Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 42

After cleaning herself up, Leah went downstairs. The living room was pin-drop silent. “What’s wrong?” She looked at Jane’s serious expression and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Jane looked at her and bit her tongue. Gordon started the conversation, and he did not beat around the bush. “Were you with Han last night?”

Leah was shocked at his question. She gulped. Looking at their facial expressions, she realized that they had found out. But how did they find out? Was it when Han left?

Leah did not want to lie to them. Lowering her head, she spoke the truth. “Yes, he was drunk last night. I couldn’t contact his assistant, so I let him stay in the house for the night. I’m sorry…”

Gordon closed his eyes and said sadly, “You shouldn’t apologize to us. If there’s anyone wronged in this incident, it’s yourself!”

Leah sensed something was off. “What do you mean?” Jane put her phone on the table. “Look at it yourself.”

Leah picked up the phone. After a brief glance, color drained from her face. On the front page of the news website was a photo in which she was dragging Han last night. The camera angle made it look like she was hugging him.

The news article reported that the newly-appointed Young Lady of the White family had seduced a married man, and it did not hold back when describing her sleazy character. She stopped reading after a few lines.

She turned the phone screen off and took a deep breath. “It’s not true.”

“Of course. We believe in you, but the others won’t! Someone obviously wants to set you up,” Jane exclaimed.

“My conscience is clear,” Leah stated firmly.

However, it was not as simple as she thought. By noon, almost all the people in Linkville had seen the photo. While she was outside, Leah did not expect to be the target of criticism.

“She’s the seductress.”
