Han was completely wet with tiny droplets of water slid down his forehead to the corner of his jaw. He
knelt down and was half a person shorter in front of Shawn.
Han had to raise his head to look at Shawn. His jaw tightened, and it seemed that his temperament
was colder than the temperature in the basement. Even if he was kneeling, he exuded a domineering
aura as if the person kneeling at the moment was not him, but Shawn instead.
Shawn’s eyes darkened. He hated Han’s arrogance the most. Han always made everyone feel inferior.
Shawn was the one who had the upper hand now, but why was Han still looking conceited? Thinking of
that, a furious look appeared on Shawn’s face. He was so exasperated that he wanted to rip Han apart.
Suddenly, Shawn lifted his leg and gave Han a kick. Han was caught off guard and fell down. However,
he quickly wiped the water on his face and looked up coldly.
Shawn gave Han a vicious smile. Seeing that, Leah could not help but think of him as a beast. An
ominous premonition rose in her heart.
The next second, Shawn said, “Well, Han. You care about this woman, right? All right, if that’s the case,
I’ll let you see how the woman that you loved getting tortured in front of you!”
Hearing that, Han struggled to get up. “How dare you!” he bawled.
However, Shawn kicked Han so hard that his leg was seriously injured. In addition, two strong men
stepped forward and held Han tightly. It was impossible for Han to get up at all.
Seeing that, the expression on Leah’s face suddenly changed. The damp black dress stuck on her
body, and one could roughly see her body curves. The strong men gasped and looked at Leah’s fair
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbody with evil thoughts.
“Shawn, how dare you!” Leah bit her lip and glared at Shawn.
However, Shawn sneered, ”You deserve it. Who asks you to keep messing with my plans?”
As Leah stepped back, she put her hands on her chest. However, how could she fight against such
strong men if they pounce on her together? Soon, one of the strong men came forward and grabbed
her leg before pulling her forward.
Rip!
Leah’s dress was ripped apart. “Let me go!” Leah struggled.
Seeing that, Han’s eyes turned red. He struggled violently. Soon, his suit was torn apart too.
However, Han did not care at all. His eyes were fixed on Leah.
Caught off guard, the two strong men were pushed down by Han finally. Without delay, Han stepped
forward and held Leah in his arms.
Shawn looked at them coldly, and his face gradually became ferocious. “TSK, TSK. You guys are really
affectionate. Well Han, since you want to protect the woman with your life, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Shawn then ordered the strong men, “Beat him to death first, and then we’ll deal with that woman later.”
As soon as Shawn finished speaking, the strong men’s faces turned hostile at once. They had borne
their anger for a long time. They stepped forward and tried to separate Han and Leah forcibly.
However, Han held Leah tightly in his arms.
Thud!
One of the strong men kicked Han in his chest. Han could not help and loosened his grip. However, he
got up and hugged Leah tightly again the next second. One punch after another was hit on Han’s body.
However, Han still held Leah tightly.
Leah raised her head. At that moment, Han was very close to her. It seemed that their lips were so
near that they could kiss each other.
Han’s face was so pale. Not only that, there was blood on his forehead. In fact, Han was in great pain
and had no choice but to close his eyes. Seeing him like that, Leah almost burst into tears.
“Let me go, Han!” Leah begged.
Han opened his eyes but his vision turned blurred.“No. I will never let you go.”
“You will die if you don’t let go of me!” Leah shook her head, crying.
Nonetheless, Han stared at her and said, “I… I’ll never let go of your hand again.”
Two years ago, Han let go of Leah’s hand on the edge of the cliff. Five years ago at the wedding, Han
let go of Leah’s hand, and he never saw her again. It seemed that in Han’s memory, he had never held
Leah’s hand tightly. This time, he won’t let go of her no matter what.
Tears welled up in Leah’s eyes.
Seeing her crying, Han frowned slightly. He raised his head and wiped her tears. “I’m sorry.”
Leah shook her head and sobbed. “No, you don’t have to apologize.”
Hearing that, Han sighed again. “I’m sorry. I always make you cry.”
“Don’t say that. You are Han Howard. How can you kneel down? How can you admit defeat? How can
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou apologize?” Leah exclaimed.
Confused, Han opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that, Leah panicked. She looked up at Shawn and pleaded, “Ask them to stop now. I can give
you anything you want. Please, tell them to stop!”
“Haha, Han, you are such a loser. You can’t even protect the woman you love!” Shawn sniggered.
Biting his lip, Han scowled. “I’ll kill you no matter what.”
Shawn was stunned hearing that. However, he still smiled contemptuously, “Let’s see if you can walk
out of here alive.” However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the basement.
Shawn’s expression darkened. Someone was here.
“Mr. Ford, Ron brought his men here,” someone reported from outside the basement.
Hearing that, Shawn’s face turned gloomy. He stared at Han and Leah. He could not help gritting his
teeth. After a long time, he said fiercely, “Kill him now and retreat as soon as possible.”
With that, Shawn left in a hurry, leaving the three strong men behind. The three strong guys knew Ron
was not easy to handle. They could not let Ron knew they had kidnapped Leah.
Thinking of that, one of the strong men took out a dagger from his pocket and said, “Kill her to save our
troubles!”
The other two nodded.
At that moment, Han had completely lost the ability to move.
One of the strong men pushed Han away and pointed the dagger at Leah. Leah raised her head and
was stupefied.
