Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 174

Lola stared at her in disbelief. What on earth gave her the guts to hit her? Who did she think she was? How dare she bully her like this? She would not let her get away with this!

"Yolanda!" Harry became serious as he quickly grabbed Lola closer to his side and pushed Yolanda away.

With eyes wide open, Yolanda stared at Harry in dismay. Why was Harry protecting Lola? What kind of spell did this wrench cast on him?

Harry gently stroked Lola's pretty face and frowned when he saw the reddish marks left by Yolanda's slap. "I will ask Joey to send you some ice cubes. You return to work first."

Lola nodded in agreement, obviously glad of Harry's unexpected concern.

Harry cast a cold glance on Yolanda and uttered in a cold voice, "Meet me in my office. I need to have a word with you."

The office went quiet again when both of them left. Lola held onto her cheek as it was quite painful.

She thought about her slap on Harry's face. It must be quite painful for him as well.

She calmed down and decided to plan her actions. She did not want Yolanda around, trying to sabotage her plans. She really needed to take advantage of every opportunity she had with Harry. She has to totally sway Harry into choosing her.

In no time, Joey entered the room and gave the ice cubes to her. "Here Miss Li, please put some on your right cheek. I need to share a secret with you. I overheard her arguing with boss in the office. It was quite fierce and loud. But I am standing firmly by your side. You need to cheer up!" Joey encouragingly showed his support and dashed towards Lola's desk. He acted swiftly and with purpose, just like a true assistant.

Lola laughed and replied, "Fair enough! Thank you for your support. If an opportunity presents itself, I will make sure to speak good things about you in front of the CEO."

Joey nodded in great appreciation. As far as he knew, the CEO always took Lola's words very seriously. If only Yolanda did not get involved, Mr. Si would definitely listen to Lola all the time.

Joey returned to the CEO's office and saw Yolanda walk out of the room. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Inside the room, Harry was standing still, seeming looking out the window and deeply lost in thoughts.

Joey silently closed the door left open by Yolanda and returned to his seat at the secretary division to continue his work.

After a heated argument with his fiance, Yolanda returned to Crescent Spring Villa and started packing her stuff.

Rose heard the noise and curiously went out to see what was happening. She caught Yolanda packing her clothes into the suitcase as she was wiping away her tears in great sadness.

She walked up to her and asked her in a calming tone, "What's wrong, Yolanda?"

Yolanda momentarily glanced away from her to wipe her eyes, then turned around and forced a smile. "I am okay, Auntie. Now that my job is done here, I need to leave for D City anyway."

Rose looked at Yolanda and noticed that most of her rashes had disappeared. "Then why are you crying? Was it because of Harry?"

Yolanda paused and hesitatingly nodded "Auntie, I am scared that my relationship with Harry is over." The thought almost killed her and she broke down into tears.

Rose quickly pulled her into her arms and said, "Please tell me everything. What happened? I will try my best to help you out!"

She knew it had something to do with that wrench!

Yolanda used some tissues to wipe her teary eyes and carried on, "Auntie, I am really in love with Harry. I have never felt these kind of emotions in my life. I do not what to do if I can't be with him."

"I know. Haven't I told you already... That you must be my daughter-in-law!" Rose brought more tissues to her.

Yolanda tried to calm herself down and was thinking hard on how to explain herself better. "Harry once said that he only agreed to be engaged to me because of you. He also said that I should step away from Lola and avoid having conflicts with her."

She gritted her teeth in great anger as she remembered how cold Harry was treating her lately. With all these harsh remarks, he treated her almost like a stranger!

He was behaving like this all because of that girl!
