Ch. 21..25: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 21-25

Chapter 21

It was a windy night at Linkville. lan brought Leah, who was in lan’s clothing, to a mansion. He opened the car door and smiled. “Here we are.”

Leah was stunned at the sight of the brightly lit luxurious mansion. She did not realize Dr. Ian Sanders was this wealthy.

lan invited Leah into the mansion. He also brought her some new clothes. “These are some clear, spare clothes we have at home. Why don’t you take a shower while the maid gets your room ready?”

Leah took the clothes gratefully. Then, she got into the shower and turned on the water.

When she left, an elegant lady in a silk nightdress came down from the staircase.

She heard the sound of water from the shower and frowned. “I heard from the maids that you brought a woman home?”

It was Mrs. Sanders, lan’s mother.

“She’s my friend and will stay for the night.” lan’s warm expression turned icy.

“A friend? I don’t think a fine lady would follow a man home without ulterior motives,” said Mrs. Sander in a low voice, staring at lan.

lan rubbed between his brows and sighed. “Mom, she is not just anyone. I suspect she might be connected to the White family…

“Don’t

you dare to bring up the White family,” Mrs. Sanders interrupted. “You are going to be engaged with Sasha soon. What if the White family canceled the engagement when they found that you brought a woman?”

lan pulled a face. “Just let them cancel it. I never want to marry Sasha in the first place.”

Mrs. Sanders softened. “lan, I’m doing this for your own good. Your dad is bringing back his bastard. I just want to ensure you will get the Sanders family’s assets when you have another competitor for the inheritance.”

“What makes you so sure that Sasha is the daughter of the White family? Wouldn’t it be worse if I married the wrong person?” said lan.

“What do you mean?” Mrs. Sanders’s forehead furrowed.

So, lan told Mrs. Sanders about his suspicion.

“Impossible! How could this happen?” Mrs. Sanders shrieked.

“I’m positive about it. However, just to be sure, Mom, can you get some of Mrs. White’s hair for a paternity test?”

Mrs. Sanders knew her son had always been careful. So, she agreed after consideration.

“During this time, let her stay at our home. Don’t chase her out, or she’ll be in danger,” lan told Mrs. Sanders before she left.

Leah had not had such a good sleep for a very long time.

She fell asleep right after the shower. The bed in the guest room was so comfortable that Leah slept through the night.

When she woke up and opened the door, only a maid was busy in the dining room.

Leah walked over. “Do you know where Dr. Sanders is?”

“Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Sander had left early in the morning. These are the breakfast that Mr. Sanders had asked us to prepare for you,” said the maid politely.

“Thank you very much,” said Leah sincerely.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Sanders went to the White residence. She spent the morning talking to Mrs. White, whom she was very close with, and told her that lan had come back.

At that moment, a lady in a white dress came in from outside. “Mrs. Sanders, is it true that lan has come back?” She could not hide the excitement on her face.

“Yes, he came home last night. He might still be at home,” said Mrs. Sanders.

“Sasha, you are a lady. Please control yourself, scolded Mrs. White with a smile.

The lady was beautiful with long black hair. She was Sasha White.

Sasha smiled shyly. She picked up the picture on the table. “My teacher praised that I improved a lot in painting. I’m sure lan would be happy for me if I showed him this!”

Then, she ran out like a gazelle as Mrs. White looked at her adoringly.

When Mrs. Sanders finally got hold of Mrs. White’s hair, she took her leave. She gave the hair to lan when she met him outside the White residence.

On the other hand, Sasha arrived at the Sanders residence with her painting.

The bodyguards and butler at the Sanders let Sasha in because she often visited lan and had a close relationship with Mrs. Sanders.

Meanwhile, Leah had finished her breakfast. She turned on the television in the living room when the maid cleaned the dining area..

The television was showing the morning news.

“Han Howard, the CEO of the Howard Group, is getting engaged with Molly Lamere, the daughter of Chief Jackson Lamere. The couple is a perfect match made in heaven. As you can see, their friends and family greet them…”

On the screen, Molly was holding Han’s hand and smiling happily.

On the other hand, Han, who usually disliked cameras, surprisingly did not show any disdain in front of the

camera.

Leah could still remember vividly the day they had to take a photo for the marriage certificate. Han tried to keep his temper, but his impatience still showed in the photos.

When the photographer suggested a retake, Han declined.

He did not even want to take a proper wedding photo with Leah, yet he was showing off on the television with Molly.

Everything in front of Leah was blurry. She only realized she was in tears when she wiped her eyes.

As she was wiping her eyes, Leah heard something falling on the floor from her back.

Leah turned her head. A lady in a white dress with long black hair was looking at her. Leah could see the terror in the lady’s eyes when their eyes met.

“You…” Leah opened her mouth.

But then, the lady quickly turned and ran away, like she met with a ghost.

Leah touched her face, wondering if she looked terrifying when she cried.

Then, she remembered Molly, who was always pretty and well–dressed.

That’s right! I’m just a plain Jane who Han tortures. Who am I to compete with Molly?

Sasha staggered to her feet getting out of the Sander’s residence, not realizing she had left her painting there.

However, she was too afraid to go back to collect her painting.

More precisely, she did not dare to look at Leah’s face.

The same face appeared in her dream, asking her, “why me?”

Sasha had ten years of a carefree life. This was the first time she encountered something out of her control.

After consideration, Sasha finally dialed a number with her shivering hand.

When the phone was picked up, Sasha could not hold it anymore.

“What should I do? She’s back!” said Sasha in a hoarse voice.

Chapter 22

The person on the other end of the phone remained silent. Sasha thought he had hung up the phone.

After a while, a brassy voice came from the phone. “Calm down, and don’t alert anyone. I’ll take care of it.”

“But, but she saw me! Sasha almost cried. “I would be done if she found out about me! We all would be done for!”

“Stop fidgeting, coward! Remember, you are the daughter of the White farmily. Act your part!” The man’s scolding finally brought some sense to Sasha.

“If she looked for anyone from the White family, try to stall them. I’ll take care of that wornan.” Then, he hung up the phone.

Sasha was upset and distracted. Nevertheless, she followed the instructions and went back to the White residence.

On the other hand, the man hung up the phone. “Han Howard, you useless bastard! Couldn’t even get rid of Leah Murray after three years.”

His eyes narrowed. Then, he sent a message to Har

Day after day, there was still no news about Leah.

Han sat in his office and looked at the vibrant scenery outside of his window.

When Ben opened the door, he saw Han sitting there like a meditating monk. His shadow looked incredibly lonely

“Mr. Howard,” said Ben, breaking the silence in the room.

“Any news?” Han turned and asked.

He did not realize his voice had become hoarse until he started to talk.

Ben could not help but feel sorry for Han. “No. We had searched not just the coast, but the whole mountain, but we still can’t find your wife.”

“Shut up! That woman is not my wife,” said Han in a cold voice.

“Sorry, sir.” Ben lowered his head terrified. “Mr. Howard, could it be Miss Murray had…had passed away?” asked Ben in a shaky voice.

Han’s eyes twitched when he heard the words “passed away”.

Once again, the room fell into silence.

After a while, Han stood up from his chair. “No, she has no right to die. Her life belongs to me.”

Hatred seeped through Han’s eyes, and it terrified Ben.

Knock Knock!

Someone knocked on the office’s door.

Han hid away the hatred on his face. “Who is that?”

“It’s me, Han,” said Molly from the other side of the door. Ben quickly opened the door.

Molly walked in and frowned. “Why is the room smell of tobacco? Did you smoke, Han?”

CHABUN 20

She saw the ashtray on the table filled with cigarette butts. Han had been smoking a lot.

What’s upsetting him?

Han did not answer Molly’s question. Instead, he looked imitated. “What’s the matter?”

Molly immediately replaced her inquisitive expression with an overly sweet smile. “Han, you promised me to have dinner with my family today. I’ve told Daddy about it. Have you forgotten?”

“No, I didn’t.” Han rubbed between his brows. “Let me take a show and get changed first. Wait for me here.”

Then, Han gave a look to Ben as he walked to the private bathroom attached to his office.

Molly began checking out the place when she was alone in Han’s office.

She felt very excited when she imagined Han working hard on his chair in his office.

Then, a phone rang and interrupted Molly’s daydream.

Molly found the source of the sound. It was Han’s phone. Molly took a peek at the screen and found that it was a message from an unknown number.

Could it be a message from that woman?

Molly quickly picked up Han’s phone and opened the message.

“Leah is not dead. She’s at lan’s house.”

The content of the message made Molly’s heart skip a beat.

Leah is not dead?

But why would this person inform Han?

Molly knew that Han would definitely go to look for Leah when he read the message.

She could not let Han find out about Leah. But, if Molly did not kill Leah the first time, she did not mind doing it again!

Molly’s eyes glinted. She quickly deleted the message and pretended like nothing had happened. Then, she made another call quietly.

Han had already dressed up when he walked out of the bathroom. “Let’s go!” he said, picking up his phone.

His brows knitted when he touched the phone.

Something was not right.

Han noticed some residual warmth on his phone, albeit only a little.

“Han, what are you waiting for? Let’s go. Daddy is waiting for you.” Molly put her hand on Han’s arm.

So, Han put his suspicion in the back of his mind and walked out of his office with Molly.

Leah was watering the flowers in the garden with the maid. The maid tried to warn Leah because she thought Leah was interested in lan.

“Mr. Sanders has been close with Miss White since they were young. Mr. Sanders always listen to Miss White, even when she wanted him to wear a dress or play pretend as the father. Mr. Sanders really likes her.”

Some fragmented images appeared in Leah’s mind, hurting her head.

Then, her phone rang. Leah answered her phone.

“Miss Murray? I’m Mr. Sanders’ assistant. Unfortunately, Mr. Sanders met with an accident on our way home. Can you come here?” said an anxious voice over the phone.

Leah’s heart clenched. “Where?” she asked.

“City Center Hospital.”

“Alright. I’m coming.”

“Also, please don’t tell anyone else because Mr. Sanders does not want to alert his mother. Please come discreetly.”

“Understand.” Leah did not suspect anything.

Her mind was occupied because she worried about lan. After all, lan had saved her before.

“Miss Murray, where are you going? Mr. Sanders had requested you not to leave before he returns. The maid quickly stopped her.

“I’m going out to get something. I’ll be back soon,” said Leah without turning her head.

“Gold digger.” The maid looked at the back of Leah with disdain as she walked away quickly.

The security at the entrance recognized Leah as the woman lan brought back and let her go. Leah did not encounter any obstacle leaving the Sanders residence.

There was no taxi for hire outside of the Sanders residence. So she had to walk quite a distance to get one.

A loud, abrupt brake came from her back as Leah ran.

Leah turned her head. Before she could see anything clearly, a sack came down her head, and all she could see was darkness.

“Who are you? What do you want?” Leah kicked and fought back. “Help! Help me!”

However, they were a quiet neighborhood without many passersby. No one heard Leah’s shout.

Leah was dragged into the car.

Thud!

The car door closed and sealed in Leah’s scream.

Chapter 23

lan sent Leah and Mrs. White’s hair for a paternity test in the morning. The result finally came out in the afternoon.

Their DNA was 99.99% of a perfect match, which meant they were related.

lan was relieved when he received the report. As long as he had the DNA report, he could help Leah to find her true identity.

When lan arrived home cheerfully with the DNA report, he could not find Leah anywhere in the house.

“Where’s the lady I brought home yesterday?” lan asked one of the maids.

The maid shook her head in confusion. “Miss Murray said she was going out to buy something. She is not back yet.”

“When did she go out?”

“Around ten o’clock in the morning.”

lan looked at his watch. It was four o’clock in the afternoon, which meant Leah had been out for six hours.

lan suddenly felt uneasy.

He had reminded Leah not to leave the house because Han might be looking for her. Probably, Han had found out Leah had been staying at lan’s place and kidnapped her when lan was out

lan could not even think about how Han would torture Leah when she was back.

“I’m going out,” said lan before he left hurriedly for the Howard residence.

Meanwhile, Han was having dinner at the Lamere residence.

At the dining table, Molly looked at Han adoringly. She placed some dishes on Han’s plate. “Have some more. You have been working hard today.”

Mrs. Lamere smiled. “Molly, you finally know how to take care of others. But why didn’t you take care of your daddy?”

“Mum!” said Molly coyly. “Daddy has you to take care of him. And I’m going to marry Han and take care of him forever.”

On the other hand, Han did not respond, like he did not hear any of the conversations. He looked up and saw Jackson looking at him.

“Speaking of which, the engagement party was ruined by that crazy woman. So, Han, when do you plan to have another party as a replacement?” asked Jackson with a smile.

Han froze for a bit and frowned a little. “I’m swamped lately. Maybe later then.”

Hearing Han’s words, Jackson’s smile faded. He did not say another word.

After dinner, Jackson went to Han. “I have something to show you. Follow me to the library.”

Once they entered the library, Jackson’s friendliness disappeared.

He sat behind his study table. “Do you plan to go against your own promise?” he narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

“No, I don’t. I’m just too busy lately,” said Han with an icy expression.

“Don’t you dare to think I don’t know your trick!” Jackson slammed his hands on the study table loudly. “I only

agreed to keep that incident down because you promised to marry Molly. I will destroy you and that woman if you go against your words!”

Molly, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was startled by the loud noise.

She could not hear anything else. But, the door opened abruptly from inside when she wanted to listen more.

It was Han. He gave Molly a cold stare that sent a chill down her spine.

“I just want to bring you some snacks.” Molly was trembling inside.

Han could have killed her with a look.

“No, thank you. I need to go back to the office for some work.” Han finally returned to his usual icy attitude.

In the car, Han rubbed between his brows tiredly again.

He had not slept for a day. Then, his mood became worse because of what Jackson said.

Ben drove Han back to the Howard residence without a word. Then, when they were about to reach the mansion, Ben suddenly hit the car’s brake.

Han was alert and opened his eyes. “What happened?”

“Mr. Howard, someone jumped in front of the car.” Ben was drenched in cold sweats.

Han narrowed his eyes. “Drive!” he said in a cold, cruel tone.

“But…”

“Just drive! I’d take care of it if someone died!”

His mood was already terrible. How dare someone try to seek death in front of him?

Ben quickly started the car. He feared Han might shift his anger to him if he was too slow.

“Han Howard! Get out of the car!” Someone banged on the car window.

Han turned and looked. His eyes met with lan’s eyes, which were blazed with anger.

Isn’t this the man… no, the doctor at the psychiatric hospital?

Han could vaguely remember this man was quite close to Leah.

His face stiffened when he thought of Leah.

Han lowered the window. “Anything?” he asked flatly.

Suddenly, lan struck Han with his fist. Han moved slightly to the side, and it missed.

“What the hell?”

“Han Howard! You cold–blooded bastard! Don’t you know how weak Leah’s body is? Why can’t you just let her go?” lan was devastated. He knew that he could never defeat this man.

Han was quick to catch the keyword in lan’s sentence. “Leah? Did you see her?”

“Stop playing dumb! Didn’t you kidnap her from my place? Let me tell you, she’s not just anyone. She’s …

“She’s at your place?” Han interrupted lan. “Bring me to her.”

I knew it. That woman would never die this easily.

lan’s expression turned from angry to confused.

“You didn’t kidnap her?” asked lan after gaping for a while.

“Why do you think I need to kidnap her?” Han smirked.

That woman is my pet. She would crawl back to me with a wave of my hand.

She will never leave me.

lan’s expression became complicated. “I apologize. I thought you kidnapped Leah. I am afraid there is a misunderstanding.”

Then, lan turned and left with his car.

“Mr. Howard, should we follow him?” Ben asked.

“Let’s go! I want to know what that woman is thinking!” Han clenched his fists.

Not only did Leah not come back to Han when she escaped from Molly, but she also went to a man whom she only met a few times.

What game is this woman playing?

Leah woke up from pain. Something was crushing her left palm, and the pain spread through her body.

“Argh!”

Leah let out a painful scream, drenching in cold sweats.

“Oh! Here you are. I thought you would never feel pain.” an eerie female voice came from above her head.

Leah opened her eyes with great difficulty. Molly’s delirious face was right in front of her.

“You… Why…” said Leah weakly, in a hoarse voice.

Chapter 24

Molly stepped on Leah’s hand forcefully with her high heels. Cold sweat coursed down Leah’s forehead as her face turned pale from the pain. Molly lifted her foot and proceeded to sit on a chair right in front of Leah. She glared down at Leah and asked, “Who else were you expecting to see here? Let me guess. You’re looking for Han, isn’t it?”

Leah was dazed upon hearing that name. Molly smirked and continued, “Oh Leah, just look at the face you’re making right now. You look pathetic. Han would have loathed if he saw you in this state.” Leah curled up her petite figure and closed her eyes to hide her forlorn,

She’s right. Han hates me to the core. He would be amused to see me like this right now. In spite of that, how did Molly know that I’m staying over with the Sanders family?

“You’re probably wondering how I knew about you staying over at the Sanders family. Am I right?” Molly said as if she read Leah’s mind. Molly proceeded, “To be frank, Han had been searching for you for the past two days. He knew that I pushed you off the cliff. He also told me that you were staying over at the Sanders family.

Leah’s pupils widened in disbelief. She could not conclude that Han had betrayed her without hesitation as they had been married for three years. “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me?” Molly sneered. She chuckled and continued, “You know, I was planning to get rid of you today, but I came up with a better idea.”

Leah used every ounce of strength to get back on her feet. She sat against the wall and took a deep breath. “What is it?” Leah asked feebly. Molly patted Leah’s cheek and said, “You haven’t gotten a glimpse of the wedding photo of me and Han. It would be a pity if I ended your life right now. I would rather keep you alive and make your life no different than hell. You will never get back together with Han!”

Leah was startled by Molly’s heinous words. Her face turned pale as her lips trembled. She asked, “Why are you doing this to me?” Molly grinned and answered, “You’ve coveted a man that you shouldn’t, and now you must pay the price.” Molly stood up from the chair and glanced at the three men around her. “Take good care of Ms. Murray here for me, and do be gentle.” Molly insisted as she left.

A terrible stench filled the room as it was a cramped storehouse. It was a soundproof room despite it being relatively empty.

The three men gradually approached Leah. She trembled in fear as she took a few steps back. “Please don’t come any closer. Let me go. I beg of you. I’ll give you anything you want!” Leah uttered in desperation.

“What can you give us? You’ve been dumped by Mr. Howard.” One of the men said. “That’s right. Ms. Lamare and Mr. Howard are destined to be together. You can only dream of being as happy as them!” Another man added. The leader amongst the men pounced on Leah and ripped her coat open. Leah held on to her clothes with all her might as she begged for mercy.

Leah had never regretted her decisions in her life. She was desolated by Han on their wedding night. Han had never once smiled in the past three years of their marriage. He even insisted Leah to undergo an abortion. Yet, Leah did not regret having married him.

Leah felt the chills on her body as her shirt was ripped open. She repented for her actions at this moment. She realized her biggest mistake in life. She should have never approached Han as he never liked her. Leah gritted her teeth with a face full of despair. She planned to end her life.

Suddenly, the metal door of the storehouse was kicked open by someone outside. The three men were stunned for a brief moment. Leah was taken aback as well. She swiftly crawled to the corner and covered her body with the leftover fabric.

A bloody stench filled the room as soon as the door was shut. A man covered in blood leaned against the door as he gasped for air. He spat out a mouth full of blood and uttered to himself, “You little assholes. I’ll be coming to end you all.”

“Who are you?” One of the men asked. The three of them kept their eyes on the bloody man. The man sat down by the door and rested for 30 seconds. He slowly lifted his head as his breathing returned to normal.

Leah lifted her head as well. Her gaze met with the man’s through her hazy tears. Leah was frightened to see the man’s face covered in blood. He looked like a bloodthirsty werewolf in this dimly lit storehouse. Leah. quickly averted her gaze as she was terrified.

“Hey! I’m asking you here. You can’t be in here. Now get out!” One of the men said. The blood–covered man only glanced at them silently. One of the men went in for a punch as he was out of patience.

An agonizing scream sounded in the room. The man failed to land his punch. His eyes were pierced by the blood–covered man’s fingers. Blood was gushing out from his eye sockets. “Tch, what an awful sound you make.” The blood–covered man said. He proceeded to grab the screaming man by his neck and tightened his grip.

The man was silenced as he died in an instant. Leah’s lips trembled in fear as she had just witnessed a murder. She did not dare to make a sound as the man glared at her. The killing did not end there. The man was a cold–blooded killing machine.

In the blink of an eye, the three men that harassed Leah became corpses lying on the ground motionless. Leah held her knees close together as she curled up in the corner. Her body could not stop trembling as she feared that the next target would be her.

Leah kept her eyes shut as she waited for everything to be over. She felt that something was off as nothing happened after a while. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the blood–covered man was sitting by the door motionless. His eyes were closed.

The storeroom was pin–drop silent. Leah relaxed her limbs as she gradually approached the man with caution. Leah felt that the man meant no harm to her compared to the three who were harassing her earlier; albeit he was skilled in killing.

Leah reached out her hand cautiously to check his breath. She let out a sigh of relief as she felt the vague breath coming from the man’s nose.

As she was about to retract her arm, her wrist was gripped forcefully.

 

Chapter 25

“What are you trying to do?” The man asked her with a hoarse voice.

Leah was afraid. She stuttered, “I’m just… I’m just trying to help you…”

“How can you help me?” The man chuckled and replied sarcastically, “No one dares to help me at this place.”

“I learned simple nursing in the past. I can help dress your wound. You are losing too much blood.” Leah calmed herself down. She looked into the man’s eyes after realizing he wasn’t acting hostile toward her.

The man said, “You are quite brave.” Yet, he didn’t reject her suggestion. Leah didn’t reply. She got some alcohol and a few pieces of cloth from the warehouse. Leah helped clean his wound before wrapping it up.

No one spoke during the process.

The man observed her reaction. He realized this girl only felt scared initially but appeared to be calm afterwards. She didn’t even scream when she saw him killing someone.

After dressing the man’s wound, Leah wiped the sweat off her forehead. She was so afraid of getting killed if she annoyed him accidentally. She sat on the ground and came face to face with the man. The man seemed to be in a good mood. He wiped away the blood on his hands. Then, he asked Leah, “Do you have something to say?”

Leah nodded and asked him, “Where is this place? How did you end up here?”

“Don’t you know?”

Leah shook her head while pointing to the body on the floor, “I got kidnapped and was brought here.”

“Interesting.” The man sat down, “This place is Euphoria Land. It looked like a luxury clubhouse on the surface, but it is actually an underground gambling den. You are currently at the gambling den’s warehouse.”

“As for me, you saw how I ended up here because I was escaping from a pursuit.”

One was being kidnapped and another was being pursued. Molly’s informers must be out there. Similarly, those who were pursuing the man must be waiting around the area for an ambush. It would be very difficult for them to escape this place.

Meanwhile, lan returned and told Mrs. Sanders about Leah’s kidnapping.

“The result of the paternity test is out. That girl is indeed Jane’s daughter. I have to tell Jane about this!” Mrs. Sanders became restless. lan stopped her, “No, Mr. White has not returned yet. What if you startled him by telling Mrs. White?”

“What should we do then?”

“We should first find Leah.” lan looked gloomy.

At the same time, Han got out of his car. He looked at the brightly lit neon sign boards in front of him that spelled out “Euphoria Land”.

“Mr. Howard.” The attendant had been waiting for him at the entrance for a long time, “Mr. Sawyer is waiting for you at B301. Please follow me.”

It was a secret only known to the high-tier VIPS at Euphoria Land. The alphabet in front of the rooms had a special meaning. The letter “A” meant that it was a club room while the letter “B” meant that it was a gambling den.

Han walked into B301. A middle-aged man with a big belly was waiting for him.

“Mr. Howard. It’s been a long time.” Wilson Sawyer welcomed him with a smile.

Han asked impatiently, “Did you find the person I asked you to?”

Wilson froze up, “Mr. Howard, I wanted to help you but we had a troublemaker recently. He ruined many of my deals. I will help you as soon as possible when I get rid of him.”

Han squinted his eyes, “That means you did nothing in the last 16 hours!”

Wilson felt a chill run down his spine. He unconsciously took two steps backwards as he explained with a smile, “Don’t say that. I’ve asked my lackeys to find him…”

Han knew Wilson was just trying to talk his way out of trouble. He chuckled and said, “Get lost.” His voice was cold as ice.

Wilson tried to explain more but Han just glared at him. Han’s killing intent terrified Wilson. He ran away out of fear even though he was the owner of Euphoria Land.

Han was left alone in that huge room.

Meanwhile, back at the warehouse.

“Let’s escape,” Leah suggested. There were many items in the warehouse. She found two uniforms used by the attendants at Euphoria Land. The man knew what she was planning after taking a glance at the uniforms: in her hands.

He laughed and said, “This is a place where you put your life on the line.”

Leah had already calmed down. She had a plan. Han didn’t want her alive anyway. She would be lucky if she could escape here alive. Even if she’s dead….

“Don’t worry. I’ll cover for you if you get discovered. You are good in combat. I’m sure you can escape this place.”

The man was fearless, but he was still shocked, “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Leah chuckled, “My life isn’t even mine, to begin with.”

There was a cupboard in the warehouse. Leah hid inside to change her clothes, but she felt awkward when she came out. The uniform for a female attendant at Euphoria Land was quite revealing. Her long legs and arms were almost uncovered, and most of her chest was exposed too.

On the contrary, the male attendant’s uniform was nothing unusual. The man took a glance at Leah. He said jokingly, “I didn’t expect you to have such a nice body even though your looks are just decent.”

Leah blushed and stared at him. She finally realized how handsome the man was. He had beautiful eyes, a tall nose and a handsome face. He looked different compared to Han who was handsome yet aggressive. The man had a certain kind of charm.

“Why are you spacing out? Are you having perverted thoughts after noticing how handsome I am?” The man

teased Leah.

Leah ignored him. She opened the door to take a quick peek outside. It was crowded. Everyone was immersed at their gambling table, and no one was paying attention to what was going on around them.

“Let’s go.” Leah pulled the man as they both walked outside naturally.

“Hey, stop right there!” They heard a fierce shout behind them.

Leah froze. She turned around slowly. The man also had his guard up for a moment.

“Come here and fill up my cup.”

Leah breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She went to fill the gambler’s cup. Then, she felt him touching her hand.

“What a nice body. Accompany me tonight and I’ll give you 10% of my winnings today. What do you think?” The gambler wrapped his arms around Leah’s slim waist.

Leah blushed while rejecting him, “I still have something to do.”

“You are just a whore. Stop embarrassing yourself!”

Many people were grinning around them. They were waiting for her to make a fool of herself. The man who was with Leah wanted to turn around to help her but a shadow swept past him. Someone had walked up to Leah before he could.

After that, a scary voice could be heard, “Let her go.”
