Before Vana could say something, Luther, who was standing next to Hanson, looked at Lola nervously and said, “Lola, are you going home after dissolution? Why don’t you go out to have dinner with us? My brother knows the head chef of Michelin restaurant. He can cook a lot of delicious food for us.”
When Lola heard this, she asked in disbelief, “Does your brother really know such a good cook?”
“Yes. What do you think, Lola? Do you want to go with us?”
Lola hesitated for a while, it could tell that she was attracted by Luther’s words. Vana was worried that Lola would agree. If so, she couldn’t find an excuse not to go.
But in the end, Lola shook her head and said, “No, thanks. My brother is still waiting for us there. We have an appointment to go home together.”
After Lola said that, Luther was a little confused. “You have a brother?”
Lola replied with proud immediately, “Yes, it’s Ethan. He ranked second place with me just now. Is he awesome? Besides, he is a black belt in Taekwondo and the main force of our school’s football team.”
Did Vana hear it wrong? It was surprised that Lola could see the strengths of Ethan. Vana had never heard of this before.
Luther was a little shocked when he heard that. He hurriedly grabbed hold of Lola who was about to leave and asked, “You said that Ethan is your brother? Was he really one of your relatives or you just call him brother? If you just call him so, I can also be your brother, and I’m also very powerful. If my brother didn’t give you the answer, I would definitely be the first one. I’m also very powerful, aren’t I?”
“Yes, you are very powerful, but you are not my brother, and it’s Ethan who is my brother.” As soon as she finished her words, she pulled out her arm from Luther and said to Vana with a sweet smile, “Auntie, let’s go to find my brother Ethan!”
Vana smiled awkwardly and looked at Hanson. It was too late to say sorry to him, and then she was quickly pulled away by Lola. Luther was still trying to persuade Lola to stay, but she just turned a deaf ear to Luther’s voice.
Soon, Lola and Vana found Ethan and Simon. When Simon saw Vana came over, he glanced at Hanson, who was not far behind Vana. Then he asked in a low voice, “Does Luther want to give the toy bear to Lola?”
Vana was surprised. She didn’t expect that Simon could guess it out, so she nodded and said, “yes, but Lola doesn’t want that toy bear.”
Ethan said angrily, “Luther is so bad. He even wants to buy off Lola just with a toy bear.”
Vana: ‘Excuse me? Was it who wanted to make Lola happy with that bear? Did you get amnesia?’
However, as soon as Ethan finished his words, Lola’s disdainful voice came through, “humph, Luther won the prize anyway, okay? Who is like you coward, who doesn’t even have a prize? And I warn you, I got the Lego on my own ability. It doesn’t mean that you gave it to me. I still fought for it myself, understand?”
Vana: a black face with a question mar. Was it who called “brother Ethan” so sweet just now?
Vana was really surprised. How could children nowadays have so many thoughts? She was watching the big play of the year.
Lola definitely was an arrogant queen. It seemed that Ethan would suffer a lot in the future. Vana felt sympathetic for him.
Looking at the expression on Ethan’s face, it was obvious that he was depressed. However, Lola was just studying Lego in her arms as if it was none of her business to. Seeing that Vana had nothing to say, Simon said to them and Edwin, “it’s a rare chance for us to meet today. Why don’t you go to my house to celebrate the festival? Vana hasn’t had a party for a long time.”
As soon as Simon finished his words, Ethan swept away his previous disappointment and cried out “Okay” together with Lola. Vana was also very happy, so she looked expectantly at Edwin and the butler beside her. Edwin did not disappoint her and nodded to agree.
Then they took their own cars and left respectively. Because Vance had left in advance, Lola and Vana took the car of Simon back. Edwin’s car followed them closely, and they returned to the No. 7 Golden Seat of the HJ Empire together.
In the evening, they ate the Double Ninth Cake and chrysanthemum tea together. Simon also asked someone to arrange a barbecue in the yard. They had a good time. It was not until ten o’clock in the evening that Edwin left with Lola, and this day had ended so happily.
In the following few days, the jewelry case was still under investigation. In order to cooperate with the previous plan, Vana didn’t go to work in the shopping mall anymore, but she was not idle either. During the day when Simon went to work, she had an appointment with Vivian to go out to ride around, and at night, she stayed at home with Simon to watch TV and play games. They lived in harmony, and she had never planned to go back to her rental house. This was a very satisfactory result in the eyes of Simon.
It was not until the Sunday of the second week that Terence sent a shocking news to Vana. Terence and Steve had searched for her rental house and dormitory according to the requirements of Vana, but there was no result. They were still suspecting whether the report was wrong. Today, they received an anonymous report, saying that Vana had allied with Julie before to steal the “Sprout” series jewelry worth about one million, and after they got it, they decided to continue to steal “Sprout 01”. The anonymous informer also said that “Sprout 01” might be in Julie’s hands at this time, hoping to arrest Julie as soon as possible.
On the other end of the phone, Terence asked Vana how to operate. After thinking for a while, Vana decided to say, “you ask someone to bring Julie here now. I’ll wait for her at the cafe on the street across the World Trade Mall. Then you’d better go to search Julie’s residence and announce the result to the public.”
Terence agreed. After hanging up the phone, Vana asked her driver to send her to the North Island Cafe on the opposite street of World Trade Mall. Then she ordered a cup of coffee and waited for Julie’s arrival while playing mobile games.
Vana sat in the coffee shop for more than 10 minutes. Julie, who was originally near the World Trade Mall, was sent here by Terence. When Julie saw that it was Vana waiting for her, she was even more confused and guessed the relationship between Vana and Terence.
It was not until Terence greeted to Vana and left that Julie was taken back from astonishment and asked, “what did Mr. Terence call you just now? Mrs… Mrs… Mrs. Vana? You… You are…”
Vana let Julie sit down, took a sip of coffee, licked her lips and said, “don’t be surprised. Just take me as your colleague. I have something important to ask you today.”
However, Julie was still curious about who Vana was. She couldn’t focus on anything important.
Seeing Julie’s reaction, Vana smiled helplessly and said, “well, I can tell you the truth. In fact… I’m married and my husband has a high social status. So Mr. Terence calls me Mrs. Vana to show his respect.”
Julie breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I knew it. So I heard rumors that a maid went to the market to bring you soup and it was because a CEO and you did that sexual thing so fiercely. It seems that it’s true?”
Vana almost spat out a mouthful of coffee. She quickly wiped her mouth to hide her embarrassment and asked Julie, “is this how the rumor about me like?”
Julie shook her head and said innocently, “No! Other people in the counter all said that you were kept by a rich man, and then you deliberately asked the maid to come over and bring you soup. Although they said so, I think they are actually envious of you. Besides, last time, you clarified the misunderstanding that you had a one-night stand with Sally’s boyfriend. But they still said that it was you who take the initiative to have an appointment with him.”
Vana was too shocked to think. Those women had seen the truth, but they were still unwilling to believe her.
She really didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment. It seemed that she couldn’t continue to stay in the mall. She had to work hard to enter the design department and stay away from these crazy women.
