Ch. 381..385: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 381-385

Chapter 381 The Rumored Man

Hendrik's concern made Leah feel better.

She sent him a text. "I'm fine. Thank you for saving me."

Leah struggled to sit on the bed, and she could not help but smile bitterly when looking at her body.

Hendrik saved her again.

She owed him so much and did not know how to repay him.

So she sent him a text again. "You saved me so many times, and I want to repay you by giving you a gift. What do you like?"

Hendrik replied to her. "Let's talk about the gift later. When you get discharged, accompany me for a meal.

Only a meal?

Leah was slightly surprised and could finally see what he looked like.

Leah replied to him. "Okay."

After sending the text, her heart could not stop beating faster, like a naive teenage girl looking forward to the day of her discharge.

Although she had never met Hendrik and still did not know why he approached her, she could not help but want to know more about him.

Even if he betrayed her and hurt her like Lucy in the future, it would not matter.

Without him, she would have died in Qustraebar a long time ago.

Leah suffered from external injuries, with dozens of long scars on both arms, but nothing else.

The doctor asked her to stay for a month.

She could not sit still and always wanted to draw something. She begged Serena to bring her paper and pens on the seventh morning.

"Serena, I'm so bored. The studio has so many tasks. Let me help with something..."

Before she could finish, a low and sexy male voice came from outside the door, "No, you can't."

Then, a tall and slender man walked into the ward.

His iconic black coat and a carved black iron mask covering his face excited Leah, "Hendrik!"

Serena greeted him to come in and sit down. "Are you here to visit Sarah too? You are..."

Serena was suddenly stunned and exclaimed with hindsight, "You are Hendrik?!"

The king of the business industry had appeared before her just like that.

As he approached, Serena was sweating and respectfully gave up the chair by Leah's bedside. "Please, have a seat."

Just as everyone said, he was indeed mysterious. Even when appearing in front of everyone, he still wore a mask.

Leah treated him as a good friend, no longer nervous like when she first met him.

Looking at Hendrik sitting by her bed, she smiled gently. "Why are you still in Linkville? I thought you left here long ago."

Hendrik took out a small box containing seven small porcelain bottles. "You're so silly. If I leave, can you take care of yourself? This is an effective medicine from the genius doctor. It can promote the healing of your wounds and reduce scars. Apply it three times a day. "

The normal conversation between the two stunned Serena.

Although there were rumors that Hendrik loved her best friend, she never thought he loved her deeply.

The genius doctor had long disappeared, yet Hendrik had made him come out of seclusion to make medicine because of Sarah's injury.

Serena wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly went to Hendrik's side. "Thank you for the effective medicine, Mr. Hendrik. I'll help Sarah apply it now..."

She wanted to get the box, but Hendrik evaded her grasp. "I'll do it. You can leave."

Serena was speechless.

What kind of aura did this high-ranking individual possess? Wasn't it usually her taking care of Sarah?

Leah also felt it was inappropriate for Hendrik to apply medicine for her and hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Hendrik, let Serena help me instead."

Hendrik remained silent and sat quietly. His mask covered his expression, making them impossible to guess his emotions.

However, the pressure in the room dropped even lower.

Serena could not bear it any longer and hastily bid her farewells. "I'm going to the studio now. Sarah, if you need anything, just let me know."

She was secretly mocking. Wasn't Mr. Hendrik supposed to be cold-blooded and heartless? What was going on now?

Truly, heroes were often charmed by the beauty of women.

Leah also seemed to feel the same way. She looked at Hendrik with a strange and embarrassed expression. 'Um... you don't like me, do you?

She felt it was better to clarify things like this, as she wanted to be friends with him.

Hendrik took out a small bottle and said plainly, "Stop talking nonsense."

After he asked the nurse to remove the bandage from her arm, her fair and slender arm revealed dozens of blood-red and hideous scars.

It was the first time Leah had seen her wound clearly since she had been hospitalized for a week.

Lucy caused these wounds since Leah was going to save Han, who was not even in the commercial building.

Until now, she realized that if Jackson had put Han in danger, she could not change anything.

She was so weak and insignificant that she could not even guarantee her safety.

While she was lost in thought, Hendrik gently applied the medicine to her wound. The nurse replaced the dressing with a new gauze, re-wrapping her wound.

"Why did you go there?" Hendrik said coldly.

She would have been gone if he had not realized Jackson's plan in advance and sent his people to rescue her.

He wanted to know the reason why she suddenly went to that kind of place.

Leah was stunned. "I... I just heard someone was trapped inside and wanted to save him..."

She did not say that person was Han, and Hendrik did not ask any further.

He looked at her and said, "Before you do a good deed next time, think about how capable you are."

This sarcastic remark, similar to Han's attitude, suddenly startled Leah.

Hendrik and Han were alike, whether it was the faintly discernible cold fragrance on them or their cold and indifferent voices.

Especially the tone of ridicule when he occasionally scolded her.

If Han had not been so gentle with her, Leah would have suspected they were the same person.

"You are Hendrik, right?" Leah asked with a slight smile.

"Yes," he replied.

"Good. Perhaps someday you will harm me for your benefit. I hope you will be honest with me. I… don't like being deceived," Leah said with a smile.

She had never liked the fact that Hendrik was Han. She cherished him as her friend.

Under his mask, Han frowned. After a long pause, he responded, "Okay."

Has she noticed something?

…

In the CEO's office of the Ford Group, Shawn kicked his assistant far away. His eyes were red with rage. "How dare you! How dare you try to kill Sarah without permission!"

The assistant coughed up blood but refused to back down. "Boss, even if you kill me today, I won't regret what I did that day…. Think about how much workforce and resources you have wasted on Ms. White all these years. We can't take it anymore. I'm afraid the workforce you have built up will crumble..."

"That's not for you to decide!" Shawn spat in anger. "This is a plan from Jackson, right? I'll give you the last chance to make up for it by bringing that old man to me!"

Although that man was despicable, he was a weapon to be used against Han!

Chapter 382 Are You in Love With Me?

The police and many others, including Shawn, were all trying to catch Jackson. After all, the sudden bankruptcy of the White Group left many confused and needing answers from him.

But he seemed to have disappeared after the plan to kill Han failed.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the explosion at the West Street Commercial Building gradually became old news.

Leah sat on the bed with a thin cotton quilt covering her legs, flipping through a book. The bright sunshine outside could not dispel the chill in the air, and the gentle breeze blew many withered leaves off the trees.

Winter was approaching.

"Han…" It had been a long time since she had flipped through her book, and she murmured absentmindedly, "He's been silent for so long and hasn't contacted me. What exactly happened?"

Carlotta would video call her every day or occasionally come to see her with the butler's help.

"Mommy, what are you thinking about?" Carlotta's tender voice brought her back to reality.

Seeing that Ben had brought Carlotta to see her this time, Leah frowned slightly. "Where is Han?"

Since they met again, he had rarely disappeared so completely from her side. In addition to feeling a

sense of peace, she also felt a little anxious for no reason.

Ben respectfully said, "Boss has gone on a trip and is very busy."

Leah had had enough of this answer, and she was frustrated. "I got it. Please wait for Carlotta outside."

After Ben left, Carlotta climbed onto the bed and snuggled into her arms. "Mommy, you miss Daddy, don't you? I know that!"

Leah was slightly flushed as she remembered the entanglement between her and him. Her expression was complicated. "No, how have you been recently? Are you bored every day?"

She pinched the soft face of Carlotta.

Carlotta smiled sweetly and said, "I won't be bored. Uncles and aunties accompany me to read books, play games, and study daily. But it would be great if Mommy and Daddy could take me out to play someday."

Leah could not bear to see Carlotta feeling down and rubbed her head, saying, "Isn't it okay to have Mommy and Aunt Serena play with you?"

Indeed, there was an inexplicable closeness between blood relatives.

Even though Carlotta used to call Shawn "Daddy," she probably felt happier and more comfortable with Han now.

Carlotta pouted, saying, "Aunt Serena is great too, but I still want Daddy. We can go out and take a family photo. Other kids on TV all have family photos!"

Leah was speechless.

She could talk to Han and let Carlotta watch less TV.

"I don't know where he went. Mommy will take you out to play tomorrow." Leah took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions.

Now that Jackson and Han had disappeared, she had a bad feeling.

After all, Jackson wanted his life.

But everyone around Han said he was okay, so she did not want to ask too much.

"Mommy, you still have eight days left in the hospital, right?" Carlotta looked worriedly at Leah.

Leah waved her arm and said, "It's okay. I feel like I can leave the hospital tomorrow."

There was no bandage on her arm, and Hendrik's medicine was very effective.

However, she still had dozens of pale pink scars on her arm, which was shocking.

Carlotta would have been very willing in the past, but this time her attitude was unyielding. "No, Mommy. I've experienced staying in the hospital. It would be best to listen to the doctor and not run around. You must wait until your body is completely healthy before going out to play."

Embarrassed by Carlotta's teaching, Leah said, "Okay, I understand..."

At the same time, she felt great heartache for Carlotta, as she had endured more pain and suffering than people of the same age.

Even though she had not started kindergarten, her mind gradually matured.

Suddenly, the hospital room door opened, and Hendrik's slender figure walked in, holding some fruit and lunch.

"Leah, even children understand this principle. Why don't you?" His cold gaze swept towards Leah.

Leah was taken aback and felt even more uneasy as she turned her head away from Hendrik. "Um... but I feel like there's nothing wrong with me."

From the beginning, she had only suffered from external injuries. Now, she hardly needed any injections and was recuperating in the hospital.

"Is that so? Do you think you're more powerful than the doctor?" Hendrik stood beside her, his cold breath bringing a strong sense of oppression.

Even behind the mask, Leah could guess Hendrik had a cold expression.

She sighed lightly and compromised, "No, I'm just too immature. Thanks to Carlotta for stopping me..."

Hendrik had been coming every day these past few days. As they spent more time together, she felt

that he had the potential to be like a mother.

For example, right now, she had no appetite and did not want to eat, but Hendrik's voice turned cold again.

"Leah! Even if you don't cherish yourself, you must think of Carlotta."

The warm lunch box was opened and placed on the bedside table, and the tempting scent of food wafted.

Hendrik called a nanny to take care of Carlotta and then served her a bowl of rice, putting it into her hand. "Eat."

Leah could only sit down and, with a complicated expression, picked up some vegetables and put them in her bowl. "Don't call me by this name. There are too many people here. Call me Sarah White."

She did not know why Hendrik knew her name, but with his resources, it was not too difficult to figure out her past.

Leah did not think much about it.

It was just his words just now that made her almost mistake him for Han.

Whenever she angered Han, he would threaten her with these words.

As Leah ate her meal, she casually said, "Hendrik, you know everything about my past thoroughly, but after all this time, I still don't know what you look like."

He was too mysterious. From beginning to end, she only knew his name and gender.

Hendrik suddenly leaned close to her and spoke lowly, "What, do you want to know what I look like? Are you… in love with me?"

At this moment, Han did not know what he was feeling.

Even though Hendrik was himself, the mere thought of Leah admitting to falling in love with him made him feel restless.

The cold fragrance emanating from Hendrik made Leah's heart skip a beat. She tilted her head back, creating more distance between them.

"How could that be? My child is already so grown up. Love is something… I don't even consider it anymore," she replied with a hint of sadness.

Han looked at Leah deeply through his mask and asked, "Whom do you love?"

Leah scoffed and shook her head, looking out the window at the desolate autumn scenery. "It doesn't matter. In the end, those whom I love or who love me are just nothing."

Her slender figure appeared even more lonely against the autumn landscape.

Perhaps this was her fate, to love but never obtain it. Her entire life was bound by the word "love."

Han's heart suddenly clenched. "Then why have you been so concerned about Han's affairs recently? Could it be that you love him?"

Chapter 383 Intimacy

Upon hearing Hendrik's words, Leah was stunned. Hendrik was right, but she would never admit it. Upon hearing Hendrik's words, Leah was stunned. Hendrik was right, but she would never admit it.

This awful feeling was only suitable for burying deeply in her heart, letting it rot and dissipate completely.

"No…" Leah's eyes dimmed, and then she smiled and met Hendrik's gaze. "What about you? Have you been taking care of me all this time because you love me?"

She changed the subject to Hendrik because she wanted to escape the fact that she was being questioned. But she heard an unexpected answer.

"Yes," Hendrik said with a calm voice.

Leah could not believe what she had heard. She was stunned and stared at him. "What did you say?"

It must have been a mistake. Hendrik, a person of his status, had been in contact with all sorts of women. There was no reason for him to like her, a divorced mother with a child.

It was hard for her to believe such a thing.

Hendrik leaned in closer to her, so close that their breaths seemed to mingle. He calmly said, "If I said I liked you, what would you do?"

Han could obey his innermost feelings without any constraints since he was Hendrik now.

"Stop kidding around," Leah said, not believing him. "You've been getting close to me to discover everything about me. There must be some other motive. Just tell me directly."

Leah looked at Hendrik solemnly. "It's okay, as long as it's not too extreme, we can still be friends in the future."

Hendrik returned to his seat by the bed, his deep voice tinged with a hint of amusement. "What counts as too extreme?"

"I don't know." Leah frowned. "You can tell me what you need, and I'll help as much as possible."

She owed him several lives of her own. She would let him use her as long as he did not want to harm Carlotta.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Hendrik stood up and looked down at her.

Leah was startled by his sudden cold voice, feeling a bit nervous. "I know, I will help you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Hendrik pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Will you really help me with anything?"

"What if I said I wanted to have sex with you?"

Leah was taken aback, quickly pushing him away with a gloomy look. "Please don't mess with me. If

you have something to say, just say it. I don't believe you approached me just because you like me and want to have sex with me."

She did not think she was so attractive that a divorced woman with a child would attract him.

Not far away, Carlotta had already finished her meal and had been watching them with an amused expression.

When she saw Hendrik hug Leah, she suddenly turned into a sad expression. "Oh no, oh no. If daddy doesn't come back soon, mommy is going to cheat on him!"

Carlotta's excitement caused her to speak with a relatively loud voice. Hearing Carlotta's words, Leah's face darkened slightly, and she began to talk seriously with Hendrik. "Mr. Hendrik, just tell me what you want. It's okay."

It was the first time she had called him like this.

Han's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Don't call me that."

Anyone could call him like that, but not her.

He did not want his Hendrik identity or to be abandoned and kept away by her after expressing his feelings.

"There's no reason. I'm just very interested in you. To put it bluntly, I want you to help me manage the White Group temporarily. I need to deal with Shawn and don't have time."

Although it was not the reason Leah had imagined, she finally relaxed a bit.

"Okay," she agreed without hesitation.

The White Group originally belonged to her parents, and she missed being there.

After finally finishing their conversation, Carlotta rushed forward and hugged Hendrik's leg, "Uncle, you're also going to be my third dad!"

"You have a lot of dads," Han glanced coldly at Leah on the bed.

Leah suddenly felt pressure and quickly pulled Carlotta away, "Carlotta, he's not your daddy. Don't overthink."

Carlotta was too open-minded. Even the third dad was coming out now.

If Han knew about her and Hendrik, he would probably go crazy again and say she did nothing but seduce men.

She was not good at dealing with his anger.

"Well, I got to go. I'm too busy these days. I'll pick you up in eight days."

As Hendrik left, Leah had a sigh of relief and pinched the soft face of Carlotta, "Carlotta, don't say such things before Uncle Hendrik again."

"Why?" She blinked her eyes with confusion.

Leah paused, then said, "Uncle Hendrik has a bad temper. He will lock up the kid who annoyed him in the dark room."

Carlotta was speechless. "Mommy, I'm not a three-year-old. Your trick doesn't work anymore. I wouldn't believe such an obvious lie!"

Leah paused and said, "Anyway, stop calling him daddy."

Carlotta did not know the seriousness yet.

Men with power at the top of the pyramid were hazardous.

It was Han and Shawn.

Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger.

Until Carlotta promised she would not say that, Leah asked Ben to take her back to Han's mansion in Victoria Precinct.

That evening, Serena came to see her after work from the studio.

As soon as she entered the door, she put a pile of documents on Leah's bed: "Here, these are the documents that Mr. Hendrik asked me to give you."

After reading them, Leah found that they were documents of the White Group's acting CEO and some projects handover.

"Thank you." She was surprised by Hendrik's efficiency, and she realized that she would be the acting CEO of the White Group soon.

After she signed the papers one by one, Serena rearranged them and put them aside.

Then, she sat seriously by Leah's bed and questioned, "I'll return the document to the White Group later. Now tell me what happened between you and Hendrik."

Leah paused with confusion. "He asked me to help manage the White Group because he'll deal with Shawn during this time and nothing else."

He was teasing Leah when he said he liked her, so it was unnecessary to tell Serena since it was not a big deal.

Serena did not believe it at all and was more earnest to persuade, 'Sarah, you can't be single all your life. When you meet a good man, you should consider him. Don't be stubborn about Han."

She had known her for so long that she loved Han the most.

Before Leah said anything, she continued, "Han is about to marry Anna. It is rumored that when he left, he was personally planning the wedding with Anna. Hendrik's power is above Han. Neither Anna nor Han dares not to bully you anymore when you are with him."

Leah was puzzled, and her heart was in terrible pain.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Serena and was stupefied. "He's just planning his wedding with Anna during this time?"

Chapter 384 Just in Case

Serena did not want to deceive her. So, she nodded reluctantly. "Yes, Ron found out about it. "

"Ron?" Leah managed to hold back her sadness and frowned slightly. "Why did he suddenly tell you all this?"

He had been the boss of the underworld for years and had cut off contact with her. Recently, however, his attitude has changed because he learned the truth about what happened back then.

It was ironic, or this was just human nature.

Leah had a mocking smile. "Forget about it. It doesn't matter how he is."

From the moment he heartlessly abandoned Carlotta without regard for their past relationship, they were destined to be strangers.

Serena sighed softly. "He seems to know that you're in trouble. He has been asking me to come to see you. Because Hendrik has prohibited unauthorized people from seeing you, he wants me to find a way to meet you."

What Ron did was really out of line. If it were not for Han, Sarah, and Carlotta would have died.

Their relationship could not go back to how it was before, even after he apologized.

Leah stopped thinking about Ron and Han anymore. She just looked at the autumn scenery out of the

window. She felt a constant tingling pain.

It was time to let go of her underground love relationship completely.

Han will have a brand new life. After taking revenge on me, he can enjoy a beautiful life without worries.

While bearing hatred from him, she did not know if there was a future for her.

She still could not help but beg Serena with concern. "Serena, if I'm gone one day, can you care for Carlotta? Or if it's too much trouble for you, can you help me find a decent family to adopt Carlotta and keep her away from Shawn and Han?"

Serena's face turned pale after hearing her words. She pretended to be angry and refused. "No way! As her mother, you must take care of her on your own. You promised to look ahead positively and not feel sad again. Why are you saying these?"

Serena's voice was choking with sadness, and her eyes were filled with tears.

She absolutely could not accept the sudden leave of Sarah one day.

Leah was amused by her reaction and felt warm. "Serena, I'm just a little worried. You know, dangerous things like kidnapping often happen to me, so I just thought about what would happen if something happened. I'm sorry if I scared you. I would never do anything foolish myself. "

Her explanation finally put Sarena's mind at ease, and she wiped away the tears of regret. "You didn't

say everything and made me look like a fool. And you're not going to have any problems. You have to believe that many people still care about you. Donald may not be as good as Han and Shawn, but he has promised to do his best to protect you. And now that Mr. Hendrik is here, who would dare to harm you?"

Leah shook her head with a bitter smile and cold eyes. "No, it's better to rely on me than on others. I want to be stronger."

In this way, there might be a slim chance of her revenge against Han in the future.

Serena hugged her shoulders and smiled. "Okay, I will always be with you."

At this moment, both of their phones were bombarded with notifications from news apps.

"Several companies of Mr. Ford are suspected of illegal activities. Mr. Hendrik, the director, and CEO of the Kendrick Group is acquiring and merging them. What is the reason behind this move?"

"Is Mr. Hendrik making an enemy of Mr. Ford? What is the reason…"

Leah and Serena looked at each other in confusion.

Serena was speechless. "Is Mr. Hendrik… not trying to retaliate against Shawn? With so many big capitalists in Linkville, why is he making him the first target?"

"I figured it out now! Hendrik is jealous that Shawn married you, but he doesn't know there is no real marital relationship between you two. That's why he wants to bring down Shawn and possess you…"

Leah interrupted her imagination with a dark face. "Serena, when did you become so imaginative? Have you been reading romantic novels lately?"

"Hendrik is a complete businessman, and everything he does is driven by profit. What you just said is not true," replied Leah.

Serena lost interest after being interrupted and pouted, "Fine then, I'll take the documents to the White Group. You take a good rest..."

Meanwhile, Shawn was furious and throwing things around in anger because several of whose companies had been taken over in one day.

"Damn, Hendrik! He saw through my plan and had the tricks on me!" Shawn roared in frustration, picked up a file from his desk, and threw it fiercely.

His eyes were red with intense anger, and his chest heaved with each breath. Hendrik seemed to be deliberately opposing him by taking away Sarah before he could rescue her. This kind of thing happened a lot of times.

The companies that he took over today were all significant to him. They were with good prospects for development. Now that they belong to Hendrik, his power will be significantly weakened. It will be even more difficult for him to deal with Han.

"Shawn, you didn't listen to my advice earlier. Now that you've lost so much and depleted so much of your strength, do you regret it?" said Jackson in a cold voice as he stood at the door.

Shawn became even angrier upon seeing him and immediately stepped forward, kicking him to the

ground and then grabbing his neck tightly. "It's all because of you, you're useless. You played those tricks secretly on me. You knew that Hendrik also loved Sarah, yet you went and provoked him by trying to kill her. Now you made all of this." He blamed Jackson for everything.

Jackson was breathless, but he still managed to smile. "You just can't compete with Han. Do you… want to know what interesting things… I found it while away?"

Shawn was furious, but he laughed angrily, looking like a twisted demon from hell. "Tell me. Maybe I'll show you some mercy if I'm happy."

Shawn let go of Jackson.

Jackson breathed in the fresh air again, gasping for a while before recovering.

He stood up and calmly groomed himself, as elegant as he was before when he was the former Mr. Lamere.

Jackson said slowly as Shawn's patience decreased. "Han is Hendrik."

Shawn was stunned at first, then sneered, "You're making up this excuse just to be free from me? That's not like you."

When an explosion occurred on West Street, Han and Hendrik appeared simultaneously, proving that they were not the same person.

Jackson knew what he was thinking, and his smile became even more contemptuous. "You can choose not to believe it, but I did capture both of them leaving from the same place at different times," he said,

taking a few photos from his pocket.

The photos showed Jackson entering a hotel, but a few days later, Han came out, with no record of him entering the hotel before that. Jackson continued to laugh in a cold voice. "So, what's your answer?"

Chapter 385 Unworthy and Lowly Individuals

He never expected the powerful Hendrik to be Han!

Shawn could not accept the truth.

But he knew that Jackson would not lie to him at the time of crisis.

He bared his teeth and crumpled the picture into a ball. He snorted in frustration, "Kill him!"

"Hendrik or Han, he has to die!"

It was rumored that Hendrik liked Sarah; it seemed like he wanted to get close to her with a new identity.

He's so annoying!

Seeing his terrifying expression, Jackson nodded and said, "It's good for you to be determined." "You better sort things out with Sarah."

"I'm meeting Owen soon; if he agrees to work with us; Sarah must be our bargaining chip. Think properly if you'll sacrifice her or not…"

Jackson left; only Shawn was left in the huge and messy office, which was dim and silent.

His expression was hard to distinguish; he clenched his fists.

Do I have to sacrifice Sarah?

The next morning, Jackson arrived at Owen's presidential suite in a hotel to talk.

"Mr. Lancaster, nice to meet you. This is my gift for you." Jackson talked humbly despite his unwillingness.

He gave Owen a bottle of expensive wine.

Just be patient; I'll make everyone pay when the Lamere family rises again!

"I'm here to tell you something important. Seeing Owen take his wine, he continued to say

But Owen threw the wine aside indifferently.

He looked down at Jackson condescendingly, and he mockingly said, "Are you here to make a deal with me?"

Jackson tensed and forced a smile. "Yes, Mr. Lancaster, I hope you can work with me against Hendrik."

Owen was not interested in the business world; his power and wealth were beyond everyone else. He did not need a partner.

He looked at Jackson sarcastically and curled his lips. "Who do you think you are? Do you think your bottle of wine can move me?"

Jackson saw Owen's facial expression; he was enraged, but he had to suppress his anger. "No… But I have the world's top intelligence network; you can get any information you desire."

He showed his biggest bargaining chip.

But Owen was not interested. He waved his hands impatiently and asked, "So what? Do you think your network can be better than mine?"

"Alright, you should head back. I agreed to see you because I want to see who was the one who almost killed my future son-in-law."

"You're much weaker than I imagined; no wonder my injured future son-in-law could still win against you."

After being mocked, Jackson's face crumpled, and he showed his true color. "But, do you know the real identity of Hendrik?"

Own raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you?"

Hendrik was out of his league; he could not track him down.

So, it was only natural that he did not think someone as lowly and unworthy as Jackson could be.

Jackson did not answer his question; instead, he made his request by saying, "Yes. I know. But I won't tell you for free; if you work with us, I'll definitely help stabilize your political power." He spoke confidently.

I'm sure people like Owen want to know about Hendrik's identity!

"Enough with your bullsh*t; f*ck off." Owen did not believe it one bit.

Then he sneered, "Someone as lowly as you couldn't possibly see him before. Enough with your tricks!"

"If not… I can't guarantee your safety back home…" He threatened Jackson.

"Mr. Lancaster, since you didn't believe me; I'll tell you who Hendrik is to show my sincerity..." Jackson clenched his palms with cold sweat.

"He's Han, your future son-in-law."

He knew that Owen was reluctant to work with him, so he had to ruin Han's protection.

Even if Han was not the fiancé of the princess of Fetriybia, he could be easily defeated.

He would not be as powerful by then, even though he was also Hendrik.

From what he knew, Hendrik's power and the Kendrick Group were mainly focused overseas.

His power was shaken in the country as The White Group and some of his companies were snatched away from him.

"Ha, ha, ha! Are you losing your mind?" Owen's laughter brought him to his senses.

"Ethan could never be Hendrik; if not, he would not be under my control."

"And, so what if he's Hendrik? I don't give a damn about it; he can even bring Fetriybia prosperity if he's really Hendrik."

Owen laughed none stop, as if it was the biggest joke he had ever heard.

He felt that meeting Jackson was a good decision; he had a good laugh.

Jackson was humiliated and ridiculed; his face darkened, and he left Owen's presidential suite.

On the way, he smashed a vase angrily, and he cursed. "Owen Lancaster, you're such a stubborn scumbag! Why would you not want to win against Hendrik? I shall look for someone else to work with…"

After Jackson left, Owen's face crumpled, and he asked his assistant to bring Han to him.

Han entered his suite, and there was a heavy scent of wine. He walked up expressionlessly to Owen.

"Mr. Lancaster, what do you need from me?" His plan was not fully completed, so he found it hard to play along with Owen.

The Howard Group was still controlled by Shawn, and he would not give it back to him easily. And the branch of the Kendrik Group in Fetriybia was not completed yet...

So, Owen was deemed useful to him now.

Owen sat casually in the chair, and he looked at Han. "I heard that you didn't pay much attention to Anna recently."

"You better know your place. You're nothing without us. You better don't piss me off."

Anna heard that Owen had brought Han here; she secretly stood at the door and eavesdropped on their conversation.

She frowned upon hearing Owen's words. Ethan has a very strong character; he wouldn't be happy hearing such words...

Just as she expected, Han talked in a cold, lowered voice. "Mr.Lancaster, I'm truly disappointed in you."
