Leah and Ian exchanged looks, and the two had a tacit agreement to keep it a secret.

They did not want to tell Jane about the disappearance of Sasha and the relationship

between Sasha and Charlie. After all, Jane had just lost Gordon. If she knew the truth

about Sasha, it would be a blow to her.

In the end, Leah could only tell Jane roughly what had happened these days. Although she

had tried her best to sound casual, Jane still felt sorry for what happened to her.

Tears streamed down Jane’s face. She held Leah’s hand and said, “I’m sorry that you had a

hard time. I’ve already known the real murderer from the news. I shouldn’t have blamed

you before. I’m sorry, Sarah…”

Jane felt sorry and held Leah’s hand tightly. Leah could not help but sigh. She did not

blame Jane at all.

“It’s okay, Mom. Look, I’m back. From now on, I’ll take good care of you,” Leah said

seriously.

Right then, Ian chimed in, “Yeah, Mrs. White, don’t worry. As long as I am here, I’ll try my

best to help you and Sarah in the future.”

Hearing that, Jane smiled weakly and replied, “You’re such a good man.”

“Thank you so much, Ian!” Leah also felt grateful for what Ian had done for them.

“Not at all. Mr. White was not around, and no one lead the company. I can’t let Sarah

handle such a big company alone. Mrs. White, Sarah, what are your plans for the future?”

Ian asked.

Hearing that, Jane could not help but shake her head. “I don’t know. The shareholders are

running the company now. But I’m afraid they are going to revolt after Gordon left. I

believe they will take advantage and probably carve up the whole company if no one

takes charge.”

Ian nodded after hearing that. In fact, that was exactly what he was worried about.

Jane had been in poor health since Leah went missing after falling into the water at the

age of 12. With that, she and Gordon did not have a second child.

As soon as Gordon passed away, the White family fell into a difficult situation. After all,

Jane was not involved in the company business at all.

“Don’t worry.” Leah bit her lip and clenched her fists. “I’ll learn how to run the company.”

“It takes time to learn. I’m so sorry, Leah. I really don’t want to pressure you,” Jane said

worriedly.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I want to help. Besides, this is my family too.” Leah shook her head.

Seeing that, Ian quickly suggested what was on his mind, “How about this? Let me teach

Sarah.”

Jane turned around and look at Ian gratefully. She was touched when Ian offered his help.

However, as soon as Jane turned to look at Leah, Leah lowered her head and did not

notice Ian’s gaze. Seeing that, Jane could not help but sigh.

“Sarah, can you get me a glass of water?” Jane asked.

Leah was stunned for a moment but then she realized Jane had something to talk with Ian

alone. She nodded and left.

After Leah left, Jane glanced at Ian and asked straightforwardly, “Ian, do you like Sarah?”

Ian pursed his lips. He hesitated for a moment and nodded shyly.

“I knew it!” Jane seemed to be relieved. “I know you like Sarah since you care so much

about her. You have never been so interested in Sasha before.”

“I always take Sasha as my sister,” Ian quickly explained.

Jane smiled. “I know. You are such a good child. I’ve watched you grow up, and I believe

you will take good care of Sarah and the company.”

Hearing that, Ian was surprised. He looked at Jane and tried to regain his composure. “Mrs.

White… What… What do you mean?”

“Well, the White family and the company are at the edge now. We really need someone to

be in charge. If you agree, I want you to marry Sarah, and by then, you can inherit and

take over the company officially. As a mother, I really want to do something to make up for

Sarah,” Jane said earnestly.

However, Ian hesitated. It was not because he did not like Leah, nor because he did not

want to take over the company… It was because…

“But, Sarah… What if she disagrees?” Ian wondered.

“Don’t worry about that. Sarah is an obedient girl. She will understand. As long as you

agree, I can arrange an engagement party for both of you,” said Jane. Although Jane

looked gentle, she was as decisive as Gordon in making decisions on certain matters.

Ian could not help looking into Jane’s eyes. After a while, he nodded and said, “Mrs. White.

I will not let you down. I will treat Sarah well and try my best to run the company.”

Leah, who was boiling water in the kitchen, had no idea at all. She did not know her

marriage was arranged by Jane.

Sasha was awakened by a basin of cold water. She felt sore all over her body as she

opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a pair of shiny leather shoes and a man in

straight trousers.

Sasha was shocked, and her memory gradually came back. She remembered Charlie

found her and gave her a bag of pills. Then, he ran away. She was then knocked by a rod

and passed out.

Where am I now? she wondered.

However, before Sasha could find her question, a clear voice came from above her head.

“Are you awake?”

Subconsciously, Sasha raised her head and met a pair of gentle eyes. The man’s eyes lit

up.

The man had a handsome face with a gentle temperament, but the smile on his face was

somewhat strange.

Sasha could not help but flinch back and asked, “Who… Who the hell are you? Why am I

here?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter,” the man said gently with a smile. “Let me show you something.”

After saying that, the man raised his hand. It was not until then that Sasha noticed that

there was a TV in the room. The TV turned on, and Sasha followed the man’s gaze to look

at it.

The reporter was covering the news of Charlie’s death.

Seeing Charlie, lying on the floor with a white cloth, Sasha suddenly felt a chill down her

spine.
