Chapter 8


    Leah was disheartened by the man’s response. She took a deep breath and turned to Molly before


    saying, “Given Ms. Lamere’s high standards, I’m sure she is unwilling to be engaged with a liar. After


    all, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime affair.” Leah had expected Han to show signs of nervousness.


    However, to her surprise, he calmly held onto Molly’s hand and said gently, “I can call off the


    engagement if you don’t trust me.” Molly shook her head and said apologetically, “I believe you, Han.


    I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have doubted you…” Leah was taken aback by the twist of events because she


    had not expected Han to deceive Molly so easily. In truth, thetter did not believe the man’s words as


    she could sense that something was going on between Han and Leah. However, she was deeply in


    love with Han and was unwilling to do anything that would jeopardize the engagement. Despite this,


    she was annoyed at the discovery and secretly swore to fix the situation. Molly’s eyes started to turn


    watery as she pleaded, “Please don’t be mad at me. I…” Han touched her lips to prevent her from


    continuing. He then coaxed, “I understand. I just hope that you won’t be influenced by people with ill


    intent.” The man turned to look at Leah in disgust before adding, “You should never believe the words


    of a crazy woman.” Appalled by the man’s response, Leah wondered to herself, how can he say all that


    with such confidence? Isn’t he afraid that someone will check on our marriage status and reveal the


    truth? Leah thought long and hard as she could not understand how the event had unfolded. She


    clenched her jaw and asked Han, who had returned after escorting Molly to the car, “Did you expect


    that Molly would not check you?” The man let out a soft chuckle and returned a death stare that left one


    afraid. “You are so gullible, Leah. Did you really think that you can hurt me like this?” Leah replied in


    puzzlement, “What do you mean?” Han lowered himself to her ears, sending shivers down her spine


    with his deep breathing. He whispered, “Have you ever considered that if the Lamere family knew of


    your existence, not only will you be unable to get out of this ce forever, but your life may also be in


    grave danger?” Leah’s face turned as pale as a sheet as she understood the gravity of the matter.


    Even though she wanted to deny it, she knew that there was some truth in the man’s words. This left


    her in a difficult position because she was bound to lose no matter what decision she made. Seeing


    that Leah finally grasped the situation, Han gave a coldugh and turned around to walk away. Just


    then, he received a call from his assistant. The man reported, “You have guessed correctly, Mr.


    Howard. Ms. Lamere met the nurse head alone and she saw Ms. Murray’s case file.” Han gave a faint


    smile and instructed, “Just make sure that the nurses keep their mouths shut. There’s no need to do


    anything else.” “All right, Mr. Howard. You should also know that arge sum of money was credited to


    the head nurse’s bank ount. We checked that it was given by Ms. Lamere.” Molly wasted no time in


    dealing with the matter. Han thought to himself for a short while before speaking, “There’s no use for a


    disloyal person. Get rid of her.” “I understand, Mr. Howard.” Han was deep in thought after hanging up


    the phone. He cast a sidelong nce at Molly, who was standing beside the car outside.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
