Chapter 46


    At four o’clock in the afternoon, Jackson arrived at the Saint Ville airport with Han and Molly.


    As soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw a ck Cayenne parked in front of the gate. The car


    window was down, and a man was seen sitting inside.


    He wore a pair of sses and a gray suit. He looked at Jackson and the others with a gentle


    expression.


    When they got closer to his car, he got out, opened the door, and greeted them. “Mr. Lamere.”


    “Shawn, you must have waited for us for a long time, hadn’t you?”Jackson smiled and patted Shawn on


    his shoulder.


    “No, I’ve just arrived,” Shawn smiled gently and chatted with Jackson. After that, he slowly focused his


    gaze on Han.


    “Long time no see, Mr. Howard. You sure are getting pretty bold these days.”


    Han smirked and said, “Likewise, Mr. Ford.”


    “Let’s get in the car. I’ve booked you a homestay. It’s very famous in Saint Ville. You’ll surely love it.”


    “Are you talking about Eden’s Court? I’ve heard that it’s a beautiful traditional-style homestay!” Molly


    chirped.


    “You’re right,” Shawn nced at her and said, “I have the n to purchase Eden’s Court recently, and I


    n to open a branch in Linkville. I’ll need Mr. Lamere’s help for that to happen.”


    Jackson halted for a moment and threw a nce at Han secretly. As expected, Han’s expression


    darkened.


    Han recently boughtnd on the outskirts of Linkville for a hotel. The paperwork wasplicated, and


    Jackson had been secretly helping him. If Shawn were toe to build Eden’s Court at Linkville, it


    would surely be another big project.


    The Linkville city council had started an environmental conservation initiative, and they would never


    approve two major projects at once, which meant only either Han or Shawn would have their way.


    Han twiddled his fingers and shifted his gaze. He finally knew why Jackson invited him to Saint Ville. It


    was to warn him: If he could not be Jackson’s obedient pawn, he would be reced at any time.


    “You lost again,” Sullivan put down the pieces and chuckled.


    Leah responded with a smile, “You’re a good chess yer, Mr. Simmons. I have a lot to improve.”


    Sullivan nced at the wall clock and said, “It’s already 5 o’clock. Let’s end this. C’mon, I’ll take you


    guys for dinner. The food in this homestay is very tasty. You must try it.”

    “Alright.” Both Leah and Ian stood up.


    As soon as they opened the door, someone passed by in front of them. Leah was surprised by the


    unexpected encounter. It was Han in a suit, and he looked annoyed.


    Leah halted. Of all the ces to bump into her enemy, she did not expect to encounter Han here.


    Perhaps her stare was too obvious, so Han noticed her presence. He turned his head and raised his


    eyebrows.


    “Ian? What a coincidence! Why are you here too?” Jackson looked at Ian.


    Ian hurriedly greeted him. “Mr. Lamere, I brought my friend to meet Mr. Simmons.”


    “Ah, I see. So, is this youngdy your friend? Why haven’t I seen her before?” Jackson looked at Leah.


    Leah met Jackson’s gaze. Although he looked like a gentle person at the first nce, he had sharp


    eyes. He’s not someone to be trifled with. That was Leah’s first impression of Jackson.


    “This is Sarah White, the youngdy who has just been reunited with the White family.”


    “I see. Molly and I were at another dinner party during the White family’s banquet. That’s why I don’t


    know about it,” Jackson said with a smile. “We need to be somewhere else, so we’ll take our leave for


    now. See youter,”


    “See youter, Mr. Lamere.”


    Throughout their conversation, Leah did not speak a word. She lowered her gaze and kept quiet as if


    being isted from the world.


    As Molly passed by her, she suddenly eximed, “Mr. Simmons, I remembered you’ll be hosting a


    concert soon?”


    Sullivan nodded with a smile, “That’s right. Do you want toe to the concert?”


    Molly grinned and replied, “No, I just suddenly remembered that I have a very good friend. She ys


    the violin very well. I want to introduce her to you.”


    Sullivan’s smile froze awkwardly. He nced at Leah and exined, “Well, I’ve just found my violinist.”


    “Oh? You managed to find someone so fast?” Molly pretended to be surprised. She nced at Leah


    and asked, “Don’t tell me it’s the youngdy beside you?”


    Leah could see the malice in Molly’s eyes. She instinctively raised her guard.


    “Yes, it’s her.”


    “Tsk, that’s a pity…” Molly chuckled and shifted her gaze. Noticing that, Han frowned.


    As he passed by Leah, he paused slightly and opened his mouth as if wanted to say something, but


    eventually, he said nothing.


    Shawn, who was walking behind, noticed the change in his expression. He turned his head to look at


    Leah. Hah, things have gotten interesting!


    Shawn led them to the private room. “The food in Eden’s Court is the best, and the selection of red


    wine is marvelous. You must try itter,” Shawn said after they were seated.


    At this moment, Molly stood up and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”


    After she left the private room, she walked to a corner where the surveince cameras could not see


    her and took out a pill from her bag. Her eyes were brimming with madness. Although Han promised


    her that he would be engaged to her, she was afraid that another ident would happen. Not on my


    watch! This time, I must get Han to marry me willingly!


    While passing by the private room, Molly met the waitress, who was bringing a bottle of red wine.


    Molly asked her, “Is this wine for the guests in this private room?”


    The waitress nodded and answered, “Yes.”


    Molly took the tray from her hand and said, “Give it to me. I’ll bring it in.”


    Not suspecting anything, the waitress handed the tray to Molly.


    After the maid left, Molly quickly opened the cap and put the pill into the bottle. Once the pill was mixed


    with the wine, nobody would noticed anything wrong with it.


    The pill was a strong aphrodisiac she bought exclusively from abroad. Even just a sip could produce a


    strong reaction, and the only relief was to be intimate with someone.


    This is my chance. Even if Shawn were here, she would still do the same. She believed that Shawn


    would naturally find another woman to solve his “problem”, so she was not worried at all.


    After the pill dissolvedpletely in the wine, Molly put the cap back and entered the room while


    smiling naturally.


    “What’s that?” Jackson looked at his daughter.


    Molly grinned and put the bottle on the table. “It’s the red wine you ordered. I happened to run into the


    waitress, so I volunteered to bring it in.” While exining, she poured a ss of wine and ced it in


    front of Han.
