Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 4

Not answering Joey's question, Harry Si tapped on the armrest with his slender fingers now and then, long before he started to say, "Make an investigation into this woman." He pointed at the woman on the screen, with his irrelevant words confusing Joey Yun.

A woman? Carl Li's daughter? Did his daughter have anything to do with acquiring Li's company?

Being full of questions, Joey Yun said nothing but "Yes, sir."

With the help of Zoe, Lola and her father got rid of the reporters and drove home in a Benz.

Their villa was located in a rich neighborhood in the east of the city, with fresh air and beautiful surroundings. Only the richest families in D City could afford the houses here.

In the warm home, the aged Catharine Rong had been waiting for them on the sofa for a long time. When she saw her son and granddaughter coming, she stood up with her walking stick immediately.

"What on earth is going on there, Carl?" The grey-haired old woman asked in a hurry, leaving the two people not knowing how to tell her.

Carl Li opened his mouth but could say nothing, as he did not want to hurt his mother at such an old age.

"Grandma, please don't worry …" Lola handed her grandmother, not knowing how to comfort her though.

"How could I not worry about it? The news has been reported on several channels today. What's going on there? Tell me now!" Although Catharine Rong was old, she used to dominate the business when she was young. With a serious facial expression, she hit the ground with the walking stick, making the other two's hearts beat faster.

"Mother, please don't be angry. Take care of ..." The old lady had heart disease and should not get angry. But Carl Li could not finish what he was saying and was interrupted by Catharine Rong.

"Nonsense. I know my own physical status."

"Just as you know, I have lost our company." Carl Li sighed. His mother and his wife had made great contributions to the company. What had happened made him feel ashamed to face his mother and his dead wife.

He was in the middle age, but was betrayed by his closest friend that he had trusted so much.

"Why? Did you really commit crime? Or were you cheated?" Catharine Rong was very sure that her son would never do bad things. However, she could not figure out other reasons why things happened like this.

"Jacob and his son have planned for many years." He thought that Jacob Qi had a grudge against him because of what happened over 20 years ago.

More than twenty years ago, they regarded each other as real brothers. However, they loved a woman at the same time - Lavender Ren, Lola's mother and his wife that passed away ten years ago. Both of them crazily ran after her, as she was very elegant and graceful.

One night, Carl Li was drunk and forced her to have sex with him in the car. As a result, Lavender Ren had no choice but to marry him. Upon learning the truth, Jacob Qi fought with him and disappeared. It was not until a year later that Jacob Qi came back and contacted Carl actively. At that time, Jacob was already married and expressed that he would let bygones be bygones.

"Jacob and his son ..." One was his son's best friend, the other was Lola's boyfriend with whom she grew up together. The old lady, out of breath, became unconscious and fainted.

"Mother ..."

"Grandma ..."

Catharine Rong was sent to the hospital for rescue at 5 p.m. due to the heart attack. The operation failed. Catharine Rong came round at 8 p.m. that night and passed away later with her son and her granddaughter by her side.

Her death hit the whole D City, as she used to have a great influence on the business world of D City, as well as being the dream lover of many men when she was alive.

A lot of her old friends attended the funeral to mourn for her, while many others who were in good relationship with Carl Li didn't show up, but sent funeral wreaths instead.
