Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Why Did You Betray Me

The sun was a little low in the sky.

Shawn had a very dark and gloomy expression on his face.

Leah was shocked to her core. It was only the second day. She had never thought he would appear in the open so soon.

"Sarah, why did you betray me?" he asked, expressionless. Then, with his eyes growing darker, he continued, "Why are you living with Han again?"

He honestly didn't want to accept that truth.

However, her every action proved to him that everything she'd said before was merely a ruse to manipulate him.

"As long as you tell me your hands were forced, I'll forgive you, and we'll go ahead with the wedding."

Now that things had come to this, there was no point in telling Leah how much he loved her. His only goal was to find some resolution—for the things he had always wanted but were always lost on him.

He approached Leah slowly, his eyes gradually becoming ablaze.

He didn't want her heart any longer. All he wanted was her body.

Leah became nervous as his oppression loomed, but she was also filled with long-simmering

resentment.

"You really don't know why?" she said solemnly, meeting his gaze.

"From the moment you attacked Serena to how you injured Lucy, kidnapped me forcibly, and placed me under house arrest in your home. You can't possibly believe that all of those deeds combined will result in love, can you?!"

Leah showed no restraint when it came to the people she cared about who had suffered because of her.

"You had dragged so many people in with your so-called plan, breaking the law in the process!" she continued.

"So you knew it from the start! Sarah, here I am, thinking that you're so easily duped, just like a little bunny. I can only blame myself for my carelessness. I never imagined you'd be as cunning as a fox!" Shawn said after pausing and breaking into a twisted smile.

It turned out that she had known about his plans from the beginning, which explained why she had avoided him the entire time.

He should have seen it the moment her attitude toward him abruptly changed.

It was his own arrogance that brought him and the Ford Group down.

"Shawn, you need to apologize to those you've hurt." Leah's imposing demeanor was unmatched by

his despite her slightly shorter stature.

Shawn shook his head, and his smile morphed into one with murderous intent. He scoffed, "Apologize? In my dictionary, the word 'apology' does not exist. I will make up for what I lost a hundredfold!"

"Sarah, you are the most disobedient of the bunch. Let us begin with you!"

Leah immediately fled after noticing something seemed a little off with him while secretly resenting herself for leaving the house.

She had been the one warning Sarah and the others against going out yesterday, yet it was she who had made the mistake.

Han would definitely mock her again if he found out.

Leah had little physical stamina. After only a few steps, Shawn caught up to her and grabbed her shoulders.

"I love you so much, Sarah, but you betrayed me. Aren't you going to make it up to me?" His voice was chilling—so much so that it hurt her bones.

Leah knew she couldn't outrun him, so she gave up on escaping.

She turned around and mockingly smiled at Shawn as she said, "You keep saying you love me, but if you really think about it, what you truly love is yourself and the Ford Group."

"From the beginning, you have frequently used me and put me in a bind by thrusting me up on the

Internet for marketing purposes, causing me to be insulted online time and time again. Would someone who truly loved me put me online to be publicly criticized?"

Leah was not stupid. She could still tell what love was and what wasn't.

Aside from the Ford family, he had also been very nice to her. So she couldn't help but feel bad when she had to play the role of an undercover by his side.

"Sarah, you are right. I'm feeling very rotten and unfair right now. I must snatch you back from Han!"

Shawn grabbed her hand and was about to drag her to his car.

Leah desperately tried to free herself while holding her phone in the other hand to call the police.

However, the moment she took out her phone, Anna, who had just turned up, snatched it away.

"Enough! Shawn, where are you taking her?! If you can't successfully take her away, the plan calls for you to kill her!"

Leah's brows knitted together, and she became increasingly uneasy.

Shawn, it turned out, had come here for her life this time!

Shawn still looked like he couldn't bear the thought of killing her. Despite this, he let her go because of Anna's words. "Go to a place where no one is and tie her up there," he said.

"We'll just wait until Han takes the bait."

Leah had been abducted and was being held in an abandoned aquarium tank. Anna turned on the valve, and icy cold water continuously filled the tank.

"Whether Han comes or not, you won't make it out alive."

Anna smiled maliciously. Before leaving, Anna directed her subordinates to keep the aquarium's perimeter secure.

Shawn also gave her one last long look. He said, "I'm sorry, Sarah. I will marry you if there is another life after this one."

"No, I won't be with you in the next life, either," Leah sneered.

She could never love someone who had repeatedly hurt her friends and family!

Shawn strode away with a tense expression as a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Don't blame him, Sarah. He only wants to take back the Ford Group and crush Han.

He would do everything in his power to keep her from getting hurt this time while dealing with Han.

The aquarium fell silent after they had all left.

Leah was in a water tank, and the only sound was the sound of continuous water flowing into the tank and bringing with it bursts of icy mist.

Leah was feeling conflicted.

She didn't expect Han to come and save her. After all, all of his plans had now come to fruition.

Everything that was lost, as he said, was taken back one by one, with the Howard Group being reclaimed and the Ford Group being annexed.

He was in the spotlight now, so how could he be willing to take risks for someone as insignificant as herself?

She had been foolish enough to let herself be captured by Shawn and the others at such a critical juncture.

The water in the tank had reached her waist after twenty minutes, and the freezing temperature made her shiver.

She was gradually freezing out in the cold on this winter day. She was feeling very lightheaded as well.

Her mind kept replaying scenes from her time with Carlotta and Han.

She had been really happy the day they had gone to the amusement park together.

There were loud fighting sounds outside the aquarium just as she was losing consciousness.

The aquarium's door was soon pushed open forcefully.

As the bright light outside illuminated the dim aquarium, a tall, slender figure entered with the light

shining on his back.

Leah could barely make out the pair of eyes, which were cold and filled with murderous intent. Her heart began to pound violently.

Han actually showed up.

"Leah, you really didn't let me down. You're such a moron."

Han's face was ominous and menacing as he pulled her from the chilly water.

Leah didn't argue with him and sank weakly into his strong arms.

"What about you? Why did you come to my rescue... I'm already a worthless pawn..." Her voice was hoarse and weak.

Han's grip on her tightened abruptly, and he walked out with a sullen face, saying, "Think for yourself!"
