Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Countermeasure

It was quite unusual for the entire Veyris to ostracize a startup company like Dream Designs.

Leah put her phone away. She knew this was Anna's doing. After all, Anna married Shawn so they now controlled the two most important seaports on Veyris.

"Sarah, they are trying to cut us off from the entire market. If this carries on, our company will..." Serena was deeply concerned. It didn't take long for her to put two and two together. "That Anna wants to destroy your career now that she failed to take Han from you."

"Forget about her." Leah wasn't too riled up. "We need to make sure the public is on our side. Tell our PR department to increase our visibility and debunk any negative rumors."

Serena nodded in agreement. "You're a genius, Sarah. We can sway the royal family if the public supports us."

She immediately headed into her room and contacted the PR department. If anything could hold Leah back from her plan tomorrow, it would be Carlotta. She entered her daughter's room just to see that Carlotta was half-asleep.

"You're done talking already, Mommy? Are you going to tell me a story now?" Carlotta ducked out from the sheet and rubbed her eyes.

Leah's heart grew tender with Carlotta's infantile voice. "Which story do you want to hear tonight?"

"Anything, Mommy." Carlotta gave a bright smile.

It was a peaceful winter night, like the calm before the storm.

Leah woke up to a rainy day the next morning. Han didn't return home at all. After she had breakfast with Carlotta, Leah nagged,

"Remember what I said, Carlotta. Don't go anywhere today. The men here will protect you."

She truly couldn't let go of her baby girl.

"Yes, Mommy. I'll protect myself," answered Carlotta obediently, which slightly reassured Leah.

As usual, Leah hailed a cab to her office. This time, she was all alone. Han and his people were all escorting her in secret. Meanwhile, Susan played the role of a potential client. Together, Susan and Leah went to a remote place to evaluate the feasibility of a project.

"Sarah, I plan to build a theme park here. Can you look around and come up with a refreshing design?" Susan explained her demand.

The only companion they had was a vast grassland.

"Sure." Leah nodded. She then proceeded to take photos of the area.

"I need to use the toilet." Susan found an excuse to disappear. She then snuck into a van.

It began to drizzle now. There was a murderous intent in the air. Like a vulnerable target, Leah felt exposed.

Now?

She pulled her jacket closer to her body.

Pshiiu.

A sharp sound echoed through the air. Before Leah knew what happened, a dagger was planted on her back. Leah staggered and fell to the ground promptly. Han managed to lock down his target the moment the assassin struck.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Three men clad in black fell from a tree.

"What do you want from Ms. White?" Ben tied the three men and interrogated one of the three men.

The man just gave a derisive chuckle and bit the poison capsule inside his mouth. He died right away.

"You aren't dying today," said Serena as she quickly shoved a cotton cloth into the mouth of the remaining assassins.

Han sauntered in. If anything, he looked more like an assassin.

He looked down at the assailants. "Why is Ravensong targeting Sarah White?"

Han's merciless aura didn't intimidate them. They only glared at him.

"I can only wish you luck," Serena lamented.
