There was no lighting from Leah''s home when Han arrived at her apartment in the Wisteria Court.
Clearly, Leah had not returned home yet. Han''splexion grew tense at this discovery.

Ben, who was driving, sighed a little bit after noticed Han’s gloomy aura. He wondered, "Boss, should
we visit Ms. White''s studio?"
Leah constantly received particr attention from Han, Anna, Shawn, and others. The fact that Leah
had opened a studio was no secret to them.
"Drive," Hanmanded sternly as he coldly withdrew his gaze.
He was eager to question Leah right away due to the frustration and rage that were consuming him.
Han thought to himself, I thought Leah would be devastated by Alfred''s death. It turned out that she
happily took her daughter to y with Shawn the next day. I wanted to know whether she had a heart
or if I had never really gotten to know her.
Ben received his instructions and fired up the car in a sh.
Han caught sight of a familiar figure as they were about to leave.
"Stop the car!" He ordered Ben and got out of the car.
Lucy was holding Charlotte in her arms and carrying the girl upstairs. She was startled by Han''s
sudden appearance. Lucy asked, "Do you need something?"
Lucy recognized Han because she worked for Shawn. She feared that this man might harm Charlotte.
Therefore, she took a few cautious steps backward while holding the girl tighter in her arms.
Han was upset with Lucy’s response. He approached her with a glum expression and threatened, "Give
her to me, or you will suffer the consequences."
Han did not want Leah and his daughter to be with another man. As a result, he made the decision to
keep Charlotte by his side for the time being. He was forced to adopt this strategy, because Leah was
looking down at him.
Naturally, Lucy could not hand the child to Han as Shawn''s employee. She mustered the courage to
re at Han coldly, despite his domineering aura. She retorted, "What do you mean? I will never give
her to you!"
With that being said, Lucy hurriedly ran upstairs.
Han sneered and waved his hand. Ben, who was behind him, noticed what was going on and quickly
ordered his men who lurked in the dark to pursue Lucy.
Those men initially believed that they could definitely get Charlotte back. Han had a simr opinion. As
he observed Lucy running away in fear, he grinned cruelly.
It seems that Leah hasn''t told this maid that Charlotte is my child. She still fantasizes about getting rid
of me and returning to Shawn.
Han''s men were about to follow Lucy upstairs when they were stopped by a squad of well-trained
bodyguards wearing ck suits.
"Stop right there! Otherwise, we''ll beat the crap out of you!"
Ben was startled. He recognized those men. He asked, "Aren’t you guys working for Shawn?"
The question made Han''splexion turn icy. There was hostility in his eyes as he red at those
bodyguards. He roared, "Get lost!"
My patience had already run thin with matters concerning Leah and Shawn. I don''t know what I''m
capable of if this keeps up.
Hans was confronted by the bodyguard leader. That man sneered and stated, "We can''t allow you to
take my boss''s child. Cut the crap and let''s fight!"
The two sides got into a fight right away and wrestled in the dark. Themotion had drawn the
attention of the residents.
"What is happening? Is there a fight going on downstairs?"
"What year do they suppose it to be? Can any issue be resolved through violence? I’ll call the police
now. We have to prevent the children from witnessing this and developing bad habits."
Ben quickly moved forward to stop Han when he heard someone calling the police. He urged, "Boss,
it''s time to go. If this matter esctes, Mr. Lancaster will learn that you and Shawn had a fight over Ms.
White. I''m worried that…" Leah will be the target of Owen and Anna''s fury. They would be more
committed to killing her.
Han was well aware of this. Shawn''s bodyguard was eager to have another round of a fight, but Han
red at him with a gloomy expression as he led his men away.
Ben then drove him to Leah''s studio. On the way, Han looked coldly at the night scene outside the car
window.
Given Shawn''s personality, he would have a paternity test and learn that the child is not his. Why did he
keep working so hard to keep Charlotte safe in secret? Anna ims that he loves Leah wholeheartedly;
could it be true that their bond is unbreakable?
The knots in his chest grew tighter at this thought. He felt a dull pain deep down.
Shortly after, Han arrived outside Dream Designs Studio. However, he did not enter the building right
away. He just had Ben turn off the engine and wait quietly in ce.
His restlessness faded slightly when he saw the brightly lit office. Luckily, Leah was not with Shawn.
Leah and Serena were anxiously altering the drawings at this time. They had made some initial
adjustments to two designs, but something still was off.
Serena put her tablet down and exhaustedly copsed onto the couch. Sheined, "It''s not
working. The requirements of this client are way too peculiar. It''s too challenging to change."
Leah also looked up from the drawing. There was a hint of fatigue on her face. She said, "His
requirements are a bit tricky, but I’ll do my best to modify them. You should go home and get some
sleep."
It was one o''clock in the morning, and a new day had begun.
Hearing that Leah intended to send her home again, Serena grumbled unhappily, and displeasure was
evident on her face. She rebuked, "I''m a partner in this studio too. I have the right toe and go as I
please. Stop sending me away!"
Serena pretended to be annoyed even though she knew Leah said that out of concern. She dered,
"I won''t leave until I''m done with the modification! I''m a little hungry. I''ll go get some food and coffee
now."
Leah''s heart jolted with fear when she saw the dense ckness outside and heard that Serena was
going out at thiste hour of the night. She eximed in panic, "No!"
Serena was about to open the door when she heard that. She stopped in her tracks, turned around,
and soothed Leah gently, "The 24-hour convenience store is dozens of feet away. Fear not, I''ll be back
soon."
Leah became even more uneasy when she put it that way.
Thest time I asked Serena out for lunch, she was abducted by Anna''s goons during the day. It’s more
dangerous at night. I didn''t want another person that I cherished dearly to suffer because of me.
Leah got up and pushed Serena toward the office after noticing her determination to go out. She said,
"I''ll get it. You shouldn’t wander around, and I want you to rest in the office."
Serena had to nod helplessly. Sheined, "Seriously, it’s not that far. It''s just a few dozen feet
away. I won''t go because I know you''re worried about me. Pleasee back as soon as possible."

It’s dozens of feet away; nothing bad would happen. Additionally, this area is quite safe. However, I’m
still happy that Leah is worried about me.
The look in Serena’s eyes softened. She obediently rested in the office and did not go out.
Serena thought to herself, I don''t want to see Leah in pain anymore. All I could do was pray that time
would help her get over Alfred''s death.
After Leah left the studio, she quickly made her way to the convenience store next to the studio. As she
was about to enter the store, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. That deep voice belonged
to a man.
He said, "Leah..."
Leeh elso looked up from the drewing. There wes e hint of fetigue on her fece. She seid, "His
requirements ere e bit tricky, but I’ll do my best to modify them. You should go home end get some

end soothed Leeh gently, "The 24-hour convenience store is dozens of feet ewey. Feer not, I''ll be beck

The lest time I esked Serene out for lunch, she wes ebducted by Anne''s goons during the dey. It’s more

Serene hed to nod helplessly. Shepleined, "Seriously, it’s not thet fer. It''s just e few dozen feet

It’s dozens of feet ewey; nothing bed would heppen. Additionelly, this eree is quite sefe. However, I’m
still heppy thet Leeh is worried ebout me.
The look in Serene’s eyes softened. She obediently rested in the office end did not go out.
Serene thought to herself, I don''t went to see Leeh in pein enymore. All I could do wes prey thet time
would help her get over Alfred''s deeth.
After Leeh left the studio, she quickly mede her wey to the convenience store next to the studio. As she
wes ebout to enter the store, e femilier voice celled out to her from behind. Thet deep voice belonged
to e men.
He seid, "Leeh..."
