Chapter 87
A look of astonishment flashed across Scott’s face. Without saying anything more to Tiffany, he took Lola’s hand and left.
Back in the car, Lola remained expressionless.
Scott still looked gentle and considerate, saying, “Layla, Tiffany is just ignorant. Don’t mind what she said. She is not worth your anger.”
“Scott, who is she? What right does she have to evaluate me and even help you accuse me?”
Lola looked up at Scott. “Does she like you!”
Scott paused for a moment, and then he was surprised.
“Layla, are you…jealous?”
Lola was stunned.
She thought, Jealous?”
When she said those words just now, she was very calm inside. She just wanted to know what kind of role Tiffany played in their lives.
Lola had no other emotions because of Tiffany. Even if there were, it would be anger because Tiffany had just wronged her.
“Layla, were you jealous because of me just now?” Scott excitedly grabbed Lola’s shoulders.
Lola looked up at him and blinked. Her eyes were clear and calm, without any other emotions.
Lola didn’t answer, so Scott thought she was shy. He felt proud, and his gaze fell on Lola’s soft pink lips.
A hint of lust gradually appeared in his eyes. He slowly leaned towards Lola and looked at her lips.
When the warm breath approached, Lola felt strange and scared.
She almost instinctively dodged Scott and pushed his hand away.
Scott was surprised.
He looked at Lola in disbelief, saying “Layla?
“We are about to get engaged. Why… Why did you push i
h me away?”
Lola didn’t know. Scott was her fiancé, and this identity seemed to have been engraved in her mind like a setting, but when he approached
her, her first reaction was to nun away.
“I’m sorry, Scott. I just think…we’re not engaged yet, and I don’t want to be in a hurry to do such an intimate thing. It’s not appropriate…”
She lowered her head and looked away from Scott’s eyes as if she was guilty.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Scott’s eyes, but he quickly hid it.
“It doesn’t matter. You are a good girl, I was rash just now.
“But there is one thing you must promişi me

Lola finally dared to look up at Scott after confirming that he wasn’t fixated on that matter.
She asked, “What?”
“Stay away from Dominick.”
Lola paused for a moment. She wanted to say something, but she finally didn’t say anything.
Dominick had just saved her life.
Seeing her hesitation, Scott said in a low voice, “Layla, I’m not stingy. I said this for your own good. There’s a lot of gossip because of Dominick, and many people have discussed you…..
“I know you wouldn’t do that, but the outsiders don’t think that way. Do you know how they are discussing you?
“Layla, listen to me. Dominick will only bring you endless trouble. There has been such a scandal. I hope you stop associating with him in the future. It will be good for everyone.”
Lola didn’t care about the rumors.
“A clean hand wants no washing, I’ve never done that. I don’t care what the public discuss
Scott couldn’t say anything to refute, but his plan would fail like this, so he thought for a while and tried another approach.
“You don’t care, but Dominick’s identity is special. Such rumors will have a great impact on him. After all, he is the Leroy Group’s president.
It’s not a secret now.
“Such scandals will cause his company’s stock to plummet, and it may cause bankruptcy.”
Lola’s expression changed a bit,
“Really?”
She actually loosened her firm attitude because of these words. Scott’s eyes turned a little cold,
As he expected, she had begun to care about Dominick.
Even though Scott was angry, he didn’t show his anger at all.
He nodded and smiled, “Yes, Dominick saved you. Although you can’t repay him with anything, it’s better not to cause him more trouble, Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
right?”
Lola thought what Scott said made sense. She didn’t know how serious this would affect Dominick, but as Scott said, if she couldn’t repay him, at least she couldn’t cause him trouble.
“I understand, thank you, Scott.”
She agreed just because she didn’t want Dominick to be affected by her.
It was dishonorable to keep Lola away from Dominick in this way. The jealousy in Scott’s heart was more like a match, which ignited his rage instantly.
But Scott had no other choices. To prevent Lola and Dominick from developing further, he could only use this method.
Lola didn’t see the chill flash across Scott’s eyes.
Early the next morning, Ethan excitedly went to Lola’s room.
“Layla, I’m going to attend the annual meeting of my friend’s company. companion and come with me?”
I heard that there are activities and desserts. Will you be my female
Lola was idle at home every day, so her eyes lit up when she heard this. “Okay!”
Ethan took Lola to buy a dress and put on light makeup. At about five o’clock in the afternoon, he took her and set off
“Layla, you really look like a princess,” Ethan couldn’t help but praise.
Lola smiled, “Thanks. You look like a prince.”
Through the rearview mirror, Lola saw her face. She wore light makeup and a delicate crown, looking noble and beautiful.
But she thought Ethan’s words were so familiar…
“Do you think you
you are a real princess just because you dress like a princess…”
This voice suddenly came into Lola’s mind.
“Layla, are you okay?” Ethan saw Lola’s pale face and quickly held her arm.
“I’m fine. I was just in a daze.” Lola didn’t understand what was going on, so she didn’t tell Ethan the truth.
The car stopped downstairs at the building downtown. She looked around and turned to ask Ethan, “Ethan, it seems that your friend is a powerful one.”
A mysterious look flashed across Ethan’s face. “You will know
Lola held Ethan’s arm and walked into the building elegantly.
“Mr. Lewis, you…”
w who it is. My friend is a people person.”
Henry was guarding at the entrance and not allowing outsiders to come in. When he saw Ethan, he went over to greet him. Unexpectedly. Lola was there, too.
He almost called her “Mrs. Sinclair, but he finally changed.
“Welcome, Mr. Lewis, Ms. Mitchell Please come in,”
“Ms. Mitchell?” Lola repeated, as if asking Henry, more like asking herself.
