Chapter 38
Throughout their three-year marriage, Leah had never enjoyed sex with Han. He was far from gentle
with her and he had never kissed her, not even behind closed doors.
Yet there he was, making out with Molly in the public. Leah’s heart sank. She looked at the keychain
she was holding and she lifted a miserable smile. I bet he won’t even notice this keychain has gone
missing. He doesn’t even love me, why would he care about a gift from me?
Leah slipped the keychain into her purse, before quietly leaving the stairwell. Little did she know Han
was observing her all this while. The moment Leah was out of his sight, Han pushed away Molly
impatiently.
“What’s the matter, Han?” Molly asked, taken aback. They had only shared a brief kiss, leaving her
yearning for more.
Han nced at his watch. He said coldly, “Excuse me, but I have to go now.” Molly wanted to say
something but he had already turned on his heel.
It had been a minute since her engagement party with Han was ruined. Despite her father urging them
to get engaged, Han managed to brush the matter off with various excuses. He left her with no choice
but to take things into her hands now.
Leah decided to return from the hospital once she regained consciousness. She felt fine despite the
shock. When she stepped into the house, Ian and Sasha were chatting on the couch. Sasha was
beaming while Ian looked distracted.
“Wee home, Ms. White.” Noticing Leah, one of the maids quickly greeted her. Ian nced at the
entrance and he immediately walked toward Leah.
“How are you feeling now? Are you okay?” He examined her with a concerned look. Leah shook her
head, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
Sasha red at Leah before approaching her with a forced smile. “Thank god you’re back, my dearest
sister! I was so worried about you. If you hadn’t pushed me away, I would have been the one being
taken hostage. Oh, what should I do without you, Sarah?”
To show how much she cared about Leah, Sasha pulled Leah into an embrace; she even teared up to
add to the effect. It worked; Leah felt she shouldn’t be too hard on Sasha. Perhaps she misunderstood
her.
Two dayster, the White sisters were working together again. Their father Gordon would be returning
today after sealing a significant deal he had spent almost a year abroad negotiating.
The deal boosted the White family’s reputation and everyone wanted to be friends with them. People
were flocking to Gordon’s wee home party to get on his good books.
Leah and Sasha changed into their dresses for the party. Sasha stared at Leah in her new dress,
though she was secretly seething inside. Leah looked pretty. Too pretty. Sasha felt threatened; she
needed to be the only rightful daughter in the family.
“Let’s go and greet the guests, shall we?” Sasha stered a smile on her face and she held Leah’s
hand. However, Leah wasn’t ready. She was afraid to bump into Han.
“I have to fix my makeup. I’ll meet you outside,” Leah said feebly.
“Sure.” Sasha resisted the urge to roll her eyes and she swiftly turned away.
As she walked away, Sasha thought of something, and she quickly returned to Leah. “Oh yes, Sarah!
Mom told me Han couldn’t make it today. She asked me to get you, so dad could introduce you to
everyone.”
Leah’s heart leaped as Sasha mentioned Han’s absence today. Sasha smirked, noticing Leah’s
reaction. “You look like you’re scared of Han. What happened?”
“I’m not. You’re overthinking this.” Leah denied it, trying to sound nonchnt.
As soon as Leah and Sasha stepped into the ballroom, Gordon waved at them, calling for Leah. Leah
paused for a moment and she walked over to Gordon on the stage.
Standing on the stage, she could see everyone in the ballroom. Han wasn’t among the crowd. She let
out a sigh of relief.
“May I get everyone’s attention please,” Gordon spoke, holding Leah’s hand, “I would like to share with
all of you today very happy news. This lovelydy here, her name is Sarah White, and I’m d to call
her my daughter.”
“Wait, what? Since when does Mr. White have two daughters?”
“This is not right. I remember he has only one daughter.”
Surprised by Gordon’s announcement, people were whispering. Gordon cleared his throat, “As you all
know, I lost my daughter in an unfortunate ident on the sea ten years ago. We found Sasha two
weekster. Then, we also found Sarah six months ago.”
“I am fully aware only one of them is my birth daughter, but my wife and I love both of them equally and
wholeheartedly. So please, cherish both of them as part of the White family.” Gordon concluded
following what he and his wife had agreed earlier.
No matter what, both youngdies should be treated equally before they knew what the truth was.
Gordon’s speech was greeted by a round of apuse.
“Mr. White is such a kind-hearted man.”
“Good for you, Mr. White! Now you have two daughters to take care of you.”
“Sarah is quite pretty. She does bear a resemnce to Mrs. White when she was younger.”
Lights dimmed in the ballroom as Sasha appeared on the stage, wearing a striking champagne-colored
dress. Everyone stopped and they looked at her in awe. A spotlight shone on her, casting an angelic
glow on her face. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Thank you everyone here for joining us in weing my father home,” she announced with a
confident smile, “Here’s a song for my father and all of you.”
Leah sat down in front of a piano. She began ying. The performance was wless.
“She ys it so well! I heard she won second ce in the International Piano Competition.”
“How elegant! Her proper upbringing shows in her perfect performance.”
“I bet the impostor can’t y half as well as her.”
Leah heard the two womenmenting about her. She turned to look at them. They red at her. She
was flustered by their hostility toward her.

“Well, well, hello there, little miss impostor,” one of the women jeered at Leah. “How could you do this
though? How could you fool the Whites and how could you try to rece Sasha?”
“Look at you! I’m amazed you have the confidence topete with Sasha,” the other woman joined in,
“See that angel on the stage? She’s the real deal. You’re nothing.”
“Sasha has been ying the piano and painting forever. She’s good with everything. What are you
good with? Do you even have any talent to show?”
Leah pursed her lips and she kept quiet. Before she could walk away, Sasha had finished her song and
everyone was cheering for her perfect performance.
Sasha stood up and she found Leah almost immediately. She called out to her, “Sarah, it’s your turn
now. Come on, show us your present for our dearest father!”
She tried to look as sincere as possible, yet she was secretly rejoicing at Leah’s dumbfounded reaction
to being put on the spot. Sasha was certain Leah had not prepared anything.
