Jordan nodded and then turned to his sister: "Lola, could you please come to the study when you're done eating?"
Upon hearing this, Lola quickly finished her congee and wiped her mouth clean. Then she bent over to Nicole, kissing her on her chubby cheeks. "My dear baby, you sit here and eat. Be a good girl. I will talk to your uncle and be back in just a while."
Nicole stared at her and just nodded indifferently.
In the study.
Hearing Lola's footsteps, Jordan took out a pistol from the drawer, looked over at Lola and gave it to her. "Take it and protect yourself. If you come across something that you could not handle, let me know and I'll be there."
Cautiously, Lola quickly put the pistol in her bag. Her previous gun was given to Harry.
"Brother, I'm quite anxious they would find out that you were the one involved in the incident last night." She was getting really worried about the issue.
Jordan took a deep glance at his sister. "It's not an issue anymore. He already took care of it."
"He?", Lola thought to herself. "Harry?"
"Also, the guys in jail confessed that they were sent by someone named Sara." Without hesitation, he shared this information to his sister to stop her from worrying.
Lola let out a bit of a smile and said, "Is this what Harry found out in his investigation?"
Jordan shook his head and explained: "Well, he did say that. But I also have some connections in the police station and it is true that the criminals confessed."
Lola shook her head in disagreement. "Brother, I believe it was not Sara. It was the woman you kicked last night. Her name is Yolanda Mo and she is the ringleader!"
"Such cunning method of clearing off responsibility! They even had the guts to pin the blame on Sara who prostitute herself in D City!", Lola shockingly pondered to herself.
Jordan heard her words and frowned. He had recently heard about Yolanda, an international celebrity, who was also the so-called fiancee of Harry Si.
"I will go and collect the evidence for you."
Lola thought for a while and declined: "No need for that. I can do it. Yolanda and I have a long history of knowing each other. I will try my best to hunt her down myself!" If she could not solve the issue, then she might turn for his help. But for now, she did not want to risk her family by getting them involved.
Jordan looked at his sister who looked determined and calm, then nodded in approval. "If you come across anything, just call me. If I am not available, then call father! Your family will always back you up!"
In a gesture of appreciation, Lola went closer towards her brother and gave him a big hug. "Brother, words could not describe how thankful I am to you."
Jordan's lips curled up as he was rarely pleased like this. He gently pat on her hand and said, "One of my boys drove your car back last night. Now you should hurry to work!"
"Sure thing!" Lola hastily got the car key and ran out of the study. After all, her family was the only thing she could count on! She was already so lucky that her foster parents treated her as their own daughter. Now her birth parents also treat her the same! This is so great!
In SL Group.
Lola entered the building and was at the lobby when her presence was immediately felt by the people around her.
She wore a white top with a black plaid high waist maxi skirt and black high heels which were further emphasized by her long white jacket.
Her eyes were a little bit reddish. Thanks to a thin layer of foundation she put on, she was able to brighten her complexion. However, her eyelashes were curly and long and her soft, red lips were very enticing.
The deputy CEO was known for her high-end fashion taste. However, due to her recent cold expressions, the staff thought she resembled the CEO way too much now...
Some of them forced themselves to understand her well. They believe that the reason for her to look so grumpy was because of the CEO's mother causing quite a scene in the company.
In the meeting room.
Aside from the senior management, both Yolanda and Joseph were present. Lola dismissively looked at Yolanda. After a brief moment of awkward connection, she then glanced away.
Yolanda made her suffer a lot last night. But she bet that Yolanda suffered more from Jordan's kick!
It was indeed the case! "Ahem ahem ahem..." Yolanda turned her back from them, obviously to let out a painful series of coughs.
