My Mysterious Man: Lousy Daddy Or Big Boss

As the night fell, the bustling streets outside were brimming with breathtaking lights and laughter which were in sharp contrast to the gloomy and silent atmosphere in the room.

Sitting in the empty bedroom with a face full of worry and sadness, Lola Nan held a thick stack of IOU notes in her hand which were given by the hospital.

"What should I do about this? Grandpa is in critical condition, but I don't have money to treat him."

Her grandpa, who had brought her up since she was young, was now seriously ill, but she could not do anything about it. She grabbed her hair bitterly and was wracking her brain for the huge amount of operation fee.

Her biological father had married another wife and left her, not bothering to care about her and grandpa at all. He only cared about his new wife and the new daughter.

Suddenly, she heard a creaking sound. The door of the bedroom was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.

"Patrick, you're back," said Lola, raising her head with joy and standing up immediately to greet the man who had come in.

Grandpa and Patrick Jiang's grandpa were good friends. The two had promised each other the marriage of their grandson and granddaughter when they grew up. Just like that, when the time came, Lola accepted the proposal of her family and married Patrick.

However, even if they had been married for more than a month now, Patrick had only come back home a few times, let alone stay in a room with Lola.

Not to mention that they didn't even hold a wedding nor did they arrange the wedding rings as a sign of their marriage. All they had was a marriage certificate.

"I have something to tell you, Lola," Patrick said in an anxious tone and walked up to Lola with quick strides.

As he approached, there was a flash of disgust at the sight of Lola in his eyes, but she didn't notice it.

"I also have something to talk to you," Lola replied. She fidgeted her fingers as she thought about where to start from.

"Alright. You go first." Patrick motioned her to talk while frowning slightly.

"My grandpa is sick and he needs money..."

Before Lola could finish her words, Patrick interrupted, "I also need money." After saying that, he directly threw a document in front of her and motioned her to check it.

"This is..."

"Something happened to my company recently and I need a lot of financial support to make it stable. So, you need to do me a favor."

Just as Lola flipped it open, the first thing she saw was a big word "Transaction" as the title of the document. As her eyes skimmed through the content, which was for her to accompany a certain rich man for a night for a compensation of one million dollars, her expression instantly became extremely terrified and she abruptly looked up at Patrick.

"You didn't read it wrong. You just need to accompany that man for one night. Maybe you don't even need to do anything. After that, I can immediately get the money, and your grandpa can also be treated right away." Patrick spoke those words ruthlessly in her face, as if he was talking about an extremely simple thing.

"I don't have to do anything? If it is really that simple, why do you still need me?" Lola felt shocked as if a lightning had struck her straight onto the head. Thinking that this situation was ridiculous, she couldn't accept it at all.

Her newly married husband just asked her to accompany others as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Patrick was afraid that Lola wouldn't give in, so he gradually put down his arrogant posture and begged in a soft tone, "I beg you, Lola. You only need to stay there for one night."

That night, Lola fell into endless despair.

The call from the hospital rang loudly in the dark room, telling her that the treatment of her Grandpa's illness couldn't be delayed any longer.

Grief, humiliation and helplessness forced her to accept this shameful deal.

In the evening, when the sky was painted grey by the thunderstorm occurring somewhere, Lola was sent to a luxurious hotel room.

It was dark in the room with the occasional melancholic sound of strong wind blowing on the windows. Only a few rays of faint light came in through the crack of the curtain, accompanied by the cold wind, chilling the person who curled up on the bed.

Lola was lying on the white king size bed with her lips pressed tightly, trying hard to hold in her tears which nonetheless slid down from her cheeks, wetting the pillow.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure approached the bed with a sense of oppression.

Hearing the steps that were like a hammer hitting her heart, Lola was so frightened that she closed her eyes and her whole body trembled fiercely.

"Are you clean?" The man's low and hoarse voice came with a touch of forbearance, making it difficult to hear what he was saying.

Lola didn't respond anything. She only lay there, curled up and trembled.

The next second, the man impatiently lifted her quilt and touched her exposed arm with his big hand.

"Ah!" The cold sensation made Lola scream and her eyes were filled with fear. Her inexperienced and innocent look quickly pleased the man.

"Good, you are my antidote tonight."

The two entangled and the temperature in the room was getting higher and higher. The strong wind didn't cease blowing on the windows, adding even more disturbance to the chaotic night.

It was destined to be a restless night.

In the morning, Lola was sent back to her house. She didn't get to know the name of the man, nor did she bother to, but she knew that he was very strong and his actions were domineering. After all, he tortured her for a long time.

After this incident, life seemed to return to peace. The fee of grandfather's operation was settled and Patrick's company was saved. However, Patrick never returned home again.

What broke her illusion of peacefulness of her life came a few months later. To her surprise, she found herself to be pregnant.

She considered about abortion as she fell into despair. How could she bear a child when her life was hard enough? However, that day when she was about to go on the procedure, she broke down into tears with hands on her stomach. How could she abort such a lively baby in her belly so cruelly?

After struggling and suffering day after day, Lola still kept the child. Patrick's coldness and ruthlessness made her sad every day, but she tried her best to focus on the child.

Until one night, when she was pregnant for seven months, she received a mysterious message.

Somehow, she had the bad premonition about it, but she still opened it out of curiosity. In an instant, the indecent photos on the message stung her eyes.

She scrolled through the photos one by one, all of which were photos of Patrick and her stepsister, Lorraine Nan.

There were photos of them passionately kissing, hugging, having sex...

Each photo clearly captured their faces and there were even several photos in which Lorraine deliberately faced the camera, with the provoking expressions as if she was showing off to Lola.

Lola's hands shook and she accidentally knocked over a glass of hot water on the table. The sound of shattering glass echoed in the room.

She knew that Patrick had no feelings for her, but how dared he hook up with her stepsister when he was married to her?

As Lola sat there, anger, humiliation and isolation broke her heart.

At that moment, Lorraine's phone call came.

"Dear sister, I'm in Grandpa's hospital now. Would you like to come over?"

When Lola arrived at the hospital, Lorraine was standing alone in grandpa's ward. Lorraine saw Lola coming in and immediately smiled at her; her smile was bright and arrogant, but her eyes were full of disdain.

"What are you doing, Lorraine?" Lola shouted when she saw Lorraine touching the oxygen mask of her grandpa. She suddenly became nervous and fear spread out in her heart, immobilizing her movements.

"The old bastard can't be saved anyway. If he dies, everything will be solved. Isn't that right, Lola?"

With a vicious smile on her face, Lorraine held onto the oxygen mask, ready to take it off any moment. Her eyes were fixed on Lola, enjoying the panic in her eyes. She didn't notice anything strange about Lola since she was wearing loose clothes. It was difficult to see her seven-month pregnant belly clearly.

"Get out!"

Lola was so angry that she rushed over and tried to push Lorraine out of the ward.

"Bitch, don't touch me. It's disgusting!" Lorraine pushed Lola back with all her strength, causing her to fall to the ground hard.

Lying on the ground, Lola felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, a sensation in which something had just stabbed her belly causing her to take a sharp intake of breath out of extreme pain.

"Hmm..." Her face instantly became pale and she bit her lower lip tightly.

Lorraine moved closer and stepped hard on the back of Lola's hand with her red high-heeled shoes. Then, she spoke in a vicious tone, "Who do you think you are, Lola? Patrick and I are in love with each other for a long time. Just because you are the biological daughter of the Nan family, this old bastard let you marry my true love, Patrick. I hate you and your grandpa so bad!

And you don't know about this yet, do you? My mother is pregnant. As long as she gives birth to a son, the Nan family will be ours from that time on. Ha ha."

As she laughed, her face seemed to be nearly twisted into a monster. Then, Lorraine continued, "Now, I can let this old bastard die."

"No!" Lola shouted in a desperate tone. She tried to move her body to stand up, but the pain in her body became more and more intense.

Lorraine took off grandpa's oxygen mask with a sinister grin on her face before turning around and kicked Lola in the abdomen with her heel.

"By the way, you must have seen those photos. After Patrick married you, he spent the night at my place every day."

After saying that, Lorraine turned around and strode away arrogantly, a pleased countenance evident on her face.

Lola's face was extremely pale and there was a lot of blood flowing from the root of her thighs. Her dress was also dyed red as she could do nothing but lie there.

She used her utmost effort to crawl and struggle to get close to the bed. Every time she moved, more blood stained the ground.

"Grandpa..."

Lola whimpered in a weak voice. Tears blurred her eyes and she felt that she was losing her strength gradually.

The pain in her body and heart intertwined, causing the extreme pain she was feeling to intensify tenfold.

"Lorraine, why are you here?" Patrick's gentle voice came from outside the ward.

"I'm here to visit my grandpa. Patrick, I feel a little uncomfortable today. Can you take me to have a check-up?" Lorraine said in a pitiful tone, her demeanor instantly changing from previous vicious one.

"Okay, let's go to a quiet place and I will check you up carefully," Patrick replied in a wicked tone.

"You are so annoying."

The two of them lingered at the door, teasing each other for a while before they left, holding each other affectionately.

On the other side of the ward, the blood stains were shocking at a glance.

It was only a while later that the doctor found Lola and hurriedly sent her to the delivery room.

"Give her emergency treatment right now. It's premature birth."

"It's triplets. Take them out quickly."

The doctor's urgent voice kept ringing in Lola's ears that she couldn't completely slide into unconsciousness. She moved her eyes, but was unable to open them because of the extreme pain.

The moment the babies were taken out of her belly, the pain paralyzed her nerves.

It hurt!

"Damn it! One baby is dead!" a doctor exclaimed when the three babies were successfully taken out.

The doctor looked nervous and immediately asked, "Where is the patient's family?"

"The patient didn't bring her family here today," the nurse beside him replied.

"Give me her phone," the doctor said.

After receiving Lola's phone, the doctor immediately dialed the number on the top of the contact list.

Lola's senses were fuzzy and her head was in a daze, but she wasn't completely unconscious so, she could vaguely hear what the doctor was saying on the phone.

"Hello, is this family of the owner of the phone? The owner is giving birth now, and the situation is critical. There is a dead baby. Please come here quickly."

"A dead baby? Well, just throw it away then!"

Lorraine's loud and vicious voice reverberated through the phone.

Out of reflex, Lola clenched her fists and forced herself to get up to protect her child, not understanding what was happening clearly. However, as soon as she moved, the pain in her body sprang up, immediately devouring all her consciousness and causing her to fall into darkness.

The doctor instructed the nurse to deal with the dead baby and was about to arrange for the other two babies when suddenly, the delivery room was kicked open with a bang.

A group of well-dressed bodyguards rushed in from the outside.

"Who, who are you?" the doctor asked, a tremor evident in his tone due to the oppressive pressure in the room.

The man in the lead glanced at the babies who were carried in the arms of the two doctors, and then looked at Lola's face.

"Take the children away!"

Five years later.

It took Lola a whole lot of effort to come back to this city which was full of bad memories.

However, no matter how much she wanted to run away, she had to come back and face it one day. Not to mention that the revenge on the shameless couple was her intention.

She would take back everything that was her own.

"Lola."

As soon as she came out of the airport, she saw her assistant, Sue, waving at her happily.

In an apricot chiffon blouse, a black tight skirt, a black trench coat and a pair of high-heels, Lola strode out elegantly. Her long hair beautifully fluttered as she walked.

She took off her sunglasses and smiled at Sue.

"You must have been waiting for a long time."

"Not long. Welcome back, Lola," Sue greeted her with a smile.

The two of them were boss and assistant overseas, but Sue was assigned to come back to the country first to arrange the schedule.

"What's the arrangement today?" Lola was already in a bad mood since she didn't like it here. She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly while she opened the door and got in the car.

"First of all, we are going to negotiate with the Nan Group about your position. Secondly, Mr. Pan, a well-known entrepreneur, invited you to discuss about a new project and you have a business party at about six o'clock in the evening," Sue informed in a meticulous manner while following Lola to get in the car.

The first thing that Lola did after she came back was using her shares in order to quickly step up to the position of the general manager of the Nan Group. This was the first step towards taking over the company in the future.

Of course, this was also the first step of her revenge.

The whole day was full of schedules and Lola was busy all the time, but she felt it fulfilling as well. In the evening, she drank some wine at the party out of courtesy. When she returned to the hotel, she was a little drunk and her head was in a daze.

"Lola, Mr. Pan has sent the proposal of the new project to you. Have a rest tonight and read it tomorrow, okay?"

While saying these words, Sue helped Lola return to the hotel room. She took out the room card and opened the door for her, then quickly ushered the drunk Lola to get into the room.

"Well, you go back and have a rest, too."

Then, Lola entered the room and closed the door.

The moment she came in, the light in the room lit up, causing her eyes to be uncomfortable. She subconsciously raised her hand to block the light and let her eyes adjust to the bright light gradually.

As soon as she put down her hand, she saw a tall figure sitting in the room.

The man was meticulously dressed in a black shirt and black suit pants. When viewing from behind, he looked extraordinarily handsome with a great charisma that could not be ignored at a glance.

'Why is there a man sitting in my room?'

After a short pause, Lola noticed that the man was reading a document in his hand. She focused her blurry vision to look at it and realized that it was a proposal.

"I see. You work for Mr. Pan, right?"

Lola walked towards the man and asked with the remaining bit of clarity.

The man knew Lola had come back, but he waited for her to approach him before he slowly stood up and turned around to look at her.

His figure was tall and strong, and his neat and luxurious suit wrapped his sturdy body perfectly. His temperament seemed to be full of determination with a sense of tranquility.

However, Lola's eyes were blurred due to the kick of the alcohol and so, she didn't notice anything about the man.

"Since you have sent it here, you can leave now."

Bernard Mo didn't answer, instead he stood there and stared at her with his deep and profound eyes.

She was more beautiful than in the photo. Her facial features were beautiful and her figure was slim yet accompanied by the curvaceous lines. More importantly, she had a wild personality, but also pure and innocent.

He was extremely pleased when he thought of the fact that such a woman had given birth to his children.

Lola didn't notice his stare towards her. Her mind was fuzzy and she didn't bother to care much about the strange man in the room.

The next second, she took off her coat and the jewelry on her directly.

Bernard squinted his eyes and didn't move his sight away from her as she was constantly taking off her clothes, feeling a sense of dangerous temptation.

However, Lola didn't take off her underwear and then staggered into the bathroom.

Now, she was fumbling around her way like a dopey person who couldn't find her way back home.

Bang! All of a sudden, her forehead hit the door of the bathroom, producing a loud sound.

Bernard was amused as he observed her clumsy movements with interest. Then, he saw her staggering in the bathroom again.

It seemed that he didn't have to leave tonight after all.

Two minutes later, a loud sound came from the bathroom again, followed by a 'thud'.

Bernard sighed helplessly as he walked towards the bathroom with a frown.

In the bathroom, he saw that Lola was sprawling on the ground. It seemed that she had fallen asleep just like that.

The corner of Bernard's mouth twitched slightly. It looked like he unexpectedly saw an unusual side of this woman when she was drunk.

The next morning, the warm and bright morning light came in through the crack of the curtain, coloring the dim ground into a golden shade.

On the king size bed, a corner of the white quilt slipped down to the edge of the bed. A woman was lazily nestling in the man's arms, and her long chestnut curls were spread out on the white pillow.

As if she had sensed something strange, Lola's eyelids twitched lightly and then she opened her eyes slowly.

The first thing she saw was the exquisite and grand-looking colorful chandelier on the ceiling. Then, a confused expression appeared on her face and she let out a shocked gasp. What she was seeing was the smooth surface of the chandelier which reflected the figures of the two people on the bed currently.

Lola's heart trembled and she suddenly sat up from the bed with a jolt.

Looking at the handsome man lying beside her, she instantly covered her mouth in shock.

'Oh My God!' Was she so drunk last night that she slept with this man?!

"What a fool!" Lola pulled her hair irritably, feeling confused and at the same time, extremely regretful.

"Why did you wake up so early? Come back to sleep." The man next to her spoke up and suddenly pulled her arm, causing her to lay back down.

"Are you crazy?" As if she had been zapped, Lola shook off his hand and quickly sat up.

She hurriedly picked up the clothes on the bedside and put them on at a very fast speed. At the same time, her eyes were vigilantly looking at this strange but good-looking man, sizing him up.

Bernard enjoyed her scrutiny on him with a pleased expression on his face. He slightly bent his arms, staring back at her quietly. There was a faint smile on his handsome face, which was very wicked and attractive.

However, the next second, he lifted the corner of his mouth slightly and said shamelessly, "You forced me last night."

Lola was done getting dressed when she heard these words. She quickly jolted out of bed as if there was a monster on the bed, and then pointed at him and retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I..."

"Otherwise, why am I lying on the same bed with you now?"

"When I'm drunk..." Lola tried to redeem her innocence when she was interrupted by him.

"You forced yourself on me when you were drunk," Bernard repeated clearly, word by word.

Obviously, Lola didn't believe that she would force a man just because she was drunk, but the man's firm and imposing words made her stunned for a while. She was confused and even began to doubt herself.

"So, you have to be responsible for me," Bernard said while glancing at her flushed face.

Taking a deep breath, Lola said, "I'll give you the money. So, you'd better leave now. Just pretend nothing has ever happened last night."

"How can you say that nothing has happened?" The man raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. Then, he turned over lazily, deliberately exposing his back completely in front of her.

His broad back was covered with fingernail scratches and some were deep enough that those areas were even oozing blood. It could be seen how much of a hard time she had given him last night.

Lola's face turned red like a tomato in an instant. How come she didn't know that she could be so savage when she was doing this kind of thing?

"Then, how about I give you more money?"

"You have to be responsible for me." Bernard's tone meant final as he turned over and sat up elegantly. Then, he put on his clothes unhurriedly in a graceful manner.

At this moment, the repeated pressing of the doorbell rang throughout the room.

Lola thought it was a waiter, so she went to open the door.

However, as soon as the door was opened, several cameras were aimed at her, her eyes almost blinded by the camera shutters. Some reporters pushed her away and rushed into the room, taking pictures of Bernard on the bed.

Lola's expression turned cold, and there was a trace of hatred in her eyes.

"Lola, it's been a long time." A familiar loud and coquettish voice came to her ears, accompanied by the sound of clicking heels. Lorraine strode over with a Chanel bag on her arm and a pair of 3 inch high heels on her feet.

Despite wearing high heels, she didn't look much taller than Lola when she stood in front of her.

Even after five years had passed, Lorraine still acted so repulsively.

"Lorraine, you are so well-informed. You came to see me on such a precise time. We haven't seen each other for five years, and you are even more shameless now." Lola spoke up while leaning against the door frame leisurely with her arms crossed over her chest, but her eyes were full of chill as she looked at Lorraine.

As Lola looked at Lorraine condescendingly, a sullen look appeared on Lorraine's face, but soon she started to smile again for the sake of her image in front of the reporters. She glanced at the inner part of the room where the man was standing, raised her eyebrows and ridiculed Lola. "It seems that you had a really good time last night. You slept with a man in the hotel room as soon as you came back. Aren't you being so dissolute, Lola? You're the only one who would do this kind of thing in the whole H city."

"What about you? How have you been with your brother-in-law in the past five years? Have you had a harmonious sex life?" Lola retorted in a sarcastic tone, her eyes lazily looking at Lorraine, as if her existence was nothing in her eyes.

However, the past events began to play in her head like a loop even if she wanted to act indifferent. Anger and hatred intertwined, forming endless fire in her heart and her eyes became completely ice-cold.

As soon as Patrick was mentioned, the smile on Lorraine's face became brighter. She deliberately pulled down her collar, revealing the extremely sensual marks on her fair neck as if showing off.

"Patrick is very strong."

Lola was completely disgusted by her action and a disdained sneer appeared on her face. With a trace of arrogance, she slightly raised her lips and her eyes flickered with a judgmental light.

No matter it was five years ago or now, the bitch's nature had never changed.

The sneer on Lola's face made Lorraine feel very uncomfortable. Lorraine gritted her teeth as she put down all her pretenses and a malicious look appeared on her delicate face.

"Patrick had already said that he wanted to divorce you, and he was waiting for you to show up. A woman as dissolute as you should have been kicked out of the Jiang family long ago. You are nothing more than a slut!"

Five years ago, Lola disappeared from the hospital without a trace, and no one could find her.

So, as soon as Lorraine heard that Lola appeared in the city again, she immediately came over to humiliate her.

Clap!

The second Lorraine finished her words, Lola slapped her across the face hard.

"You see, I have a bad temper now and prefer using force." Lola squinted at her coldly with her lips raising up.

"How dare you hit me!" Lorraine's ears were immediately ringing by this slap and her face twisted into a hideous look. She clenched her teeth, stepped forward and was about to slap back.

But Lola naturally grabbed her wrist with a cold expression. Her strength was surprisingly strong, making Lorraine unable to move.

At this moment, a thick pile of paper was thrown at Lola's face. It was a divorce agreement document that slapped her face hard before it slowly fell to the ground.

"Patrick!" Lorraine squeaked and turned around excitedly to look at Patrick who was now standing in front of them.

He was dressed in a neat white suit and his hair was styled neatly. He was as Lola remembered; his face was handsome and he showed a gentle and graceful temperament, in sharp contrast to his action just now when he rudely threw the papers at Lola's face.

Lola shook off Lorraine's hand and looked up at Patrick coldly.

"Lola, this is the divorce agreement. Don't think of getting anything from me after we divorce. Besides, Lorraine is my woman. You must respect her." Patrick said these words indifferently in one breath.

Hearing this, Lola found it ridiculous and she chuckled. Did they think that she was still the silly woman five years ago who could be pushed around by them whenever they wanted?

"We should have divorced a long time ago." After saying that, Lola picked up the divorce agreement on the ground and threw it back on Patrick's face.

Lola grimaced and responded in a nonchalant manner, "No worries, I'll ask my assistant to send you the divorce agreement today. Every time I think of this marriage, I feel sick to my stomach."

The indifferent attitude of Lola stung Patrick. His tone increased angrily. "What right do you have to act so domineering in front of me, Lola? You just slept with another man. How dirty you are! How can a person like you compare to Lorraine?"

Patrick gnashed his teeth and looked at Lola in disdain, as if she were a pile of trash. The disgust in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Yes, she is just a loose woman. She doesn't seem to know that being Mrs. Jiang for the last five years is the most fortunate thing in her life." Lorraine also spoke again, taking the opportunity to put down Lola in front of everyone.

Lola didn't bother to care about their insults towards her. She only raised her eyes to look at Patrick deeply and replied lazily, "If I hadn't been willing to be your so called dissolute wife, how could you have what you have today?"

Patrick's expression became stiff and he couldn't say anything for a while. Then, as if he had thought of something extremely shameful, he turned around and left without a word.

Lorraine glared at Lola and left after Patrick.

In the room, Bernard had been listening to their argument quietly, which slowed down his process of putting on his clothes.

After the shameless couple left, Bernard narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at the reporters who were still standing in the room.

His cold glance scared the reporters almost to death.

"What else do you want to take?" Bernard's low and deep voice reverberated in their ears. A sense of pressure spread throughout the room in an instant and the cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

The look in his eyes was so intimidating, revealing his dangerous aura. Even if the reporters wanted to know more about this whole incident, they didn't dare to stay any longer and ran to the door dejectedly.

When Lola returned to her room, she saw Bernard who was still sitting on the edge of the bed leisurely, facing towards her direction. It was obvious that he was waiting for her.

She asked helplessly, "Why are you still here?"

"I've told you that you should be responsible for me. Miss Nan, you are not going to deny responsibility for what you had done, are you?" A charming smile appeared on Bernard's handsome face as the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

Now that she could notice the man's appearance clearly, Lola thought to herself, 'How can a man be so handsome?'

"If you want money, you can have money. I have no responsibility for you!" she replied coldly, not wanting to deal with him any longer.

"Well, I might be short of money, but I just want you to be responsible for me."

Saying this, Bernard suddenly stood up and approached her in an imposing posture.

Just as she saw his whole figure, Lola was a little stunned. This man was so tall!

"Miss Nan, you can think about it again. You can marry me after your divorce. I don't mind that you have been married once."

Bernard tried to persuade while putting his arms around her slender waist and pulling her into his arms.

"Fuck off!" Lola shouted irritably, pushed him away, and then she directly picked up her bag and strode towards the door to leave.

When she was about to open the door, she suddenly stopped and turned around to ask him, "Did Mr. Pan send you on purpose to blackmail me?"

"Of course not. It's just because you were too wild after getting drunk, Miss Nan." A mysterious smile appeared on Bernard's face as he deliberately stressed the word "wild" while looking at her playfully.

"Crazy man." Lola rolled her eyes, whispering to herself, but couldn't help wondering if she was really so bad at handling alcohol.

After Lola left, the mischievous look on Bernard's face turned into serious countenance in an instant. He walked to the French window with his long legs and stared at the scenery outside, his eyes full of deep thoughts. His handsome face grew solemn, nothing like the wicked look that he was wearing in front of Lola just now.

Bernard came to see Lola on purpose. Though he didn't expect her to come back while being drunk, he was even glad that he could take this chance to get closer to her. So, he misled her into thinking that they had sex last night.

"Mr. Mo?" At this time, a figure appeared at the door and respectfully called Bernard who was in the room.

"Come in."

Francis Xue, the special assistant, came in with a document in his hand.

"Mr. Mo, the films in those reporters' cameras have all been destroyed and what happened last night won't be spread out. Besides, the detailed information on Miss Nan which you ordered has been gathered."

Bernard turned to look at him, indicating him to continue.

"Lola Nan is actually the firstborn daughter of the Nan family. She has a stepsister, Lorraine Nan from her father's side. It is said that ever since her stepmother joined the family, Lorraine replaced Lola's position as the beloved daughter of the Nan family, so Lola was not treated well in the Nan family until now.

As for Lola's mother, she had a very strong family background. Her family, the Zong family, used to be a famous jewelry giant, but Lola grew up with her grandfather. Later, due to commercial concerns, she was asked to marry Patrick Jiang, the only son of the Jiang family which is the most powerful enterprise in H city. However, as soon as she joined the Jiang family, something unexpected happened."

"What happened?" Bernard asked.
