"Lola, what am I talking about? Tell him yourself!"
The loud voice of Ellie made Lola feel guilty and unable to speak.
Jacob didn't see the expression on Lola's face, but said firmly, "She doesn't need to say anything. I know clearly that she loves me, and I love her too! It's none of your business, Ellie."
"You will pay the price, Jacob!"
"No matter what the price is, as long as I want, no one can stop us from being together!"
As soon as Jacob finished his words, he dragged Lola away, regardless of Ellie.
Lola walked on the road in a low mood. It was getting dark and their figures were pulled long, which stunned her.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm worried about you. It's so late now. You run out alone. What if you are taken away?"
Jacob held her hand and kissed it.
She looked at this scene in a daze, and her heart beat faster.
He smiled dotingly and fiddled with her hair. "Silly girl, I won't let you go alone."
When Lola came to her senses, she cleared her throat and said, "Let's get down to business."
She changed the topic, but Jacob didn't notice her dodge or escape. He asked, "You just went to see Murphy? Did he do anything to you? Why do you look so pale?"
"He really didn't give up. He lied to me."
Jacob said, "I've warned you a long time ago that Murphy has never changed. He has been ambitious from the beginning to the end, and he was just putting on a show to get back together with Kate! It's not too late for you to see his purpose now."
But Lola thought to herself, 'It's almost too late.'
It was hard to explain what happened that night!
"I just didn't expect that he would make use of Kate and Florence, his daughter! He is so ambitious that he doesn't care about other people's feelings at all. I was deceived by him and thought he really regretted... Not only me, but also Kate doesn't know about it! Sworn father and sworn mother... No, I have to tell Kate that she can't be cheated by Murphy!"
Jacob held the flustered Lola and chuckled, "It's so late. Even if you want to find Kate, she must have fallen asleep. Aren't you going to see them tomorrow? Let's talk about it at that time..."
Lola nodded, "yes, I'm going to attend the press conference of the new company. I'm going to tell Jeremy. And Murphy told me that the Gu family wanted to take advantage of me to get some benefits from the Zheng family, so they lied to me! He really takes me as a fool!"
Lola clenched her fists and said angrily, "I won't let him succeed!"
"That's right!" Jacob was satisfied with her timely realization. He nodded and said, "I will ask Murphy to show the truth tomorrow!" "Tomorrow? How about I try my best to bring Mr. and Mrs. Zheng here?"
"You don't need them. As long as you want, I will help you achieve your goal."
Raising her eyebrows, Lola smiled, "Is it what you help me or what you want?"
"Do we still need to distinguish?" Jacob held her closer to his chest and put his face on her neck, breathing gently.
"You have already given it to them once."
"So, it won't be the second time." said Lola firmly.
Jacob seemed to be satisfied with her answer and nodded slightly.
She seemed to think of something and said in a hurry, "By the way, do you know who I saw in the club except for Murphy?"
"Ellie?"
Lola shook her head and said, "Not only that, but also Sean. Do the three of them happen to know each other and drink together?"
Jacob frowned, "What?"
"You don't think it's such a coincidence, do you? The common enemy of these three people is you and me! It's definitely not a good thing for them to be together!"
Jacob felt strange and asked, "Are you sure the three of them are together?"
"Yes, I'm sure of it. Besides, Ellie and Sean know about it. They seem to have colluded with each other for a long time! I just don't know what they want to do..."
She looked at him worriedly, "What do you think?"
Jacob was also confused, but he comforted her, "Don't worry. No matter what these three people do, they won't affect us. Ellie and Sean always looked down upon people like Murphy. How could they collude with each other? What's more, haven't you said that the enemy of Murphy is a member of Ye Family? How could he be with an enemy?"
"Yes... That is why it is strange. Murphy knows the Ye Family is his enemy. Is he so scheming? Or is there something we don't know?" Lola felt complicated and difficult to understand.
