Chapter 374
Chuck abruptly hung up the phone. He looked at his bed with mixed feelings.
To think about it intently, he was the one that took the initiative last night. But that woman Daisy was also to be blamed. After all, she forced herself into his house. Then her loss of virginity was a lesson to her.
Lola strolled to the maple forest where there were two lines of little golden maple trees. It stretched for over a kilometer. She stared at them in awe.
The last time she wandered in a maple forest with Harry was in Canada. At that time, they were deeply in love.
Even these little maple trees were planted here for her. Harry did it especially for her.
Maybe several years later, these little trees would pierce into the sky, and cover the blue tapestry with their majestic leaves.
Behind Lola came some footsteps. She turned back and saw the maid Elle, who was also at her age.
At the sight of Lola, she said anxiously, "Ms. Lola, there is a call from the school. Something seemed to have gone wrong. Miss Nicole asked you to answer the phone."
Nicole? Without a second thought, Lola trotted back into the mansion. She picked up the phone and uttered breathlessly, "What's wrong, dear?"
With scratches on her face, Nicole pouted her mouth and glared at the tall girl beside her whose hair
was also in mess. Hearing her mother's voice, she cried out immediately.
"Don't cry, Nicole. Tell mom what happened. Calm down, okay?" Lola could do nothing now but to anxiously listen to her daughter cry.
Nicole was sobbing heavily. "Mom, that big girl said you were a bad woman. She said you stole daddy from other women." She already beat her up, and now she wanted her mother to teach that stupid girl a lesson as well.
.... What Nicole said filled Lola with sorrow. Was she really a bad woman? Did she really stole Harry from other women? Alas, these were just some silly things that she did in the past. After all, she could not be blamed solely for it.
"Nicole, don't cry. Do you think mom is a bad woman?" She tried to comfort Nicole.
"No, you are the best! She was talking nonsense. I don't believe in any word she said and I must beat her up." Suddenly, Nicole raised her tone in an aggressive manner. Then she tossed the phone aside and pounced on the tall girl.
Two teachers hastily pulled them aside. They looked at the bad-tempered Nicole, not knowing what to do.
Lola called Nicole several times over the phone but received no answer. She could only hear Nicole's crying and shouting. So she hurriedly told Elle to call over the driver as she anxiously waited at the door.
Twenty minutes later, she arrived at the school. Led by the guards, she rushed to the teachers' office. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nicole has turned from crying to sobbing. She was nestled in the teacher's arms.
Beside her was a girl much taller than her. She was also sobbing. That girl was in a real mess! Her face was scratched, her hair was messed up, and her dress was stained all over it.
"Hello, you must be Nicole's teacher. I am her mother, Lola." She glanced at the teacher embarrassingly holding Nicole.
Hearing Lola's voice, Nicole raised her head right away and rushed towards her.
"Mom, you are finally here!" Lola then spotted two or three scratches on Nicole's face.
Nicole's teacher briefed her on what happened.
All children in the school were doing morning exercises at that time. Then the tall girl stamped on Nicole by accident. Seeing the mark on her white shoes, Nicole asked that girl to apologize to her.
But instead of apologizing, Kitty Graham just pushed her away.
That forced Nicole to lose her temper. She slapped Kitty's arm. Then they started fighting each other.
When the teachers came to intervene, Kitty was teasing Nicole, "Your dad has seen better days in his company. Your mother is a bad woman. She stole your dad from other women. Your mother is a slut! She seduced your dad."
When she heard the insult to her mother, Nicole broke free from the teachers' grip, jumped forward, pulled Kitty's hair and scratched her face.
.... Then other two teachers came to the rescue. With their help, they finally pacified the two angry kids.
When they came into the office, the arts teacher was grading the homework. Nicole poured the teacher's paint cups to Kitty. So they began scuffling again.
Just after the teacher's briefing, Kitty's mother came in.
The woman was also at Lola's age. Her hair was red in color. She was wearing some heavy makeup and black pants.
The messy look of her daughter, Kitty, broke her heart. She asked anxiously, "Oh, my baby, what happened to you? Who did this to you?"
Kitty saw her mother, then cried even louder, "Mom, Nicole hit me."
Jenny Clifford shifted her eyes to Nicole and Lola. Her heart sunk in an instant. She has spoken ill of Lola before her husband for what happened with Jordan in the hotel five years ago.
She later knew who the two women were that night. One of them became Jordan's wife and the other one was Jordan's younger sister, Lola.
Did her daughter hear of the bad thing she said of Lola? Did she spit it out just now?
For the sake of Jenny, the teacher explained again what happened earlier. Jenny's heart sank even
deeper. Indeed, her daughter should have known better than to spit out what she said of Lola.
Her husband still worked at SL and Harry was the big boss of that company. This would be so bad for their family. After thinking twice, Jenny smiled and tried to reconcile. "Sorry, Lady. These abuses were just some silly innocent things from the child. I hope you don't take it seriously."
Lola looked closely at Jenny. She seemed to have seen that woman somewhere, but she couldn't remember.
But Jenny's good attitude calmed her down a bit. "Don't talk about things you don't know, especially before children. These ill words should have never come out of a kid's mouth. Please do know that."
Lola's scolding made Jenny feel more embarrassed. She snickered, "Lady, these are things we all know. And my daughter is not the only one talking about it. You can't just criticize her like that." The internet was full of reports concerning the scandal involving her, Harry and Yolanda. And now she was playing innocent? No way!
Jenny's reply upset Lola. She retorted coldly, "I don't know who else talked about it. But I know your daughter has said such things, so I have the right to have her guardians investigated for legal responsibility."
Jenny's face turned white with fury. "Harry is about to be toppled off now. How can you still swagger here so confidently? Oh, I almost forgot. Your own family is quite influential. Jordan is a captain in the military. Maybe he will back you up?" Jordan was in Ascea. There was no way he would intervene in matters in the Uthana. Jenny knew all about it.
How did she know Jordan? That's strange... Lola looked at her confusingly. Finally, she remembered.
She familiarized herself with this woman five years ago when Wendy lost her virginity to Jordan in Dreles that night. This woman was with Jordan.
But what was she doing now in Uthana? And what did she mean by saying Harry was to be driven out of office? Did things in the company get worse? Oh, no. Harry must be in too much trouble and pressure now.
