Hunting for His EX-Wife

When Elliot left the Russell mansion, it was already afternoon. As soon as he stepped out, his assistant called him with a helpless and urgent voice.

“Mr. Harper, you need to come back to the company right away!”

“What’s going on?”

“Mr. Harper, your daughter has caused quite a stir in the company. If you don’t come back soon, this could become public knowledge!”

Elliot’s grip on his phone tightened as he felt a hint of confusion in his black eyes.

Daughter?

His eyebrows furrowed as he unconsciously thought of the girl who called herself Leah.

But didn’t he leave her under the care of his servants? How could she have run off and ended up at Harper Group?

Once Elliot regained his senses, there was an unnoticeable trace of nervousness in his tone.

“Keep an eye on her and don’t let her wander around!”

Half an hour later, when Elliot entered the top floor of Harper Group, he witnessed an unforgettable scene.

“Hello everyone! I’m Leah.”

The little girl stood among everyone with a charming smile while greeting them all by name. The people surrounding her had different expressions and looked at her with suspicion while she stood in their midst.

Her face resembled that of Elliot’s, which made everyone start to wonder about something they’ve heard before- that there was a little girl who caused trouble during Mr. Harper’s wedding; supposedly Mr. Harper’s illegitimate daughter!

Could all these rumors be true?

After exchanging glances with one another for some time, they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

“Is this really Mr. Harper’s daughter?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“She looks somewhat similar to Mr. Harper so it must be true.”

“Why would Mr. Harper bring her here if not? Master Shawn has never been brought here by him.”

“Doesn’t this mean that this girl’s mother is actually who Mr. Harper truly loves?”

“I wonder who this little one’s mommy is…”

“Maybe it won’t be long until we hear good news from our boss again!”

…

Elliot stood behind them coldly, observing everything happening and hearing their discussions too.

His gaze turned icy cold as emotionless words came out from his lips.

“What are you all doing here? Don’t you have work to do?”

Everyone froze for a moment before turning their heads towards him, stunned by what they just heard from behind them.

Upon seeing Mr. Harper suddenly appear, everyone let out a frightened cry and scattered in all directions, quickly returning to their respective workstations.

Leah felt a sense of satisfaction rise within her when she saw her father angry.

She came to her scumbag dad’s side just to provoke him!

Elliot gave Leah a faint glance, then bent down and picked up the little girl, walking straight towards the CEO’s office before setting her down on the ground.

“How did you run out?”

Leah proudly lifted her chin and answered with a hint of arrogance, “I won’t tell you.”

Elliot was speechless.

The man rubbed his temples in exasperation and turned to sit down at his desk.

“Once you’re here, just behave yourself a little. I don’t have that much time for you.”

Leah blinked her eyes and was about to say something, but suddenly shut her mouth and obediently sat on the sofa.

Elliot saw that she was well-behaved, so he reached out and took the documents on the table to start processing them.

After a while, the little one sneaked a glance at his scumbag dad and a mischievous grin flashed across his big eyes.

Want to work in peace?

It depended on whether she agreed or not!

As Leah thought this, she cheerfully hummed a tune she had heard many times before.

This song was one that Mom used to hum to Leah and her brothers when they couldn’t sleep.

She could hum it as she had heard it so many times.

When Elliot heard the familiar tune, his hands paused and his thoughts became a bit hazy.

This song was the one that Rose used to like before.

When he used to come home in the past, he often heard that woman humming this tune while cooking.

Later, she also told him that this was her favorite song.

Elliot came to his senses and stared deeply at the little girl sitting not far away.

“Why are you singing this song?”

Leah froze, never expecting her dad to ask that question.

This song was taught to her by her mommy.

But how could she possibly tell her scumbag father this?

She blinked her big eyes twice and turned her head in confusion to the man sitting at the desk, asking back.

“This song is very popular, many people know how to sing it, why can’t I learn it?”

Elliot’s eyes, which were once filled with hope, suddenly dimmed. His narrow eyes were full of bitterness that he couldn’t hide.

“I thought she was the only one in this world who could do it.”

She knew that the person her scumbag dad was talking about had to be her mom. But… from what they understood, this man didn’t love her mom at all. Why did he look like he did now? She could even feel that her scumbag dad actually cared about her mom.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and both the adult and child in the office snapped back to reality. Elliot said indifferently, “Come in.”

The assistant walked in from outside and respectfully handed Elliot a file. “Mr. Harper, this file needs your review.”

After taking the file from his assistant’s hand, Elliot began to check its contents while his assistant’s gaze fell on the little girl sitting on the couch with curiosity written all over his face.

Was this little girl really Mr. Harper’s daughter? He had been working for Mr. Harper for years and knew very well that his private life was spotless – how could such a big daughter suddenly appear out of nowhere?

After finishing reading through everything in detail, Elliot picked up a pen and signed it decisively before saying, “This project can continue.”

“Yes,” replied his assistant respectfully as he took away the signed document.

Elliot tapped lightly on his desk twice with his slender fingers before suddenly speaking up again, “Go check out who exactly is this young man named Valentin Downs; see what kind of relationship he has with Rose.” For some reason or another, he felt like their relationship wasn’t simple.

Leah sitting on the couch couldn’t help but feel nervous upon hearing those words because Valentin indeed had no relation to Mommy before but now they do.

Standing by the desk, the assistant nodded lightly, acknowledging Elliot’s instructions. Then, he discreetly glanced at the man seated in the chair. After weighing his words for a moment, he cautiously began to report on the recent collaboration with RH.

“Mr. Harper, our collaboration with RH hasn’t been making much progress…”

Leah had been listening attentively to their conversation with her keen ears. Suddenly, she heard a familiar name, and her eyes widened slightly.

RH?

Wasn’t that Khalil’s company?
