Chapter 3
A dead silence fell upon the room. Myles was even more clear about what was going on with those photos. Nola came back in a mess that night, but he didn’t expect her to come back from the hotell
(no outsiders had been present, he would have taught his shameless daughter a good lesson.
With a serious expression, Mical stared at the photos silently for a good while. Then he threw his sharp eyes at Nola and asked. “Nola, tell me the truth, Is the person in the photos you?
Nola looked at her father with no fear in her eyes. She had already anticipated the result.
“It’s me!” She smiled wryly at the disappointment on Micali’s face. As she had expected, no one would trust her
Her explanation would make no difference. She had been a slattern in the heart of everyone present.
“Micah, since Ms. Grant admitted it, I don’t think we need to think about having her as our daughter–in–law. I know that you care a great deal about the friendship between our two families. Nor do we want to break our promise. Your younger daughter. Tanya, is a good choice.”
Nola was suddenly aware of the cause and effect till now.
It was a trap set by Tanya and her mother. Arranging her to Maple Hotel was only their first step. It was apparent who took those photos when she walked out of the hotel.
Her heart turned cold in an instant. Then, Micah’s voice came into her ears, “I don’t have any problem with that, but we may ask the opinions of the two children.”
Tanya showed a hint of shyness, and she said in a soft tone, “Eh… I think we better get familiar with each other first! But I like Mrs. Lee a lot!”
“Oh, good girl! I do think fate will bring us together. You know what? She did me a big favor last time. Otherwise, I’d be scammed by the bad guy.”
Nola tumbled to the truth that they had known each other a long time ago. Under their harmonious vibe, Nola obviously became an outsider.
She clenched her fists, yet her calm smile remained on her face. Seeing that Javion had been gazing at Tanya, Nola understood everything.
“Well, looks like this is a perfect solution that meets everyone’s liking. Ladies and gentlemen, have you made up your mind?”
Nadia said with a sneer, “It’s a matter of course. Do you think we’ll take a slattern as our daughter–in–law? Who knows how
up with?” many men you once hooked
“Well. In that case, I’ll announce decision.”
my
“Your decision?”
Javion couldn’t help casting curious glances at Nola. Her delicate face was full of stubbornness and pride. He still felt that a woman should be as clingy and gentle as Tanya. That would be more pleasing to a man.
Lelia snorted and thought, “You are ashamed of yourself and are now bluffing, huh?”
“Yes, I announce that the engagement of Javion and I is abolished today!”
At her solemn announcement, the other three women burst out laughing.
Chapter 3
“You mean you still have another choice?” Nadia retorted in a sarcastic tone. “Good for you. At least you have a full understanding of yourself that you don’t deserve my son at all”
Nada’s words were as mean as her face.
Without being annoyed. Nola continued. “Mr. Javion, I’m the one who canceled our engagement, but not yout You hear
that
Javion looked at Nola in amazement, as if he had just heard a joke. He thought, “Excuse me? You broke the engagement me? That’s ridiculous!”
Nola said as she poured herself a cup of wine, “Mrs. Lee, your son is not qualified to marry me. He doesn’t deserve me
Then she gulped down the contents of her glass, leaving everyone dumbfounded. All of them thought the girl must have lost her mind to say that.
Javion was from a well-to–do family. He had never been so judged by any worman before.
Nola was a nobody, and Javion would wait and see how her life would turn out.
“Good! I hope that you won’t beg me and tell me that you regret it.”
Nola forced an elegant smile. “That day will never come. Please excuse me?”
She didn’t have any extravagant hope of meeting the true love in her life. She didn’t want to save herself from one abyss and push herself into another.
People in the Lee family didn’t like her, and they had made up their minds to break off the engagement today. Besides. Nadia even prepared those photos beforehand. Nola thought she didn’t need to let them humiliate her.
Taking a deep breath, Nola stood at the gate of the restaurant. She clung to herself in the biting wind. She had nowhere to go but to call the number of her best friend, Linda Hopkin,
After hanging up the phone, Linda immediately came to Nola. She said nothing but gave Nola a hearty hug.
“Easy! You have me with you!” They were college classmates, and Linda knew all about Nola’s struggles.
Nola didn’t need to tell Linda much. One look was enough to explain everything.
At the bustling bar, Nola was hammered for the first time. She told Linda the whole story.
Linda waved her hand and comforted. “The Lee family doesn’t even rank in the most powerful families in Rachy City. Why bother to feel sad? You deserve the most powerful man! Fuck Javion off!”
Clinked their glasses, and Nola was amused. She said with a serious tone, “That’s right! 111 marry the most powerful
man in Rachy City if I have to get married! They should go to hell!”
The occasional overindulging in alcohol made Nola so drunk that she couldn’t even stand by herself.
“Babe, I gotta
a go to the restroom. Wait for me here.”
Nola waved her hand with her mind in a fog. She had but one thought in her mind, which was to marry the most powerful
man.
She rose to her feet, staggered forward, and seized a random hand.
Elvis and his friends had a gathering here tonight. He felt it was tedious and was about to leave. Just as he passed the bar counter, his hand was grabbed by a woman. Just as he was getting angry, he saw a familiar face.

Chapter 3
It was that woman again!

Nola didn’t even recognize who she grabbed at all. She looked up, and her body wobbling. “You are not Linda! Did we…. Did we meet somewhere before?”
Elvis couldn’t help but frown. He met the woman in the hotel last time, and it was her again in the bar. Her life was kind of colorful.
Without getting an answer, Nola added with a smirk, “No! I don’t know you. But since you are such a hunk, I can tell you a
secret.”
After a long pause, she shouted, “1, Nola Grant, swear that I’ll marry the most powerful man in this city! Do you hear me?”
Elvis sneered. ‘Is she drunk? The most powerful man? You mean….. me?
Is she saying this to me on purpose?
Before he could say anything, Linda had pulled Nola away. Despite the man’s good looks, Linda was intimidated by his piercing eyes and condescending manner.
She immediately apologized, “I’m sorry! My friend was in a bad mood, and she got drunk. Please forgive her. Then Linda took Nola away.
Elvis watched the two women leave the bar, and he could still hear the murmur of that woman, “Linda, I’ll marry… the most powerful man!”
