Chapter 297 Did It on Purpose

"What about it?"

Leah met Han's eyes without fear. She did not have any future with Shawn anyway.

Han was surprised by her indifference. Once he returned to his senses, he laughed and let go of her.

"Are you fine with it, or are you bluffing? I'll give you one day to properly think about it. You won't get another chance if you turn this down." Han then straightened his wrinkled clothes and left the elevator.

Leah weakly leaned against the elevator wall, only calming down after a while.

Han went to the tax department after leaving Shawn's company. Once his car arrived, the people from the tax department welcomed him.

"Mr. Howard, why are you here?" The receptionist was one of Matthew's subordinates.

Han said with an indifferent expression. "I'm here to meet Mr. Shawn."

"This…" The receptionist was a little hesitant. Shawn was a person who could promote Linkville's economy. Although he was confined in the tax department now, he would probably be released soon.

Han's expression darkened. "I can't?" His words were not too light or heavy, but they could still induce fear.

The receptionist quickly replied, "I'll arrange it for you now. Please wait in the lounge."

Shawn was soon brought to the lounge. After being confined for a few days, he looked haggard and lost lots of weight. However, his eyes were still sharp.

Once he saw Han, he immediately understood what was happening.

Shawn sneered. "So it's you."

He was not fully prepared, so he was schemed against by Han.

Han sat on the couch with his legs crossed as he glanced at Shawn and said calmly, "Are you surprised?"

The tables had turned. Now, it was Han's turn to return Shawn’s “favor”.

Shawn's eyes became cold, and he did not even hide the murderous intent on his face. "Wasn't it nice to stay abroad? Why do you have to return to Linkville and seek death?" He did not think he would lose to Han. After all, he still had a trump card.

Han's eyes were filled with anger as he said coldly, "It seems like I've treated you too well."

"It's still too early to celebrate," Shawn said without fear and continued to provoke him, "You lost to me two years ago, and the results will be the same this time too."

"Let's wait and see." Han was not angered by his words. Instead, the smile on his face became even

brighter.

The next day, Leah received a call saying she could visit Shawn.

"You only have half an hour, so hurry up."

"Alright."

Leah quickly hung up the phone. After handing Carlotta to Lucy, she drove to the tax department.

Matthew brought Shawn over to the tax department's reception room.

Seeing Shawn, Leah frowned. It has only been a few days. How did he end up like this?

Matthew said strictly, "You only have half an hour. I'll take him away later."

Once he finished speaking, he closed the reception room door.

Leah's distressed eyes fell on Shawn. "Aren't you here to cooperate with the investigation? How did you end up like this?"

In these two years, Shawn had always been meticulous in front of her, so it was her first time seeing him like this.

Shawn raised his head slightly and smiled. "They're only making it sound good."

They could not find anything from the company's accounts, so they targeted him, wanting him to admit

it himself.

Shawn resisted the tears in his eyes and returned to his usual calm self. He asked, "How is the company now?" Since Han had taken action against him, his company would definitely be affected.

Leah said honestly, "Davis wants to replace you."

Shawn sneered and looked at Leah in doubt. He did not care about others' thoughts, but he cared about Leah's thoughts. He wanted to know if she still had Han in her heart.

Leah looked up and her eyes revealed her helplessness. "I'll try my best to help you save the company. Consider it as I and Carlotta returning your favor.

She planned on leaving with Carlotta and starting over once this matter was over.

Shawn's expression changed. Did she want to leave him so badly? She had always been finding a chance, and was she still refusing to change her mind now?

He turned to the side, unwilling to face Leah, and said coldly, "You owe me more than what I’ve given you in these two years."

Before Leah could react, he pushed open the reception room door. He said coldly, "This visit is over." Whether Leah agreed or not, he had ended the visit.

Leah could only helplessly leave the tax department.

At night, Leah hugged Carlotta in bed, humming a nursery rhyme to coax her to sleep.

"Mary had a little lamb. Little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow…"

Leah noticed Lucy by the door out of the corner of her eye and made a shush notion at her. She then tucked Carlotta in carefully and finally left.

Leah looked at Lucy's panicked expression and asked, "What happened?"

"Ms. White, there's a fierce man downstairs who's saying he wants to meet you. We couldn't stop him."

Leah rubbed her forehead and subconsciously thought of Han.

"Help me take care of Carlotta. Don't come out no matter what noises you hear."

Leah then closed the room door. She thought Han probably did not want to see Carlotta.

After that, she went downstairs. The moment she arrived downstairs, she saw Han sitting on the main seat, looking like he was the house's owner.

Leah looked at his tall figure in a daze.

Han seemed to realize it as he turned and met Leah's eyes. "Do you like to peek at others that much?"

Leah retracted her gaze awkwardly. Looking at the burly bodyguard behind Han, she immediately understood Lucy's words.

Han brought his men over, so it was no wonder the Ford family's bodyguards could not stop him. He

was still the same person he was in the past, doing whatever he wanted.

Leah walked up to Han and asked, "Coffee or tea?"

Han stood up and looked down at Leah with dark eyes. "No need. What do you think about what I told you?"
