>Chapter 419 Hypocrite
Leah came to the Ford Group to look for Shawn, but she was stopped by a new girl in the reception.
“Stop right there. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re pretty! You think anyone can meet Mr. Ford so easily?”
A person beside her reminded her, “Julie, this is Mrs. Ford. What are you doing? Quickly apologize…”
Julie Jenkins scoffed, “They are not married yet. What makes her claim the title of Mrs. Ford? I had known Shawn for years but I didn’t flaunt our relationship. How dare she flaunt it before me?”
Looking at Leah’s face, Julie’s hatred increased. So many things had changed while she was studying abroad for the past ten years. She had not expected the changes.
Shawn, who promised to marry her, had another woman by his side.
She had a hard time getting her family to agree for her to work at Ford Group, she couldn’t let Leah ruin it!
Leah sat by the side and made a phone call to Shawn’s assistant. However, her phone was snatched by Julie once she took it out.
Julie looked at Leah in disbelief, “You are using Shawn’s phone? You are a seductive vixen. No wonder your family is broken!”
The last sentence she said made Leah furious. Her family and the White Group were the pain of the
lifetime.
Leah got up and snatched back her phone. She also slapped Julie. “Your parents didn’t teach you about manners? As a receptionist, you didn’t do your job well but you’re here insulting others instead?”
Julie was stunned by the slap. When she came back to her senses, she screamed and lunged at Leah, “B*tch! I will not let you go today!”
No one had ever hit her including her parents! After all, she also came from a wealthy family. She felt not reconciled as she was slapped by a b*tch in the public.
Before Julie got near to Leah, she was slapped hard again. She fell to the floor.
She held her face and glared at Leah. “I’m the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family. How dare you hit me? My dad and Shawn will not let you go!”
“There’s no need to talk so much. Ask your family to take action now. Furthermore, I had never heard that Shawn had a playmate like you.”
Shawn and his assistant arrived at the lobby and they heard her words. Shawn was relieved that she was not being bullied.
Shawn moved to her side and put an arm around her waist. “Sarah, why are you here? Why didn’t you call me to pick you up?”
Leah felt disgusted by his touch and acted like she was annoyed to break away from him. “I came over to have a look. I did not expect to meet your ‘little sister’.”
Shawn coaxed Leah while holding her hands when he saw that she was jealous, “I don’t know her at all. Sarah, if you don’t like her, I’ll make her leave immediately.”
He turned around and told his assistant, “Fire this stupid woman and blacklist her. She is not allowed to work in companies that are affiliated with Ford Group in the future.”
“Yes,” the assistant answered. He brought a few security guards to escort Julie out of the company.
Julie kept crying, “Shawn, it’s me. I’m Julie. Can’t you recognize me?”
What she got in reply was the intimate silhouette of Shawn leaving the place with his arms around Leah’s waist.
Julie felt hopeless. She couldn’t believe it. Shawn couldn’t recognize her after ten years. Moreover, he caused her to make a fool out of herself for another woman.
Julie was furious, she glared in the direction they left and she swears. One day, I’ll get Shawn back.
Shawn brought Leah back to his office and let her sit on his chair. He poured a glass of milk for her and touched her lips. “Are you jealous just now?” he asked.
“No, I’m not.” Leah avoided his touch by lowering her head to drink the milk.
Shawn knew she was shy and did not insist on the matter. He smiled gently, “Didn’t you sat you’re here
to have a look? I’ll tour you around after you finish your milk.”
He had fantasized about an ordinary life like this with Leah countless times. It finally came true. Maybe she had liked him from the beginning but there’s Han in between, she did not dare to admit her true feelings because of him.
Leah shook her head, “Do your work. I’ll walk around alone. I’m just too bored at home.”
A simple “home” word knocked down Shawn’s defenses. “If you’re bored at home, let’s go to a banquet with me tomorrow.”
“A banquet?” Leah was stunned. Will Han attend? Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
When she was just about to reject, Shawn said, “Hm. It is a birthday banquet for an heir of a top foreign consortium. People from well-known families and the business elite are invited. As my wife in the future, you will need to accompany me to all sorts of banquets, why not get used to it earlier?”
Leah agreed, “Okay.”
She did not want to meet Han, but fate had its plans.
Leah and Shawn took a plane to Qustraebar the next night.
Victory Hotel.
“Today is the birthday of our heir from the Fox family. I would like to thank all of…”
The host gave an enthusiastic speech about the Fox family.
Shawn led Leah to the resting area as he noticed she was sleepy. The noble ladies got up and greeted them as they saw them.
“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Ford. You all look as loving as what was reported in the news.”
“Mrs. Ford looks much better than on TV!”
They didn’t even look at Leah’s face and they gave compliments to please her.
Leah felt extremely uncomfortable about this, but she had to wear a polite smile on her face, “Thank you for the compliment, good evening everyone."
The noble ladies wanted to have a toast with Leah, she could only pick up a glass of champagne.
When she was about to drink it, Shawn took it away, “You had just recovered. I’ll drink it for you.”
He drank the champagne no matter whether Leah was willing or not. His actions gained more praise and blessings.
In the crowd, Shawn had arranged for a person to record all of this. When the video was on the Internet after some simple editing, their love story will be marketed once more.
“Crash”
There was a sound of glass hitting the floor.
With the sound of the glass breaking, the air was filled with a strong wine fragrance.
Leah looked toward the direction of the sound.
Han!
