Lola politely smiled and nodded at the reporters. She did not want to sound and look arrogant. Then she walked directly to the office.
It was the first time for her to face so many reporters, so she was a little dumbstruck and actually did not know what to say. After going into the building, Lola felt secretly relieved and walked towards the elevator.
In Mo Family of C Country.
Yolanda sat in the living room and stared angrily at the television. It showed the live interview of Lola regarding the issue. Lola was wearing an orange off-shoulder jumpsuit, little to no makeup, yet she was still attractive enough to get lots of men on their feet.
Faced with numerous reporters, she was smiling calmly as if she had everything under control. Lola looked more than a queen, with her orange lipstick. She looked very sophisticated.
Though Yolanda did not want to admit, she can't deny that Lola was perfect and incomparable. She was shining in the spotlight.
A middle-aged couple opened the door. The woman wore a black dress, and the tall and portly man was in a suit.
Seeing her daughter sitting calmly on the couch, Molly Wu approached with her heels tapping noisily on the floor.
"Yolanda! The whole world knows! How could you just sit here doing nothing? This is unacceptable!" Molly hurriedly sat next to her daughter, and stared at the woman on the screen. It was her! That evil of a woman!
James Mo tossed his key to their expensive table made of rose wood, and glanced at her daughter. Now everyone knew the truth. It was becoming a disgrace!
Though James and Molly knew that Yolanda did something really wrong, they still did not want to admit it. They still desired to protect their image.
"Yolanda, ask Harry to have dinner with us."
That Harry didn't even care about his fiancee's parents at all! He was not a true man. Gentlemen do not treat women like this! Was it that easy for him to woo a woman, get together, and suddenly break up with her?
Both of them are already engaged. James could not just ignore the news and approach everything without being angry.
The thought of asking Harry to dine with them made her cringe. Yolanda sneered. Probably he even would not answer her call. He was that cold to her.
"Did you hear what your father just say? Ask Harry to come here tonight!" Molly pulled Yolanda's arm and frowned at her.
Yolanda could not control herself anymore. She shouted, "Mother, I just lost my job, and my phone is out of charge from the barrage of calls. My life has just turned into a mess! Could you just leave me alone?"
After the incident, higher people in the entertainment industry said that no crew would like to work with her anymore. They even said that they would terminate her contract.
"Fine! End it! Who cares! I could build myself back up..." Yolanda thought to herself.
And she was nagged by her so-called "friends", who could hardly believe the news.
After a moment's silence, James and Molly looked at each other. They decided to take the matter to their own hands. "All right. If you won't call him, I will. I won't stand here doing nothing to make this right." James got his phone, found Harry's private number, and dialed.
It was Joey that answered. Joey said Harry could not answer because he was having a video conference. James fumed in anger.
As he hung up the phone, he stared at Yolanda, thought for a while and comforted her. "You two have been together for more than ten years...How did this happen? If he doesn't care about you at all, don't marry him! Why do you have to beg him like this? He is ruining your life...and your career."
Yes. He couldn't deny that Harry was very influential and powerful. They would also be wealthy if their daughter marry him. But James could not bear to see his daughter suffering after the wedding. That man was numb.
When she heard of her father 's blatant disapproval of the marriage, Yolanda got anxious, stood quickly, and yelled, "Father! That's my own business! Leave me alone!"
Two months from now, they would get married. After the wedding, Lola would never be Harry's wife but a mistress, reviled and abused by the public. She still believed in this.
Besides, she should contact Steven tonight. Something must be done to get rid of that bitch!
