my work recently. If any journalists want to ask me about something, please contact with my assistant, Leo Zhu and he will respond to your questions. Thank you!" With that, Lola stepped into the building with guards on both of her sides.
