Leah squirmed.

This was the first time Han showed her any care.

She nodded with a less-than-natural expression. “I’m alright.”

There was a short pause before she looked up and glanced his way. “What about you?”

“Hm.” Han nodded. There was a hostile glint in his eyes. “What is your opinion on what happened this time?”

“Huh?” Leah didn’t understand what he meant and was rendered speechless. She could only answer in a stumped manner. “I… I don’t know.”

Han suddenly thought the dull woman before him seemed more… pleasant to the eye.

At least her innocence did not seem to be fake.

“It’s obvious this was someone’s deliberate attempt at harming me,” Han said placidly.

“I don’t know.” Leah froze and shook her head. “I don’t understand why you’re telling me this.”

Leah was not sure why he was telling her about it. Was he trying to test her?

This man had always been a profound thinker. She could not guess what was on his mind.

“Heh.” Han chuckled and shook his head. “You’re truly a fool.”

Leah did not know what to say.

He paid her no mind and continued. “Someone wants me dead and you were the one who messed up their schemes. Do you think the involved party has their eyes on you now?”

He’s right.

But therein lay the problem. The one who wanted him dead could be Shawn Ford.

And that man already had dirt on her!

Leah bit her lip in fear of the questions that Han would ask. If she were to expose Shawn, Han would…be privy to what had occurred that night.

She could not do that.
