Chapter 410 A Plan to Destroy the City

The night was dark as ink. The chilly autumn wind carried a drizzle with it as it relentlessly pounded the

windows. The dreamy glow from the city's neon lights was reflected by the crystal-clear raindrops as

they moved through the air.

Leah silently gazed at the night view outside the window. Her phone had shut down because the

battery had run out. She was avoiding Han. She needed some privacy to process her bad mood in the

office.

"Sarah," Shawn's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Leah was startled. She quickly turned around. There was a sadness that lingered in her eyes. She

wondered, "Why are you here?"

She was present in her office in the White Group. The security guards should have stopped him from

entering the building.

Shawn was satisfied with the surprise in her eyes. He smiled gently at her and said, "Sarah, there’s no

need to be surprised. I'm here to take you home."

On that rainy night, his smile seemed particularly horrifying. It caused Leah to feel a tightening in her

chest and unconsciously distance herself from him.

"I can go home by myself. You should leave," she said with a trembling voice and a pallid complexion.

Recently, Shawn had been acting strangely. Leah was unable to help but imagine the worst.

Her fear made Shawn all the more delighted. He strode forward, embracing her in his arms. Leah's

chin was held in Shawn's hand as he wrapped one arm around her waist. He forced Leah to look up at

him.

Leah exclaimed, "Let go of me!"

Leah was alarmed by the horrifying lust in Shawn's eyes. She made a valiant effort to free herself.

Despite Leah's attempt to break free, Shawn was able to stop her with ease. He lifted her chin and

pressed his lips against hers.

Leah was terribly sick from the smell of that strange male. Her eyes had begun to well up with tears,

and her vision was blurry. She said, "Let..."

This time, she could not finish her sentence and fainted out of the blue.

Shawn gazed intently at her pale face. He frowned slightly and murmured, "Sarah, are you resisting

me to this extent?"

Shawn thought she had fainted due to her rage. Leah was brought back to his villa after leaving White

Group.

Han arrived a step too late. His eyes darkened as he noticed the empty office. He coldly glanced at the

bodyguard leader, who was in charge of protecting Leah in secret. He commanded, "Get lost and

accept your punishment."

The bodyguard leader dared not say another word. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Boss!"

Ben pulled up the surveillance footage and said, "Boss, it was Shawn who took Ms. White away. He

was able to hold back our brothers who were covertly guarding Ms. White with a sizable number of

bodyguards."

Han's eyes turned icy and he said, "Bring her back."

Ben was in a difficult position, he said, "You just recently pretended to make up with Ms. Lancaster. Our

plan might not succeed if you meddle too much in Ms. White's affairs, right?"

The temperature in the office dropped to the freezing point as soon as these words were said. Han said

nothing but stared down coldly at Ben from above.

Ben felt like he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. The terrifying murderous intent made every

hair on his body stand on end. He finally gave in and said, "Alright, boss! I'll arrange for Ross to pose

as Mr. Hendrik and bring Ms. White home covertly so that Anna won't find out!"

The next morning, the sky was filled with drizzle. The cold raindrops fell from the eaves and leaves.

Leah was awakened by the dripping sound.

She breathed in the room's chilly air and started coughing hysterically.

Leah was familiar with this room. For two years, she had resided in the same room in the Ford family

villa. She covered her mouth uncomfortably and routinely used a tissue to wipe the blood away.

"Huff!" She leaned against the bed uncomfortably to catch her breath. She had to compromise with the

fact that Shawn had taken her back to this villa.

She rose silently from her bed, put on a jacket, and left the room. She made an effort to slow down as

she made her way to the staircase, where she overheard Shawn speaking to Jackson.

"I've assembled a research team. How are things going with your preparations?"

Jackson sneered, "I've been prepared for a while. The company has already been registered. If the

experiment is successful, we’ll make a fortune in less than six months. By then, the Ford Group will

trample Han underfoot while my family will reclaim our former glory!"

Shawn's evil smile grew uglier. He praised, "Excellent! The more gruesome the initial performance the

better. More fatalities would be ideal…"

Even though Leah had trouble following their conversation, the final sentence made her chest tighten.

A research that would result in mass murder?

She hastily returned to her room as soon as she saw that Shawn and Jackson had finished talking. She

unbuttoned her coat and pretended to sleep on the bed. However, her heart raced with anxiety.

What kind of scheme is Shawn hatching?

Leah could roughly estimate the severity of the situation based on the fact that many people would die.

"Rest well, Sarah. Stay with me through this. My accomplishment will undoubtedly surpass Hendrik's

once my plan is successful."

Leah's lips were being softly stroked by Shawn as he said to her. In the end, he leaves a light kiss on

Leah’s lips.

His footsteps gradually faded away. When Shawn walked out of the room, he shut the door behind him.

When Leah was certain that Shawn was gone, she got up and rushed to the bathroom. She wiped her

lips forcefully with water. Her clear and beautiful eyes were filled with disgust and panic.

He is working on a big plan! I must take advantage of this chance to do a thorough investigation. I have

to put a stop to this plan if it will cause many casualties.

Someone knocked on the door. It was Lucy, whom Lead had not seen in a long time.

Now that she had been reduced to a bag of bones, Lucy appeared much more frail and haggard.

Leah stared at Lucy. She felt pity for her, and she asked, "Why…why did you do this to yourself?"

Leah did not hate Lucy although she had repeatedly betrayed her. However, things could never go

back to the way they were.

Lucy quickly wiped away her tears. She spoke in a teary voice, "It's nothing, Ms. White. Please come

down to have your meal. Even though Mr. Ford won't return until the afternoon, he will worry if you don't

eat."

"Alright."

A look of disgust flashed through Leah's eyes as she heard Shawn's name. She would eat for her own

body's benefit, not because Shawn was concerned about her.

After breakfast, she asked Lucy for her phone, "Can you give me your phone? Carlotta would worry if

she didn't hear from me. I need to call her."

Lucy lowered her head and said, "I don't have your phone. Yesterday, after Mr. Shawn brought you

back, he threw your phone into the fireplace and burned it. Ms. White and Mr. Shawn have been moody

lately. Please try to accommodate his temper, otherwise…"

Leah frowned as she listened to Lucy’s advice. There was a bitter smile that revealed itself on her

cherry lips. She said, "Lucy, you're saying this because you want me to get along with Shawn, right?

Just like how you deceived me time and time again."

Lucy's complexion turned ghastly pale. She nearly lost her balance.

She apologized, "Ms. White, I'm truly sorry. I did betray you in the past. I had my reasons, but I don't

expect you to forgive me. This time, I genuinely have your best interests at heart. When Mr. Shawn

sees your relationship with Mr. Howard grows closer, his temper has become more and more grumpy.

Anyone who angers him ends up in the lab."

The lab?

Leah had a bad feeling about this. She asked, "What kind of experiment is he working on?"

As Lucy shook her head and fought back tears, she said, "Servants are not permitted to know. Mr.

Lamere and Mr. Ford are collaborating on a scheme that has the potential to completely demolish the

city."
