Serena's first reaction after hearing Ben's words was to run as fast as she could; she did not want to be

caught.

She looked around and finally found an open spot. She used all her might to run in that direction.

"O-Ouch!" She ran right into someone, and she banged her nose on that person's chest. She rubbed

her sore nose, and she was about to curse. But she looked up and realized it was Han.

"H-Hey, Mr. Howard, what a coincidence!" She gave him an awkward smile and greeted him. She felt

that she could not get away from the villa today.

Han said expressionlessly, "This is my villa; is it strange to meet me here?"

Isn't this woman Leah's friend? Why is she here?

"Then I won't bother you; I still have something to attend to. G-Goodbye!" She bypassed him and

wanted to escape.

Ben was alerted and blocked her way out.

Han exchanged looks with Ben, and he walked away.

Ben understood what he wanted, so he asked their men to take Serena upstairs to the study.

"W-what are you doing? Han Howard, what on earth do you want to do? Do you know that you are

breaking the law here?"

Serena was pinned down by two bodyguards and could not break free at all. She was being forcefully

dragged, and she kept cursing Han along the way.

Ben stopped in front of the study room, and he opened the door. He warned Serena with a fierce look,

and he said coldly, "Mr. Howard is waiting for you inside; you better watch your mouth; if not, no one

can save you!"

Han was down and upset at the moment due to Alfred's death, and Serena might be a scapegoat for

Han.

Serena glared at Ben viciously, and she rubbed her sore wrist. She took a deep breath and walked into

the study.

Hmph! I'm not afraid of you, and I don't believe that people will engage in the underworld.

Serena looked at Han warily.

He pointed to the chair in front of him, motioning for her to sit down. "Have a seat."

"No, I'm fine standing up."

He glared at her coldly and questioned her, "Why does Leah ask you to come here?"

His intuition had always been accurate; he was sure that Serena was here due to Leah. And he knew

the purpose of her appearance.

He gradually tightened and clenched his fists under the desk; he did not intend to let Leah know about

Alfred's death.

His death was more or less related to her; Han was afraid that she could not accept the truth.

Serena gulped, and she said loudly, "Mr. Howard, I heard that you're back, so I wanted to have a look

at you. I have no other intention of coming here." She looked out the window with a guilty conscience.

She was always bad at lying since she was a child.

He could see right through her lie; he sneered and asked her, "Is it true?"

"Certainly!" She felt guilty, so she answered in an instant.

Han got up and stared at her sharply, and he said, "I don't care what you saw; you can never say a

word to Leah. If not, I can't guarantee that your parents abroad can live a carefree life."

He had never bothered to threaten anyone, but he would not mind doing it for Leah.

"Ben!" He yelled at the door.

Before Serena could react, Ben came into the room and brought her out of the study.

In the car, Serena realized belatedly that Han was actually threatening her. She glared at Ben, who was

sitting beside her.

She said furiously, "What does your boss want? You can go back and tell him that I'm not afraid of

anything!"

She could never vent on Han, so she vented on Ben instead, since he was his subordinate.

Ben adjusted his glass frame when he heard her words; he roughly knew Han's intention in threatening

her.

"You're Serena, right?"

Serena raised her chin and glanced at Ben, and she asked, "What do you want?"

Ben explained slowly, "Alfred had passed away; his death was partially caused by Ms. White. This is

why Ms. White sent you here. If you let her know about it, how do you think she would react?"

Ben was devastated by Alfred's death, but he knew that he had to accept the truth.

Leah was a soft-hearted person; if she knew what happened, she would always live with guilt. So, Ben

guessed that this was the real reason behind Han's action.

Serena gasped in surprise.

So this was why Leah was acting so strange; no wonder she wants to find out Alfred's whereabouts.

What surprised Serena even more was that Han was not as much of a scumbag as she thought he

was. He wanted to hide it from Leah to prevent her from being guilty.

Ben observed Serena's reaction, and he said, "So you know the truth now; Mr. Howard is also

concerned about her. You can decide whether you want to tell Ms. White the truth or not."

During their conversation, they had actually arrived at the hospital entrance. Serena was still digesting

Ben's words.

Ben got out of the car, and he opened the car door for Serena.

"We already informed the person in charge of Ms. White's ward, so you can freely access her ward

anytime you want. Please take good care of her."

Leah was staring blankly at the ceiling, and she was having some bad feelings.

"Leah…" A voice sounded at the door and got her attention back. She quickly got up from the bed.

"Serena, how did you get in here?"

She was surprised to see Serena here; she thought that Han forbade everyone from entering her ward.

"How is it? Have you seen Alfred? Is he okay? How's his injury?" She was blurting non-stop. She

grabbed Serena's arm and looked at her expectantly.

Serena looked at the ground instead of answering; she did not know what to say.

Leah murmured to herself, "What's the matter? Was he seriously injured? Didn't Han's men go to

search for him? They should have found him by now, right?"

Serena looked at Leah's expressions, and it pained her.

Maybe Han was making the right choice.

"Leah, you're asking me so many questions at once; which one should I answer you first?"

Leah showed her an apologetic smile, and she said softly, "O-Oh, that's right... I was being too

anxious."

Before Serena could speak, she continued, "Then you just have to tell me, is Alfred alive?"
