Chapter 389 The Bet

Leah made a bet with the top-level management.

Once she took over the West Street land, all of them had to apologize to her, and they had to accept

her sincerely as the acting CEO.

After the meeting, Leah inspected the work of various departments with Ross accompanying her.

She was no stranger to this place; just that she barely recognized the workers.

After Jackson took over the White Group, he changed all the workers in it to his favor.

He was the one that selected and hired the staff from the top-level management, so all of them were

hostile toward her.

When she passed the design department, she seemed to be in a daze thinking of something, so she

stood still for a while.

And she overheard some gossip among the workers.

"Is she the mistress? Is she the one that seduces men and ruins Princess Anna's engagement?"

"I feel disgusted looking at her; why is she still standing in our department?"

"This is really eye-opening for me to see a real sl*t in life."

Leah came back to her senses, and she walked straight to the staff that insulted her the most.

"Don't you all know the company's rules? Gossiping during working hours is wrong; your monthly

bonus will be deducted accordingly."

"The second time offender will be fired!" Her face darkened, and she spoke firmly.

Hendrik told her that she should move on without looking sideways or back. So, all she had to do was

do her best.

Running away could never solve the problem!

They did not expect Leah to be fierce; they all panicked and said, "Sorry, Ms. White, please forgive us!"

The White Group was a big company; they could not risk losing their jobs.

She would have felt sorry for such people back then, but she was not the old her.

The moment Alfred died for her made her realize that cowardice could not solve problems.

Right now, as the acting CEO on behalf of Hendrik, she should not be bullied by the staff.

After inspecting all the departments, she warned to expel many staff with solid reasons. So, none of

them thought that she was deliberately showing off her power.

She dragged her limp legs back to the office, and she sighed heavily. "A…Ah…"

She had been lying on her bed for twenty days due to her injuries, so her stamina reclined.

Ross looked at her with respect and said, "Ms. White, you've done well for the first day; you've

established your reputation among the staff."

Mr. Hendrik ordered me to establish her reputation for her, but I've done nothing after talking once for

her in the conference room.

Ms. White is way more capable than I thought.

Leah was exhausted and sleepy, but all the stress kept her wide awake.

She rubbed her eyes wearily and sighed softly. "Ross, please gather the Thompson family's information

for me, especially Mr. Thompson's details."

Ross nodded and said respectfully, "Okay, Ms. White!"

While waiting for the information, she made a phone call to Carlotta.

"Mommy! Why did you leave me and elope with Third Daddy? Bring me along!"

Carlotta's words almost made her fall from her chair.

Her face crumpled, and she said, "Carlotta, I'm just friends with Hendrik! There's no Third Daddy!"

"You've watched too much drama on television!"

Carlotta snorted softly, "Hmph! Where have you been since yesterday night? You think you can cover it

up with just a call?"

"Mommy, how could you leave me alone with Daddy Han? Let me know more about Uncle Hendrik!"

She palmed herself upon hearing her words, and she said, "Carlotta, I'll accompany you after work. I

stayed at his house for a night, and nothing happened."

Before finishing her sentence, she recalled that she climbed into Hendrik's bed; she flushed.

After finally dealing with Carlotta, she wanted to call Serena.

But worrying that Serena might gossip with her like Carlotta did, she chose to text her instead.

"Serena, please take over the Dream Designs for the time being. I'll be working in the White Group as

the acting CEO, so I might not be able to manage the studio's work. But don't be worried; I'll help with

the design draft whenever I can."

After sending the message, Serena straightaway called her.

"Sarah, it's strange for you to message me instead of calling me."

Leah sighed and responded, "Well, I'm afraid others will be dissatisfied with me on the phone during

office hours."

Serena chuckled and teased her, "You're the acting CEO now; who dares to say anything about you?"

After a while, Serena thought of something and said meaningfully, "I'll take care of the studio. So, tell

me now, who do you choose?"

"From what I've seen, Hendrik is the closest to you now. So, will he be your boyfriend soon?"

Leah was speechless.

At the same time, Han was back at the Villa Victoria.

He saw Carlotta sitting on the sofa, and she was writing about something in her notebook.

He walked up to her and caressed her soft hair. "Carlotta, what are you writing?"

Seeing him, Carlotta broke into a smile, and she said, "Daddy! I'm analyzing who Mommy likes!"

He smirked and asked, "O-Oh? Who does she like?"

She put down her notebook and said seriously, "First, she likes me the most!"

"And then, among the three daddies... I'm not sure who she likes the most."

Han pinched her cheeks for including Shawn; he said sternly, "Shawn is not counted; didn't your

mommy tell you about it before?"

Carlotta was stunned, and she asked, "Then, only you and Uncle Hendrik were left... There are others

who like Mommies, but she doesn't like them..."

Han was overjoyed to hear her words, and he smiled faintly. "Yes."

"I'll bring you to lunch first." He carried Carlotta to the dining table.

She laid in his arms, and she got alert smelling him.

Isn't this Uncle Hendrik's smell?

"Daddy, do you know Uncle Hendrik?" She asked him when she was eating.

He looked indifferent and asked, "What do you think?"

Carlotta wanted to ask him about his similar smell to Uncle Hendrik, but she was confused. "I have no

idea..."

Throughout the meal, she was staring at Han with her big, watery eyes.

She believed in her own intuition. Uncle Hendrik felt the same as Daddy.

Hendrik was always in a mask; she suspected that he might be the same person as Han.

Han left after eating, and Carlotta put her notebook aside and went straight to the computer.

She began to search for information about Hendrik and Han, and she secretly compared the similarities

between them.
