Damn it. Harry was a man of principle when handling important matter, right? Then why couldn't he manage not to further humiliate and embarrass a woman like her?
Taking out her phone, she sent Thomas Herren a message through Wechat. With a bit of reluctance, she typed in: "Thomas, I am not good enough for you. Please just let me go! You deserve someone better!"
It was already late in the evening when Thomas saw her message. Playfully holding his phone, he fell in deep meditation and thought of what she really meant.
And then he pushed open the door of the bedroom she once slept in. It seemed that there was still her fragrance inside. He could still smell her sweet perfume in the air.
"Lola, if I propose to you and offer you marriage, will you say yes?" He sent a sincere message back to her.
As soon as she read it, Lola started to feel sad and anxious.
She would like to, but she was afraid that Harry would not let them go easily.
She answered honestly: "Harry won't spare me! He will punish me for it!"
As he saw the name of Harry on Lola's reply, he immediately understood what was going on. Clenching his fists in anger, he couldn't wait to kill Harry! He has gone too far!
"We will face all these difficulties together. I will always be by your side from now on."
Could she say yes?
It won't hurt to just try it out, right?
"Yes."
The next day, Lola met with Thomas in his place because he couldn't just show up in public places. His work in the government required him to keep a low profile.
Thomas proposed to her at a coffee shop, and Lola agreed with a smile on her face.
Cheers soon filled the small cafe. He put a ring on her finger and held her tightly in his arms.
Their relationship has become even deeper.
Under Herren's suggestion, Lola returned to Crown Province with him again.
When Harry knew that Thomas and Lola have been engaged, Lola has already been staying at Crown Province for three days.
And then Harry's phone rang. It was an unknown number. It was strange to have this call as he has made it a point to keep his private number confidential.
When he answered the phone, a man said, "Harry, let's have a talk. This is serious matter." Thomas Herren's calm voice passed through the phone.
Harry kept silent, and wondered if he was calling to talk about Lola. "It's not necessary. Don't waste your time." He directly refused.
Although Thomas was mad, he continued to say, "She is my fiancee right now. Can you just let her go and live her own life?"
Harry sneered. "Lola Li does not deserve happiness. I advise you to stay away from her."
Thomas Herren knew that Harry won't spare Lola that easily. He said, "You already have a fiancee. It's not good to let others know that you are a playboy. You have a daughter."
"Will you not mind if she has cheated on you?" asked Harry in a plain and emotionless voice.
Thomas clenched his fists, knowing that Harry must have done something to Lola. This must be the reason that she said she was not good enough for him.
"Past is past. I don't care anymore."
Harry smirked and wondered whether they thought that he would make it easy on them. "Tell Lola that if she would marry, a title of 'She is a Killer' will follow her for her whole lifetime. I mean that."
After saying this, he pressed the end button of the phone.
Thomas was so angry that he punched at the table, hating the fact that that man was so cruel!
Yet, what was the reason on earth that Lola killed Harry's mother? He often pondered about that. Did she really do it? He wanted to know but he does not have the courage to ask her about it.
But he always had a way to find out about the truth.
He called his secretary's number, and started to investigate.
In the next room, Lola was about to go to sleep when her phone made a ringing sound.
