Chapter 408 The White Group Is Doing Well
Leah woke up an hourter. The bumps in the car and the asional whooshing sound of oing
vehicles woke her up. She felt safe before she even opened her eyes thanks to theforting and
pleasant cold scent that filled her nostrils.
It was Han.
Leah wondered, "How did you get here?"
Leah felt ufortable and sat up when she noticed herself dozing off in Han''s arms. She shifted her
attention to the night scene outside the car window. Her eyes had a dull look in them.
Once more, he came to my rescue. I never thought I wouldn''t be able to handle something so simple.
Han would definitely scold me for acting like a fool again.
Han, however, refrained from criticising Leah in any way. Instead, he stretched out his slender and
good-looking fingers to loosen his tie. His eyes had a dark look to them. Han exined, "I''ve grown
ustomed to the various ways you ask for your own death. Ross informed me of your whereabouts
tonight in advance."
Leah was stunned. His direct remarks caused her face to flush with embarrassment.
"Thank you," she replied softly and her voice was barely audible.
He saved Ross and me. I''m grateful for that. However, Ross is Hendrik''s man, why would he report my
whereabouts to Han? Is Ross a spy?
Leah''s mood became mncholy due to her suspicion. She decided to interrogate Han thoroughly
some other day.
Han felt his throat slightly dry when he saw Leah’s rosy cheeks and the faint, lingering scent of alcohol
on her. He moved his head closer to her and teased, "Is this the only thing you''re going to do to thank
me?"
Leah''s heart beat fiercely as she heard his deep and raspy voice. She moved away to create some
distance between them. She asked, "Well…what else am I supposed to do?"
As expected, Han’s rescue came with a catch!
Han held the back of her head but made no further exnations. He bends down to get extremely
close to her face. The distance between their faces allowed them to feel each other''s breathing.
He said, "You know exactly what I want. I need you to make the first move."
Leah''s heart was aching as her face turned a little pale.
He constantly presents the impression that he is making fun of and ying with me. I feel cheap and
degraded around him.
"No…"

She resisted him obstinately by biting her lower lip and turning her head away.
Han''s eyes grew cold.
Leah started violently coughing just as he was about to say something.
"Cough! Cough!"
She felt as though she was about to cough her lungs out. She was incredibly upset.
Han was deeply worried as Leah’s face turned red from coughing. He gave the driver instructions to
head to the hospital.
"Hasn''t your cold gotten better?" He reached out to touch her forehead. The heat made his eyebrows
furrow.
Leah was in poor health. She had been experiencing fevers on and offtely. Not long after that, Leah
received an IV drip in the hospital. The medicine gradually made her fall asleep.
Han red coldly at the attending physician and asked, "What''s wrong with her?"
The attending physician wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He answered shakily, "Mr. Howard, it''s
just amon cold. She may have gotten drunk this time, which may have caused it."
Han took in the pallid features of Leah. He sensed an uneasiness spreading in his heart. It’s not normal
for her to have recurring fevers and colds. He called Ben and gave orders, "Get the best doctors from
overseas here. I don’t care how much it’ll cost me."
"Roger that, boss," Ben said with a respectful nod.
Ross informed Han of Leah''s daily schedule at the White Group after Ben left.
"Ms. White puts a lot of effort intopleting her tasks every day, Mr. Hendrik. So far, she hasn''t
discovered your identity as Hendrik. I guess it''s more likely that she doesn''t want to believe it. Are you
sure you want to keep it a secret from her? The thing that Ms. White detests the most is being duped.
Will your rtionship be impacted if she finds out?"
Hearing this, Han''s tall figure was frozen for a while. He warned him with icy gazes, and a trace of
loneliness shed in his eyes, "Mind your own business. She cane to me when she finds out."
There were never any romantic feelings between them, to begin with.
Ross nodded. Then, he asked about the vigers'' disturbance, "What should we do about this, Mr.
Hendrik? Do you intend to take care of it yourself?"
Han nced at Leah, who was asleep on the bed. He pursed his lips and said, "No, she should learn
how to deal with it herself."
She wanted to grow and learn, and that much is obvious to me. She would be upset if I interfered.
When Leah woke up the next morning, before she had time for breakfast, she urgently asked Ross to
notify the legal department and file awsuit regarding this incident.
Leah instructed, "I need you to tell the police about what happenedst night. That vige chief and his
men had plotted to hurt us!"
After speaking firmly, she started to cough briefly. She felt a lot better the next morning after receiving
treatment all night.
She still believed there was something wrong with her body. She began to feel difort in her limbs.
Before feeling relieved and leaving the hospital, she made another call to her attending physician to
inquire whether it was simply a cold. She felt relieved after being assured by the physician and
proceeded to leave the hospital.
The vige chief and the vigers were taken into custody that day because they had acquired
evidence. Only ten thousand dors in humanitarianpensation was given to the vigers who had
broken legs.
Leah also dealt with the way this incident was being received on a smaller scale online.
The construction project resumed right away.
Additionally, Leah invited several shareholders to join thepany that afternoon.
After the meeting, White Group''s businesses were essentially back on track and moving in the right
direction.
"Ms. White is amazing! Thepany''s new image is starting to take shape. It’s much more
comfortable to work without those board members suppressing us!"
"Oh yeah! She also increased our base sry! I made a mistake earlier by ming Ms. White!"
"That''s right! The West Streetnd dispute had been dragged out for so long by those board members.
Ms. White ultimately won the project and showed herpetence!"
Thepany had a peaceful atmosphere. Leah''s reputation rose considerably.
…
Shawn was listening as his assistant gave him the White Group''s most recent development report. His
partially open eyes revealed a cold light flowing inside his pupils.
"What did you just say? How is it that White Group''s stock price has increased despite losing so many
shareholders and directors? What on earth happened?" Jackson yelled out in fury as he widened his
eyes in shock.
The assistant kept reporting indifferently, "Ms. White has been running thepany very well. She
handled public opinion skillfully, and she dealt with the marketing and management aspects wlessly
too. Additionally, she oversaw the promotion of the West Street project and announced thepany''s
new partnerships to the public.
"Everyone believes that White Group''s prospects are improving. Many investors are scrambling to
be their shareholders. Today, Ms. White also selected a few shareholders to join them. It can be
said that the White Group has almost gone through aplete change. It has evolved into apany
with new and vibrant energy."
After some thought, Jackson red icily at Shawn and said, "I had no idea this woman could do things
like that. We don''t need to get rid of her any longer. You need to find a way to marry her so that the
White Group will still be ours!"
Additionally, the White Group was now progressing so much better. I couldn''t bear to give it away so
easily.
Shawn''s eyes briefly shed with annoyance. He rebuffed with an icy expression, "You think I don''t
want to be with Sarah? The main problem is that she has Han in her heart!"
Jackson sneered meaningfully, "Then break their rtionship off and turn them into enemies for good."
