Chapter 294 Random Inspection

“I’m not free. I still have to take care of my daughter.” Leah rejected Anna. She did not want to bother Han anymore.

Hearing that, Anna was stunned. It was only a few seconds later that she came back to her senses. “You have a daughter? You don’t look like a mother at all.”

Thinking of Carlotta, Leah could not help smiling. In fact, she wanted to abort Carlotta in the first place. However, she was glad that she did not do that. Carlotta was all she had now.

“That would be a pity!” Anna shrugged. She knew Leah was using her daughter as an excuse.

After chatting for a while, Anna wanted to leave. Nonetheless, Leah still invited her to stay back for dinner.

However, Anna pointed at the blue sports car in the yard and said regretfully, “I don’t think I can stay back for dinner. Ethan is here.”

Following Anna’s gaze, Leah saw the man’s jawline. However, she quickly looked away after taking a glance.

“Bye, and see you next time, okay?” Anna waved her hand and trotted over to the car.

Inside the car, Han stared at Leah at the door. It was not until he heard the sound of opening the door that he dropped his gaze.

Anna sat in the passenger seat and exclaimed, “Ms. White looks so young. But guess what, she’s already a mother!”

At first, Anna thought Leah was her rival. However, it seemed impossible then. How could a proud man like Han accept a woman with a daughter?

“Really?” Han gripped the steering wheel. His face darkened.

Leah had kept Carlotta a secret from everyone, and Han had no idea that she had given birth to her.

Somehow, Han wanted to meet Carlotta who had a blood relationship with him suddenly.

Han’s reaction was strange. Anna’s heart could not help but skip a beat. An idea flashed across her mind.

"What's wrong? You seem surprised.”

“No, I was not,” replied Han coldly.

In the car, Anna tried to find a topic to talk about. However, Han was not in the mood to talk.

Anna did not like Linkville. If it weren’t for Han, she would not have come here.

Too many things happened in Linkville, and Anna was worried that the longer Han stayed here, the more he did not want to go back.

Cautiously, Anna looked at Han and said, “We have to be back next month at the latest. We have to prepare for the engagement soon.”

In fact, Anna knew Han did not love her. However, at the thought that he would leave her for another woman, she just wanted to keep him by her side.

"Let's talk about it later."

Han turned the steering wheel and parked the car in the garage. Then he walked into the villa. Anna had to run to catch up with him.

Suddenly, Han stopped. He turned around and warned, “Don’t go to the Ford residence again.”

Hearing that, Anna was confused. She looked into Han’s eyes and asked, “But why?”

“Leah is not a simple person, and you’re too innocent. I’m afraid you’ll be used, and I don’t want you to get hurt,” Han blurted in the end.

“Really? Are you worried about me?” Obviously, Anna did not believe Han’s words.

Anna was the one who took the initiative to work with Han when he first arrived in Fetriybia. The two of them eradicated treacherous noble families and consolidated Anna's father's position.

Is he saying the opposite that he’s afraid someone will use me?

With a glint in his eyes, Han glared. He then walked upstairs silently.

In the study, Han dialed Alfred’s number. “Find some way to stop Shawn. The sooner, the better.”

After hanging up the phone, Han stood up from the sofa and looked at the yard in front of him.

Why did Shawn agree to keep the child?

At the lobby of one of the commercial buildings in Linkville, a stern man stood in front of the front desk. Behind him were a few men in black uniforms.

“Hi, we’re from the tax department, and we’re looking for Mr. Ford.”

The receptionist took a look at their badges and immediately called the president's office on the thirty- six floor.

"Mr. Ford, someone from the tax department wants to see you.”

“Bring them up,” answered Shawn immediately.

The moment the officials from the tax department came to the thirty-six floor, Shawn was already waiting for them at the door.

“Hello Mr. Ford, I’m Matthew Grey from the tax department. Nice to meet you.” Matthew stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shawn.

However, Shawn asked, his face darkened. “How can I help you, Mr. Grey?”

Shawn was surprised that the officials from the tax department came for a visit. He was not informed beforehand.

“Just for a routine inspection,” Matthew glanced around and said with a smile.

It was another official who came for the routine inspection the other time. Matthew was asked to come to the Ford Group all of a sudden.

In fact, Matthew did not want to come in the first place. He did not want to get involved in matters related to the Ford Group. Nonetheless, his superiors assigned him to come personally to perform a thorough investigation.

Seeing that Shawn stood still, Matthew’s face darkened. “Mr. Ford, you don’t seem glad to see me, do you?”

Hearing that, Shawn gave out a loud laugh. Although he had mixed feelings, he wanted to hide his emotions. “Of course, I’m glad to see you. Come, let me take you to my office.”

With that, Shawn brought Matthew and his men to the financial department.

When they arrived at the financial department, Shawn glared at his CFO and said, “They are from the tax department. Please assist and give them your full cooperation.”

"Thank you, Mr. Ford. Appreciated it.”

However, as soon as Matthew finished his words, he ordered his staff to begin the inspection.

Outside the window. Shawn stood still with his face darkened.

About half an hour later, Matthew took out a bag and carefully put the account book in it. He then looked at Shawn seriously and said, “Mr. Ford, I’m afraid you have to come with me to the tax office now.”

Hearing that, Shawn looked calm. It seemed that he had expected it. He followed Matthew out of the office slowly.

In the car, Matthew took out another bag and said, “Mr. Ford, please put your phone in the bag.”

“What if I say no?” Shawn sniggered.

“I’m afraid you can’t do that,” replied Matthew sternly.

Hearing that, Shawn had no choice but to take out his phone from his pocket.

“I’m just kidding.”

With that, he dropped the phone into the bag.
