Begging For A Reconciliation
Chapter 161

Chapter 161

As soon as Han walked into the hall, he noticed Leah beside Ron. Immediately, his face darkened.

Ron was big and brawny. At that time, he was sitting sideways with his left hand supporting his chin,and when Han walked in, he was putting some food on Leah’s plate.

Leah was wearing a black dress and looked rather petite next to Ron. Her slim-fit black dress not onlyrevealed her delicate collarbone but also her slender neck. She was holding a plate with one hand anda fork with the other. It seemed that she would eat whatever Ron served her. Somehow, she seemeddocile next to Ron. It was different when she was with Han. In Han’s eyes, she was like a hedgehogwith thorns.

The hall was quiet with the appearance of Han. Ron suddenly felt the quietness and raised his headwhen he met Han’s cold eyes.

Ron was stunned for a moment. With a gleam of uneasiness in his eyes, he lowered his head andwhispered in Leah’s ears, “Your ex is here.”

Leah, on the other hand, was lost in thought. From the beginning, she felt awkward. Hearing what Ronsaid, she raised her head subconsciously. Then she saw Han with a shy girl. However, the girl keptavoiding eye contact with her.

Leah was surprised the girl was not Molly. Why did Han bring this girl instead of Molly? she wondered.

“Look, who’s here? It’s Mr. Howard! ” Ron did not stand up. He was still sitting lazily on his chair,showing no respect for Han at all.

However, Han was not a bit angry. He strode in and found a place to sit down. Nonetheless, he fixedhis eyes on Leah for a long time.

Leah, on the other hand, was not looking at Han. She kept looking at the girl beside Han instead.Although the girl looked ordinary, Leah felt she looked familiar.

“Boss, there is someone else coming,” one of Ron’s subordinates said again.

Hearing that, Ron was not surprised. Since Han showed up, a lot of big shots might show up as well.“Who is it?” he asked.

Ron’s subordinate wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. “It’s Mr. Shawn Ford.”

Right then, Shawn walked in. He was wearing a shirt and a pair of glasses. With a gentle and implicitexpression on his face, he exclaimed as he strode in, “Congratulations, Ron! I’m so proud of you. Youmade it in less than two years!”

However, Leah felt her body stiffen when she heard Shawn’s voice. From Shawn’s appearance, onemight think he was a friendly and nice guy. Only Leah knew how terrible he was.

Nonetheless, Ron could sense that Leah was tensed. With an expressionless face, he turned his bodysideways and slightly blocked Leah behind him. He then replied to Shawn casually, “Thank you, but itseems that you haven’t made any progress in the past two years.”

Hearing that, Shawn’s face darkened. However, since all the guests present were veterans in business,Shawn had no choice but to control himself. He regained his composure and replied, “Ron, you’re theboss now. Don’t make fun of me.”

Finally, everyone took their seats. However, Leah felt so uncomfortable the moment Han and Shawnarrived.

It seemed that most people at the party knew about what happened between Han and Shawn. In fact,they were all waiting to see a good show.

As expected, Shawn began to tease Han after he sat down. Shawn was eyeing the girl beside Han andasked, “Han, is she your ex-wife?”

Hearing that, Han’s face darkened. It was not a secret in Linkville that he had divorced.

He knew Shawn was making fun of him and gave him a murderous look. However, before he could sayanything, the girl beside him spoke first.

The girl muttered in fear, “No, no… My name is Regina Simmons.”

Hearing that, Leah’s eyes lit up. She finally knew why the girl looked familiar to her. Regina was herhigh school classmate. They looked alike and were both quiet and shy.

How did Regina know Han? When did they get together? Leah could not help but wonder. AlthoughRegina came from a rich family, there was a huge gap between her family and Han’s. She could nothave known him.

Thinking of that, Leah was confused.

“Shut up!” Han interrupted Regina all of a sudden. “Let’s eat.”

Nonetheless, Shawn could not help but snigger hearing Regina’s answer. He glared at Han and askedagain, “So Han, you’ve found yourself a substitute so fast?”

Han glared at Shawn coldly again. However, Shawn was used to it and was not a bit bothered. Not onlythat, he was exhilarated seeing Han getting angry.

Shawn then glance at Leah, who was sitting next to Ron, and teased, “Han, what a poor guy you are.Your ex is sitting with Ron, and you can only replace yourself a substitute. TSK! TSK!”

Bang!

Suddenly, Han threw his fork to Shawn. The fork bounced and hit Shawn’s mouth.

Shawn did not expect Han would throw the fork. His face immediately darkened.

Nonetheless, Han wiped his hands with a napkin with an expressionless face. He explainedindifferently, ”Oops, it was an accident. I lost control of my hand just now.”

Hearing that, Shawn was speechless. “Your fork hit my lips, and you said it was an accident?”

Seeing what Shawn had done, Leah lost their appetite.

However, Leah’s eyes still fell on Regina. Is she really my substitute? she wondered. But Han hateswomen!

When Leah glanced at Regina again, her eyes met Han’s. His eyes looked so complicated that shealmost fell into them.

Leah could not help but quickly look away. Was it her illusion? Why did she seem to see a hint ofsadness in Han’s eyes just now?

“Mr. Howard, may I leave now?” Regina approached Han and asked cautiously. It seems that the lookin Leah’s eyes made her nervous. She was afraid Leah would recognize her sooner or later. In thebeginning, she was happy to follow Han to the party. However, as soon as she saw Leah, she felt souncomfortable.

Han frowned impatiently and replied, “Okay.”

Hearing that, Regina quickly stood up and slipped away quietly.

Seeing Regina leaving, Leah frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she murmured into Ron’sears and chased after Regina.
