Chapter 212 So Powerful
With a happy gaze, L kissed her daughter on the cheeks again. After greeting and doing the usual
small talk with her parents and grandfather, she hurriedly sat on the sofa. "Nicole, how is everything
going in school? Are you having fun with your teacher and ssmates? Do you listen to what your
teacher says? Are you a good girl in school?", L asked, obviously missing her daughter so much.
Angie remembered something and her look became somewhat strange. She heard Nicole said,"
Mommy, I have hit a boy because he lifted my skirt. You told me once that boys should not lift girls''
skirt. It''s not good, right?" Nicoleined in a very angry tone.
Hearing Nicole voice out ain made L shudder a bit. Her baby girl was surely growing up now.
L looked intently at her daughter and replied, "Are you hurt, did he hit you back?"
"How dare he do this to my daughter? He should be hit in the face too!" L thought.
Nicole chuckled andughed. "Oh, I''m fine. But I did bite him!"
She looked at herughing daughter and shook her hand. "But next time it happens again, you should
tell the teacher so the boy will stop. Okay?"
Angie was listening to her granddaughter''s recount of the day and was very amused. Looking at his
elder brother and imagining what happened, L grinned and said, "Brother, you are so powerful!"
Angie stared at her daughter and interrupted, "What do you mean by being powerful? It was him who
should deal with that and not make any trouble! It''s time to marry your friend so as to control him."
All of a sudden, Angie took out a piece of paper from the drawer and passed it to L. "Look, select
one of the dates from these three!"
Asking L to choose the date? Really? L looked back at her brother. Jordan said in a very calm
tone, "I''m OK with these three days. No worries."
...
L have been worrying about this wedding for some time. Would Wendy be happy if she marry L''s
brother? Jordan did not want to show his emotions and was a bit conservative.
"Brother, Wendy is my best girlfriend. Could you be more concerned about your wedding and be more
active in preparing for it?"
Jordan abruptly picked the paper from L''s hand and said, "Then, that''s the date!" He selected the
date in the middle.
L counted the days. It would be just within the month.
"The wedding ceremony will be prepared and organized by mother. I will volunteer to be the one taking
pictures. That will do, I guess." L thought.
Landon began to protest, "L, I think we should think through your business first. There''s a lot going
on in this city these days."
Almost everyone knew what happened to his granddaughter. He could not understand why young
people are so high-profile and outgoing.
Patting Nicole''s cute little hand, L replied, "I needed to do it and I wanted to prove to the world that I
am not to me and that I''m saying the truth. I have no regrets. For Nicole, I would not let Harry go!"
Angie thought for a while after hearing that, and warned L. "Rose is not an easy-going woman. I
won''t agree that she will be your mother-inw! That woman is crazy!"
Rose was a very aggressive woman who always got what she wanted. L would just be bullied if she
married Harry.
Landon couldn''t agree more for he had met Rose several times already. He thought his granddaughter
would just be a rag being crumpled and put dirt on if she married Harry. He should not let this marriage
happen.
"Mother, Rose was cruel to me because of Ynda! Now that she knows the truth, maybe she would
change." If Rose knew she had a granddaughter, she would be happy!
Angie saw that L was thinking and immediately decided not to argue anymore. She just warned her.
"It''s up to you. But tell us when you are in need. We will always support you!"
L nodded and remembered that Jenny Shan met her this morning. She took the ring out of her bag
and passed it to her grandfather.
"Danny Fang''s mother gave it to me and said it would be useful when we search for the secret of this
old pocket watch in Mando Bay."
Hearing the mention of the Mando Bay, Jordan frowned and wondered why they should even go to that
ce.
"Mrs. Fang?" Landon was deep in his thoughts and finally understood.
"Grandfather, what on earth is the secret of the old pocket watch? I am very curious." L began to be
more and more interested in it. Was there a treasure connected to the secret?
After a second of thought, Landon said, "Your grandmother had once said when she was alive that this
watch contains great treasure inherited from her descendants. But it needs an important part of the
watch and a picture to open the treasure."
It''s a treasure! Fantastic! One day, would she be tasked to go on an adventure and look for it?
"But, I don''t want to search for it!" She responded decisively. She didn''t want to go there because it was
dangerous. It would be worthless to be murdered just because of finding a treasure that they were not
sure to be true.
Landon shook his head and looked at her granddaughter seriously. "I wouldn''t permit you to look for it
before. It was too dangerous. But now, as more and more people knew the secret of the watch, if you
give up looking for it and put it to the world, you will be in danger everywhere and every time."
The facts made all the people hush in silence. They were all thinking the same thing. Would that day
come?
On the next day, L waved goodbye to Nicole, sent her to Jordan''s car, and went to work. Once she
parked her car in the temporary parking lot, she saw numerous people in the front of thepany
building. It was an unusual sight.
What had happened?
Someone in the front line of the crowd shouted, "Miss Li ising! She is here!"
L was suddenly surrounded by all the people who were wearing microphones and holding cameras.
Yes, they were journalists...
"Miss Li, please do tell us if the photo circted by Lillian is true. Did that really happen?"
Nopanies dared to report entertainment news about Harry before. Harry was that influential. "As it
is proven that Lillian''s office doesn''t get into trouble, we dare to interview you today. Did that mean that
Harry agrees?"
"Miss Li, what do you want to say about bearing all the negative images from the public all these
years?"
"Miss Li, Mr. Si will marry Ynda. Will you allow that?"
"Was the child who you were with in the amusement park the same child that you and Harry Si gave
birth to?"
...
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
L listened to all the questions in a calm outside appearance but her mind was all messed up. All
these years, people had seen her in a negative way and had not paid much attention to her. She was
not used to this.
Because of Harry''s permission especially regarding his actions in Lillian''s publishing office, almost all
the journalists in the city came today!
If she didn''t say a word about what she feels, would she be unfair and unreasonable? Or be so hard to
deal with?
She then smiled to one of the cameras and said in a sophisticated and reassuring manner, "Good
morning, everyone. We are in the grounds of mypany. As an acting CEO, it is not suitable to
answer any of your questions about my private life here. We have to maintain our professionalism at all
times. Please pay more attention to SL and support the group. Thank you!"
"Miss Li, can I have a second with you for a one-on-one interview?"
"Yes, Miss Li. Although you''re not in the entertainment circle anymore, you still have a lot of fans who
want to hear from you. Just for them, can I ask you some questions?"
...
In that very moment, a group of guards came to the aid of L and helped her find rush through the
entrance door. "I apologize but I have been busy with my work recently. If any journalists want to ask
me about something, please contact with my assistant, Leo Zhu and he will respond to your questions.
Thank you!" With that, L stepped into the building with guards on both of her sides.
