Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 8

Leah was disheartened by the man’s response. She took a deep breath and turned to Molly before saying, “Given Ms. Lamere’s high standards, I’m sure she is unwilling to be engaged with a liar. After all, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime affair.” Leah had expected Han to show signs of nervousness. However, to her surprise, he calmly held onto Molly’s hand and said gently, “I can call off the engagement if you don’t trust me.” Molly shook her head and said apologetically, “I believe you, Han. I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have doubted you…” Leah was taken aback by the twist of events because she had not expected Han to deceive Molly so easily. In truth, the latter did not believe the man’s words as she could sense that something was going on between Han and Leah. However, she was deeply in love with Han and was unwilling to do anything that would jeopardize the engagement. Despite this, she was annoyed at the discovery and secretly swore to fix the situation. Molly’s eyes started to turn watery as she pleaded, “Please don’t be mad at me. I…” Han touched her lips to prevent her from continuing. He then coaxed, “I understand. I just hope that you won’t be influenced by people with ill intent.” The man turned to look at Leah in disgust before adding, “You should never believe the words of a crazy woman.” Appalled by the man’s response, Leah wondered to herself, how can he say all that with such confidence? Isn’t he afraid that someone will check on our marriage status and reveal the truth? Leah thought long and hard as she could not understand how the event had unfolded. She clenched her jaw and asked Han, who had returned after escorting Molly to the car, “Did you expect that Molly would not check you?” The man let out a soft chuckle and returned a death stare that left one afraid. “You are so gullible, Leah. Did you really think that you can hurt me like this?” Leah replied in puzzlement, “What do you mean?” Han lowered himself to her ears, sending shivers down her spine with his deep breathing. He whispered, “Have you ever considered that if the Lamere family knew of your existence, not only will you be unable to get out of this place forever, but your life may also be in grave danger?” Leah’s face turned as pale as a sheet as she understood the gravity of the matter. Even though she wanted to deny it, she knew that there was some truth in the man’s words. This left her in a difficult position because she was bound to lose no matter what decision she made. Seeing that Leah finally grasped the situation, Han gave a cold laugh and turned around to walk away. Just then, he received a call from his assistant. The man reported, “You have guessed correctly, Mr.

Howard. Ms. Lamere met the nurse head alone and she saw Ms. Murray’s case file.” Han gave a faint smile and instructed, “Just make sure that the nurses keep their mouths shut. There’s no need to do anything else.” “All right, Mr. Howard. You should also know that a large sum of money was credited to the head nurse’s bank account. We checked that it was given by Ms. Lamere.” Molly wasted no time in dealing with the matter. Han thought to himself for a short while before speaking, “There’s no use for a disloyal person. Get rid of her.” “I understand, Mr. Howard.” Han was deep in thought after hanging up the phone. He cast a sidelong glance at Molly, who was standing beside the car outside.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
