Chapter 17


    “Stop that nonsense!” Han frowned and scolded after hearing Shyanne’s exnation. Then, he walked


    over to Leah and grabbed her wrist. “I’ll bring you back there myself,” said Han coldly. Leah did not


    want to go back after escaping from that horrible ce. “No, I’m not going back.” Leah tried to pull out


    her wrist. “Don’t even think about it. That person is still at the hospital, unconscious from the


    concussion you caused. Her family had reported it to the police. So, you better stay at the mental


    hospital before they find you!” warned Han. “I rather stay in jail forever than the mental hospital,” said


    Leah through her gritted teeth as she looked directly into Han’s cold stare. “You!” Han was so furious.


    His clenched fists started to produce a crackling sound. At that moment, Molly appeared on the top of


    the staircase. “Han!” Molly slowly walked towards Han, but Shyanne tried to block her way. “Hey, Molly.


    I brought that woman here to apologize to you,” said Shyanne with a stiff smile. “I don’t need her to


    apologize to me. If she hurts someone, so she will be sent to the police. But, I want to know why Han is


    protecting that woman,” said Molly, looking at Han with a sad expression, like she had been wronged.


    “Protecting her?” Shyanne was startled. “That’s impossible, Molly. Why would my brother protect a


    stranger instead of you? You know his feelings for you,” she exined. Leah thought she would be sad


    when she heard such hurtful words, but she did not. She was not surprised at Shyanne saying those


    words because she knew everyone in the Howard family had hearts of stone, including Han and


    Shyanne. So, Leah turned and looked at Molly. “Miss Lamere, I think you had misunderstood.” It was


    the first time she denied her rtionship with Han. “Didn’t you im that Han is your husband? So why


    do you deny it now?” Molly did not n to let Leah go easily. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t well that day and had


    misspoken. Please do not take my words too seriously. I had absolutely no rtion with Mr. Howard at


    all,” said Leah tly. Suddenly, she felt Han tighten his grip on her wrist and inflict pain. “Isn’t that so,


    Mister Howard?” Leah looked up at Han and gave him a meaningful smile. However, Han’s face


    scrunched up, like he could swallow Leah whole. “Say it again?” Leah could not understand. she


    thought that was what Han would want her to say. Instead, Han looked even more furious. “Han!”


    Shyanne quickly tried to warn her brother. However, Hanpletely ignored Shyanne. Instead, he


    stared at the smile on Leah’s lips. How dare this woman challenge me in front of everyone? Does she


    truly think that I am too cowardly to admit our rtionship? Who does she think she is? Han wasAll content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    irritated by the smile on Leah’s face. He threw off her wrist, but when he looked at Molly, he behaved


    like nothing mattered. “I had no rtion with her, so there’s no need for me to protect her. She is just a


    mental patient. We don’t need to get all worked up over her.” Leah lowered her eyes and looked at her


    bruised wrist. Indeed, Han would never make the woman he loved sad.
