Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 11

Upon seeing her startled, the man smiled happily and let out a puff of smoke. As if he thought that she had not suffered enough, he continued to rub salt on her wounds. “You’re not afraid of death, but you feel humiliated over a small matter? Also, you better watch your mouth. If you dare to speak nonsense, I have a thousand ways to punish you. Consider yourself warned.” Leah stared blankly at his back as he left the room. She could no longer hold her tears back and they fell one after another. Even if she did not want to attend the banquet, she would be taken there by force three days later. Leah stood blankly in the corner of the banquet. There was a constant stream of laughter and joy around her, but she was the only one who did not fit in. “Hey everyone, the bride and groom are here!” No one knew who shouted. All of them looked toward the entrance and saw Molly enter holding Han’s arm. It was just an engagement banquet, but it felt like a wedding reception. Leah’s eyes were fixed on the handsome man in fancy clothes. Han noticed that Leah was standing there for a long time, so he looked her in the eye. Leah turned away as soon as their eyes met. She did not want anyone to know about her presence, but she could not find any peace. “Ms. Murray!” Molly walked toward her quickly, dragging Leah under the spotlight. “Are you feeling better now? Thank you for attending my engagement banquet.” There was an unfamiliar face, which attracted quite some attention. Soon, a celebrity asked, “Who is she?” Molly smiled. “This is Ms. Leah Murray. I met her in the psychiatric hospital.” When everyone heard that she was from a psychiatric hospital, they assumed that Leah was mentally ill. Leah noticed that everyone looked at her with contempt. A celebrity sneered, “Ms. Lamere, what were you doing in that wretched place? How unlucky.” Molly smiled embarrassedly. “I’m ashamed to say, I heard some rumors, so I went there out of curiosity. Turns out it was a misunderstanding.” She made it as though she was talking about something that was not a big deal. However, everyone understood the implications behind those words. “Oh, so she’s that delusional lunatic.” “Why would you want to be friends with that low-life? It’s disgusting.” “Yeah, she shouldn’t have come. The disgusting creature had soiled the place.” Leah was expressionless the whole time while the others mocked and pointed at her. Leah knew that she would have a hard time that day. Molly had always been rude to her, so what kindness did she expect from her to be invited to attend her banquet? However, what made her feel bad was not Molly at all. After all, Molly was insignificant to her. Han was the one who made

Leah feel bad. Han knew very well that this was a feast for the family, yet he deliberately asked her to be humiliated. Han had been indifferent and turned a blind eye to her humiliation on that occasion. He watched her being mocked by people and did not even have the slightest change in his expression.
