Ch. 476..480: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 476-480
chapter 476 A Quick and Decisive Battle
The luxurious palace contained a deathly silence, and Shawn’s cold voice echoed throughout its massive hall.
The subordinate was completely tensed up in fright. Drumming up whatever courage he had, he replied, “M-My lord, at the moment, we only have a small number of mechanical dogs with biotracking capabilities. In addition, Mr. Hendrik is hampering the progress of our AI testing facilities. Internationally, more and more of our experimental products are being blacklisted from further development.”
His voice grew weaker as he finished his report.
Without a trace of emotion on his face, Shawn fell silent for a while. Then, he abruptly bursted with anger.
Grabbing his subordinate by the collar, Shawn beat down on his face as he shouted, “Useless imbeciles! The whole lot of you! You’re telling me that even with the combined might of two major nations and the entirety of Veyris, you still can’t take care of someone like Hendrik?! Who the hell does he think he is? Didn’t our AI testing facilities fall under the purview of the Veyrisian alliance committee? How in God’s name did his influence reach all the way here?!”
Releasing the anger he had pent up for a long time, Shawn felt utterly resentful of Han at that moment.
Not only did he lose to Han in the field of romance, even his all but assured success with the experimental products from the AI testing facility was now in jeopardy because of the latter’s tight rein. Shawn was completely indignant.
He continued raining punches on his subordinate as he yelled. Soon after, the subordinate was beaten completely to a pulp, then tossed away like an old rag.
Shawn looked down at the subordinate he abused, then with a disgusted look on his face, he ordered, “Get this piece of trash out of my sight!”
The other subordinates standing to the side hurriedly dragged the beaten and bloodied person away.
Shawn stopped one of them. With a stern glare, he asked, “How many mechanical dogs can we mobilize right now?”
The subordinate that was stopped felt as though he had just been caught by a venomous snake. His voice almost cracking from the fear, he replied, “F-Five, my lord. A lot of the necessary materials we needed to develop the mechanical dogs have been locked down by Mr. Hendrik. We were only able to muster so many–”
Shawn’s eyes gleamed, and he said, “That’s good enough. Send them all to Pasteria, and remember to do it discreetly. I want you to bring me Sarah White!”
…
Nighttime. Victoria Precinct.
Leah had just had dinner and played with Carlotta. After which, she found Han in the study and asked, “Babe, did you find anything on Mr. Ford?”
The strange text she had received earlier during the day made her very restless.
Her intuition was telling her it had come from Shawn Ford. However, no one had any new information on Shawn. Not herself, Susan, or Han.
Noticing that she was upset, Han immediately put down the documents he was reading. Frowning, he pulled her into his embrace and stroked her cold face with his slender fingers. He asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you so afraid? The only thing I’m sure of is that he hasn’t returned to the country yet. I’ve already set up an intricate security web nationwide. As soon as he steps into our borders, we’ll get him.”
Leah was very relieved to hear Han’s words.
She snuggled into a more comfortable position in his embrace, then took out her phone to show him the strange message she had received. “I got this today. I think it has to do with Mr. Ford. I know how he works. Whenever he’s about to undertake a major scheme, he’ll try to rattle his opponent’s mentality with some peculiar action and make them feel frightened.”
Seeing the gloomy expression on Han’s face, Leah got a little confused and asked, “What’s wrong?”
‘Why does it look like he’s angry? I don’t think I said anything wrong. All I did was tell him some of my concerns.’
Seeing how oblivious Leah was made Han even more furious, and his gaze turned cold.
He pursed his lips, then said with a deep tone, “It seems like you understand him pretty well, hmm?”
‘You can even analyze his personality to such a detailed extent. I wish you knew me as well as you know him’ he thought. A wave of jealousy filled every inch of his body, and the air around him grew colder by the second.
Leah was speechless as she thought, ‘How is this even related?’
She said, “Stay on topic. I feel like he has been preparing some kind of major scheme during the time he’s disappeared.”
Han was unfazed. Hugging her tightly, he frowned and said, “So what if he is? I’ve cut off all his puppet strings. There’s nothing he can use to go against us now.”
Han didn’t think it was possible for Shawn to pull something from under his nose.
Leah sighed in relief at Han’s confidence, but she still warned, “But we still haven’t heard from him this whole time. It’s like he’s just biding his time in the shadows before making a decisive strike.”
The idea of this made her very anxious.
However, Han paid her no heed. He looked at her coldly and said, “Instead of worrying about him, why don’t you think about how to cheer me up? Ever since you came in, you’ve been talking about Shawn Ford non-stop. I’m very upset right now.”
Leah finally came to and realized why Han was behaving the way he was. He seemed like he was in a really bad mood.
…
If things were like they were in the past, he would’ve tried to physically force her mouth shut long ago. However, he was a changed man now, and would patiently listen to her dronings.
She chuckled and lifted her head from his embrace, speaking softly, “Aww, babe. Can’t you see that it’s precisely because I’m worried about us that I’ve come here to discuss things over with you?”
The gentle tone of her voice was like the fluttering snow outside the window, slowly landing on Han’s burning rage and making him weak.
While the negative feelings inside of him had dissipated greatly, Han was still dissatisfied. Pinching Leah’s cheeks with his fingers, he said, “Don’t think you’ll get away with it that easily.”
“Then what do you want me to do?” Leah was a little confused, as she wasn’t good at comforting others.
Not to mention, the person she was trying to cheer up right now was the Supreme Overlord Han Howard. How was she supposed to know how to meet his demands?
Han revealed a playful smile and brought his face beside her ear, whispering in a low voice, “I want a kiss.”
He had always been the one to initiate their kisses, so sometimes, he wanted her to make the first move instead.
Leah’s face instantly flushed a bright red from that short request. Feeling her body grow hot from the
suggestive air between them, she argued, “I’m trying to be serious with you here!”
I should’ve known his head is always filled with stuff like this!
The embarrassed look on her face tugged at Han’s heartstrings. He raised his seductive lips slightly and said, “I don’t mind kissing you too.”
He leaned in and pressed his lips square on Leah’s right as he finished his sentence.
The soft and cold sensation on his lips was melting him from the inside out.
As the night progressed, the blizzard outside got much heavier than before.
Under the blistering wind, the once bustling city gradually turned still and mysterious.
Several shadowy figures were quietly approaching the Victoria Precinct under the guise of the snow.
Moving like a gust of wind across the greenery, wherever these shadows passed, the snow fell from the trees.
As they were approaching the Victoria Precinct, one of the shadows raised his hand and called for the rest to halt.
“Remember your mission and don’t attract too much attention. Be quick and decisive.”
Chapter 477 - As Stupid As Your Master
The snowy field was deathly quiet, with shadows dancing in the deep blackness of the night.
Snowflakes fluttered gently as the city grew colder.
Leah had just locked the window in Carlotta’s room. Frowning, she scolded, “Carlotta, you are not allowed to open the window any more! It’s been such a cold day and it gets even colder at night, so no more watching the snow for you. If you want to, Daddy and I’ll take you out to see the snow tomorrow.”
It was perfectly understandable for children to be curious about such things, but with the looming danger of Ravensong around the corner, Leah had to be as careful as she could. Given their expertise with poison and assassinations, there was no telling where they could be striking from.
Even though Han had men covering the entire Victoria Precinct, she figured it would be better for her to be extra vigilant as well.
“Thump.” A soft noise came from the window. It seemed like the sound of a piece of snow knocking into the glass.
Leah lifted Carlotta up and stared at the darkness outside the room, her fingers slowly tightening.
I hope I’m just being paranoid.
Ever since she received that strange text, she had been feeling a sense of foreboding in her heart.
If Shawn Ford’s intention was to cause her such distress, then he had succeeded.
“Mommy, are there bad people outside? You look very worried.” Even Carlotta could sense the strong worry Leah was experiencing from her embrace.
The cutie followed her mother’s gaze beyond the window. Blinking, she turned back to Leah and said, “Are those bad people I saw the other day still hanging around outside the window?”
Sometimes, a child’s powerful intuition was astonishing.
Leah responded with a gentle smile. Stroking Carlotta’s soft hair, she said, “Don’t worry. I have faith that Daddy will protect us.”
With Han around, she didn’t have to worry too much. Not to the extent of getting insomnia, at least.
As her mother gently laid her down in bed, Carlotta smirked and said, “Ohh, it looks like Mommy and Daddy are getting along very well these days. You never used to say something embarrassing like ‘having faith in Daddy’.”
Leah’s face flushed slightly at Carlotta’s words, and she felt a soft lingering pain on her lips from when Han had gently bitten on it.
“W-What story do you want to hear? Mommy will tell you,” Leah was desperate to change the subject.
Carlotta was naturally happy to know that her parents were getting along. Seeing the embarrassment on her mother’s face, Carlotta smiled widely and replied, “I want to listen to–”
Right when the mother and daughter were having their story time.
Accompanied by the billowing snow, several dangerous shadows approached Victoria Precinct and quietly stopped right outside Han’s villa.
“Be careful and follow the plan. We’re going to lure the bodyguards around the outer perimeter away–” a hoarse voice said in a cold tone.
As soon as the instructions were given, the rest of the shadows quickly moved into position.
They scattered themselves all over Han’s villa and were evidently tasked with leading his bodyguards away from the area.
“Code red! It’s Ravensong. After them!”
Shortly after, the vicinity around the villa quieted down.
The strong blizzard winds brought with it a piercing chill, making the pitch-blackness of the night seem that much more suspicious and dangerous.
However, right when the remaining Ravensong members were about to launch an assault on the villa, a bunch of lights around the outer perimeter lit up.
The massive lights made the entire villa as bright as day and effectively sealed off all paths of retreat for the remaining Ravensong members.
Han’s slender figure was slowly stepping into the blizzard. The pure white snow continued to fall against his handsome face and distinctive lips.
There was a strong murderous intent in his expression. Breaking out into a ruthless smile, he said, “Idiots. You are all as stupid as the Ms. Lancaster whom you serve.”
Ross appeared as well, scoffing, “As we figured, the arrogance of old families is still going strong with you all. With current advancements in science, you’re still resorting to uncivilized methods like ambushing in the dark? Our security cameras have already got you back when you were outside Victoria Precinct!”
As he said this, Ross gave a signal. Almost immediately, many fully-armed personnel arrived and surrounded the Ravensong members.
It was decided.
There was no escape for the group of assassins that Ravensong had sent here.
Soon, both sides began to fight.
The Ravensong members could tell that they would soon lose the battle. An old-looking man among them was getting ready to charge in, but he was pulled back by another. “Brother! We need to retreat! Han Howard had prepared this ambush for us right from the start!”
The man stubbornly rebuked, “Did you forget what our family creed is? We either complete our missions, or we die trying! If you want to cower and hide, then hurry up and piss off!”
The younger man was embarrassed to be mocked like that, but he still wouldn’t let the other person go. “Why should we listen to that woman in the first place? She’s clearly treating us like cannon fodder. Are the lives of our brethren not worth anything?”
While the two of them were arguing, the rest of the Ravensong members had already been subdued.
Finally realizing that the odds were stacked against them, the older man had no choice but to cut his losses and retreat.
“Boss, aren’t we going after them?” Ross stood by Han’s side and asked.
Han coldly glanced over the Ravensong members that were subdued, and said, “Take them all to the police station. As for the two rats that slinked away, send someone to follow them, but do it discreetly. We don’t want to alarm them.”
Ross immediately understood Han’s intentions. His eyes gleamed as he asked, “Boss, you’re trying to tail them and find their base, right? I got it. I’ll have someone follow them right away!”
As the lights around the villa went out, the world returned to its cold, dark state.
Han went to Carlotta’s room and found that Leah had just finished telling the child a story and put her to bed.
Both returned to the bedroom afterwards. As she closed the door, Leah mentioned with a serious expression, “I didn’t expect Ravensong to strike this quickly.”
The worry in her heart was growing rapidly as she thought, ‘What would happen if Carlotta was to get
caught in the crossfire? Not to mention, Serena and Mr. Wright could be dragged in as well.’
Right as she was spiraling out of control, a pair of giant hands suddenly, but gently pressed down on her cheeks. “Listen here!”
Han brought his face right in front of hers. Staring at her with his deep, black eyes, he assured, “With me around, no one will get hurt. Stop thinking about those pointless affairs. The only thing that should be on your mind is this–”
He stopped his sentence midway, then leaned closer and whispered beside her ear, “–keeping your promise of marrying me next spring.”
His warm breath beside her neck had Leah feeling a little bit hot too.
With flushed cheeks, she answered slowly, “I know.”
It was now the peak of winter, and spring would be upon them soon enough.
Not long after Christmas would be New Year’s.
And in another month after, the flowers would be starting to bloom.
As for Ravensong, after tonight’s failed mission, their chapter in history would be permanently closed.
The two that had escaped led Ross and his men right to their base of operations, and with it, the locations of all their members were revealed as well.
As the day broke, Ross sent a congratulatory message to Han: “Boss, we’ve got everyone from Ravensong under control. We also have a lead on the locations of all their members, domestically as well as overseas. We’ve already contacted the relevant authorities to conduct their arrests.”
Chapter 478 Don’t Learn From Han
At Fetriybia Palace.
The bright morning sun shone into the palace early and presented a piece of gold and jade splendor.
In the ancient style elegant hall, the tempting aroma of breakfast and the pleasant milk smell permeated the air.
Anna was sitting at the dining table while drinking warm milk. She could not stop laughing wildly.
"Sarah, that b*tch! She's finally dead!"
Ravensong probably succeeded in taking Sarah down last night. Even if Ethan sent bodyguards to protect her, she couldn't escape. After all, Ravensong is an internationally renowned assassination organization!
During a meal, Anna had imagined the scene of Leah's tragic death.
The maid next to her frowned. "Your Highness, we lost contact with all Ravensong's strongholds now. Could something happen? And those who went to assassinate Sarah last night have not responded yet."
Anna also frowned. "It's indeed strange, but it may be that they've made a big disturbance in the country, so they want to disappear temporarily as not to be chased by the international police..."
Pfft!
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a sarcastic laugh.
Shawn walked up to Anna with graceful steps, which aroused her disgust.
Anna glared at him coldly. "What are you doing here? I'm so unlucky to see your weird face early in the morning! Don't think you can do whatever you want after we get married! Your status won't be higher than mine! I warn you. I only belong to Ethan!"
D*mn Shawn! He's been getting out of control recently! After I stabilize my power in Fetriybia and get the news that Sarah is dead, I'll ask Dad to kill him sooner or later!
Seeing the murderous intent in Anna's eyes, Shawn withdrew his smile, and his coldness slowly overflowed around him.
He said slightly, "Anna, did I warn you not to send Ravensong out? If they fail the mission, we'll lose our ace."
His expressionless query made Anna get angry immediately. "It's none of your business! Ravensong belongs to the Fetriybia royal family. I have jurisdiction over it! You are too useless! Why are you so afraid of Ethan? No matter how powerful he is, he can't compete with Ravensong! No one can cure their poison!"
Anna's confident appearance dissipated the last trace of patience in Shawn's heart.
He approached Anna and slapped her hard. "You b*tch! Your stupid actions last night made
Ravensong gone!"
His elegant appearance collapsed, and he no longer looked like the handsome young man he used to be. He revealed his long-lost anger and murderous intent, which made Anna tremble with fear.
She covered her cheeks and looked at him in disbelief. "What did you say? Ravensong failed to kill Sarah?"
Impossible! Sarah or Ethan can't guess Ravensong's actions! How could it fail?
"You must be lying to me, right? You just want me not to kill Sarah and think of such a clumsy way!" Anna stood up with a crazy smile. Her eyes instantly wandered with majestic anger.
"You can do nothing but leech off a woman! How dare you hit me..."
Bang! Before she could finish speaking, Shawn kicked her hard to the ground.
"Read it yourself! Do you still think your plan is perfect?"
Shawn slammed several documents on Anna's face. His killing intent distorted his expression, and he wanted to cut Anna into pieces.
This b*tch deserves the hits! Whether a noble lady or a princess, no one in the world is in my eyes except Sarah! But Sarah does not belong to me. She only has Han in her eyes. If Han hadn't returned as an investment tycoon, Sarah and I would have gotten married!
"You stupid b*tch! You exposed our plan in advance! It will be much more difficult to deal with them
now!"
The more Shawn thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so furious that he punched and kicked Anna.
Ever since Anna was born, no one had ever made her suffer. She cried and cursed when Shawn hit her. "How dare you hit me! I'll ask my dad to kill you! You won't be Prince Ricardo leisurely!"
Shawn temporarily retracted his foot as he was tired. He sneered. "It's a pity. Everything in Zardova is mine now."
Anna was in complete despair.
Just then, a text message came to Shawn's phone.
Bernard wrote, "Prince Ricardo, I've successfully put your mechanical dog there. We only need to wait for it to attack the target."
Seeing the text message, Shawn felt his mood improved a lot. His revenge plan all went well.
...
At Villa Victoria.
"Today's Christmas. Let's invite everyone to eat hot pot together!" Leah leaned against Han and smiled lightly.
Han held her tender hands and nodded. "Okay."
"Ben's injury can have stitches removed today, and he's completely healed. If he wants to get close to Serena, he has no excuse anymore." Leah sighed.
Leah hoped they had a good meal together at Christmas and could be more honest with each other. Judging from Serena taking care of Ben during this time, Leah could see that Serena was not that annoying to him.
In the evening, it was completely dark.
Han's villa was full of people. There were several hot pots and exquisite dishes on the long dining table. The hot pot was steaming, and the spicy aroma seemed incompatible with this luxurious villa.
Susan was sweating while eating, and she pointed at Ben dissatisfied. "Ben, you are too obtuse! Serena has cared for you for so long. Why don't you get her something to eat?"
"No need!" Serena refused immediately. She ran to Leah like a frightened rabbit while holding the bowl.
Serena moved Carlotta, who sat beside Leah, to Han's leg. Then, Serena took Carlotta's seat and was relieved. "I declare first. I cared for Ben because he saved me, and I thanked him. From now on, we'll return to normal!"
Serena's explicit refusal made Ben sad, but he instantly cheered himself up when he saw the scene of Han and Leah smiling at each other.
He and Serena did not experience as much as Han and Leah. He had a long way to go, so he could
not be discouraged.
"Boss, I'll learn from you!" Ben suddenly shouted firmly and solemnly.
For a while, Leah felt embarrassed for Ben. She blushed and hurriedly asked Ben to eat, "Let's eat first..."
Learn from Han? That's not a good idea.
It was cold and snowy outside, and the villa was warm and pleasant. The steaming sound of the hot pot was particularly healing.
Martin took pictures of the warm and happy appearance of everyone gathered together. He smiled gratifiedly. "I hope everyone's relationship will always be so good..."
Chapter 479 The Illusion of the Long Future
Late at night, after eating hot pot, Susan waved to everyone.
"It will be New Year in a while. Let's go to my villa for a gathering next time!"
"Okay!" Everyone agreed to Susan's warm invitation.
When Susan left, the snowflakes were still falling.
Leah was a little cold and was about to enter the villa when Serena grabbed her.
"Sarah, now that we've settled Ravensong's matter. I'll go back to sleep at home tomorrow." Serena smiled and tilted her head. "Do you want to sleep with me tonight..."
"Cannot."
Before Serena finished speaking, Han pulled Leah into his arms and wrapped his hands around her waist.
He glanced at Serena unwaveringly. "If you're lonely, Ben can accompany you."
Everyone always likes to cling to Leah. Why do I not only guard against men but also against women?
Leah did not expect Han to make fun of Serena, and she almost could not hold back her smile. "Serena, we'll see each other a lot in the future. We can sleep together next time when Han is away."
As soon as she said that, she felt a pain in her waist. It was Han who hugged her harder.
Serena glared at Han angrily. "You cunning fox! You even guard a woman! I'm going to chat with Sarah! You..."
Serena wanted to continue, but Ben blocked her gaze at Han.
Ben said helplessly, "Ms. Coleman, please understand my boss. After all, he finally managed to catch up with Ms. White. It's normal for him to be possessive."
Han glared at Ben and said slightly, "Shut up if you can't speak well."
It sounds like I'm shamelessly pestering Leah.
"Alright. Please stop arguing." As Leah saw Han making trouble everywhere, she took his arm and entered the villa.
At the same time, Leah turned and bid farewell to Serena. "See you next time!"
Seeing Leah's smiling face, Serena dissipated her anger. She smiled and waved to Leah. "Okay, let's chat in the company next time! Idlers are not allowed! But I won't go to the company tomorrow. I want to hire someone to clean my house!"
At this moment, they all thought their future would be long and would see each other when they wanted to.
The night was getting darker, and the cold and misty air covered Leah's back, which made her look a little ethereal and unreal.
After a comfortable bath, Leah came to Carlotta's room and told her a bedtime story.
"Carlotta, that's all for today. I'll continue tomorrow." After a while, Carlotta became sleepy, and Leah closed the storybook.
Carlotta was already very sleepy and answered Leah in a daze, "Um... Okay, Mommy..."
After covering Carlotta with the quilt, Leah kissed Carlotta lightly on the forehead and left the room.
When Leah returned to the bedroom, she saw Han come out of the shower with a towel around his waist. He presented his strong muscles, and drops of water slid from his chest down the entire abdomen.
His every move was attractive, and his handsome face made Leah nervous.
Leah felt her cheeks hot uncontrollably, and her eyes looked away erratically as if she had not seen him. She walked quickly to the bed and covered herself in the quilt.
Han looks thin when dressed but looks strong when undressed.
Just as she was thinking about Han, she felt Han approach her. He also got into the quilt and leaned toward her, and she heard his sexy and hoarse voice.
"You want to pretend you haven't seen me?"
His scorching breath sprayed on her neck, which made her heart beat fast. Leah quickly got out of his arms and left the quilt.
She flushed, and she pretended to be calm while trembling. "Yes, I saw you! So what?"
F*ck! He's so good at teasing!
Han smiled when Leah refuted him. A hint of tease flashed in his eyes. "Good. You're more courageous than before."
In the past, she would blush and say she did not see anything.
Leah felt a little angry at Han's tease. Why does it sound like he treats me like a child?
"I said it right! So what if you don't wear clothes?" Leah faded away from the shyness. She glared at him and snorted coldly.
"Do you mean it's my fault?" Han sat next to her and hugged her into his arms again. He overflowed with tenderness all over. "Should I apologize to you?"
His pampering appearance made Leah's heartbeat deafening, and she felt like to get an electric shock. To avoid him finding that she was blushing, she buried her head in his arms and said muffledly, "No need. Let's sleep now. I have to go to work tomorrow."
While speaking, her lips touched his strong muscles, and after realizing it, they froze.
"Leah, did you do it on purpose?" Han gritted his teeth, and his deep voice was a little hoarse.
Sensing the change in his body, Leah felt her heart tighten. She struggled to get out of his embrace. "I didn't mean it! It's already two o'clock. I have to go to the company for a meeting tomorrow morning..."
She quickly explained and regretted what she had done to him just now. But after she struggled for a long time, she was still tightly held in Han's arms. His cold fragrance filled her nostrils and alleviated all the fatigue in her heart.
Just as Leah gave up on herself and thought Han would do something, he only smiled, took her into the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
He kissed her cheek with warm and soft lips, then said softly, "Sleep now. I'll let you go this time. If you're dissatisfied with me or don't want me to do certain things, just bring it up. I'll change it."
Leah could not imagine hearing those words from Han. He was as proud as a king but could lower his posture to her. He did think about their future.
For no reason, she wanted to cry. She nodded slightly. "Okay."
Han can make a change for me. Should I try to get along with him like an ordinary couple instead of avoiding him?
The next day. Leah went to the company early. As soon as Leah entered, the assistant at the front desk greeted her.
"Ms. White, you're finally here! Those shareholders had made trouble. They all say they want to
withdraw their shares. If this situation continues, it will break our capital chain! They all left for the same reason. They all wanted to switch to Frey Corporation, which has a better development prospect..."
Chapter 480 Target Locked
The wind and snow outside had stopped, and the world was quiet.
In Leah's office, the fragrance of tea wafted quietly. Leah looked at the documents with a frown, then put them aside.
"It was Frey Corporation. They've poached our people."
While she and Serena hid from Ravensong, it seemed that Frey Corporation had secretly done something. They had poached all the talents in certain positions from her company!
The assistant nodded eagerly. "Yes, I found Frey Corporation made a fuss about your failure to win the design competition. He said our company has no future for development. Many high-level personnel or employees have switched jobs to go there!"
Leah was full of thought. "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"
The assistant thought Leah was blaming her, and her eyes turned red with fright. "Ms. White, it happened suddenly last night. They both resigned at the same time. I didn't have a chance to inform you last night."
Seeing her crying assistant, Leah smiled comfortingly. "It's fine. I won't blame you. The large-scale resignation will lead to a serious impact on the company. Are the people from the legal department still there? Ask them to sue those people."
Leah would not forgive those people.
Han had given the people in the legal department to her. They would always be there if the company did not go out of business.
"People from the legal department and public relations department are all here, and now the public opinion on the internet is also controlled by us. Everyone has great sympathy for our matter, and the direction of public opinion is good." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the luck of the misfortune. Dream Designs would have suffered severe losses if they had lost the opportunity to control public opinion.
Leah looked cold. "Well, don't worry about the broken capital chain. I'll make up for it. I can take this opportunity to remove those dishonest people from the company."
It was a lie to say she was not angry, but being angry was useless. She used means to take advantage of this incident to establish her prestige. In the future, Dream Designs would have to weigh the consequences of such a betrayal for no reason.
Although Dream Designs was a start-up company, no one could destroy it!
"Go find me all the documents I listed..."
It was already 7.00 pm after Leah perfected the company's new regulations and some welfare rules, then dealt with the tedious affairs of those traitors.
It was getting dark early in winter. Under the warm and bright street lamps, light snow began to fall
profusely.
Leah withdrew her gaze from the window. She picked up the coat on the chair and left work. While waiting for the elevator to arrive, she saw Carlotta's text message.
"Mommy, the delicious dinner is ready. You and Daddy have to come back quickly. We're going to have dinner together." Carlotta even attached a photo after the text message.
Ding dong! The elevator arrived.
Leah walked into the elevator while answering the text message with a smile. She did not notice the exquisite mechanical dog in the elevator at all. As soon as she entered the elevator, it suddenly shot a scarlet light from its rigid eyes.
"Target locked! Ready to launch the anesthetic!" The mechanical sound came.
Leah replied to Carlotta halfway through when she heard that. She turned around inexplicably. "What target?"
She was the only person in the elevator. She wondered who was talking.
She turned and saw a silver-white mechanical dog the size of a small puppy. Before she could react, she felt a stabbing pain in her leg.
She panicked suddenly. Could it be the robot dog that Han told me about? Why do they use it against me?
Before she had time to call Han, she fainted and collapsed in the elevator. Her phone dropped to the ground, and the text chat screen with Carlotta gradually faded.
The wind and snow outside were a bit colder, and Ross, who had been waiting outside Dream Designs for a long time, did not see Leah coming out. He felt panicked.
He hurriedly led someone into the company to look for Leah, but he only found Leah's phone in the elevator.
It's over! Something happened to Mrs. Howard!
Ross quickly called Han. "Boss, I've been waiting for Mrs. Howard for twenty minutes, but I didn't see her come out. I wondered if something had happened to her, so I hurried to find her. But I only found her mobile phone. Boss, please hurry up and ask someone to locate her current location!"
Han had installed micro-geolocators in the set of Poppy jewelry that he gave Leah.
The news of Leah's disappearance was like a sharp knife. It slashed at Han's heart and made Han drip with blood.
Han could no longer continue the meeting, so he hurriedly got up and went to the office. "Notify and mobilize everyone to block Linkville!"
Seeing Han leave in a hurry, the other high-level executives in the meeting looked confused and discussed under their breath.
"What's wrong with Mr. Hendrik? It's the first time I've seen him so flustered..."
"Could it be that Kendrick Group is about to go bankrupt?"
"Impossible! Even if the earth exploded, Kendrick Group couldn't go bankrupt!"
"Then... Could it be that his girlfriend wants to break up with him?"
"It's possible. After all, I heard Mr. Hendrik loves his girlfriend very much..."
Everyone did not know what had happened for a while, and they were all discussing Han's gossip.
On the other side, Han had no time to pay attention to those people's discussions, and the dense panic in his heart made him restless.
Leah will be fine!
"How is it going? Did you find her?" Han came to the IT department. He tightly furrowed, and a gloomy look quickly flashed in his eyes.
He was careless. He thought enough to arrange bodyguards outside Dream Designs but did not expect the enemy to sneak inside.
"Mr. Hendrik, Mrs. Howard was in distress in the elevator. The elevator that was supposed to stop on the first floor went directly to the basement garage. As for the monitoring in the garage, someone had hacked all of them. I think they took Mrs. Howard away from there..."
"F*ck! Didn't I ask the bodyguards to defend Dream Designs in all directions?" Han was suddenly
furious, and his eyes were full of anger.
He revealed a cold and powerful killing intent, and the air pressure in the IT department suddenly dropped.
Everyone felt a tight heart, broke out in cold sweat, and it was hard to breathe.
It's over! Mr. Hendrik will kill us!
Just as they thought of that, Han took a gun from his pocket expressionlessly. "Call those useless bodyguards who had been in charge of protecting Leah."
Seeing that, Ben felt his heart beat fast. He hurried to Han's side to dissuade him. "Boss, don't! Mrs. Howard must feel sorry if she knows you kill them!"
Indeed, Mrs. Howard has always been kind-hearted. Alfred's sacrifice made her depressed for a long time. She will be sad if Boss kills many people because of her disappearance.
Leah's name calmed Han, but he still could not dissipate the cold and murderous look in his eyes.
"Strike Fetriybia immediately and block all Veyris' economies!"
