Lily takes a step forward and answers honestly, “Yes.”
After a few seconds of silence, Carlos, who has gently grasped her wrist, lets her go. His eyes are emotionless, “Go.”
Lily walks out of the room quickly to go to the toilet and unscrewed the faucet. She then waters a tissue and places it on the forehead, her minds is full of Frank’s word.
That year, her father was investigated and prosecuted for approving a business of corruption and bribery. At that time, they also cooperated with Bao Cloud Group. However, it was only their first year, which isn’t as big as it is now.
As for the latter result, Lily remains unclear. She only knew that Harry is sentenced for 13 years. They spend lots of money to bail him out that time. With such bad history, it was difficult for him to find a job, owing to the fact that even his friend avoids him. This is why Harry could only maintain his life through a small retail business.
Speaking of corruption, in Lily’s impression, she has never felt that her family was very rich nor spend richly but only a decent family.
But she doesn’t expect that Frank, whose once was Harry’s attorney, has now been Bao Cloud legal representative?
As the matter of fact, even if Bao Cloud was an easy-going company, they definitely won’t choose such a person, for the reason that the incident at that time isn’t a small one. Did the CEO of Bao Cloud is that big-hearted?
Lily smells something fishy. This wasn’t an easy case, ‘I’ll have to ask Harry about it.
When Lily is about to gone out of spirit, her phone in the pocket vibrates. She then takes it out and finds it is Tim.
She picks it up. “Hello.”
Coming from the microphone. “Where are you?” Tim’s voice is calm.
Lily takes the wet tissue off her forehead and throws it the to trash can. “Meeting client.”
“We need to talk when you’re done.”
“Just say it, I might didn’t have any time to meet you.” The point is, Lily doesn’t want to meet him anymore.
He ponders for a moment and speaks again, “Didn’t you want to talk about the divorce? Let’s sit and talk properly.”
Lily acts rough, a little wary of his sudden attitude, “Are you still on your mind?”
“Jade is pregnant.”
Even though she had mentally prepared, she is still shocked. Jade is pregnant…..
She couldn’t help but think of Susan, about how she wanted grandchildren. She kept on being urged to have one right after they married. Now as she wishes, she gets it. Susan will definitely accept the divorce for the sake of her grandchild, not for Jade.
Lily thinks she would have a heart ache, but surprisingly, she feels much better than that.
Her emotion has long been drained.
“Come here. I’m at the Red Club, room number A301. We’ll talk face to face.”
…..
Coming out of the bathroom, Carlos has been waiting for her in the main door. He, who wears formal attire, is standing under the bright lights with a straight figure in his long legs, very eye-catching.
The waiter who occasionally passes by wouldn’t be able to help but glances at him.
Watching Lily coming, he puts his phone away, “I’ll send you home.”
“It’s fine, I’m going somewhere else.”
Carlos’ eyes fell on her face, “Dating?”
“No.” Lily sighs helplessly, “I’m going to divorce.”
“Divorce?” Carlos shocks, “How old are you?”
