Chapter 43
In the Lamere family villa, Molly grinned while slicing some meat and putting it on Han’s plate. Han paused for a moment and ate it without emotion.
She wanted to cut some more for him, but he stopped her. “Stop. I’m full.”
“But you only ate a little.”
“I’m not here for dinner today.” Han put down his cutlery and spoke frankly, “You’re the one behind the news scandal.” His tone was firm.
Molly’s smile froze, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. She put down her cutlery and forced herself to look cheerful. “So, Han, are you here to interrogate me today? Are you willing to do this for a woman you’ve only met a few times?”
“No, I’m just angry,” Han uttered.
“Why are you angry? What’s wrong?” Molly panicked.
Han explained, “I have nothing to do with Sarah White, but you’re creating such a mess. You don’t trust me.”
“No, I trust you… Han, Listen to me, I just, I just…” Molly panicked and wanted to explain.
She loved Han to the bone, and she would be nervous even if he was a little upset. She had fabricated the scandal out of jealousy; she did not want to see any woman next to Han.
Han looked at her coldly. “I’ll take care of it.” After that, he left.
At this moment, someone entered the villa. It was Leah, who looked haggard. As soon as Leah saw Han in the Lamere family’s living room, her gaze wavered. He must be related to this matter.
When Molly noticed Leah, her expression turned gloomy in an instant. “Why are you here?”
Leah shifted her gaze from Han and uttered slowly, “I’m here to tell you that I’m willing to go abroad, and I won’t return within five years. Can you stop putting pressure on my father’s business?”
Han furrowed his brow when he heard that. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Molly chuckled coldly. “Ms. White, I remember giving you a chance two days ago, but you didn’t cherish it. What makes you think I’ll change my mind now?”
Leah bit her lip. She expected that Molly would humiliate her, but it was something she had to endure.
“What do you want me to do so that you’ll spare the White family?” Leah asked, biting her lip.
Molly glanced at Han next to her. She suddenly grinned, “Kneel and apologize to me. Then, cut your face with a knife. If you do that, I’ll forgive you and your family. Can you do it?”
Leah wavered upon hearing her words. Molly’s humiliating tactics haven’t changed at all.
However, if that was what it took for Molly to let go of the White family, Leah would do it willingly.
“Okay,” She nodded, bending her knees slowly under Molly’s cold gaze.
After Leah knelt down, she uttered, “Ms. Lamere, I apologize for what I did.”
“Will you seduce a married man again?” Molly asked.
Leah bit her lips, feeling humiliated. “I won’t.”
Seeing that, Han felt somewhat disturbed. Even though he had met that woman only a few times before, he felt annoyed when he saw her humiliated.
“Now, your face.” Molly threw a dagger at Leah.
Leah’s gaze shifted downward to the dagger on the floor. She took a deep breath and picked it up.
Anyway, this face was given to me by the White family. It doesn’t matter if it’s destroyed…
She slowly moved the dagger to her face and gritted her teeth.
“Enough.” Han suddenly stepped forward and took the dagger from her.
Molly’s expression became vicious. “Who is she to you, Han? Is she more important to you than I am?”
Han stared at Molly and laughed coldly. “What are you trying to prove?”
Molly tried to explain, but Han continued, “This has nothing to do with her. She won’t affect our relationship.”
“What do you mean?” Molly was stunned.
Han glanced at Leah. Looking into her eyes that were staring at him, he was reminded of someone. He sighed inwardly. “I’ll arrange the date of our engagement as soon as possible. Let’s not get anyone else involved.”
Molly was stunned momentarily, but she immediately felt happy afterward. She stood up and looked at Han shyly. “Is it true, Han?”
Han threw the dagger aside and glared at Leah. “Get lost.”
Leah looked at him dumbfoundedly. She did not understand why Han helped her. No, maybe he isn’t speaking up for me but for the White family. In any case, he pulled me out from a tight spot. She nodded hurriedly, stood up, and left.
Suddenly, the White family’s troubles were gone. Jane and Gordon sensed that there was something more than met the eye. After all, they did not agree to Molly’s condition, so how could the Lamere family let them go?
That midnight, Jane knocked on Leah’s door. “Sarah, are you asleep?”
“Not yet.” Leah opened the door half-heartedly.
Jane walked in and handed her a glass of milk. “I’d like to ask you about the Lamere family.”
Leah knew what she wanted to ask, so she told her the whole story. Jane was very angry when she heard that. “Molly Lamere is too much! I’m so sorry you have to go through all this, Sarah.”
Leah smiled, “No, I’m sorry that you two have to go through all this.”
“Speaking of which, I’m quite surprised that Han pleaded for you.”Jane sighed and said, “He might seem aloof, but he values affection highly. We took care of him for some time when he was a child, and he’s been a good boy.” After she finished speaking, she glanced at Leah apologetically. “I just don’t know why he did that to you….”
“You don’t have to apologize.” Leah took Jane’s hand. “I’m part of the White family now. Since Han helped us, he is our benefactor.”
“It’s good you think that way. I’ll invite him to our house for dinner this weekend. What do you think?”
Leah halted for a second. Although she did not want to see Han again, she had to admit that he helped the White family. She said, “I’ll leave it to you.”
Jane caressed her hair lovingly and left. Before leaving, Leah called out to her. “By the way, I have something to discuss with you”
