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 would drive 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 undoubtedly devise a new ruse.

Shawn's gaze turned icy as he asked, "Sarah, aren't we friends? You said you'd let me see Carlotta whenever I wanted to see her. Bring Carlotta to see me tomorrow. After all, there is something I believe you 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't help but remember Han's comforting embrace in the hospital, and a warm sensation insidiously flooded her 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 has been 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 target for 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 a woman. He's a thrash!

The look on Shawn's face was one of icy coldness. He gave Jackson a chilly look before stating, "She no longer believes in me. You must find stronger proof to undermine the trust between Han and Sarah."

Jackson acknowledged the significance of this issue and concurred, "Well, I've sent my best intelligence to spy on Han day and night. Owen is not willing to cooperate with us either. We must find new 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 has received high praise from everyone. We are prepared to manufacture this bracelet right away. Please complete the final design and promotional materials. The salary and bonus of 7 million dollars will be deposited 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 HJ Corporation when she traveled abroad. Otherwise, she believed that she would never be able to pay Han's 70 million until her next incarnation. She had raised 10 million dollars with this amount, in addition 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 you listed for sale."

Mr. Baldwin said, "I'm available to give you a tour three days from now, but I need to confirm that you have 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-staffed and had limited space in their studio. As a result, Leah decided to relocate the company to a larger office and launch her own company.

Even though they seldom have loose orders, the studio should be able to continue operating thanks to the company's long-term agreement with HJ Corporation. She decided to purchase the office building and relocate her business there after seeing the advertisement in which Mr. Baldwin was selling it. The only 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 for 100 million dollars. I'm still short of 20 million. Can you lend me some money? Once I've completed the verification, I'll pay you back."

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

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 of her as a friend.

When Serena saw how perplexed Leah looked, she sighed helplessly. She clarified, "Instead of telling me that you want to borrow some money, you should just ask for it. I'll send it your way right away. You don'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 before leaving, "By the way, I think Shawn and Jackson are up to something lately. He asked me to go out with him all by myself yesterday. I need you to be careful and remember to bring bodyguards with you when you go out."

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

The front desk receptionist interrupted the two as they were conversing with an internal call, "Ms. White and 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 came from 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, please leave. 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 you because 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 are the same people."

He looked pleased with the shocking expression on Leah's face. He had the impression that Leah would 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 they were 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 wrist and asked slowly, "Sarah, what do you love about him?"
