Gordon did not tell anyone else about his findings at Charlie’s house.

For the next few days, Sasha was on tenterhooks. She felt slightly more relieved when she

saw Gordon behaving just as usual.

After confirming that nothing would happen to her, she resumed her previous personality.

That person was helping her from behind the scenes. All she had to do was not step out of

line as the daughter of the White family.

That night, Gordon returned home with an unpleasant expression on his face. He tossed a

gold-stamped invitation card on the table.

“What’s that?” Jane asked curiously as she picked up the card.

“An invitation from the Lamere family,” Gordon said with a frown.

Jane glanced at the details. “It’s Molly Lamere’s 23rd birthday. Why the long face though?”

At that time, Leah happened to walk in.

Gordon shot a glance at Leah and pointed at her. “Molly says she’s a good friend of Sarah

and wants Sarah to attend.”

“Nonsense. I know Molly treats Sarah like an enemy. Why is she claiming the opposite this

time?” Jane said worriedly.

Leah could hear their conversation. She was surprised that Molly specifically wanted her to

attend.

Could Molly have thought up some new way to torment Leah?

“What choice do we have? Molly is Jackson’s princess, and we can’t afford to offend

Jackson because our company has two projects with Jackson,” Gordon said with a sigh.

“Sorry for troubling you, Sarah,” Jane said while looking at Leah worriedly.

“Don’t worry,” Leah said.

After all, Molly had always found ways to torment Leah. Leah could not hide from her

forever.

The next day, Jane brought Leah and Sasha to attend Molly’s birthday party.

Before they went inside, Jane nagged at Sasha again, “Keep a close eye on your sister.

Don’t let anyone bully her.”

Sasha pouted when she heard that. I hope she gets bullied!

Even so, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone lay a finger on her.”

After they stepped inside the banquet hall, Leah made a beeline to the sofa in the corner

and sat down.

That had always been what she did whenever she attended parties with Han. Han ignored

her and let her be.

Standing for too long made her feet sore, so she found places to sit down and rest.

Over many parties, that had become a habit. After all, she had no friends to meet.

On the other hand, Sasha found her circle of friends as soon as she stepped into the

banquet hall. She had forgotten everything that Jane told her.

Some time later, Molly finally appeared. Behind her was… Shyanne.

Leah’s face stiffened when she saw Shyanne.

Back when she was with the Howard family, Shyanne was the only one close to her. For

some time, Leah thought that Shyanne admired her.

Now, she realized that Shyanne was not only nice to her.

Shyanne whispered something into Molly’s ear, and the two women walked toward where

Leah was sitting.

“Hey, isn’t this Ms. White? Why are you sitting here all alone?” Molly smirked and said

sarcastically.

Leah did not say a word. She cast her gaze down and looked at her feet.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you mute?” Molly asked coldly.

Leah lifted her head and looked at Molly impassively. “Ms. Lamere, don’t you have

anything better to do than humiliate me?”

A hint of anger flashed past Molly’s face.

“How dare you talk to me like that?”

“I’m talking to you the same way you talk to me,” Leah said tactfully, trying not to criticize

Molly’s character.

Molly’s face turned red. She was about to lay it on Leah when a cold voice rang out from

behind her.

“What are you doing here?”

A shadow cast down on Leah. She lifted her head and saw Han’s frigid eyes.

“Han!” Molly turned around and smiled charmingly. “I’m here to say hi to Ms. White. Isn’t

that so, Ms. White?”

Molly turned her head and glared at Leah threateningly.

However, Leah was not intimidated at all.

“That’s not so,” she replied impassively.

She pointed a finger at Molly and said, “Your fiancée was humiliating me earlier, Mr.

Howard. I hope you can rein her in.”

She emphasized the word “fiancée” a lot.

Han frowned as he looked at Leah. He wanted to say something but stopped when he

heard a set of footsteps behind him.

“You’re here, Sarah. I’ve been looking for you.”

It was Ian.

Ian jogged over and draped his arm over Leah’s shoulder. “Let me introduce you to some

of my friends.”

Then, he turned his head and looked at Han. “Pardon the interruption, Mr. Howard.”

Han frowned imperceptibly when his gaze shifted toward Ian’s arm on Leah’s shoulder.

Why does that arm look so… offensive? I want to chop it off.

“Thanks for helping me out,” Leah said to Ian.

“Don’t mention it. I didn’t mean to touch you,” Ian said apologetically.

“It’s fine,” Leah said with a smile.

A woman ran past them with a wine glass in her hand. She tripped and emptied the

contents of the glass on Leah!

“Ah! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it. I nearly sprained my foot!” the woman apologized

hastily.

Seeing how apologetic the woman was, Leah did not think she did it on purpose. “It’s

fine,” she said.

“I’ll clean it up for you in the washroom,” the woman said.

Leah thought for a while and nodded. “Wait for me for a bit,” she said to Ian.

Then, she followed the woman to the washroom.

After Leah turned and walked away, the apologetic woman smiled smugly. She gestured

an “OK” sign toward Molly behind her back.

In the washroom, Leah was washing off the red wine stains.

The woman walked in and said, “Let me help you.”

“It’s okay, I can do this myself…” Leah shook her head. Before she could finish her

sentence, she felt a sharp pain on her bare neck.

She shoved the woman away and took two steps back while rubbing her neck.

The smiling woman looked like she was possessed by someone else. She held a syringe in

her hand, and it was still dripping.

“What did you inject me with?” Leah frowned as she felt the stabbing pain in her neck.

“What did I inject? … Penicillin, of course!”

The woman did not speak. Someone else had spoken that line instead.

Leah turned her head around, and her eyes widened!
