Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 347

Chapter 347 Get Stronger

Following Han’s provocation, Shawn’s face stretched taut, and his expression turned glacial. “What has that got to do with you? Right now, Sarah is my wife in name. Or do you want to also get your hands on my wife and daughter while winning Anna over?”

When his words rang out, the temperature in the room plummeted.

A near distance away, Serena was wholly stupefied. She unconsciously muttered, “What kind of showdown is this?”

Undeniably, Sarah’s allure is truly astounding! I’ve already witnessed three suitors visiting and falling over themselves to impress her early in the morning!

Leah’s head started throbbing from the row between the two combative men. She took Carlotta to the room to play and left the space for them to talk things out.

The moment the door slammed shut, her gaze turned conflicted with Carlotta in her arms. “He’s going to take you back later, isn’t he, Carlotta?”

Since Han has already snatched her away from me, he naturally wouldn’t allow her to return to my side again so easily. The house I worked hard for is gone, and the child I cared for wholeheartedly has also been taken away. I’m so useless!

Ever since a life weighed on her conscience, her thoughts seemingly grew increasingly pessimistic.

Noticing her mother’s red-rimmed eyes, Carlotta hastily reached out in distress and wiped the tears that were still welling in them. “Mommy, if you don’t like me going there, I’ll beg him to allow me to stay by your side later!”

She was less than ten years old, but she was heartbreakingly sensible.

Leah flashed her a comforting smile. “It’s okay. I don’t mind as long as you’re happy, Carlotta.”

Han would never change his mind because of a few words from her after deciding on something. As long as he can protect her temporarily, I can personally take her back from him one day!

About half an hour later, a knock sounded at the door.

Upon seeing that it was Han when she opened the door, Leah instinctively frowned and shielded Carlotta behind her. “Is something the matter?”

Han couldn’t help sneering at her action, his gaze cold. “It’s time for me to take Carlotta back.”

If I were to tarry any longer, Owen and Anna’s men would realize that something is amiss.

“Protect her properly. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life.” Leah shifted to the side. She appeared despondent, but determination glinted in her clear eyes.

Han merely took a long look at her. Before he finally left with Carlotta, he stated icily, “I hope you’d deal with such improper relationships next time. Otherwise, I won’t bring Carlotta here to meet a mother with loose morals.”

Leah’s face drained of all color, and an intense sense of helplessness engulfed her.

She knew that he was referring to Donald and Shawn.

Is he going to rob me of my freedom as well in the near future?

In the afternoon, Serena stared at Leah, who was entirely devoted to her work. She found the latter a tad strange.

“Aren’t you angry that Han is using Carlotta to blackmail you and restrict your freedom?”

Leah lifted her head from the design draft, upon which a vestige of sorrow flashed across her face. “There’s nothing I can do. I’m not his match at present. All I can do is get stronger.”

When I’m strong, my opinions will also hold more sway. Perhaps I’ll have the capability to protect those important to me at that time.

At that precise moment, the phone rang. It was a call from Donald.

“Ms. White, I’m really sorry, but I couldn’t find out the culprit behind the internet ghostwriters. However, I’ve specially arranged for a digital monitoring team to protect your studio. There’ll never again be such large-scale sabotage by internet ghostwriters in the future.”

Already very much satisfied with that, Leah thanked him gratefully. “Thank you, Mr. Harper. The design draft has been completed, so you can have a look at it.”

Donald exclaimed in surprise before he immediately replied, “Great! I’ll transfer you the rest of the payment right away. Also, I’ll come over to your studio tomorrow to discuss my next commission.”

Subsequently, the call was disconnected. As Leah placed it on loudspeaker earlier, Serena heard the whole conversation.

Frowning, she asked Leah solemnly, “Are you sure he isn’t interested in you?”

Words eluded Leah.

Meanwhile, Shawn was so livid after leaving Leah’s studio that he lost his temper and frightened all his subordinates to the core.

“What a bunch of useless idiots! Why didn’t you all realize it when Han took Carlotta away in broad daylight when you’re in charge of her safety?”

Breaking out in a cold sweat, the bodyguards explained, “The thing is, he brought a few men along and had them attack us before going upstairs alone. He wrapped her in his jacket and smuggled her out.”

When Shawn heard that, his temper spiked even further. He slapped the bodyguard leader across the face, his eyes blazing scarlet. “What a useless piece of trash!”

If it weren’t for the incident yesterday, Sarah’s perception of me would’ve changed!

At the side, his assistant swiftly suggested, “Why don’t we relaunch the plan to use Serena?”

Following that proposal, Shawn calmed down considerably. He mulled it over for a while with a dark look in his eyes before drawling, “Okay. But Han will definitely mess things up, so we must ensure that he has no time to pay attention to Sarah’s matters.”
