Harry stood up from his chair as he dived deep into his thoughts.
Joey explained everything in detail for him.
At first, the school boy did not dare to tell the truth as he was scared it would cause him unnecessary trouble. He was fearful of his own life. Eventually, he spit it all out as he was under so much pressure.
That very day, as he was doing his homework on the balcony, he noticed a masked man climb to the window of the second floor. This caught his attention immediately. It was rather strange. He looked closer and saw the man take something out of his pocket and aim it into the room.
The next second, he heard a huge explosion of a gun. Out of panic, he hid underneath the window and only popped his head out a little bit to see what just happened.
A second explosion came. The masked man threw the weapon inside the room, closed the window and fled the scene immediately.
......
The office had an awkward silence. It was so uncomfortable. Joey noticed Harry's face having mixed feelings.
Joy, guilt, excitement and agony.... Harry's expression was a bit bizarre.
Harry remembered her mother's movements the moment she was dying. She was not pointing at Lola, but she was actually pointing at the window behind her!
That little fool! Why didn't Lola explain everything to him!
However, back then, no matter what she said, he would automatically treat all her words as lies!
"Comply with the police to investigate the masked man. As for the school boy, give him a lucrative scholarship to ensure that he goes to key universities. If he wishes, he may come and work for my company directly after his graduation."
Joey pictured this out in admiration as he knew from this moment onwards, the boy has a splendid life in front him...
The he heard Harry's deep voice murmur to himself. "What can I do to make up to her?" He accused her of something that she never did. She would never forgive him!
Joey felt sorry for him as he said with hesitation, "Boss, it is hard to tell. Your girl is not an ordinary one! You really have to do something special this time." She was so hard to deal with!
Harry gave him a bitter smile. Joey was right about it. He had a lot of difficulties coming his way. What he needed right now was enough patience and a strong heart!
Two days later, Harry took Nicole to A Country. He brought her back to the Li family.
Later, Lola learned from Wendy that Jordan and Harry had a fight that day.
Nicole was then left at the Li family for a couple days as Harry went to the cafe and left for C Country afterwards.
As usual, Lola returned to the villa. At the gates, she thought she heard Nicole's voice. But she didn't pay attention to it as she thought that she was just daydreaming.
Was it an illusion? Did she miss Nicole that much?
As she walked into the living room, she saw a girl playing with the baby and she was no other than but her Nicole!
"Nicole?" She must be at her wildest dreams! How come Nicole was here, right at her home? This was impossible!
Nicole sprang up and dashed towards her. She was screaming endlessly with excitement: "Mommy, mommy!" It was indeed her Nicole!
"My dearest baby, how come you are here? Who sent you here?" She embraced her girl warmly and noticed that she had grown quite a lot since the last time they met.
Nicole cuddled her arms around her neck in excitement as she answered her mother with a sweet voice, "Daddy sent me here. He said I can stay with granny for a couple of days!"
Lola was quite confused at her words. Why would Harry send Nicole back here? This was really random and out of the blue.
Just then, Harold and Angie came home. They saw the puzzled look on Lola's face and felt amused. It seemed that Harry had not contacted her yet. Angie walked up towards her daughter and explained, "Harry came in today to apologize to us. Your brother even had a fight with him."
.....
So this meant that Harry had investigated the whole incident and got the truth?
Lola was lost in her thoughts. With a hesitant smile upon her face, she wondered if she was no longer a murderer in his eyes...
"How is my brother now?"
