Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Countermeasure

It was quite unusual for the entire Veyris to ostracize a startup company like Dream Designs.

Leah put her phone away. She knew this was Anna's doing. After all, Anna married Shawn so they now controlled the two most important seaports on Veyris.

"Sarah, they are trying to cut us off from the entire market. If this carries on, our company will..." Serena was deeply concerned. It didn't take long for her to put two and two together. "That Anna wants to destroy your career now that she failed to take Han from you."

"Forget about her." Leah wasn't too riled up. "We need to make sure the public is on our side. Tell our PR department to increase our visibility and debunk any negative rumors."

Serena nodded in agreement. "You're a genius, Sarah. We can sway the royal family if the public supports us."

She immediately headed into her room and contacted the PR department. If anything could hold Leah back from her plan tomorrow, it would be Carlotta. She entered her daughter's room just to see that Carlotta was half-asleep.

"You're done talking already, Mommy? Are you going to tell me a story now?" Carlotta ducked out from the sheet and rubbed her eyes.

Leah's heart grew tender with Carlotta's infantile voice. "Which story do you want to hear tonight?"

"Anything, Mommy." Carlotta gave a bright smile.

It was a peaceful winter night, like the calm before the storm.

Leah woke up to a rainy day the next morning. Han didn't return home at all. After she had breakfast with Carlotta, Leah nagged,

"Remember what I said, Carlotta. Don't go anywhere today. The men here will protect you."

She truly couldn't let go of her baby girl.

"Yes, Mommy. I'll protect myself," answered Carlotta obediently, which slightly reassured Leah.

As usual, Leah hailed a cab to her office. This time, she was all alone. Han and his people were all escorting her in secret. Meanwhile, Susan played the role of a potential client. Together, Susan and Leah went to a remote place to evaluate the feasibility of a project.

"Sarah, I plan to build a theme park here. Can you look around and come up with a refreshing design?" Susan explained her demand.

The only companion they had was a vast grassland.

"Sure." Leah nodded. She then proceeded to take photos of the area.

"I need to use the toilet." Susan found an excuse to disappear. She then snuck into a van.

It began to drizzle now. There was a murderous intent in the air. Like a vulnerable target, Leah felt

exposed.

Now?

She pulled her jacket closer to her body.

Pshiiu.

A sharp sound echoed through the air. Before Leah knew what happened, a dagger was planted on her back. Leah staggered and fell to the ground promptly. Han managed to lock down his target the moment the assassin struck.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Three men clad in black fell from a tree.

"What do you want from Ms. White?" Ben tied the three men and interrogated one of the three men.

The man just gave a derisive chuckle and bit the poison capsule inside his mouth. He died right away. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You aren't dying today," said Serena as she quickly shoved a cotton cloth into the mouth of the remaining assassins.

Han sauntered in. If anything, he looked more like an assassin.

He looked down at the assailants. "Why is Ravensong targeting Sarah White?"

Han's merciless aura didn't intimidate them. They only glared at him.

"I can only wish you luck," Serena lamented.

Although they were expert assassins from Ravensong, they hadn't seen what Han was capable of. He could make them wish they were dead.

Han gave a devilish grin and summoned his subordinates. "Take them away."

Everyone knew what would happen next. Even Serena and Susan were frightened. After Ben took those assassins away, Han approached the prostrating Leah and pulled the dagger out.

"Oscar-worthy performance there." Han carried Leah in his arms.

Leah felt relieved when Han's cologne invaded her nose. The thick bulletproof vest on her still made her uncomfortable though.

"But they wouldn't say anything."

"We know they work for Ravensong now. I will locate its headquarters sooner or later," comforted Han.

It wasn't like those people could ever live once they were caught anyway. Serena did not like the evil presence of the man before her. He was like a demon. And Serena just wanted to stay the hell away from him.

But a brilliant idea came to her mind.

"Oh, Mr. Howard, as my best friend's boyfriend, can you help us out here? Veyris is isolating Dream Designs. Within a night, everyone canceled their order. We have lost so much money."

Leah was shocked by Serena's sudden plea.

"We can handle it ourselves..."

Since when did Serena become this ingratiating?

Han was happy with the attention. He looked at Leah affectionately. "Don't worry. The countermeasure is in place."
