Begging For A Reconciliation

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Leah exhaled a sigh of relief. She was grateful that she was given the chance to work with HJ

Corporation when she traveled abroad. Otherwise, she believed that she would never be able to pay

Han's 70 million until her next incarnation. She had raised 10 million dollars with this amount, in

addition to the profits she had made from Dream Designs during this time.

She thought for a while before making a phone call.

"Mr. Baldwin, I'm Sarah White. I consulted with you earlier. I want to revisit the office building that you

listed for sale."

Mr. Baldwin said, "I'm available to give you a tour three days from now, but I need to confirm that you

have at least 100 million dollars in funds."

Leah hung up the phone after they agreed on a time. She sat down at her desk and continued working.

Serena previously informed her that despite having a large number of orders, they were short-staffed

and had limited space in their studio. As a result, Leah decided to relocate the company to a larger

office and launch her own company.

Even though they seldom have loose orders, the studio should be able to continue operating thanks to

the company's long-term agreement with HJ Corporation. She decided to purchase the office building

and relocate her business there after seeing the advertisement in which Mr. Baldwin was selling it. The

only problem was that she was still short by 20 million dollars.

Leah headed to Dream Designs to meet Serena later that evening after finishing the product

advertisements for HJ Corporation. Their employees served them coffee as they sat in the office.

"Serena, I have found a good office building for the company, but they want to see proof of funds for

100 million dollars. I'm still short of 20 million. Can you lend me some money? Once I've completed the

verification, I'll pay you back."

"Sarah, why are you treating me like an outsider?" Serena cut her off before she could complete her

sentence.

Leah was a little taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Serena is the first person that comes to mind when I need to borrow money because I always think of

her as a friend.

When Serena saw how perplexed Leah looked, she sighed helplessly. She clarified, "Instead of telling

me that you want to borrow some money, you should just ask for it. I'll send it your way right away. You

don't need to pay me back. Consider it as my investment in the company!"

As she explained, Serena had completed the transaction using her mobile banking app.

Leah's eyes slightly reddened as she was greatly moved. She said, "Thank you."

Since it was getting late, Lead did not stay much longer in the office. She reminded Serena before

leaving, "By the way, I think Shawn and Jackson are up to something lately. He asked me to go out with

him all by myself yesterday. I need you to be careful and remember to bring bodyguards with you when

you go out."

Serena nodded gravely, "Hmm, it's normal for him to make a move, especially since some of his

company was recently taken over by Mr. Hendrik. Due to your good relationship with Mr. Hendrik, he

might try to target you."

The front desk receptionist interrupted the two as they were conversing with an internal call, "Ms. White

and Miss Coleman, Mr. Ford is here."

Leah had a bad feeling about this, she said, "Tell him that I’m not…"

"Sarah, what are you and your friend talking about? I want to hear it." Shawn's cheerful voice came

from the doorway as he pushed the door open and entered the office.

Even though Serena was displeased, she refrained from making a scene. She said, "Mr. Ford, please

leave. We’re in the middle of something."

Seeing that Shawn had made himself comfortable on the sofa, Leah's expression became complicated,

and she asked, "What do you want?"

Did he really believe I was unaware of what he had done? He is acting as if nothing has happened.

Shawn met Leah’s gaze. His smile sent chills down her spine. Shawn said, "What would you do, Sarah,

if you discovered Han was lying to you?"

With that being said, he took out several photos from his pocket and continued, "I want to meet you

because I don’t want you to be left in the dark."

The photos Shawn brought with him were the ones that Jackson had recently taken during their

investigation. The photos showed Hendrik and Han entering and leaving the same hotel.

Leah stared at the photos. She was stunned.

Shawn’s voice continued to come from the side, he said, "Sarah, I discovered that Han and Hendrik are

the same people."

He looked pleased with the shocking expression on Leah's face. He had the impression that Leah

would sever her relationship with Han and return to him.

Serena's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed, "They are the same person? That's impossible!"

Why did Han have to hold back for all these years if he was as great as Mr. Hendrik?"

Leah struggled for a while to hold back her shock. She pushed the photos back to Shawn and said,

"Whether they are the same person or not has nothing to do with me."

She had long held the suspicion that they were different people, but she has since confirmed that they

were not the same person. These photos by themselves were not very convincing.

Seeing that she still did not believe him, Shawn's gaze turned ruthless. He grabbed her slender wrist

and asked slowly, "Sarah, what do you love about him?"
