Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 96 A Flash In the Pan

Landon Li cleared his throat and said, "Today, on my birthday banquet, I would like to introduce to you my granddaughter, who has been missing for more than twenty years. Now let's welcome her."

In rapturous applause, a woman in a court-style off-the-shoulder dress came out and amazed everyone.

In the live broadcast of the media, the camera was focused on the woman. Her slim and well-shaped body was tightly wrapped in a white lace fishtail dress.

The delicate lace fabric was inlaid with several plastic flowers. The soft gauze of the luxurious long train was also sewn with beautiful lace appliques. The pure handmade evening dress was a combination of oriental charm and western fantasy.

The woman had her long hair twisted on top and her ears decorated with delicate white flower earrings. Her face was covered with a light foundation makup. Her eyelashes looked longer with mascara. And her lips were painted in rose red lipstick.

Her charming face resembled a dazzling and fragrant epiphyllum flower that was in full bloom.

When this fairy-like woman appeared, all the guests were enthralled.

Landon Li was satisfied with the amazement that his granddaughter brought to everyone. His granddaughter must be the best!

He spoke again, "This is my granddaughter, Lola Li. I would be grateful for your care for her!"

"Please don't stand on ceremony. It is our honor to do so."

"Yes, how I envy Harold having such a beautiful daughter!"

"She looks so much like the couple!"

Hearing all the praises, Landon Li laughed heartily. "Lola, say hi to everybody."

"Hello, everyone, I am Lola Li. I'm very glad to meet you. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my grandfather's birthday banquet. Thank you!" The woman bent slightly to thank the guests.

"Look, this should be the daughter of an eminent family! Generous and polite."

"Alas, Angie, your daughter is so excellent. I want to bear a daughter!" A comrade of Angie Gong cracked a joke and laughed.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

In the laughter, the Li family welcomed another distinguished guest.

"Mr. President!"

"Good evening, Mr. President!"

The sudden appearance of Thomas Herren attracted a host of greetings. He was the supreme power-holder of A Country. Landon Li was a man of great reputation. He had invited not only senior leaders of A Country's government, but also military leaders of armed forces. Now even President Herren, the leader of A Country, came to the banquet, which made everyone envious.

"President Herren, welcome!" Accompanied by Lola, Landon Li came to greet Thomas in person.

Lola had not seen Thomas for a few years, during which he had become more mature and experienced. She nodded slightly to greet him.

"Mr. Li is low-key usually. Now that you hold the birthday banquet this year, I should not miss the chance." Thomas asked his chauffeur to hand over the birthday gift he had brought. Lola accepted the gift for her grandfather.

"Ha ha, the banquet is nothing compared to my granddaughter. I want everyone get acquainted with her and take care of her in the future. That is my sole wish!" Landon Li recalled that it was this man who had reminded him so that he was able to find his granddaughter very quickly.

"Lola, long time no see!" Thomas greeted Lola with a smile.

The intimate way he addressed Lola immediately gave rise to much discussion.

"Mr. Herren must be occupied with myriad affairs every day. Thank you for attending my grandfather's birthday banquet." The little woman only said a few words, neither servile nor overbearing. Thomas felt her change immediately.

In the past few years, Lola had become more mature and ... beautiful!

After the greetings, the guests took some food and chatted for a long time before they slowly dispersed.

Lola had to take care of Nicole, so she left not long after Thomas came.

Lola was like a flash in the pan. Her brief appearance had left a good and deep impression on the guests. And a few young military officers have been pestering Jordan to introduce Lola to them.

Joseph also followed Lola to the baby room of Nicole, as he preferred staying with his little niece than attending that kind of boring banquet.

At SL Group of D City.

Though it was already very late, Harry was still working overtime.

Joey stumbled and pushed open the door of the CEO's office. The man sitting in front of the computer gave him a cold glance. In the past few years, the boss's lethal eyes had become sharper. Frightened, Joey quickly shut the door and knocked again.

"Come in!" Hearing the faint voice from inside, Joey calmly opened the door.

However, he couldn't control his flustered footsteps when he walked to Harry's desk. "Boss, guess who I saw on the video?"

Let him guess? Harry cast a fierce look at Joey, who shivered with fear, quickly took out his cell phone and replayed the video he had just watched.

While watching the video, Harry put on a murderous look that almost sucked in Joey like a whirlpool.

After a long time, the cell phone was running out of battery. Then Joey heard Harry's voice. "The acting CEO of our company in A Country is going to retire, right?" Harry habitually picked up a cigarette and lit it.

"Yes, the next acting CEO has not yet been determined." Joey answered immediately.

"Go get ready!" The vicious woman, without saying a word, had disappeared from his life for four years. Now that you had turned up, Harry thought, you would be my prey to play with!

Joey nodded with tacit understanding. The boss had been engaged to Yolanda for four years yet had not got married! What did that mean? Joey knew about it more than anyone else! In the future, the woman in the video would be a big shot that he might rely on!

At No. 8 Pearl Spring.

All of a sudden, Harry started to transfer his career to A Country. Yolanda was very puzzled. Watching Harry busy with the handover these days, she felt that there was something wrong.

Until one night, she saw a video, in which the Li family introduced their family member that had been lost for more than twenty years. Yolanda suddenly understood what was going on.

The woman who had disappeared for four years appeared! She was a member of the Li family! Well, what an ascension of status! Joseph was her younger brother, then did Joseph know the true identity of Lola four years ago?

The video had been released just for a few days, and Harry seemed unable to hold himself back, huh... Yolanda sat in front of the dresser, wearing a bitter smile.
