Chapter 5369
Lola Hoffman glanced at Harvey York before scoffing.
“Saul told you about my first love too?
“Come. Let’s have a drink.”
Lola dragged Harvey into the manor’s living room.
Harvey rolled his eyes before involuntarily following Lola inside.
The room was quite dim, with only the fireplace in the corner radiating heat.
Lola asked a few servants to prepare a few dishes and a bottle of Latour wine, then changed into her casual clothes before casually sitting opposite Harvey.
Lola’s legs and deep cleavage were slightly visible. Her face seemed a lot more alluring with the alcohol affecting her.
Harvey quickly looked away while swirling his glass around.
“It’s unseemly for us to be drinking alone here, right?”
Harvey bitterly chuckled when he touched his nose. He really did not want to tag along if it was not for Lola.
Surely, there would be rumors spreading about a man and a woman being alone together.
“Didn’t you want to mediate the situation between me and Saul?”
Lola gave a faint smile while staring at Harvey.
“I’ll tell you everything, but you can’t tell Saul about this.” Harvey frowned.
“Are you going to tell me you’re in love with Rohan again?
“Was Saul right about everything?”
Harvey gazed coldly.
Lola let out a scoff.
“So, that narrow-minded man really told you everything.
“Let me say this.
“Rohan was the only one I had dinner with…
“But there were at least fifty people around us while we dined.
“Do you think anything could’ve happened then?”
“Is that so?
Harvey froze.
“Then again, isn’t it inappropriate for you to be drinking right now?”
“My doctor told me that it’s good for the child if I drink since it regulates the hormones in my body.
Lola gave a shrug.
“The child isn’t just Saul’s. It’s also mine.
“I wouldn’t be this irresponsible now, would I?
“I only met with Rohan for the family event.
“You should know that because of the John family’s rise to power, even with the Patel family and the six Hermit Families combined, we might not be able to win against them.
“The Hoffman family event is our biggest opportunity.
“If we can get my family to support us…
“Even if we aren’t able to crush the John family, at least we’d dissuade them from acting against us.
“The family event isn’t just a simple meeting…
“This is a chance for the Patel family, the six Hermit Families, and the Hoffman family to sign cooperation agreements.
“These agreements will protect the Patel family and the Hermit Families.
“I met with Rohan to discuss the details.
“He told me that he’d also fully support me.
“Of course, you can’t mention this to Saul.
“If not, based on his attitude, he probably wouldn’t accept any help from my family.
“In his eyes, this is simply patronizing…”
