Chapter 332 No More Lies

Night had fallen by the time Serena found Leah by the river.

Night had fallen by the time Serena found Leah by the river.

The city's evening breeze brought with it the scent of merriment in the air.

Serena led her back to her car to sit her down. "What happened? Tell me."

Her worry had Leah giving her friend a look filled with despair. "Serena…"

"Tell me what happened to Alfred…"

Serena conveyed to her that Alfred was fine, but being told the opposite from Anna left her

overwhelmed.

She pressed Serena, hoping everything that Anna told her was a lie, but Serena had cried today. She

didn't know what was true.

Serena avoided Leah's expectant gaze, shocked by why she was suddenly asking about Alfred.

Neither Han nor her had told her the truth.

She took a deep breath and gently wiped away her tears. "What are you saying, Sarah? He's fine. Did

someone tell you otherwise?"

The smile on her face was a little too far-fetched. Leah shook her head in disappointment and avoided

her touch. "You don't have to lie to me anymore, Serena. I don't want to be kept in the dark for the rest

of my life…"

I'm so stupid. I should've noticed that Serena always seemed off whenever Alfred was brought up.

I didn't take it to heart because I assumed she didn't want to talk about Han and his men.

Insects lingered under the warm yellow street lamps, gradually disappearing as the rain fell.

Serena fell silent and looked down. "Why do you keep looking into this?"

"It would've been nice if you didn't know…"

If she never found out, she would've continued to live out the rest of her life in blissful ignorance.

Knowing her, being privy to the truth now would only make her lose herself. Her guilt would have her

live in the shadows for the rest of her life.

She gave Leah a suspicious look when she came to a sudden realization. "Who did you see today,

Sarah?"

It couldn't have been Han. He was the one who told her to not say a word to Leah.

There was only one person left who knew about Alfred…

"Anna," Leah said dazedly.

She knew Anna was telling her this to make her suffer but was thankful nonetheless for having

revealed the truth to her.

She couldn't naively carry on with her life as if she didn't have a human life weighing over her head.

Serena's eyes darkened. She was about to speak when Leah cut her off. "You've known since the day I

had you go to Han's villa to ask about it."

"You should've told me…"

Leah burst into tears.

Serena gently took her into her arms. "I'm sorry. I just didn't want to see you so upset."

She knew the truth would come out one day but failed to account for it happening so soon.

Anna was, without a doubt, out for Sarah!

What am I supposed to do now? If Han were here, what would he do?

Anna probably told him nothing.

Leah cried until she had no more tears left to cry.

Serena didn't feel good about seeing her so listless either and began to drive her back to her place.

"Carlotta will be sad if she sees you like this. Spend the night at my place. Take a good rest and I'll

drive you home tomorrow."

Leah said nothing and simply nodded.

Tears blurred her vision. The night rain was a haze to her muddled head.

Just after Serena helped Leah back to her home, some men in black in front of her door were taken

aback.

They shared a look before the leader made a call.

"Serena's back, Mr. Ford."

Shawn was displeased. "Do it then. Why are you calling me?"

Fools! If this idiocy continues, when is Sarah going to be back by my side?!

Serena was one of Sarah's friends. The helpless Sarah would definitely rely on her…

His men's next words had him freezing.

"Young Mrs. Ford is also here but she seems devastated. She looks as if she's been crying…"

Shawn fell silent. "Call the plan off. Come back."

The moment he cut the call off, he dialed Leah's number.

Leah wasn't in the mood to deal with him and switched off her phone.

Shawn was left flustered by the unanswered call. "What is happening with her…?"

He had no choice but to call Serena.

"What is going on with Sarah? Why isn't she answering my calls?!" He pretended not to know a thing

despite his anxiety.

Serena looked at Leah who was buried in the sofa with a complicated expression and told him the

truth.

"Sarah was the target of an assassination a month ago. Alfred died saving her. I tried to keep it a secret

but Anna told her the truth."

"She's really depressed right now. I'm concerned that she might do something stupid. Why don't you

come by my place so you can talk to her?"

He was initially taken aback by her question but a grin spread across his face.

"Alright. I'll drop by. Give me your address…"

He had wanted to use Serena to get Sarah to rely on him. To think that opportunity would get delivered

to him on a silver platter…

It didn't take Serena long to send him her address.

He was there within twenty minutes to find Leah laying on the couch.

The her now was nothing but a broken and lifeless doll.

Her stunning features were overcast by sadness.

He was filled with anticipation with every step he took, hoping to restore the equilibrium between the

two of them through this incident.

That was until he saw her. The sight of this left him feeling heartache for her.

He knelt down beside Leah and held her freezing hands in his. "You still have me, Sarah. Everything is

going to get better."

This time, Leah didn't push him away.

It didn't matter what he told her. She remained unmoved.

Seeing him patiently comforting Leah, Serena simply greeted him. "Please look after her. The studio

finally received an order. The deadline for the first draft is approaching. I need to submit the draft."

"Otherwise, the studio that Sarah worked so hard to set up will probably face a massive loss..."

Shawn nodded. "Go ahead."

After Serena left, his gaze turned back to Leah, tender and loving.

"I won't let anything like this happen again, Sarah. I'll protect you, Carlotta, and your friend."

Carlotta's name seemed to rekindle some light in her eyes.

She looked at him and prayed despondently, "I know I'm being selfish but…please protect Carlotta…"
