Chapter 373 Onlooker

“Pack your stuff and return to the Ford family tomorrow.”, Leah ordered. She turned away from Lucy’s

pledging.

“I’m sorry, Ms. White…” Lucy felt distressed.

She should have known this day would come after she promised Mr. Shawn to spy on Ms. White’s

movement.

The following day, Leah did not inform the other members of the real reason for Lucy’s departure.

“Lucy is returning to assist the Ford family for the time being. Everyone continues to work hard.” She

found an excuse to keep Lucy’s image alive in everyone’s hearts.

It was her tenderness.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lucy stood her back to the door and carried her suitcase. Her eyes were

bloodshot, and she kept muttering.

After she left, the studio went back to normal. Leah visited Serena in the hospital and informed her of

Lucy's departure.

"Sarah, I saw the video of Lucy leaving that another employee sent me," Serena puzzled. "What is

causing her to cry so hard?"

"What in the world happened last night?" Serena inquired.

Leah’s eyes flickered slightly; her lips moved but hesitated to speak.

“She may never come back here to work again, so she is upset.” She comforted with a smile. She

decided to hold back from telling Serena the truth.

She knew that Lucy had no malicious intent. But she not only ruined herself but also implicated Serena

and possibly other employees in the future.

It was one of her red lines that couldn't be crossed.

Maybe Lucy mistook helping Shawn for helping herself. She didn't need this kind of imposed help.

“How are you feeling today, Serena?” Leah asked calmly to change the subject.

“I think I can be discharged from the hospital today.” Serena smiled cheerfully. She did not take Lucy’s

matter to heart.

Leah’s face sank slightly, “No, the doctor said you have to stay for ten days.”

“All right then.” Serena smiled helplessly after noticed her being serious.

“How’s your current relationship with Han? Did you fall in love with him again after becoming

acquainted?” Serena was being curious.

This unexpected topic perplexed Leah, and she could not help but recall that ambiguous night. Her

cheeks flushed slightly.

"No, it is still the same," She shook her head. “Everything he did to me was for vengeance."

This was the reason that made Leah's fervent heart to gradually cool. The light in her eyes faded.

"Sometimes, I think Han is not as cold-blooded and heartless as he appears," Serena frowned.

"Let's not go there; I've decided to live a good life in the future." Leah smiled mockingly. She also felt

the same way about him.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes twinkled with light.

"After this incident, my baby girl has grown up..." Serena was pleased to see her rare appearance of

vitality.

This also meant that she had finally gained clarity and decided to move on from the pain of the past.

"I'm not your daughter!" Leah declared angrily.

"How did you finally get over it?" Serena asked. Her pale face dyed with a hint of healthy rosy color.

"I did it after speaking with Hendrik." Leah was being honest.

Serena was stunned and let out a light sigh at first. " The same Mr. Hendrik that I thought?"

Her eyes shrank in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Leah was perplexed by her imposing demeanor. “Is there anything wrong with him?"

"It's a huge problem!" exclaimed Serena.

"For example?" Leah was stumped.

"That's the legendary Mr. Hendrik! How did he become one of your closest friends?" Serena looked at

her befuddled expression for a moment before exclaiming angrily.

It turned out to be the source of the problem.

"I met him in Qustraebar," Leah said with relief. “He recognized me and offered to assist me several

times. I asked him why he had approached me, but he refused to talk. He just stated that he would not

harm me."

Serena was perplexed, "He knows you? Is it possible that he likes you?"

"After Shawn, Donald, and Ian, will this mister drop by every day at the studio?"

Serena smiled broadly, recalling a scene where several men competed for a woman.

It appeared that the days ahead would not be bored.

"What are you thinking, Serena?" Leah’s face darkened. “We are just buddies."

"You're more than Ian's friend!" Serena replied.

This person was always the onlooker on the front lines.

Leah suddenly remembered prime details to share. "Serena, you and everyone should try to keep a

distance from Shawn from now on," she said, putting on a serious face.

"Because what happened to you this time appears to be related to him. Keep in mind..."

"Understood." Serena nodded. She concerned of her stern warning despite surprised at Shawn

actions.

She had a sneaking suspicion that something was wrong.

Lucy sudden departure at a time when the studio flooded with orders was, after all, suspicious.

She would not press her if Leah refused to speak.

"I'll go buy you lunch then," Leah smiled. “You can relax here and call me if anything comes up."

After purchasing a meal, Leah walked on the green sidewalk of the city roads as golden autumn leaves

fell.

She was a little worried because the gloomy autumn scenery meant that another year was about to

pass.

What Hendrik had told her would come to light at this appointed time.

"Uh-huh, move on..." she took a deep breath.

“Young lady.”

A frail and elderly voice cut her off.

The sudden appearance of the voice startled Leah, and she looked sideways at the elderly woman who

was a head shorter than her, "What's the matter, Grandma?"

A gentle smile spread across her delicate face, and a defenseless look fell into the woman's eyes, with

a deep smile flashing across her eyes.

"Young lady, I'm starving. "Can you buy me a meal at that restaurant?"

"You can eat this, Grandma," Leah hurriedly handed her takeaway. “I'll get another..."

"It's just two hundred meters ahead.” She explained with a guilty expression.

“The food is very cheap and won't cost you too much. This one is too expensive; you keep that to

yourself.” The elderly woman pushed the takeaway back into Leah’s arms.

Leah finally gave in to the woman's wishes and went with her to a restaurant not far ahead.

It was noon now, and there were many people on the street, so she didn't suspect anything else at all.

It wasn't until the old woman shoved her into the frozen warehouse in the restaurant as soon as she

walked in that she realized she had been duped.

Leah was dumbfounded.

When she looked at the closed cold storage door, her eyes turned red with resentment.

She treated the older woman with sincerity and didn't expect to be hurt.

Before she could respond, all of the air conditioners in the cold storage began to blow cold air, causing

the temperature to drop.

She would die if this continues.
