"What on earth is going on here Carl?" They grey-haired old woman asked in a hurry leaving the two people not knowing how to tell her.

Carl Li opened his mouth but was closed back , as he did not want to worry his mother at such an old age.

"Grandma, please don't worry..."Lola Li went to her grandmother,not knowing how to comfort her though.

"How could I not worry about it? The news has been reported on several channels today. What's going on in the company? Tell me now!"

Although Katharine Rong was old , she used to dominate in the business world ,when she was young. With a serious facial expression,she hit the ground with her walking stick, making his son and granddaughter hearts beat faster.

"Mother , don't be angry take care of..........."

The old lady had a heart disease and should not get angry. But Carl Li could not finish what he was saying and was interrupted by Katharine Rong.

" Nonsense. I know my own health status"

"Just as you know mother, I have lost our company in the hands of Jacob Qi and his son."said Carl Li he sighed.

His mother and his wife had made great contributions to the company . What happened made him feel ashamed to face his mother and his dead wife.

He was in the middle age, but was betrayed by his closet friends that he had trusted so much.

"Why? Did you really commit the crime? Or were you cheated? "Katharine Rong was very sure that her son would never do bad things .

However, she could not figure out other reasons why things happened like this. Jacob Qi and his son had this planned for many years . She thought, Jacob Qi had a grudge against Carl Li because of what happened 20 years ago.

More than twenty years ago. They regarded each other as real brothers. However, they loved the same woman. Lavender Ray , Lola Li's mother and his son's wife. Both of them crazily ran after her, as she was elegant and graceful just like Lola Li.
