Ch. 101..105: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 101-105

Chapter 101

Leah did not mean to argue with Han. Moreover, she was the one who hurt him. It was understandable that he was angry at her. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Let me go, Han. If you hate to see me so much, then I should just leave.”

She did not expect that after listening to her words, he squinted, pinched her chin, and asked, “Are you angry with me?”

Leah was speechless. When she finally found the words to say, she heard the click-clack-click-clack of high heels down the corridor. Her expression sank when Molly’s face flashed in her mind.

I can’t be discovered by Molly. If she sees me with Han, she won’t forgive me.

Han noticed the change in her expression. “Are you scared?” he looked at her sarcastically. “If you beg me, I’ll help you.”

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Leah gritted her teeth hard and glared at him.

The door of the ward was opened, and Molly walked in. She looked around the surroundings secretly. Hmm, weird. Didn’t the nurses on duty tell me they saw Han grabbing a woman? Why don’t I see anyone else inside?

Han looked the same, sitting on the bed and looking at her impassively. There was no other woman in the room except Molly.

However, she could smell a faint scent of daisies.

It’s summer now. Why is there a daisy fragrance here? Where’s the woman?

“What’s wrong?” Han’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. She turned her head and looked at Han, who was staring at her impatiently. Molly smiled. Knowing that he was in a bad mood today, she

put the insulated flask on the bedside table and took out the chicken soup from inside. “Han, I specially asked my nanny to cook it for you.”

Listening to the sounds from outside, Leah, who was hiding in the bathroom, was so nervous that her heart was pounding rapidly. She listened to Han’s monotonous tone accepting Molly’s soup and the sound of him taking a small sip of chicken soup. For a moment, she nearly forgot she was hiding.

Molly walked toward the bathroom. Han knotted his eyebrows and suddenly toppled over the bowl of chicken soup in his hands.

“Han, what’s wrong? You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?” Molly asked him worriedly.

Han shook his head and took out another set of patients’ clothes from the drawer. He got out of bed and ordered, “I’m going to change my clothes in the bathroom. You can clean up the bed.”

Molly did not mind Han ordering her around. She packed the things slowly and discreetly shot glances at Han but did not see any unusual behavior. He walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind him.

“Han, you…” Leah was shocked when she saw Han come in. She was about to speak when Han covered her mouth and hinted at her to be silent. She blinked her eyes while looking at him in confusion. Yet, she just did as he ordered. He nodded in satisfaction. The next second, he took off his clothes and began to change.

Leah was speechless. Nevertheless, she has to admit that his body was well-built. Leah briefly glanced at his impeccably-crafted muscles and shifted her gaze away. She somehow felt flustered looking at him.

Han laughed, “Why are you acting shy? It’s not like you’ve never seen it.”

Feeling that he was too bold, she threw a few stares at him. Han’s mood lightened when he saw that.

Noticing that Han was really going inside the washroom to change his clothes, Molly’s doubts were dispelled. She finished packing up and said, “Han, I’m leaving.”

“Okay,” he responded coldly.

Molly finally left, and Leah sighed in relief. She thanked him and prepared to leave. Suddenly, the man grabbed her. She could tell he had a disapproving frown on her face.

“What’s wrong?” Leah was confused.

Han did not know what was going on either. He subconsciously wanted to stop her from leaving. He paused for a moment before asking, “I’ve helped you, so how can you repay me?”

“How do you want me to repay you?”Leah retorted calmly.

After so many encounters, she could barely feel anything when Han confronted her.

Yet, Han knew nothing about that. He thought that Leah was reluctant to compromise.

Maybe she still likes me, Han thought happily. He thought for a while and said, “I have no idea. For now, you owe me a favor.”

Leah would rather not deal with him, but she did not have a say in it.

After leaving the hospital, Leah was somehow disturbed. She could feel that something was about to happen, but she could not predict what it was.

The next few days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Saturday when Leah was supposed to go with Christopher to fetch Mr. Crawford at the airport. When they arrived there, Leah was

extremely nervous. Christophe noticed that and consoled her with a smile. Finally, the plane finally landed.

Leah saw an old man in a suit walking toward them with a stern face. Noticing Christopher, the old man lifted his chin and nodded to him, “Christopher.”

“It’s been a long time since we last met, Mr. Crawford. You’re still as energetic as ever.” Christopher walked toward Ryan and hugged him.

Leah felt an odd sense of familiarity when Leah she saw Ryan. However, she did not know where she last met him.

“This way, please.” Christopher led Mr. Ryan to Leah. Ryan’s gaze fell onto the young woman. He seemed to be thinking something when he saw her.

“This is Sarah White from the White family. She’s also the young jewelry designer I wanted to introduce to you.”

“The White family? Which White family?” Ryan narrowed his eyes.

“It’s an honor to meet you, sir. My father is Gordon White,” Leah answered him meekly.

The eagerness in Mr. Ryan’s gaze seemed to die down a little after Leah mentioned his father’s name.

“How old are you?”

Leah felt strange. Why does Mr. Ryan want to know my age? However, she honestly replied, “I’m twenty-three.”

“Hmm, so you’re twenty-three years old…” Mr. Ryan commented. “At such a young age, you managed to get recognition from Christopher. I bet you must be quite capable.”

Leah was embarrassed by his comments. “No, you’re flattering me. I have so much to learn yet.”

“Hmph, I’m not flattering you. I’ll know your capability after looking at your designs.” Mr. Ryan did not beat around the bush.

Noticing the situation, Christopher hurried over and said with a smile, “You must look at her designs, Mr. Crawford. I believe my judgment is right.”

Ryan shot a glance at him. “Why? Is she your girlfriend?”

Chapter 102

After hearing Ryan’s question, Christopher seemed taken aback. He shook his head and chuckled, “No, I met her online.”

It was somewhat dramatic how Leah and Christopher became friends. Leah loved jewelry design, and before she married Han, she used to be a freelance designer to earn a living. After all, Charlie would never give her money for her college tuition.

She remembered the night before she married Han when she drew her last work with joy.

Han did not like her to be involved in such “meaningless” things, so she gradually stopped drawing and focused on becoming the Madam of the Howard family. However, Leah has a Twitter account, where she would occasionally post sketches and designs out of boredom. That was how Christopher became friends with Leah. When Christopher first approached her, Leah thought he was a scammer. It took him a lot of effort for him to convince Leah he was not, and they became good friends after that.

While chatting, she learned that Christopher was the boss of a listed jewelry company. In the jewelry industry, and in fact, he was one of the biggest industry players in Linkville. Of course, this was not the first time Christopher offered Leah the opportunity to work with him. After troubles started appearing in the White family, Leah wanted to rejoin the jewelry design industry, so she brought her design to meet Christopher.

Ryan reacted vaguely after listening to how they met. In the car, he asked her, “Are you married?”

Leah was not perturbed. She could now face the question calmly, regardless if the person asking the question had any malicious intentions. “Yes,” she answered.

“You’re not divorced, are you?” Ryan asked again.

Leah looked at him apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mr. Crawford, I don’t really want to talk about that.”

Ryan shook his head. “I’m the one who should apologize.” After all, a normal person would find those questions offensive.

No one spoke for the next few minutes until Ryan eventually broke the silence. “I heard that your father…”

“Yes, my father passed away two months ago,” Leah replied calmly. She thought he would say “I’m sorry to hear that,” like how usually people would. Yet, he did not.

Ryan nodded to show his acknowledgment. Even though Ryan did not react much, Leah thought he seemed interested in her family affairs.

The three of them went to the restaurant where Christopher had a reservation. After dinner, Leah showed Ryan the design she had brought along. Unsurprisingly, as soon as Ryan saw her design, he was amazed by her work.

It was already night by the time they left the restaurant. Leah bade farewell to Christopher and called a taxi home.

Before she left, Ryan suddenly stopped her. “Young lady, do you mind inviting me to your house?”

Leah wondered why Ryan made that request.

Although confused, Leah said out of courtesy, “You can stay the night, if you don’t mind.”

Christopher overheard their conversations and stared at Ryan, “Mr. Crawford, you…”

Ryan raised his hand to stop him from talking. Even though Ryan had planned to visit the Xavier family, he suddenly changed his mind. After that, Christopher drove the two back to the White residence.

A black Bugatti was parked In front of the White residence. The car owner was sitting in the driver’s seat, smoking. It was Han. He had been drinking a little, and though he wanted to go home, he somehow found himself in front of the White residence.

He looked up at the slightly dim light in the villa and lowered his gaze as though thinking about something. He had a phone in his hand, and on the lit screen was Leah’s number. He had been trying to call her, but she did not answer. He knew she could not have gone to bed so early, at nine o’clock in the evening.

While still deep in his thoughts, another car stopped in front of the villa. The door opened, and a man stepped out with Leah following behind him.

Han narrowed his gaze slightly. The ash from his cigarette fell on his pants, but he did not notice it at all.

“Ah!” Leah suddenly exclaimed. When Christopher heard her exclamation, he immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”

Leah smiled awkwardly at him. “My hair is tangled in the seat belt.”

Christopher smiled and walked over to help her. The two people were very close together, so close that Christopher could even smell the faint perfume fragrance on her body. He was suddenly a little nervous, and his palms were sweaty.

When he finally untangled her hair from the seatbelt, he noticed a sharp gaze staring at him from behind. He turned around and tried to find it but saw nothing.

Out of a sudden, a car rushed toward them at a high speed, as if wanting to kill them both. Christopher instinctively shielded Leah with his body. The car passed by their car and drove away.

Leah’s face was pale, and she hurriedly thanked Christopher. Christopher reassured her as he stared at the car that had disappeared from sight.

After slowing his car down when he was some distance away, Han’s eyes were full of rage. I should have expected that. Leah is an ambitious woman. After leaving him for less than a year, she’s flirting around with other men. No wonder she’s reluctant to be involved with me.

Han took a deep breath, trying to stop the thoughts from running wild.

Leah brought Ryan to the White residence. It was the first time she brought someone back home, and what’s more, that person was a well-known jewelry investor from abroad. She was a little worried.

However, Ryan did not feel that way. He walked around the White residence as though he was touring an exhibit. He sighed and said to himself, “So this is where she lived for twenty-three years.”

Leah was puzzled.

When the two of them came to the living room, Leah poured Ryan a glass of water and said, “Please have a seat here. I’ll go inform my mother.”

Upon hearing it, Ryan’s eyes suddenly flickered with hesitation. He held the cup and pursed his lips.

Before Leah could call Jane, the latter came down the stairs. Jane asked, “Sarah, why did you come home so late tonight?”

She was surprised to see a man sitting on the sofa. “You are…”

Ryan turned around slowly as he heard the footsteps. As soon as Jane saw him, she was stunned.

Chapter 103

When Jane’s eyes met Ryan, she instinctively covered her mouth in shock. In a split second, tears welled up in her eyes. She stood rooted there, but her body trembled slightly.

It was the first time Leah had seen Jane with that expression. On her face was a mixture of joy, worry, and sadness. She wondered why Jane would react that way when she saw Ryan.

Ryan broke the silence. He sighed as he put down his glass. “Long time no see, Janie.”

Leah’s mother’s name was Jane Crawford. If Ryan called Leah’s mother “Janie”, Leah believed he knew her. In fact, she was surprised when she realized their connection.

Jane broke into tears after hearing that. She walked toward Ryan and fell on her knees, which shocked Leah greatly. Ryan grabbed her in time and said, “You don’t have to do this.”

“I’m sorry, Dad. I’m a bad daughter. I abandoned you for twenty-three years and never visited you,” Jane said hoarsely.

Leah was stunned when she heard those words. Did Mom call him “Dad”? She looked at Ryan and Jane with her mouth agape. They were looking at each other. Even though Ryan’s expression was not gentle, his eyes were full of love when they looked at Jane.

“I thought you’d be living a difficult life after you left the Crawford family. I’ve never been so glad to be wrong. That boy really treated you well,” Ryan sighed and said.

Jane wailed when she heard that. She eventually calmed down and wiped away her tears. “It’s all my fault. You and Mom must be so disappointed in me, yet I’m troubling you again.”

“I know. You’ve been a troublemaker since you were young.” Ryan smiled while looking at her.

Listening to their conversation, Leah asked, “Mom, what’s going on?”

Jane quickly explained, “Oh, dear. I was so excited that I forgot to explain it to you.” She led Leah to the sofa and started to tell her about the past. Jane was originally the daughter of the Crawford family. After she fell in love with Gordon, she wanted to marry him.

At that time, Gordon was only a poor young man with nothing to his name. Ryan was worried that his daughter would suffer after marrying him and tried to stop their relationship. However, Jane secretly planned to run away with Gordon.

Eventually, Ryan caught her. In protest, she stopped eating and drinking for a few days, and Ryan finally compromised.

At that time, he said calmly to Jane, “Janie, if you’re determined to marry him, you’re not the daughter of the Crawford family anymore.”

Jane, however, did not understand her father’s good intentions and ran away in a fit of pique. As he watched her leave, Ryan thought that she would return home when she could not stand it. However, twenty-three years passed, and Jane never came back.

“I was too ashamed to go back,” Jane said as she laughed at herself. “I’ve disappointed my father. Even if life was bad, I couldn’t bring myself to go home.”

“So why were you so desperate to call me this time?” Ryan looked at her and chuckled. Indeed, Jane had made a phone call to Ryan not too long ago. That was why he flew to Pasteria.

As soon as hearing this, Jane sighed and glanced at Leah. “It’s for the sake of my daughter.”

Back in her room, Leah felt her brain was dizzy from the information overload tonight.

The next day, Ian, who was on a business trip, finally came home. The first thing he did was to find Leah. While he was away, Leah had contacted him and said there was something urgent. He

instinctively felt something must have happened. After he arrived at the White family, Leah told Ian about what happened a while ago.

“What? Sasha used me to trick you into going to the warehouse?” Ian exclaimed. “How dare she show up again?”

“Yes. I think someone influential is behind this and is manipulating her,” Leah said worriedly.

Ian sighed, “Try not to go out on your own for now. I didn’t expect her to use me to blackmail you.”

Leah bit her tongue when she heard that. She wanted to tell him that it was not the case. Even though the person had lured her to go alone to the warehouse using Ian’s name, their target was obviously Han.

She hesitated for a moment but eventually said nothing.

“By the way, I bought you something.” Ian grinned and changed the topic.

“What is it?” Leah asked with a smile.

Ian carefully took out a box and said, “Open it and see for yourself.”

Leah took over the present and looked at him puzzledly. Under his anticipating gaze, she unwrapped the present. It was a sandalwood bracelet with an antique design.

“This is sandalwood, it’ll help you to sleep better. You can become calmer if you wear it,” Ian explained with a smile.

Feeling moved, Leah thanked him. “Thank you.”

Looking at her smile, he felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in his heart. He could not help but reach out his hand slowly and caress Leah’s face. When Leah raised her head, she met his face which was a few inches

from hers. Her heart was beating fiercely. Knowing what he was going to do next, she gripped her skirt nervously.

“Ahem.” A cough was heard from behind him. Leah, who came to her senses, turned her head and saw Ryan behind them. He looked at Ian disapprovingly.

“Young lady, who’s he?” Ryan asked.

Leah quickly introduced Ian to him, “He’s Ian Sanders, my… fiancé.”

As she explained, she turned her head to Ian and said, “He’s my grandpa.”

“Your grandpa?” Ian was a little surprised.

He had known Leah since he was young, but never once did he meet Leah’s maternal family members.

Ian greeted him politely, “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Crawford.”

Ryan responded with a cold snort and glanced at Leah. “Come with me.” Leah stood up and followed Ryan.

He looked at her and said, “What happened to you? Didn’t you marry Han? Why do you have another fiancé now?”

Leah halted, and she smiled bitterly. “Han and I have already divorced.” I am no longer Leah Murray but Sarah White. The former Leah had “died”, so I am no longer related to Han Howard.

Ryan frowned, “What? Doesn’t he love you? ”

Leah bit her lip. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“If you don’t tell me, how can I help you?” Ryan stared at her.

“What do you mean?” Leah looked at Ryan in surprise. For a while, she could not understand what he meant.

 

Chapter 104

Does Ryan want to help me?

Although Leah knew Ryan was invited by his mother, and he was very rich and powerful, even so, she felt he could not help herself get rid of Han.

Some things were destined, and confronting Han was her destiny.

“What’s wrong, young lady? You don’t look like you trust me very much,” Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked at her unhappily.

Leah smiled and shook her head. “No, it’s just that Han can be extraordinarily persistent. He won’t let me go. I don’t want to get you involved.”

“Heh, even if he won’t let you go, you have the right to leave him on your own accord,” Ryan stated profoundly.

Leah chuckled wryly. “Han will surely pursue me to my grave. He won’t let me go.”

“Then you can die,” Ryan replied matter-of-factly.

Leah widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing that. She asked, feeling confused, “What do you mean?”

Ryan took a small black bottle out of nowhere. He said, “This thing can help you with your problems.”

Leah paused for a moment before reaching out and taking it. “What’s this?” she asked.

“It’s a fake death pill. Half an hour after eating it, your body will become cold, and you’ll stop breathing just like you’re dead. As long as you take the antidote within 24 hours, you can wake up,” Ryan explained to her calmly.

Leah was surprised. She never knew that there was such a unique drug.

“Janie told me your story. Don’t worry. As long as Han saw your death with his own eyes, he’ll have no reason to bother you anymore.”

“But… if he finds out that I’m still alive, my future will be even worse,” Leah smiled bitterly.

Hearing her words, Ryan gazed at her profoundly. “To eat it or not to eat it, that is the choice you have to make. If you still have feelings for him and can’t let go of him, then I can’t force you.”

Hearing Ryan’s words, Leah subconsciously tightened the grip on the glass bottle in her hand and said, “No, I don’t love him anymore.”

After ten years of knowing each other and three years of marriage, Han had wrongly accused her.

Even if the misunderstanding has been cleared up, he had never thought of letting her go.

He already had Molly, and Leah was engaged to Ian. There should have been nothing between them.

“Think about it yourself,” Ryan uttered slowly.

After that, Leah thought about how to fake her own death in front of Han. She could not do it too deliberately. Otherwise, for someone as cautious as Han, he would definitely suspect something. Eventually, she decided that Molly had to be part of the plan, and sure enough, the opportunity presented itself: It was Shyanne’s birthday today.

Han had grounded Shyanne since the last time she tried to kill Leah. However, she was his sister and had a good relationship with Molly. After Molly pleaded with Han, he released her.

Shyanne, who had been liberated, went to investigate Leah as soon as possible. She was shocked when she realized that Leah did not kill Randall.

“Molly, how could this be? Could it have been a misunderstanding?” Shyanne asked incredulously. She did not look too pleasant.

Sitting opposite her, Molly stirred her coffee and grinned coldly. “It’s not a misunderstanding. Han has already started to track down Sasha. However, Sasha seems to be relying on someone who has the means to do so, and she has tricked Han.”

Molly had already investigated the incident where Han hurt himself, and she knew he risked himself to save Leah.

“That woman again! She already has my brother. Why does she insist on ruining your relationship? Even if…” Shyanne bit her lip, widened her eyes, and growled, “Even if she’s not my father’s killer, she is the woman who ruined my brother’s happiness! I will never forgive her!”

Molly, feeling pleased by her words, let out a sinister chuckle. The reason she told Shyanne was to observe her attitude. If Shyanne agreed with her, she would not mind letting Shyanne in on her plan. However, if she were not…

“Shyanne, I’m so glad that we’re on the same page. You’re right. That woman destroyed your brother and my happiness. If it weren’t for her, the developmental rights wouldn’t have fallen into someone else’s hands. I would’ve been engaged with him earlier, and the Howard family would have my family’s support,” Molly said

Shyanne’s expression darkened. She gritted her teeth and snarled, “You’re right. She’s indeed a pest. Ever since she married my brother, our family’s had so much bad luck!”

She paused, looked at Molly, and asked, “Molly, what are you going to do to her?”

Molly grinned and looked at her, “It depends on you. How much you’re willing to do for me?”

Although Shyanne was vicious, she was simple-minded. She did not think that Molly was using her as a tool.

“For the sake of you both, I’ll do anything!”Shyanne exclaimed in determination.

Listening to her words, Molly finally smiled happily.

In the White family, Jane put an invitation on the table. Looking at it, Leah asked puzzledly, “What is this?”

“It’s an invitation from the Howard family,” Jane replied. “It’s Shyanne’s birthday, she invited us. Sarah, are you going?”

Leah’s palms were sweating as she held the invitation card, and her eyes were burning with determination. She clenched her fists and said, “I’ll go.” She then added, “I’ll go together with Ian. You can stay at home, Mom.”

The fewer people who know my plan, the better. She did not intend to tell her mother in case she became worried. Also, if Jane let the cat out of the bag, Leah’s plan would be ruined.

Jane did not notice her nervousness. She smiled and smiled. “Of course, you should go with Ian. I’d be at ease if he’s with you.”

Leah smiled reluctantly and swallowed all the words into her stomach.

After dinner, Leah went to the Sanders residence. Ian was very happy to see her. He quickly asked, “Why are you here?”

“Have you received the invitation from the Howard family?” Leah asked.

“Of course I did. Are you going?” Ian replied as he nodded.

“Well, I’ll go with you,” Leah said. After hesitating for a moment, she blurted, “I have something to tell you.”

“What’s wrong?”Ian took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at her while smiling. “Why do you look so serious?”

Chapter 105

Leah told Ian of her plan, but he furrowed his eyebrows and disagreed. “Are you sure you want to do that? It’s too dangerous.”

“Yes, that’s why I need your help.”Leah bit her lip. Determination flashed in her eyes.

Ian closed his eyes and sighed. He slowly extended his hand and grabbed Leah’s. Leah’s face stiffened momentarily, but she did not push him away. She let him hold her hand, and her gaze fell on her wrist, looking at the sandalwood bracelet that he gave her.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you want,” Ian said firmly.

In the blink of an eye, it was Shyanne’s birthday. Both Leah and Ian attended it. In Linkville, almost everyone knew Leah and Ian’s relationship. The couple attracted the attention of many people as soon as they arrived at the party.

“Ms. White and Mr. Sanders look so great together! I heard that they’ve been good friends since young.”

“I heard that it was the Sanders family supporting the White family during their hard times. If I were Ms. White, I’d fall in love with him too.”

“Hey, now that you mention it, I think Ian actually looks pretty handsome.”

“What? I thought Han Howard was your idol!”

“Han is the cool and aloof type. Ian isn’t the same, so we can’t compare them.”

Meanwhile, Han was on the second floor looking down at the scene. In the hall, Leah wore an elegant dress, looking graceful and eye-catching.

Since she left me, it looks like she’s been enjoying herself.

His gaze fell on Leah’s hand, which Ian was holding, and he squinted dangerously. How dare that woman attend the party with that man she got engaged with? Isn’t she afraid that I’ll do something to her?

“Han, what are you looking at?” Molly’s gentle voice was heard from behind him. She was already pregnant for two months, and the baby bump was gradually showing. She wore a fitting dress that emphasized her curves.

Han turned around and glanced at her stomach. “Don’t wander about when you’re pregnant,” he said.

“It’s Shyanne’s birthday. I’m her sister-in-law, so I should at least wish her happy birthday,” Molly said as she took Han’s arm and looked over the balcony. Leah is here, just as planned.

“Alright, let’s go.”Han brought Molly downstairs.

After giving out a birthday speech, Shyanne turned to look at Leah. “Previously, I’ve hurt Ms. White because of some misunderstanding. Here, let me toast Ms. White as my apology to her.”

She stood in front of Leah and handed a glass of wine to her.

Leah hesitated for a moment but did not take it. She could tell from Shyanne’s expression that Shyanne had spiked the drink with something.

“Why, Ms. White? Are you still bearing a grudge? Won’t you forgive me?” Shyanne lowered her gaze and said pitifully. The people around them began to whisper.

Leah smiled reluctantly. “Why wouldn’t I?” She took the glass and drank it in front of Shyanne, who watched eagerly.

Han, who was standing behind Shyanne, noticed that. He instinctively wanted to step forward, but Molly stopped him. “Han, what are you doing?”

That’s right. What am I doing? She’s accompanied by Ian. Even if something happened to her, it’s not my problem.

After drinking the wine, Leah secretly ate the fake death pill that Ryan gave her. She walked to the side of the lounge with Ian, and said, “Ian, whatever happens later, don’t panic. Or else, our plan will be exposed.”

Ian looked at her worriedly. “Can you really manage it?”

“Trust me. You have more important things to do,” Leah clenched his hand and gave him a glass bottle secretly.

The drug that Shyanne put in the wine took its effect quickly. As soon as Leah excused herself to the bathroom, moving away from everyone’s sight, she felt her head spinning. Before she passed out, she felt someone throw a large burlap sack over her head.

Leah passed out quickly, yet she was quick to regain her consciousness. When she woke up, she was sitting in a car. The car drove steadily heading toward somewhere.

Leah’s hands and feet were tied. She tried to act calm and asked, “Who are you? Where are you taking me?”

Seeing that she was awake, the person sitting in the front passenger seat sneered. “Hey, li’l miss! You woke up pretty fast. I wanted to give you an easy death, but now that you’re awake, you can enjoy watching yourself die.”

Leah frowned and asked, “You guys want to kill me? Why don’t you just kill me then? Why do you have to take me somewhere else? ”

“Don’t worry, m’lady, we thought of something, and we want you to verify it for us,” the man said excitedly, even sounding a little manic. “I’m sure you’ll love this interesting game too!”

Leah had a bad feeling about it. Even though everything was going according to her plan, she felt something beyond her expectations would happen.

Why didn’t Molly kill me directly? Why did she let someone kidnap me and take me somewhere else? I wonder if Han knows I’m about to die.

The car finally stopped after some time. The man in the front passenger seat moved to Leah’s side and rudely blindfolded her. “I can’t let you see where I’m taking you,” he said excitedly.

After being blindfolded, Leah became more worried. Judging from the rough ride, the car was driving on a bumpy road.

The car eventually stopped again. The two men got out of the car and talked about something outside.

“Call him.”

“Where’s the other one? Did you tie her up?”

“Everything’s ready. We’ll have a good show.”

After a brief conversation, they opened the door. In an instant, a gust of cold wind pierced Leah’s body. Leah, who wore a thin dress, subconsciously shivered from the cold. Her face was drained of color.

The blindfold was rudely pulled off, and Leah was able to see again. She squinted her eyes uncomfortably from the sudden light. Scanning around her surroundings, Leah noticed that she was surrounded by mountains. In front of them was a gravel path, while behind them was an imposing dark cliff. At the edge of the cliff, the wind roared and blew Leah’s dress messily.
