Chapter 336 What Is His Reason

Leah freaked out when she saw Han appear out of nowhere. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Leah freaked out when she saw Han appear out of nowhere. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"What brings you here?" Leah questioned softly.

She averted her attention from his face, because she was particularly worried that if she stared at hisface any longer, she would remember the day Alfred kicked the bucket.

It’s his fault for knocking me out. However, the fact that I’m unlucky is the main cause of the tragicevent. If I hadn’t been targeting in secret, Han wouldn’t have knocked me out, and Alfred would still bealive.

Han let out a cold sneered. He went straight up to Leah, grabbed her hand, and dragged her over to hiscar. He then violently threw Leah onto the car seat, pressed his body against hers, and gripped herhands to prevent her from escaping.

The driver's seat was occupied by Ben. He exited the vehicle and shut the doors for them when he sawthis.

The unusually chilly aura which emanated from Han made Leah feel a little uneasy. She pleaded, "Han,let go of me!"

Her instincts warned her that things would turn out badly for her if this situation persisted.

In response to her resistance, Han grinned even more coldly. He said, "Leah, I really want to replace outwhat color your heart is made of by digging it out."

He spoke with great calm, and because of how calm he was, it did not seem like he was making a joke.

Leah was taken aback. It took her a long time to answer with a sad smile, "You can give it a try if youlike."

If only he could be satisfied by killing me. Given that Charlotte is also his daughter, I suppose he wouldnot be frantically targeting her. In addition, Shawn had assured me that he would protect Charlotte. IfHan really wants me to pay with my life, I don't have a lot of worries in this world. If Serena were all Ihad, I had faith in her that she would look after Charlotte and see to it that she grew up safely.

Han was enraged by Leah's attitude of not giving a sh*t about her own life. He gripped her chin andleaned his lips next to her ear. He whispered, "I won't let you die like this. You haven't repaid what youowe me. Why do you think death can put an end to everything? I'll take my time torturing you to getback everything I lost because of you!"

Leah experienced heartache after he was done. The luster in her beautiful eyes gradually faded away.After that, she remained silent.

Han was upset when he noticed her reaction, but he continued to wear a cold expression on his face.He said, "You had learned about Alfred's death; how could you go on a date with Shawn as if nothinghappened? Do you even have a heart? Have I been wrong about you all along?"

Han gave a lengthy speech on his own. Leah once more sank into a deep abyss of despair when he

brought up Alfred's death.

She begged him in a trembling voice, "Please stop…"

Her heart was still deeply scarred by Alfred's death. Every time it was brought up, it would reopen thewound and cause it to bleed. Leah lacked the courage to defend herself, even though Han hadmisunderstood her.

Han felt the slender body in his arms trembling uncontrollably. His black pupils shrank a little. Hecarefully observed Leah as she was illuminated by the street light that came in through the car window.His expression was somewhat complicated.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, Leah! Stop showing this side of yourself to me. It's too late now.Your true self has been revealed."

Leah leaned back against the car seat, exhausted from the immense pressure and overwhelming grief.She ignored Han and closed her eyes. She moved her lips a little and let out a sad smile. It made herlook sadder than when she was crying.

She wondered, "My true self? What about you? What has been on your mind since the beginning?Why didn't you tell me the truth from the start? Why did you knock me out that day and prevent mefrom saving Alfred? Don't you have any responsibility? I couldn't even see him for the last time."

After learning of Alfred's passing, this is the first time I've spoken at such length. I couldn't understandwhy Han didn't seize the opportunity to strike me down from the beginning. I learned about Alfred'sdeath from Anna. Serena kept me in the dark because she didn't want to make me feel sad. What isthe reason for him to keep quiet?

Leah seemed to dawn on something all of a sudden. She slowly opened her eyes, and the last glimmerof light in her pupils had dissipated.

She looked straight into Han's dark eyes and mocked, "Or the reason is exactly as you claim, I'm notworthy to know anything about Alfred?"

Her self-deprecating speech and her lackluster eyes were just like the sharp needles that slicedthrough Han's heart. In hindsight, he realized he might have misunderstood her. Alfred's death hadcaused her a great deal of pain.

He thought back to the things he had just said to her. The man, who had always come across as coldand distant, became a little flustered.

He let go of his firm grip on Leah's hands and let her sit comfortably on the car seat. His expression stillappeared unsightly. He said, "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Shawn? Charlotte is my daughter. I'llhave to take her away from you if you continue acting like this."

Leah was dumbfounded. She experienced tightness in her chest. In a fit of rage, she snatched hispricey and artisanal tie. She roared, "You had given me your word! You can’t take Charlotte away fromme!"

Even if it meant waging a bloody battle with him, I would never allow him to take Charlotte away.

Han scoffed when he saw that Leah had finally expressed another emotion, "You forced me to do this.You purposefully displayed your affection for Shawn in public and repeatedly tested my limits. If you’redoing this to get my attention, then congratulations, you have succeeded. Unfortunately, I still intend to

wed Anna."

Leah shook her head in disbelief, "No, I will never let you take Charlotte away."

Charlotte was all Leah could think about. Han's previously contained rage abruptly erupted. Leah wasforced to look at him after he grabbed hold of the back of her head.

"Let go of me!" Leah refused to get closer to him.

Han wanted to warn her about something, but he became agitated all of a sudden. He kissed hersavagely to punish her. When Han's unique scent lingered on her soft lips, Leah's heart skipped a beatas she lost control of it. Immediately after, tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Why...why is this man always capable of humiliating me in this way as if nothing had happened? Isn’the going to marry Anna soon?

The breeze ruffled the clouds and obscured the starlight in the sky. The darkness of the night greweven more intense.

Serena was getting anxious after waiting for Leah's return for a while. She quickly called Leah andmurmured, "Nothing would have happened to her. That convenience store is just dozens of feetaway…."

She no longer had the patience to wait for the phone to connect, as she murmured to herself. Serenaleft the studio hastily.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a familiar figure that stood not far away. She moved a little

closer and realized it was Ben. She was surprised and asked, "Why are you here at this hour of thenight? Are you watching us? Have you seen Sarah?"

Ben remained expressionless as she barraged him with questions. He did not say anything other thanto roll his eyes at Han's car and say, "Ms. White is discussing something in the boss's car."

Serena managed to calm down after hearing this. She no longer wanted to speak with Ben, and shewas ready to take Leah away.

Ben was able to read her thoughts. He blocked her path and urged, "I don't think it's wise to disturbthem. You should let them talk it out."

Leeh wes dumbfounded. She experienced tightness in her chest. In e fit of rege, she snetched hispricey end ertisenel tie. She roered, "You hed given me your word! You cen’t teke Cherlotte ewey fromme!"

Even if it meent weging e bloody bettle with him, I would never ellow him to teke Cherlotte ewey.

Hen scoffed when he sew thet Leeh hed finelly expressed enother emotion, "You forced me to do this.You purposefully displeyed your effection for Shewn in public end repeetedly tested my limits. If you’redoing this to get my ettention, then congretuletions, you heve succeeded. Unfortunetely, I still intend towed Anne."

Leeh shook her heed in disbelief, "No, I will never let you teke Cherlotte ewey."

Cherlotte wes ell Leeh could think ebout. Hen's previously conteined rege ebruptly erupted. Leeh wes

forced to look et him efter he grebbed hold of the beck of her heed.

"Let go of me!" Leeh refused to get closer to him.

Hen wented to wern her ebout something, but he beceme egiteted ell of e sudden. He kissed hersevegely to punish her. When Hen's unique scent lingered on her soft lips, Leeh's heert skipped e beetes she lost control of it. Immedietely efter, teers sterted to roll down her cheeks.
