Lola was always dazzling. How could he not see her? But he shrank back at the sight of the man by her side.

"Zoe!" A familiar voice came from behind. Of course Zoe knew who it was!

"Lola!" He put on a big smile. It had been four years that they didn't see each other, while she was more attractive than before. Zoe wanted to give her a hug. But he resisted the impulse to do so.

"Zoe, it's really you!" Excited to see her bestie, Lola went up and embraced him.

Zoe stiffened and put his arms around her.

In just half a second, Lola loosened her embrace. Looking at his empty embrace, Zoe felt a sense of loss.

"Why are you here?" The woman flashed a bright smile at him and asked curiously.

"I... To be brief, the cocktail party tonight is held by my father. And I took over from him two years ago." Zoe was in fact the illegitimate son of Johnson Dawson, a commercial giant in Ascea. He found his legitimate son was not to be relied upon. Therefore, he had forced Zoe to take charge of his company a few years ago.

"You're Johnson's son? I've been in Ascea for four years but I've never seen you!" Lola asked curiously. It made no sense. She had been in the business world for three years. They should have come across each other.

Zoe sipped at his red wine with a self-deprecating smile.

"I'm not only a bastard but also a puppet!" The only thing he needed to do was to sit quietly in the CEO office every day. He was an out-and-out puppet that was manipulated by Johnson. He just occupied the post, and everything was decided by Johnson.

"What?" Lola gave him a sad look. "I have been in SL group for three years. Everything is okay." They sat side by side with their back to the party.


"Well, you... are together with him again?" Zoe looked at her cheerless expression. Lola shook her head. Relieved, Zoe clinked his glass against hers for a toast.

They exchanged their contacts. After a quarter of an hour, Harry found them. When he saw the back of a man and a woman, his eyes glowed with coldness!

Noticing someone stood behind, Zoe knew it was Harry and said to Lola instantly, "Your ex-husband is here, I'm off!" Lola was speechless as Zoe ran to another corner of the banquet hall, and Harry came to her.

When she came out from the party, Joey was already gone. Harry drove Lola to the Newman family.

Lola never took her eyes off her phone. The two people were silent all the way to the manor of Newman family.

"Thanks, Boss Lewis, I'm leaving now." Lola saw her home, though she was a little curious how Harry knew she lived here. On second thought, she realized that it was a piece of cake for this shrewd man to find her address—not to mention the Newman family was so famous.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!" Harry said while pulling the woman who was about to get out. She looked back at him in puzzlement.

It was at this time that Lola remembered that her car was still at the company.

"No, I can go to the company by myself." She refused, for she could ask her brother to drive her to work.

With a downcast expression, Harry pulled her into his arms and lowered his head.

The scene in the luxury car was spotted by the man in an incoming military vehicle.

Jordan took a closer look and was sure it was his sister, and the man looked like... Harry? The legend of the business world. Why did his sister stay with him?

However, when he thought of Nicole, who actually looked like Harry, he wondered if...

Knowing that Harry was up to no good, Lola wanted to break away from his arms. Harry whispered in her ear, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. If you dare to say no, you're doomed!"

... Though they hadn't seen each other for a few years, Harry was still so overbearing. "Seven thirty," he said. Again she compromised. Four years had passed, while Lola hadn't grown smarter and still fell into his trap!

The man kissed her again before letting her go.

When Lola got out of the car, Harry saw the man in the opposite car looking straight at him. Without feeling the least bit embarrassed, he just politely nodded to Jordan and drove off.

Lola, however, was embarrassed to see her big brother, who must have seen everything just now!

Jordan beckoned Lola to get in the military vehicle. Sitting on the passenger seat, Lola uttered, "Jordan, I..."
