Chapter 420 Mind Your Own Business
The lighting in the hotel was focused on Han, making him look as noble as ever.
“That’s Mr. Howard, right? Oh my god, I finally got to see him. He is more handsome than imagined.”
“He is not just Mr. Howard, he’s Ethan. The 100-billion-dollar investment magnate. He’s also the son-in- law of Fetriybia.”
“Didn’t the news report a while ago that he broke off his engagement with Princess Anna?”
“What do you know? It's normal for couples to have small fights.”
The voices made Leah withdraw her gaze and forced a smile toward Shawn, “I’m going to the washroom for a moment.”
Han’s presence was so strong that it affected her.
Shawn glanced at Han and held Leah’s hand, gently leading her to the washroom, “I’ll go with you.”
When the both of them left the crowd, there was another wave of envy with praises.
“Mr. Ford still loves Ms. White so much. I heard that there will be good news soon. They will be together finally.”
Han’s fist tightened. His piercing gaze followed Leah’s figure far away.
Leah walked step by step firmly with Shawn beside her. She could feel Han’s gaze, but she didn’t look back.
Her eyes showed determination. The most important task for now, is to win Shawn’s trust. For this reason, she must not show any emotions for Han in front of Shawn.
Shawn waited for her and he was not surprised when saw Han approach him.
“Mr. Howard, do you care that much about my fiancée? I can’t believe you came to the washroom for her.” Shawn smiled provocatively at Han.
He felt so content. Finally, he got to avenge himself.
In the past, he had only been able to watch Leah get closer to Han. However, the situation is reversed now. He couldn’t wait to hurt Han.
“You seem to be quite satisfied with something that I’ve used before?” Han smirked.
“You’re just someone who took over my position. Do you think a woman like her will really love someone?”
Leah heard the harsh words through the door. She was stunned when she was about to open the door and go out.
“Hah…” She lowered her head and scoffed. In his eyes, I’m always this type of person.
Shawn didn’t care about Han’s words at all. He thought of it as slandering because he couldn’t be together with Leah. Shawn chuckled, “Too many things happened in the two years you were away. I’m confident that Leah will spend the rest of her life with me.”
Han’s heart sank, “Is that so?”
Leah came out of the washroom without any expression, “Let’s go,” she said while ignoring Han.
Han grabbed her wrist and said, “You better know what you are doing now.”
Leah felt Shawn’s gaze on her and she quickly shook off Han’s hand, “Does what I do matter to you? We got divorced a few years back, didn’t we?”
“Mr. Howard, please mind your own business.”
What Leah said made Han furious, “What did you say?”
With the protection of Shawn, she was brave enough to challenge him now.
Leah smiled and repeated, “I said what I do is none of your business. Please don’t pester me anymore, Mr. Howard.”
“Or you’re still missing your ex-wife?”
The mocking smile made Han’s facial expression turn sullen, “You’re such a cheap woman trampling on yourself.”
The simple sentence instantly made Leah feel an ache in her heart. She knew that she was despicable for using other people's feelings, but she did not regret it.
“I don’t know since when choosing a person I truly want to be together with is trampling on myself,” Leah said with a smile. “Mr. Howard, you really need to mind your own business.”
“Did you think that you have the power and authority and all the women must submit to you?”
Leah’s voice was soft but it was harsh. Her mocking gaze made his heart ache too.
Han kept silent and stared at her for a moment before turning away.
Shawn witnessed the whole situation with happiness that can’t be hidden.
He laughed out loud and put his arms around Leah’s shoulders. “Leah, you made him speechless. Aren’t you afraid of him seeking revenge on you?”
Bringing Leah to this banquet was the right decision. He thought that she still loved Han and only be together with him because she was forced. Now it seemed that it was not the case.
Leah held back the disgusting feeling when Shawn put his arms around her waist and said, “I have you to protect me now.”
Shawn couldn’t hide his happiness and kissed her forehead. “You’re right. I’ll protect you. As long as my plan succeeds, no one can stop me anymore…”
Watching the two figures walk far away, Han retracted his gaze.
Leah seemed to have suddenly distanced herself overnight, but he could not find the reason.
What happened after she was kidnapped by Shawn that day?
The banquet was over.
Leah and Shawn returned to the Ford mansion. Two rows of maids greeted them.
“Mr. Ford, do you need us to prepare a late-night snack for you and Mrs. Ford?
Shawn looked at Leah who hadn’t eaten anything at the banquet and nodded, “Something light would be good.”
The maids left to do their chores.
Lucy came forward and told Leah respectfully, “Ms. White, Ms. Coleman came over this evening. She is resting in the guest room now. She wants you to meet her when you come back.”
Leah was stunned and looked at Shawn, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Her obedient manner made Shawn’s mood better, “Go ahead, you haven't seen each other for a long time,” he said.
Leah went to the guest room and woke up Serena who was dozing away on the sofa.
Serena woke up and asked seriously, “Sarah, are you planning to marry him?”
