Chapter 3 Unexpected Meetings

As they left the hospital, it started raining outside. Lolita couldn't stop thinking about what her parents had said:

"[Lolita, just agree to it!]"

"[As long as you marry her son, she promised to invest 50 million in our company. It will save our family business!]"

"[We have supported you through adoption and education for so many years. You must give back to the family!]"

Lolita looked at the hazy rain and smiled helplessly, "Yes, my parents adopted me, so this time I must give back to the family."

Although she didn't know why this old lady approached her, it seemed like she couldn't escape this time!

He was thirty, ten years older than her...

Well, he's just an older man!

Who let him have power and influence!

In the misty rain, a luxurious black car approached.

In the backseat of the Rolls-Royce, Hans leaned back, partly shrouded in the shadows, exuding an aura of nobility!

When he saw a girl running towards them, the driver immediately hit the brakes!

Lolita thought it was her Uber and rushed over to pull the car door, "Could you open the door, driver?"

Click. The door unlocked!

After getting in the car, Lolita took out tissues from her bag to wipe the rainwater off from her body and said, "Please hurry, I'm in a rush to get back."

Just as she finished speaking, Lolita noticed something was off in the atmosphere around her. This wasn't a regular taxi; the interior of the car was luxurious and private.

The driver was looking at her companion next to her. Lolita slowly turned her head:

She saw a man sitting next to her, emanating an emperor-like dignity, noble and imposing. His tall stature was adorned by a black suit.

Elegant brows and a perfect side profile.

Deep, mysterious ink-black eyes!

The oppressive aura was intimidating!

Lolita nervously swallowed and asked, "...Is this car with license plate ending in XL552?"

The man didn't reply, and the car continued.

The driver said, "No."

Well, she got into the car in a hurry earlier and didn't look carefully.

Lolita frowned and said, "Sorry, I got into the wrong car. I thought my Uber had arrived..."

She took her phone out and immediately wanted to curse.

The driver actually canceled the order?!

Boom!

There was a thunder outside, and the rain became heavier...

Lolita had to ask the terrifying man next to her, "Sir, I wonder if..."

"Where to?" The man's voice was deep and melodious, making one's heart race.

"Moon Sun Apartments on Wordsworth Street, if it's on your way, please give me a ride. If not, I'll get off right away." Lolita's heart started to beat faster.

The driver checked the navigation ahead and said, "Mr. Ford, it's on the way."

"Let's go." Hans said with a single breath.

Lolita breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you!"

The car was extremely quiet, perhaps because this businessman easily gave off a sense of seriousness, not to mention that the man next to her seemed like a big boss!

Lolita nervously wiped the rainwater off her face and neck with a tissue...

The fragrance of a young girl wafted over, causing Hans to furrow his brows. He found this woman's scent strangely familiar, reminding him of the woman who had spent the night with him in Windsor last night.

Hans glanced sideways at the woman beside him, his gaze slightly darkening. Could it be her...

"Mr. Ford, hold on tight!" The driver suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left.

"Ah!!"

Lolita screamed and was thrown into the man's arms due to inertia.

In the instant her head was about to hit the door, Hans swiftly reached out and blocked it between her head and the door. Startled, Lolita stared with wide eyes at the man protecting her.

Hans also stared at her.

A few wet strands of hair stuck to her face, her appearance naturally beautiful without any makeup.

Lolita blinked her clear eyes...

Their eyes met.

Thump!

Lolita felt her heart skip a beat!

This man is so handsome!

His eyes were as black as ink, his face had perfect proportions, and his handsome three-dimensional features seemed like a statue carved out of marble!

"Sorry, Mr. Ford, a stray cat suddenly dashed out by the roadside just now," the driver in front explained.

Hans furrowed his brows as he looked at the small woman in his arms. "You..."

"I'm sorry." Lolita immediately got out from his embrace and hurriedly said while looking outside, "I've arrived! Just stop here, thank you!"

As soon as the car stopped, Lolita got out of the car and ran. Oh my goodness, don't fall for strangers!

While Hans was still gazing at that slim figure, Secretary Brown called.

"Come, Mr. Ford, the person has already been taken care of..."

Hans slowly averted his gaze.

...

Upon returning to the apartment, Lolita was thinking about how to tell Lilian that she was moving out when she noticed that Lilian's room was already empty.

There was a note left on the table.

"I have already resigned from Windsor. Let's not contact each other anymore!"

Lolita dialed Lilian's phone number and found out that Lilian had already blocked her.

They had broken off their friendship?

Lolita muttered to herself, "It seems like she has finally found a sugar daddy!"

Lilian had always wanted to meet a wealthy man to support her and make her a star. That's why she willingly let Lolita take her place at Windsor last night, not wanting to lose her singing job at the upscale club.

Well, if that's the case, then she could do without this friend.

But just thinking about losing her innocence at Windsor last night made Lolita's mood darken slightly.

Oh well, she would just consider it a bite from a dog.

"That's it then." After packing her things, Lolita touched her neck and realized, "Hmm? Where did my jade pendant go?"

The driver from old Mrs. Ford's took the initiative to follow her outside because he was afraid she would run away. "Miss Lolita, are you done packing?"

Her ID had already been taken away by that old lady who urged her to come back and pack her luggage. Today, she was to be married off!

After searching the room, Lolita couldn't find the jade pendant, so she had to give up. "I'll be ready soon!"

...

At K&G Group, Hans looked at Lilian in front of him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Mr. Ford..."

Lilian had clearly made herself the Cinderella in a tragic drama, tearfully pleading, "Although I used to work in those entertainment clubs, I have always maintained my purity. I have been singing because of my dreams, and I hope you don't think less of me."

When Lilian saw the handsome billionaire in front of her, she had already made up her mind.

This was all destined. It was destined for her, Lilian, to replace Lolita and marry this wealthy man.

She had been jealous of Lolita all through university, and this time, she was determined to snatch this opportunity that rightfully belonged to her from Lolita's hands!

Hans elegantly sat in the center of the opposite sofa and brushed away the ash from his cigarette. "Since I touched you last night, I naturally take responsibility for you."

"Really?" Lilian finally stopped crying and smiled.

Hans narrowed his eyes and looked at the jade pendant now hanging from her neck. "Is that jade piece really yours?"

Although he was a bit drunk last night, for some reason, this woman in front of him seemed different from what he had imagined...
