Chapter 403 The Poison Will Soon Take Effect

Leah was carried to the bed by Han. He gave her a passionate kiss before she had a chance to react.

She was taken aback when she noticed a glimmer of sadness in his cold eyes, which were ordinarily cold and aloof in the dim moonlight. Leah felt a tightness in her chest.

Is he in a bad mood? Why?

As the temperature in the room gradually increased due to their intimacy, she thought Han was going to do something to her. Instead, he abruptly released her and hugged her from behind.

After a long period of silence, the atmosphere began to cool down once more.

"What's wrong with you?" Leah asked as she panted. She was unable to hold back her question.

Han did not say anything other than to firmly hold her in his arms. His unusual behavior made her uneasy.

Leah slowly dozed off in his arms because it was late at night and she had been up all day.

"Leah, why can't you try to love me?" Han asked softly once she was breathing steadily.

His voice was soft. His words were lost in the soft breeze that entered the room.

Leah awoke the following morning in a cozy embrace. She noticed that she had spent the entire night falling asleep in Han's arms. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. She cautiously got up and prepared to leave, but Han caught her in his arms again.

Han stared blankly at her and said, "Mr. Baldwin told me that you have your eye on his building."

Leah struggled to free herself and ultimately sat on top of him. It appeared as though she was riding on him. She considered this posture to be inappropriate. She perfunctorily responded to get herself out of this situation, "Uh-huh, what's wrong?"

She wondered, did Mr. Baldwin tell Han so quickly before I even had a chance to go see the building?

Han mocked, "You are such a moron, Leah. Your level of intelligence hasn't increased over time."

He got out of bed and hugged her waist, but he kept her on top of him.

Leah's complexion turned slightly dark when he inexplicably scolded her. She asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you believe that a building in the city center would be sold for such a low price of 150 million dollars for no apparent reason?"

Leah had some reservations as well, but Mr. Baldwin had assured her that he was in desperate need of cash to expand his business overseas.

Han's sexy lips curled into a more cynical smile when he heard the explanation. He remarked, "It's incredible that after hearing him say this, you still don't understand how dangerous the situation is. Ask me if you want a building. I have one that I can give you."

Immediately after, Han’s lips were pressed against Leah's delicate neck. His voice became low and hoarse, "Of course, you have to please me first."

The bedroom door burst open before he could finish. Ben, Mrs. Fisher, the butler, and Carlotta all lost their balance and fell into the room.

Leah was at a loss for words.

Are they peeping on us?

She thought she was about to pass out from shame. She quickly covered herself with the quilt. Her ears were now red, and she was hiding her face with her hands.

Han's expression darkened as he reprimanded, "Get out."

Mrs. Fisher swiftly took Carlotta and fled after realizing that he had become enraged. She said, "Carlotta, let's go!"

Carlotta sighed regretfully, "I haven't seen the climax yet. I don't know if my parents have made up. It's all Ben's fault for coming over here. If he hadn’t, none of that would've happened!"

When Mrs. Fisher thought of the erotic scene just now, she could not help but break out in a cold sweat. She urged, "Carlotta, the two of them must have made up!"

Mrs. Fisher thought, how could the two still fight after Mrs. Howard sat on Mr. Howard? Speaking of which, it was the first time I discovered Mr. Howard's preferences.

The butler got up quickly and pretended to calmly straighten his suit after Mrs. Fisher and Carlotta left. He said, "Mr. and Mrs. Howard, breakfast is ready. Please come downstairs and enjoy your breakfast."

Ben wanted to leave after everyone else did. He was unable to do that, though, as he had something crucial to report. He had to bite the bullet and take a step forward.

"Boss, it has been confirmed that Mr. Baldwin is illegally raising funds and preparing to flee the country. Additionally, he took our 5 million dollar joint fund. Shall we send our own men to track him down or hand him over to the police?"

Han cast a downward glance at the woman hiding beneath the quilt. He answered calmly, "Let the police handle it."

Before Ben left, he asked him coldly, "What about that guy?"

Ben understood right away that Han was referred to as Donald. He said, "Boss, after our men warned him, he had restrained himself and found several scapegoats to clear his suspicions. He won't have any issues as long as we don't reveal him."

After that, the door was closed and the room quieted down.

Leah emerged from the quilt with a bewildered look. She asked, "Mr. Baldwin broke the law?"

Han sneered and mocked, "That's why I’m saying that you're stupid. Didn't you look into his background before cooperating with them? Many serious crimes had taken place in that building. He was desperate to get rid of it before his wrongdoings were exposed. If you bought it, you would have to bear all the responsibility."

This time, Leah did not get angry in the face of his ridicule. She was grateful and felt a pang of fear.

"Thank you."
