Chapter 99
Meeting Han’s cold gaze, Molly was stunned for a long time. She opened her lips but did not know what to say. It was the first time Han spoke to her with such a serious tone.
“Han, what’s wrong with you?” Molly mumbled.
Han, upon noticing her shocked expression, halted. He did not know what was wrong with him. Since he met Leah again, he had become somewhat unlike himself.
While he was in deep thought, someone knocked on the door suddenly. The two turned their heads together and saw Jackson smiling at the door. His gaze met Han’s as he said, “You’re awake.”
He walked over and glanced at his daughter. “If you don’t wake up, Molly will be worried to death.”
“Dad, what are you saying!” Molly blushed at his comments and glanced at Jackson shyly.
Jackson patted his daughter’s hand and continued, “Your mom is waiting for you outside. Go and find her.”
Hearing that, Molly halted. She looked hesitantly at Han but did not leave. She could tell that Jackson wanted to have a private talk with Han.
Of course, Han also knew it. He nodded solemnly to Molly.
“I’ll be right back, Dad. Don’t bully Han while I’m gone, okay?” Molly said. Jackson laughed and did not reply.
After Molly left, he walked up to the bed and took some documents from a bag with a smile on his face. The next second, he changed his expression and threw them all onto Han.
“How dare you?” There was a hint of anger behind his voice.
Ham was expressionless. Though feeling angry, he did not say anything and silently picked up the documents. He had already expected the purpose of Jackson’s visit.
Glaring at Han, who did not explain himself, made Jackson become angrier. He lowered his voice and asked, “Tell me, Han. Why did you transfer the agreement to Shawn?”
Han paused and raised his head slowly. “There’s no special reason behind it. He wanted it, so I gave it to him.”
“This is ridiculous!”Jackson pointed at his nose fiercely as though he wanted to eat him alive. “I’m helping you out only because of my daughter. Otherwise, who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to transfer the agreement to Shawn?”
“The transfer is done. There’s no point in saying anything,” Han replied impassively. In any case, the agreement did very little to stop him from crushing Shawn. He did not take Shawn as his opponent seriously.
Han did not even remember that to obtain the developmental rights, he played along with Molly.
“I believe there must be a reason behind this.” After calming himself down, looked at Han suspiciously and asked, “What the hell is going on?”
His intuition told him that the reason Han would suddenly transfer the developmental rights to Shawn would be related to Han’s injury.
Han stared back at him nonchalantly. His gaze sent a chill down Jackson’s spine, which also reminded the latter of the first time they met.
At that time, Jackson was already a big shot in Linkville. Han, on the other hand, was merely a businessman. The difference in status between the two was vast.
However, when they exchanged glances, Han did not seem impressed. In fact, there was even a hint of pride in his expression. At first glance, Jackson admired the man in front of him. From his eyes, he saw the same ambition as himself.
Jackson was disappointed that Han gave up the developmental rights.
Whatever reason it was, he could not be forgiven.
“I’ll take care of this matter myself, “Han said after a short silence.
Jackson’s thoughts were pulled back by his icy words. He sneered, a stark contrast from his gentle expression when he talked to Molly earlier.
“No matter what you do, you can’t hurt Molly,” Jackson said coldly. “You should know that I can give you everything, and I can make you lose everything.”
Han’s expression darkened when he heard that.
Two days later, Jane knocked on the door of Leah’s room. Leah has not been out much for these two days. She did not know how to do business or manage a company. Ian was handling the mess of the White family while she was thinking about other things.
“Sarah, are you awake?”Jane asked softly.
Putting away the stack of paper on the table, Leah opened the door and asked back, “What’s the matter, Mom?”
Jane looked at her and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Han has been hospitalized for two days. I plan to go to the hospital to visit him. Do you want to go along?”
Leah paused. She remembered his incredulous look when she plunged the dagger into his body. An awkward feeling rose in her heart. She replied, “I won’t go. You can go visit him on your own.”
After hearing her reply, Jane nodded her head. “Alright.”
After she left, Leah took out the stack of paper again. On every piece of paper, there were similar jewelry designs sketched on them. After comparing the designs, she finally picked one design that she was most satisfied with.
This is it, she thought. Leah brought a transparent folder, carefully put the piece of paper into it, and left the room with the folder.
Leah arrived at the company building by taxi. She raised her head and looked at the newly-opened company with hesitation. A moment later, she mustered her courage and strode into the company.
Although the company was small, it was elegantly decorated, showing its owner’s remarkable taste in design. At the front desk, there was only a young woman eating a popsicle while reading a magazine.
“Hello, I’m the person who made an appointment with Mr. Xavier last night. I’m Sarah White.” Leah said politely.
The girl lifted her head, glanced at Leah, and smiled brightly. “You’re beautiful.”
Leah, stunned by her sudden compliment, replied, “Thank you.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
The young woman put the magazine away, held her chin up, and said, “Our boss is in a meeting. Please wait for a while.”
“Sure, no problem.” Leah shook her head and accidentally noticed the magazine in the receptionist’s hand.
It was a very well-known international magazine about jewelry design. The current page was page 14, where a pair of bracelets was printed on the entire page. The name of the bracelet was “Radiant Star”. The two bracelets were engraved with complicated antique designs and were eye-catching.
Noticing Leah’s gaze was fixed on the magazine, the girl smiled and asked, “Do you like this too? I heard that the designer is only twenty years old.”
