Chapter 172 A Beauty like You Dies Young


    Jordan nodded and then turned to his sister: "L, could you pleasee to the study when you''re


    done eating?"


    Upon hearing this, L quickly finished her congee and wiped her mouth clean. Then she bent over to


    Nicole, kissing her on her chubby cheeks. "My dear baby, you sit here and eat. Be a good girl. I will talk


    to your uncle and be back in just a while."


    Nicole stared at her and just nodded indifferently.


    In the study.


    Hearing L''s footsteps, Jordan took out a pistol from the drawer, looked over at L and gave it to


    her. "Take it and protect yourself. If youe across something that you could not handle, let me know


    and I''ll be there."


    Cautiously, L quickly put the pistol in her bag. Her previous gun was given to Harry.

    "Brother, I''m quite anxious they would find out that you were the one involved in the incidentst night."


    She was getting really worried about the issue.


    Jordan took a deep nce at his sister. "It''s not an issue anymore. He already took care of it."


    "He?", L thought to herself. "Harry?"


    "Also, the guys in jail confessed that they were sent by someone named Sara." Without hesitation, he


    shared this information to his sister to stop her from worrying.


    L let out a bit of a smile and said, "Is this what Harry found out in his investigation?"


    Jordan shook his head and exined: "Well, he did say that. But I also have some connections in the


    police station and it is true that the criminals confessed."


    L shook her head in disagreement. "Brother, I believe it was not Sara. It was the woman you kicked


    last night. Her name is Ynda Mo and she is the ringleader!"


    "Such cunning method of clearing off responsibility! They even had the guts to pin the me on Sara


    who prostitute herself in D City!", L shockingly pondered to herself.


    Jordan heard her words and frowned. He had recently heard about Ynda, an international celebrity,


    who was also the so-called fiancee of Harry Si.


    "I will go and collect the evidence for you."


    L thought for a while and declined: "No need for that. I can do it. Ynda and I have a long history of


    knowing each other. I will try my best to hunt her down myself!" If she could not solve the issue, then


    she might turn for his help. But for now, she did not want to risk her family by getting them involved.


    Jordan looked at his sister who looked determined and calm, then nodded in approval. "If youe


    across anything, just call me. If I am not avable, then call father! Your family will always back you up!"


    In a gesture of appreciation, L went closer towards her brother and gave him a big hug. "Brother,


    words could not describe how thankful I am to you."


    Jordan''s lips curled up as he was rarely pleased like this. He gently pat on her hand and said, "One of


    my boys drove your car backst night. Now you should hurry to work!"


    "Sure thing!" L hastily got the car key and ran out of the study. After all, her family was the only thing


    she could count on! She was already so lucky that her foster parents treated her as their own daughter.


    Now her birth parents also treat her the same! This is so great!


    In SL Group.


    L entered the building and was at the lobby when her presence was immediately felt by the people


    around her.


    She wore a white top with a ck id high waist maxi skirt and ck high heels which were further


    emphasized by her long white jacket.


    Her eyes were a little bit reddish. Thanks to a thinyer of foundation she put on, she was able to


    brighten herplexion. However, her eyshes were curly and long and her soft, red lips were very


    enticing.


    The deputy CEO was known for her high-end fashion taste. However, due to her recent cold


    expressions, the staff thought she resembled the CEO way too much now...


    Some of them forced themselves to understand her well. They believe that the reason for her to look so


    grumpy was because of the CEO''s mother causing quite a scene in thepany.


    In the meeting room.


    Aside from the senior management, both Ynda and Joseph were present. L dismissively looked


    at Ynda. After a brief moment of awkward connection, she then nced away.


    Ynda made her suffer a lotst night. But she bet that Ynda suffered more from Jordan''s kick!


    It was indeed the case! "Ahem ahem ahem..." Ynda turned her back from them, obviously to let out


    a painful series of coughs.


    "Miss Mo, howe you are not feeling well?" Ynda gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Not


    feeling well? Thanks to the wrench''s brother!"


    Last night, she was heavily wounded and could not even walk straight. Luckily for her, Nael came in


    time and helped her to escape. Otherwise, she would be sent to prison as well!


    She put up a fake yet elegant smile: "Miss Li, don''t read too much on the situation. This minor cough is


    not something I cannot easily handle."


    L sat on her own seat and stared at her. "If you are suffering from just a minor cough, you''d better


    not hang around outside at night. It would make the cough worse. It would be such a shame if a


    beautiful being like you dies young!"


    A beauty like you dies young...


    The senior management were all smart people. They instantly understood the meaning behind their


    deputy CEO''s words.


    For a moment, the meeting room was dead quite. Ynda was so angry that she could not say


    anything back. Not even one in the senior management dared to break the silence. As far as they


    know, these twodies hate each other so much.


    "Miss Li, don''t you worry even a bit. I am in perfect health!" Under the table, Ynda clenched her fist


    in anger.


    Pretending not to hear anything, L randomly scanned through the documents and no longer paid


    attention to her.


    After some time, Joey opened the door and Harry walked in.


    Walking with an air of authority, he cast a nce at the crowd and said, "Today is thest day we work


    in cooperation with these two celebrities. All the follow-ups are to be done by the end of the day."


    Then he carried on, "From now on, your deputy CEO, Miss Li, will be in charge of the morning


    meetings as I might return to the headquarters in C Country sometime in the future. I hope everyone


    can demonstrate your talents, as I know how skilled you are. During my time here, I won''t miss my


    chance seeking some real talents!"


    Was he implying that he would leave for C Country any day from now?


    L nkly stared at the documents on the table and thought to herself that under the pressure of


    time, there was nothing left between them anymore. "No wonder he gave up and decided to leave


    everything behind…", she muttered to herself.


    Gradually, everyone began leaving the meeting room and Joseph casually walked up to his sister who


    was not in her usual self.


    "Sister, don''t think too much. We don''t know for sure when he will leave!" Joseph knew very well what


    was on his sister''s mind and tried his best tofort her.


    L shook her head. Toote, he no longer cared about her...


    "Will Ynda leave for D City soon?" She asked.


    Joseph nodded: "She still has an on-going contract with thepany over there. So, I think that she


    must return."


    She needed to take advantage of the remaining time. It might be a good chance. But after everything


    that happened, she doubted whether he would be willing to be close to her again.


    "I just have one simple request. Go and send a bunch of baby''s breath to Ynda. Make sure it is


    delivered to her in person!" She heard that Ynda hated baby''s breath flowers the most. There must


    be a reason.


    Joseph was confused but he called his assistant and ordered a bouquet anyway. He made sure that


    the bouquet would be delivered to Ynda in person.


    Well, they immediately found out why. The delivery guy delivered a big bunch of baby''s breath to


    Ynda''s studio and chased after her, trying to ask for her signature in the form.


    Ynda did everything to avoid being close to the flowers. However, the delivery guy insisted that she


    hold the bouquet. He caught her off guard and shoved the flowers in her arms.


    Ynda was sent to the hospital and everyone witnessed the incident.


    Harry and Rose immediately went over to the hospital to check on Ynda. She was in a lot of pain


    and lookedpletely ugly with red rashes all over her body.


    Ynda was allergic to baby''s breath since a child and she stayed away from embarrassment by


    keeping it as a secret. Lying on the ward bed and weeping really hard, she angrily used L of the


    trick.


    Harry remorsefully thought of L''s temper and agreed that this looked like something she would do.


    He remained silent while Rose cursed her in great anger.


    Hearing these hurtful words, Harry became uneasy and unwell. He promptly stood up and was about to


    leave the room.


    "Harry! Where are you going? Ynda is still sick!" He ignored Rose''s words and left the hospital.


    "Maybe Ynda and L are just so opposite from each other. This would always spell trouble and


    conflict between them. What should I do?", Harry said these to himself as went out the hospital


    door.
