Chapter 262 Facing Difficulties
Han paused his eating and avoided eye contact with Leah. He feared that he would soften his heart if
he looked at her.
He quickly finished the food in his bowl and put down his chopsticks, saying, "I'm full."
Before Leah could react, Han had left the kitchen in his wheelchair and returned to his room.
The door was closed again, and Leah, who had just hoped, became disappointed. She tidied the dining
table and comforted herself, "This is already a good start."
After a few days, he won't be so depressed anymore.
Inside the room, Han answered the phone call from Ben.
"Mr. Howard, are you okay?" Ben asked with concern.
Since Shawn took over the Howard Group, many of his subordinates, except for Ben and Alfred, had
defected.
But Han could not offer them anything now, let alone make a comeback.
"Yes," Han responded softly.
"I heard about what happened to the company. I will always follow you regardless of where you are,"
Ben said.
After being discharged from the hospital, Ben learned about what happened to the Howard Group.
Shawn's allies had also tried to recruit him, and many people in the company advised him not to follow
Han anymore. However, he refused all of them.
Han might always have a cold face, but he was still good to him.
Ben remembered when he first joined the company that his mother was seriously ill, and Han found out
by chance. Without hesitation, Han wrote him a check and found the best doctor for his mother.
"Mr. Howard, I will wait for you," Ben said.
Han's grip on his phone tightened. His eyes were deep and contemplative. He took a deep breath and

"Take good care of yourself and rest well. Alfred and I are both waiting for you," Ben said.
Ben did not allow Han to say anything and hung up the phone.
Han's heart sank as he watched the screen of his phone turn black. He lowered his head and remained
motionless in that position.
That night, Leah opened her computer and posted her resume on various job search platforms.
After paying the rent and Han's medical expenses, Leah had very little money left. She also needed to
save up for his rehabilitation costs in the future. She could not afford to be idle daily and needed to find
a job first.
Maybe due to the exhaustion from moving, Leah slept until it was bright outside. When she woke up,
milk and toast were already prepared on the table.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Leah's expression was complicated.
Han should prepare breakfast when he wakes up in the morning.
Leah resisted the urge to knock on his door. She took a note from her bag, wrote down that she would
go out for an interview in the morning, and then posted it on the refrigerator before leaving.
At the entrance of the Business Building, Leah found the studio on the 18th floor, according to the
information in the job advertisement.
She wore a black suit today, and the jeans perfectly outlined her leg shape. Her long hair was tied
behind her ears, making her look energetic.
Many people were being interviewed, and Leah drew the eighth number. She sat quietly on the bench,
waiting for her turn.
"Leah."
Upon hearing her name, Leah stood up with her documents.
"Good morning, interviewers."
As soon as Leah entered the room, she greeted the interviewers and handed them her previous design
drafts. After completing all this, she returned to her seat and sat down.
"These are my previous design drafts. You can take a look," Leah said to the interviewers.
The person across from her glanced at the signature on the design draft, then closed the file and said
coldly, "You have been eliminated."
Leah looked stunned. Although her design draft was not excellent, it was still innovative in the industry
and should not have been rejected at first glance. She calmed down her anxiety and asked, "May I
know why my elimination was?"
The person across from her sneered, "Do we have a reason that we must hire you in our company?"
"Security, get her out of here," the person across from her said.
Before Leah could react, the person had already called for security.
To avoid embarrassment, Leah apologized and left the office.
The road was crowded with traffic, and people passing by were chatting and laughing, but Leah hurried
with her head down. She looked at the time and realized she had to attend the following interview
within fifteen minutes.
As soon as she closed the car door, a pleasant ringtone from her phone started to play.
"Is this Leah? You don't need to come to the next interview," the voice on the phone said.
When Leah realized what had happened, she heard a busy tone on her phone.
The next call came in immediately. Without exception, they were telling Leah not to go to the interview.
Leah looked out the window, feeling depressed. She would be too foolish if she still did not understand
what had happened.
She had been maliciously blacklisted in the design industry, and it was obvious who had done it.
After sitting in the car awhile, Leah calmed down her emotions.
There was always a way out. She believed that Shawn could only control some of the design
community in Linkville.
Leah took a deep breath, planning to drive home, but she caught sight of several unfamiliar men
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstanding next to her car.
The leader of the men knocked on her car door, gesturing for her to roll down the window.
Leah's expression became serious as she tightened her grip on her phone, planning to call the police.
The man knocked on the car door again, showing a friendly smile indicating he would not harm Leah.
She then pressed the button to roll down the window, revealing a small gap.
"Ms. White, our boss, said today's incident is just the beginning. If you still don't understand, you will
encounter more difficulties in the future," the man said to Leah.
It took Leah a while to realize that the man was one of Shawn's subordinates. She was slightly shocked
and realized he was unwilling to let her and Han go and even knew their every move.
She tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her fingertips turning white. After regaining her
composure, the gloom on her face disappeared, replaced by a smile. "Go back and tell your boss that
evil will be punished," she said.
After speaking, Leah rolled up the car window and stepped on the gas pedal.
Despite being rejected multiple times in job interviews, Leah never gave up. In her free time, she
continued to send out resumes.
Soon, Leah received another call from the hospital, asking Han to return for a follow-up examination
and finalize the rehabilitation plan.
"Okay, we will be there on time tomorrow," Leah replied.
Leah thought she had nothing to do tomorrow, so she readily agreed.
Leah prepared the medical records the following day and planned to take Han to the hospital.
"After we finish at the hospital, let's go to the mall and do some shopping. It's been a long time since
we went shopping together," Leah suggested to Han.
Leah pushed the wheelchair while asking for Han's opinion.
Leah used to want Han to go shopping with her, but he was always too busy. Now, he finally had some
free time.
