Leah thought it was Molly or someone she had offended before. She did not expect it was Shawn.
Shawn was wearing a dark blue suit and looked perfectly nonnal. For a moment. Leah thought he had
recovered. It was not until she saw the glitter in his eyes that she realized he was still Shawny.
“Sarah! I didn’t expect to meet you here. That old man didn't lie to me!” Shawn was excited. Even
though he tried to lowrer liis voice, he could not hide his excitement. For a moment, he even wranted to
go over and hold Leah’s hand.
However, Leah gave him a stem glare.
Immediately, Shawn withdrew liis hands. He wras a bit taken aback.
“Why are you here?” Leah frowned.
Judging from his gesture. Leah knew' Shawn was not frilly recovered yet.
Right then, Mr. Carling, Shawn’s butler came up.
He nodded at Leah and said, “Ms. White, I’m the one who brought Mr. Ford here. After all, people might
get suspicious if Mr. Ford doesn’t appear in public for a long time.”
Hearing that, Leah understood right awray. However, she still could not help but resist Shawn
subconsciously.
Thinking of what could have happened the other night, Leah still felt uncomfortable. At times, she even
felt difficult to breathe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeah tugged Ron’s sleeve, asking for help.
Seeing the worrying look in Leah’s eyes, Ron reached out liis hand and put liis arm around her
shoulder.
“She’s not feeling well. Please excuse us,” Ron said with a smile.
Hearing that, Shawn looked at Leah worriedly. He leaned forward and asked. “Sarah, are you okay?”
Leah took a step back at once and glared at Shawn coldly.
Immediately, Shawn’s face darkened.
Ron quickly took Leah and walked awray. It seemed that they deliberately kept a distance from Shawn.
Looking at Leah’s back, Shawn asked, ”Mr. Carling, do I look horrible?”
For a moment. Mr. Carling was silent. “No, sir,” he replied after a second.
"Then why did Sarah look at me as if she had seen a monster?” Shawn asked again. He looked
gloomy.
Mi\ Carling wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. In the end, he blurted, “Sir, you
don’t look like a monster at all. Don’t overthink and w’orried too much.”
Hearing that, Shawn clenched liis fist.
Sarah, you rather stay with Ron than me? You didn’t even take a look at me? Why? Is he better than
me?
On the other side. Han saw' Ron walking awray with Leah with liis aims on her shoulders.
Although Han refused to talk to Leah just now, he glanced in the direction of Leah unintentionally from
time to time.
At the sight of Han and Leah together, he could not help but grip the wine glass tightly.
Just then, Molly came out of the auction house. Instantly, the smile on her face disappeared.
At first, she w'anted to walk over to Han, but she suddenly turned around and walked toward Shawn
instead.
Shawn was alone as no one pay attention to him. After all, everyone’s focus wras on Han.
“Shawn!" Molly walked up to him with a smile.
However, Shawn blinked a few’ times, looking confused. “Who are you?” he asked.
Not many people knewr Shawm’s condition, but Molly knewr it. In fact, she had thoroughly investigated
what happened in Dawnville before.
“Shawm, I’m Molly, your cousin!” There was a glint of excitement in Molly’s eyes.
“Cousin? Wliat do you want fr om me?” Shawm asked, confused. He was not in the mood to talk.
Shawm had ahvays been arrogant. It was hard for one to imagine that he became like that.
Nonetheless. Molly did not doubt him at all. After all, it was hard for one to pretend like a seven-year-
old.
“You look unhappy. Wliat happened?” Molly coaxed as if she was talking to a kid.
Shawm was a smart man. He could see through Molly’s lies easily. However, he did not mean to reveal
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher yet. He pretended to be unhappy and said, “Because Sarah doesn’t like me.”
Sarah? It’s because of Sarah?
Molly could not help but flash an evil grin.
With that, she patted her leg and exclaimed. “I can make Sarah like you!”
Hearing that, Shawm could not help but sneer in his heart. He could see the wicked intention in Molly’s
eyes.
Nonetheless, he still smiled excitedly. “Really? How?”
Molly slowly picked up a piece of cake from the table and put it in Shawm's hand. “Sarah likes to eat
cake. If you give this to her, she will be very happy.”
Shawm had recovered. He was only pretending to be a 7-year-old now. How could he not see Molly
smear something on top of the cake when she passed it to him? How could she use him to hurt Leah?
Shawm could not help but snicker. He never thought Molly would use him. However, he was willing to
be used as he also wranted to take the opportunity to teach Leah a lesson. Nonetheless, he never
thought Molly would want to take Leah’s life.
“Really? Then I want to give this cake to Sarah. I’m sure she will like it.”
“Yeah, go ahead, and make sure she eats it.” Molly urged.
However, as soon as Molly turned around, she rolled her eyes and cursed in a low voice, “Wliat a dumb
man!”
