Chapter 31
“Sasha, why are you still awake?” Jane stood up hurriedly and wanted to wallk forward to Sasha. However, she suddenly thought of something and stopped.
A touch of sadness appeared on Sasha’s face. “Mom. No, I’m not your daughter anymore. Is it true that I’m really not your daughter?”
Hearing that, Gordon frowned. He knew Sasha very well. After all, they had been living together for almost ten years. Sasha was very smart, but she was only 12 years old at that time. She could not have deceived them. There must be some misunderstanding.
“Sasha, don’t worry. You’ll always be our daughter,” Gordon said gently.
However, Sasha shook her head in despair. “Dad, if she is your daughter, then who am I?”
Jane could not bear to see Sasha crying. In the ten years they lived together, they never scolded her, let alone allow her to cry. She turned to look at Gordon for help.
Gordon could not help but sigh. “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, you’ll always be our daughter. That will never change!”
Hearing that, Sasha drooped her eyelids to hide herglee.
With tears on her face, Sasha forced herself to smile. She stepped forward and held Jane’s arm. “I know you and Dad love me. Don’t worry. I will get along with Leah” Sasha deliberately stressed the words “get along” when she said that.
If it were in the past, Jane would be very happy to hear that. However, she felt uneasy for some reason.
After Sasha went back to her room, Jane was in a dilemma. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked at Gordon and asked, “Gordon, what do you mean just now? If Leah is our daughter, then Sasha”
“There’s no such coincidence in the world! Aren’t you curious why all that happened?” With a serious look on his face, Gordon interrupted. “No matter what, I have to find out who is really our daughter.”
“But the paternity test…”
“Anything could go wrong. You have seen it for yourself, right?”
“Mr. Howard, it’s already 3 o’clock in the morning. You better go home and take some rest”
Looking at the brightly lit CEO’s Office, Ben Wright, Han’s assistant, sighed as he opened the door.
Han flipped through the documents on the table. Without raising his head, he replied, “I still have to go through a few documents.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Ben wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He knew it was not because Han had not read the documents. It was because of Leah.
However, Ben did not dare to mention that. In fact, everyone in the office knew it was a taboo to mention Leah’s name in front of Han.
“Have they approved the two projects in the east suburb?” Han raised his head and asked. His gaze was as cold as the rain outside.
“Yes. Mr. Lewis handled them himself. By the way, he called you earlier this afternoon, but you’re not around, so I answered it for you,” Ben said.
“So what did he say?” Han asked.
“He said…” Ben hesitated for a moment. Finally, he braced himself and continued, “He said he can defeat you
anytime because he helped you to the position today. He also said Shawn Ford is back, and they’re keeping in touch
Bang!
Before Ben finished his words, Han swept all the documents on the table impatiently to the ground. His expression darkened with eyes full of anger.
Ben did not dare to say anything more. He crouched down silently and picked up the documents.
Han leaned against the back of the chair and looked out of the window. The rainy night was exactly the same as the night when Leah died. He remembered he had sent someone to check the body and confirmed that it was Leah. How could she die? He had not tortured her enough.
Suddenly, Han stood up from the chair.
Ben asked, “Mr. Howard, are you going back?”
“No. I’m going to Colors!”
Colors was the biggest nightclub in Linkville. Even at 3 a.m., it was still brightly lit
As soon as Han’s car stopped at the door, a waiter came up to greet him at once.
Han was a diamond member at Colors. Only one with high status and wealth could afford it. Nevertheless, Han seldom went there because every time he went there, countless people wanted to suck up to him. He preferred to have his own private room.
After entering the private room, Han ordered two bottles of red wine and lay down on the couch.
Not long after, the door of the private room was opened, and a waiter came in with four tall girls with delicate make–up. When the girls saw Han, their eyes lit up immediately. They quickly went to fawn on him.
“Mr. Howard, they are our new girls, about 22 years old on average. They are all beautiful college girls,” the waiter introduced.
Han lit a cigarette and took a drag. When he saw the girls with heavy makeup, he frowned slightly.
Ben was an observant man. When he saw that, he quickly replied to the waiter, “Mr. Howard is expecting someone. All of you can leave now.”
Hearing that, all the girls were disappointed. They got up reluctantly and went out of the room one by one.
Han took another drag on his cigarette and leaned against the couch.. He was lying on the couch lazily whenl someone caught his attention.
“Wait,” Han suddenly said.
The waiter was pleasantly surprised. “Yes, Mr. Howard, what else can I do for you?”
Han pointed at the girl walking at the end of the queue and asked, “What’s your name?”
Ben followed Han’s gaze and saw a slender girl with black hair and ordinary look. She was stunned and was staring at the waiter blankly.
The waiter quickly pushed her back and said, “Answer Mr. Howard’s question.”
The girl was shoved two steps forward. When she met Han’s eyes, her face suddenly flushed.
“My… My name is Regina Simmons.“
“Regina?” Han pursed his lips and pointed at the couch beside him. “You stay.”
Hearing that, everyone was stunned. It never occurred to them that the ordinary–looking Regina would catch Han’s attention. Isn’t he weird? Does he prefer ordinary–looking girls instead? Everyone could not help but think.
However, only Ben remained silent. He knew at once when he saw Regina’s face. She resembled Leah a lot.
