Chapter 221
Leah thought about what happened five years ago. At that time, she had just gotten married to Han.
However, not long after she married Han. Han met Molly at a party.
At that time, Leah did not know anyone at the party. Han did not even introduce her to his friends.
Leah was bored and went to take a walk by herself. However, when she came back to her table, she
saw Han talking with Molly happily.
The Howard Group was facing a downturn when Han took over the company. The shareholders wanted
to acquire the company.
Not only that, the competitors were trying to suppress the Howard Group too. It was difficult for Han to
face all that alone. During that time, he often slept in the company and got drunk every time he went to
business events.
However, it seemed that the Howard Group had a sharp upturn after the party where Han met Molly. In
a short time, Han got rid of most of the Howard Group’s competitors.
At that time, Leah thought Han was smart and scheming. However, what happened might have
something to do with Jackson.
Leah had mixed feelings.
“Hey, what’s on your mind?” Ron asked and waved his hand in front of Leah.
Hearing that, Leah came back to her senses. She shook her head immediately and replied. “Nothing...”
Ron then gave Leah's shoulder a nudge. “Look, the person you’re looking for is here.*’

As soon as Ron finished his words, Leah looked up at the entrance.
Suddenly, there was an uproar. Everyone looked at the entrance to see what happened.
It was Han and Molly. They walked into the hall together.
Wearing a black suit, Han gave off an overbearing aura. It was only when he talked to Molly that his
eyes softened.
Han had a perfect figure and a handsome face. For a moment, everyone’s attention fell on him.
Wherever he went, people could not take their eyes off him.
Only a few businessmen were invited to the charity auction and Han was one of them.
Leah pursed her lips and kept staring at Han.
Perhaps there was a connection between Han and Leah that Han suddenly raised his head and met
Leah’s eyes.
However. Han only stared at Leah coldly. In fact, he stared at her as if he did not know her at all.
“Han, what are you looking at?” Molly asked, noticing that Han suddenly stopped walking.
“Nothing,” Han replied and quickly looked away.
Nonetheless, Molly still sensed something wrong. She looked in the direction where Han was staring
just now. and her face darkened when she spotted Leah.
“It’s her again! I don’t remember Dad inviting her. Why is she following us?” Molly said, gritting her
teeth.
However. Han ignored Leah completely. “Don’t bother about her. Let’s go in.”
Hearing that, Molly was happy. However, she still gave Leah a defiant glare.
"Are you going over to talk to him now? But he seems not happy to see you.” Ron smirked.
“Let’s wait until the auction is over,” Leah replied.
Han’s arrival created an uproar. Everybody wanted to go over to greet him.
However. Jackson walked in right after that. With that, guests remained seated as the auction was
about to start.
Leah was not interested in items auctioned at the auction house. She glanced at Han from time to time,
making sure he did not leave at half-time.
Luckily, Han remained seated all the way. Except for bidding from time to time, he did not even leave
his seat.
Two hours passed, and the auction was soon over.
As the host, Jackson stayed back to check the remaining auction items when guests started to leave.
Leah waited in the lobby for a while before seeing Han walking out with a few people around him. She
did not see Molly by his side.
“Han!" Leah stopped him.
Hearing that, Han halted. He turned around and glanced at Leah expressionlessly. His eyes were cold
and emotionless.
However, more and more people surrounded Han. especially politicians. They wanted to fawn upon
Han when Jackson was not around.
After all, the Howard Group was the leading company in Pasteria. If those politicians could become the

Everyone could not help glaring at Leah when she walked up to Han.
“I have something to ask you. Can we talk?” asked Leah.
Hearing that, Han could not help but frown. “I don’t have time for...”
“Just give me five minutes.” Leah interrupted as she stretched out her right hand.
Nonetheless, Han still rejected her.
Leah could not help taking a deep breath. “But...”
“Ms. White, can’t you hear what Mr. Howard say just now? He doesn’t want to talk to you.”
“Yeah, stop interrupting us. We have something important to talk to Mr. Howard here.”
“That’s right. Mr. Howard doesn’t want to talk to you. Can you be more sensible and stop pestering
him? What kind of woman will do that?”
Everyone laughed with their eyes full of contempt.
Immediately, Leah’s face darkened. She could not help lowering her head.
"In that case, I’ll come to you after the party.” After saying that, Leah left without looking back.
There was a cocktail party after the auction. Many guests were invited to the party as well.
Seeing Leah’s back, Han frowned. He could not help but scowl.
"What's wrong? He doesn’t want to talk to you?” Ron asked.
Leah remained silent and picked up a glass of red wine.
“Don’t drink too much.” Ron took the glass from Leah. He was concerned.
“Don’t worry. I won’t get drunk.”
“Hey, I think you’re in trouble.” Ron gasped as he looked behind Leah.
