Chapter 401 What Makes You Love Him

A gust of chilly wind blew in through the window. Leah walked up there to close the window.

She frowned and politely refused Shawn’s invitation, "I'm sorry. I’m too busy."

Leah thought to herself, if I went out with Shawn by myself, whether Hendrik or Han, I think I woulddrive both of them mad. After all, Shawn had a hostile relationship with both of them. Even more so,considering that Shawn was working with Jackson and the recent events, this man would undoubtedlydevise a new ruse.

Shawn's gaze turned icy as he asked, "Sarah, aren't we friends? You said you'd let me see Carlottawhenever I wanted to see her. Bring Carlotta to see me tomorrow. After all, there is something I believeyou really want to know, and it's regarding the mystery surrounding Han and Shawn's identities."

Leah inhaled deeply. Although she had her coat tightly around her, she was still shivering. She couldn'thelp but remember Han's comforting embrace in the hospital, and a warm sensation insidiously floodedher heart. Afterward, she regretted her abnormal behavior.

Leah kept rejecting Shawn, and she said, "I…we can talk about it on the phone. Recently, Carlotta hasbeen very busy with school. She doesn’t have time to leave the house."

She was aware that Hendrik was doing his best to deal with Shawn right now and that she was a targetfor kidnappers. Overall, it was best not to wander around and cause trouble for him.

Shawn's eyes suddenly glowed with bloodlust. Finally, without showing any emotion, he hung up the

phone and uttered, "Fine, forget it then."

Next to him, Jackson saw that their plan had fallen through. He kicked over the table and cursed,"Does this c*nt know something? Why is she ignoring you!"

Jackson thought, This guy boasts about how great he is all the time, but he can't even handle awoman. He's a thrash!

The look on Shawn's face was one of icy coldness. He gave Jackson a chilly look before stating, "Sheno longer believes in me. You must replace stronger proof to undermine the trust between Han and Sarah."

Jackson acknowledged the significance of this issue and concurred, "Well, I've sent my bestintelligence to spy on Han day and night. Owen is not willing to cooperate with us either. We must replacenew allies to expand our influence and territory!"

The next day, in the White Group.

Leah had just finished a meeting when she received a call from Susan.

"Ms. White, I had asked my senior management to review the new product you designed. It hasreceived high praise from everyone. We are prepared to manufacture this bracelet right away. Pleasecomplete the final design and promotional materials. The salary and bonus of 7 million dollars will bedeposited into your account this afternoon!"

"All right, Ms. Victor, thank you."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Leah exhaled a sigh of relief. She was grateful that she was given the chance to work with HJCorporation when she traveled abroad. Otherwise, she believed that she would never be able to payHan's 70 million until her next incarnation. She had raised 10 million dollars with this amount, inaddition to the profits she had made from Dream Designs during this time.

She thought for a while before making a phone call.

"Mr. Baldwin, I'm Sarah White. I consulted with you earlier. I want to revisit the office building that youlisted for sale."

Mr. Baldwin said, "I'm available to give you a tour three days from now, but I need to confirm that youhave at least 100 million dollars in funds."

Leah hung up the phone after they agreed on a time. She sat down at her desk and continued working.

Serena previously informed her that despite having a large number of orders, they were short-staffedand had limited space in their studio. As a result, Leah decided to relocate the company to a largeroffice and launch her own company.

Even though they seldom have loose orders, the studio should be able to continue operating thanks tothe company's long-term agreement with HJ Corporation. She decided to purchase the office buildingand relocate her business there after seeing the advertisement in which Mr. Baldwin was selling it. Theonly problem was that she was still short by 20 million dollars.

Leah headed to Dream Designs to meet Serena later that evening after finishing the product

advertisements for HJ Corporation. Their employees served them coffee as they sat in the office.

"Serena, I have found a good office building for the company, but they want to see proof of funds for100 million dollars. I'm still short of 20 million. Can you lend me some money? Once I've completed theverification, I'll pay you back."

"Sarah, why are you treating me like an outsider?" Serena cut her off before she could complete hersentence.

Leah was a little taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Serena is the first person that comes to mind when I need to borrow money because I always think ofher as a friend.

When Serena saw how perplexed Leah looked, she sighed helplessly. She clarified, "Instead of tellingme that you want to borrow some money, you should just ask for it. I'll send it your way right away. Youdon't need to pay me back. Consider it as my investment in the company!"

As she explained, Serena had completed the transaction using her mobile banking app.

Leah's eyes slightly reddened as she was greatly moved. She said, "Thank you."

Since it was getting late, Lead did not stay much longer in the office. She reminded Serena beforeleaving, "By the way, I think Shawn and Jackson are up to something lately. He asked me to go out withhim all by myself yesterday. I need you to be careful and remember to bring bodyguards with you whenyou go out."

Serena nodded gravely, "Hmm, it's normal for him to make a move, especially since some of hiscompany was recently taken over by Mr. Hendrik. Due to your good relationship with Mr. Hendrik, hemight try to target you."

The front desk receptionist interrupted the two as they were conversing with an internal call, "Ms. Whiteand Miss Coleman, Mr. Ford is here."

Leah had a bad feeling about this, she said, "Tell him that I’m not…"

"Sarah, what are you and your friend talking about? I want to hear it." Shawn's cheerful voice camefrom the doorway as he pushed the door open and entered the office.

Even though Serena was displeased, she refrained from making a scene. She said, "Mr. Ford, pleaseleave. We’re in the middle of something."

Seeing that Shawn had made himself comfortable on the sofa, Leah's expression became complicated,and she asked, "What do you want?"

Did he really believe I was unaware of what he had done? He is acting as if nothing has happened.

Shawn met Leah’s gaze. His smile sent chills down her spine. Shawn said, "What would you do, Sarah,if you discovered Han was lying to you?"

With that being said, he took out several photos from his pocket and continued, "I want to meet youbecause I don’t want you to be left in the dark."

The photos Shawn brought with him were the ones that Jackson had recently taken during their

investigation. The photos showed Hendrik and Han entering and leaving the same hotel.

Leah stared at the photos. She was stunned.

Shawn’s voice continued to come from the side, he said, "Sarah, I discovered that Han and Hendrik arethe same people."

He looked pleased with the shocking expression on Leah's face. He had the impression that Leahwould sever her relationship with Han and return to him.

Serena's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed, "They are the same person? That's impossible!"

Why did Han have to hold back for all these years if he was as great as Mr. Hendrik?"

Leah struggled for a while to hold back her shock. She pushed the photos back to Shawn and said,"Whether they are the same person or not has nothing to do with me."

She had long held the suspicion that they were different people, but she has since confirmed that theywere not the same person. These photos by themselves were not very convincing.

Seeing that she still did not believe him, Shawn's gaze turned ruthless. He grabbed her slender wristand asked slowly, "Sarah, what do you love about him?"
