Thomas Herren tipped with a wink to his people that prompted two men to immediately take the injured bodyguard away.
Without any hesitation, Thomas used her as a shield when Harry was about to shoot him. He knew Harry would not take the risk.
That sent a chill to Lola's heart. All the goodness Thomas Herren used to show to her were all gone. She felt so betrayed.
Then the chill was replaced by fury. Lola used the weapon in her mouth again to shoot the person next to her and immediately a bodyguard fell on the ground with his hands covering his eyes.
Then she did it again to the people on her right side.
Thomas found there was something wrong with Lola. Lola was not in her usual talkative attitude. He had never seen her so silent like this. Why wasn't she voicing out her complaints?
Two bodyguards fell on the ground in succession. Foams formed in their mouths and they immediately died.
Thomas Herren pinched her face to force her to spit out the concealed weapons in her mouth.
It was a spring-loaded box. The bullets in it had been used up when he intentionally stepped on it.
Harry's eyes turned red when he saw this.
He could keep a cool head when faced with anything dangerous only except situations that involved Lola. He could not risk his wife's safety.
"Take your hands off from her!" He uttered the words coldly. He wanted to shoot Herren's hand so badly.
Thomas Herren didn't do as Harry said. He said to Lola, "Now you know why there are so many people around you."
He released Lola and continued, "Think of Harry, Joey and even your brother. How do you know they aren't interested in your old pocket watch? I've warned you about this before, Lola."
"He is trying to separate us. Don't listen to him!" The three men shouted in unison.
Lola looked at Thomas in disdain. "I'm sure that only you are interested in it. They are good men." She knew what kind of person he truly was and she would never believe in him at all.
Thomas just laughed. "Maybe." He admitted readily.
"You are a traitor! A liar!" She was so stupid because she had never doubted his goodness to her. She should have listened to Harry when he told her that he found Herren to be suspicious.
Traitor? Liar? Thomas laughed again. He was really amused of her.
Things must end today. Lola looked at the cords on her wrists and asked, "How did you know that my son was taken away by Martin and how did you get my son?"
Thomas was lost in his thoughts when he heard the question.
But he laughed viciously. "Why don't you promise me one thing first and then I will tell you the truth?" Looking at his terrifying expression, Lola thought that she had never known who this man was.
Harry also wanted to know the answer, but he wouldn't let Lola lie to him anymore. So he called her name sternly, "Lola!" He was warning her with threatening eyes.
Lola wasn't a fool. She wouldn't say yes.
Lola glanced at her husband softly to relieve him.
