But he knew the check carried Harry's blessings, so he just accepted it. "Harry, I will help you persuade and talk to my sister." He was such a good man. Only his sister was good enough for him, Joseph determined.

Harry nodded then Joseph returned to his room.

He knocked on Lola's door. "Come in." Lola was casually playing with her phone. Thanks to the room's sound-proof structure, she didn't hear both men's conversation outside.

She thought the one knocking on the door was a relative, so she let him inside directly.

At the sight of this tall familiar figure, Lola was unable to believe what she just saw. She rubbed her eyes, blinked, then become certain that the man was indeed Harry.

No wonder she heard the sound of a plane in their yard.

"Who let you in? Get out of my house now!" She shouted at him rudely. To a scum, there was no such a thing as politeness.

Harry closed the door, walked to her bed, and sat beside her.

"I am here to explain why I got hurt." He held Lola's hands, but she just shook it off.

To prevent him from touching her again, Lola covered herself with her quilt. She shouted, "Get out. I don't want to hear your explanation. Don't talk to me anymore."

Harry put his hand on the quilt, then leaned forward. "Honey... Please." He whispered sweetly in her ears.

His breath nearly paralyzed Lola. She felt like she was floating on air, so soft and feeble.

"If you are unhappy..."

"What I feel is none of your business. Get out now. Or I will get someone here to drag you away." She turned back, and stared at him. She won't yield to him again.

"You can't be mad at me. If you are too mad to come back, the beautiful clothes I bought for you will just gather dust in the closet." He looked at her angry look with affection. There was not a slightest hint of impatience in his expression.

It's good that Lola was mad at this. If she was not angry, he would be worried. It would mean that she doesn't love him anymore. Her husband was injured for saving another woman. Of course she would be angry! Of course she was jealous.

The clothes? What beautiful clothes? "Just give them to your Cherry. Why do you need to tell me that?" She blurted out with cold eyes. That stuff must be prepared for Cherry, Lola thought to herself. She did not want to have anything to do with Harry.

Harry moved even closer and kissed her. "They are prepared for you. Only for you."

Lola pushed him aside, lifted the quilt, then got off the bed.

She held Harry's hand and said, "Come on. I will take you to a good place." Seeing Lola's smirk, Harry knew she couldn't be trusted. She would do something really bad.

But he just let her lead him to the door.

At the doorstep, Lola pushed Harry. When he was out of the door, she immediately lost hold of him.

"Bam!" She slammed the door and locked it up.

Harry looked at the closed door helplessly from outside.

He called her again and again. But she just hung it up over and over again.

That left him no choice but to go out of the Newman family's villa for the meantime.

For the next several days, no matter how many times Harry called her, she never answered.

Lola was strolling along the road when she hung up Harry's call again. She had decided not to hear his explanation.

She didn't drive her car today. At lunch time, she walked to the road, and tried to hail a taxi home.

It was rush hour now. She tried to take a cab several times but failed. So she could only walk forward. She had no choice.

Michelle was just driving a beat-up second-hand Volkswagen to her father's last villa to teach that third wheeler a lesson.

At that moment, she saw a familiar figure----Lola. "That bitch pulled me down so hard that I could only afford to rent a second-hand house. But that bitch still lives affluently with high-end purses in hand. It is unfair!" She thought.

Instantly, she became overwhelmed with jealousy. She accelerated the car toward Lola----she would kill that bitch!

Several seconds before proceeding with what she planned to do, she suddenly remembered her mother's plea, "Don't try to kill her. Mother has lost your dad already. I don't want you to end up like your father."

With that in mind, she put a foot on the break and swerved. But it was too late. The car hit Lola.

Lola was just thinking about how to deal with Harry. Suddenly, a fit of pain spread all over her body. What just happened?

With the braking noise of the car, she rolled over several times, and then sprawled on the concrete.

Fuck! Who was driving so carelessly? It hurt so much.

Spotting the accident ahead, many cars steered to other lanes.

Lola didn't know how much she had been wounded. She tried to sit up, but her left arm was already numb with pain.

She could only sit up with the support of her right arm.

She saw the panicking Michelle inside the car. Then she knew who the culprit was.

Michelle deeply regretted the minute she hit Lola. She was trembling when she took out her phone then called 911.

She hoped Lola was okay. If not, she knew she would be imprisoned.

After telling the spot where the incident happened, she drove away.

Lola slowly stood up, her clothes in rags, her body chafed.

She dragged herself to the roadside, picked up her purse and was just planning to call 911 when she heard the ambulance coming over.
