"Surely we can take this one man down if we join hands." Lucia Zheng did not sound convinced by Jacob's words. Who would have thought that the lucky bastard married such a powerful husband?
"It is hard to say. Sara, just drop the case first. I will discuss it with your father." Though being mysterious and low-profile, Harry was a man second to none in his power. Head-on confrontation with such a dangerous figure had better be avoided.
Sara could not but call her lawyer to drop the case against Lola. With hatred, she made an investigation into Harry.
Jacob Qi soon got in touch with Howard Fu, Hann Zheng and William Luo. They then had a discussion in the meeting room.
All of them were sophisticated businessmen. However, they all went silent at the mentioning of Harry's name. "Fu, Harry's power and wild ambition are beyond our imagination. It is a marvel that he could gain a firm foothold in the business field at such a young age. Now that we know Lola is his wife, we should not provoke her."
William Luo was timider than the others. It was his custom to stay away from those that he dared not provoke.
"William, it is not good to look down upon ourselves. Our children may be prosecuted. We'd better not sit idle." Howard Fu said with a sour face, for he did not believe that Harry was so powerful that he could rival the four of them.
"Fancy you having the nerve to say that! If it were not for the fact that Mike and Sara provoked Lola in the first place, Cindy would not be involved." William Luo had already warned Cindy Luo not to get close to that scheming Sara. Cindy refused to take his father's advice. Then she got it in the neck. But fortunately, it seemed that Harry didn't blame her, as she didn't talk much.
"William, you are already in. Do not say that." Thinking of his disappointing son, Jacob turned red with anger and decided to teach him a lesson after returning home.
William Luo left right away, for he didn't want to get involved in this matter. He made up his mind to keep her daughter grounded upon returning home. "Jacob is such an old fox that he even framed his best friend. It is better to stay away from him," William Luo thought to himself.
William Luo's attitude irritated the other three. Well, the alliance was then already one man short.
"Sara has discontinued the suit. We would figure something out later, should Harry kept pushing this issue. If he did not, then the whole thing would be over for good. As for the grievances that Mike and Sara have suffered, it is not the right time to get back at her now. Lola will reap what she has sowed sooner or later." This was the simple expedient that Jacob could dope out at the moment.
Jacob would warn Mike and Sara not to offend Harry any more.
In Luo's house.
"Slap!" A slap loudly echoed across the living room. Cindy Luo stared at her father in disbelief.
"William, what are you doing?" Sherry Deng hurried to hand Cindy, her youngest daughter, who almost fell onto the ground, wondering what made the good-tempered William Luo fly into a rage.
"Cindy! From this moment on, keep yourself away from Sara Fu and Lucia Zheng, or else you would be banned from this house!" William Luo had warned her many times, but Cindy just turned a deaf ear to him. It was by sheer luck that she managed to keep out of this mess, or the whole family and the Fujiang Group would go down with her!
If Howard Fu and the other knew their place, they should definitely not mess with Lola and Harry!
"Father! I did nothing but hang out with them. Why do you do this to me?" It was the first time that Cindy Luo had been slapped by her father. She was left speechless with grievance.
