Chapter 434 Planning Ahead
The rain pelted down heavily on the windshield. Anna was soaked to the bone, not a modicum of
regalness left on her. She pounded on Han's car window desperately.
"You can't leave me like this, Ethan. You can’t abandon me because of that wrench! You promised me
that you would marry me. You can't take that back!"
Her shrill voice penetrated through the car window. Ben tried to go another way but Anna kept blocking
the car. Unable to do anything, the car could only stay in the same spot.
"Just drive, Ben," commanded Han, irked.
The Lancasters and their country no longer had any value. He did not need to play pretend anymore.
Ben was aghast at his superior's ruthless demand. "Boss... I haven't killed anyone before. Perhaps you
can ask those mercenaries from Umbra Syndicate..."
"Can't you swerve into the grass patch next to us and drive past her?"
Han was irritated. When did he say that Ben should run Anna over?
Oh, so that's what Boss wants.
Ben had an epiphany.
Still, anyone would agree with him that Han looked like he was ready to tear the woman apart.
Executing Han's orders, Ben bypassed Anna easily by skidding on the grass patch. Deep down, he felt
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsorry for Anna. She devoted her love to someone as aloof as Mr. Han. It seemed like her love was
destined to be non-reciprocal. But not for Ms. White. Mr. Han always made an exception for Ms. White.
Anna fell on the ground when the sports car zoomed past her. She covered her grieving face, allowing
the coldness from the rain to seep through her soul.
"Ethan, you won't notice me as long as Sarah exists, will you?"
Shawn and she had a deal. Once they executed their plan, they would each do their best to keep the
one they loved by their side. But Anna now knew that no matter what she did, Ethan would never look
at her. Sarah had to die, even though Shawn wanted Sarah.
But before she could do anything, her father came with bad news.
"Nana, let's head back. Kendrick Group has cost us billions in damages. The rich people of Fetriybia
are fleeing. If we don't contain the crisis, the entire nation will go down."
"No, this can't be real." Anna shook her head incredulously. "Ethan loves me. He isn't going to ruin our
nation like this."
She refused to acknowledge the truth.
Owen could only sigh at his daughter's unhealthy obsession. "Give up already. He only loves Sarah.
Haven't you seen the news? He is Hendrik, the Hendrik who is rumored to be madly in love with
Sarah."
Anna stood still in the rain. Even then, she wanted to hear it from Ethan. She refused to believe those
online rumors. He wasn't the Hendrik who was madly in love with Sarah. He was the Ethan who would
marry her.
Later in the evening, the rain stopped, lending an earthy scent to everything.
Leah finally mustered enough courage to bid farewell to Carlotta. "Take care of yourself, baby girl. Get
well soon."
Carlotta held back her tears and shot a bright smile. "Come join me as soon as possible once you're
done, Mommy. Bring Daddy too!"
After that wonderful discovery she had today, Carlotta was over the moon because her parents made
up. Speaking of reconciliation, Leah still couldn't believe that Han and she worked out a plan together,
when the Han she knew was always a snarky person. She didn't expect Hendrik's level of patience
from Han. Wait. Han was Hendrik. Gosh!
After telling both Carlotta and Serena not to tell anyone about her meeting with Han today, Leah left
Dream Designs. Shawn was already waiting outside. His stoic face broke into a grin when he saw her.
"Do you feel better now, Sarah?"
"Much better. How is work so far?"
Leah's concern made Shawn's day, but that delight soon disappeared when he recalled how Kendrick
Group had been giving him so much trouble lately. However, Shawn had to remain civilized before
Leah.
"Same old. The revelation of Hendrik's identity didn't even stop Kendrick Group's advance."
"So you already knew that Hendrik is Han?" Leah just knew the right question to ask.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn shook his head. "No, I didn't. Jackson was the one who found out."
Of course, Shawn knew better than to tell Sarah the truth. He didn't want Sarah to think that he was a
liar. Although he did lie to her.
Back in Ford mansion.
"Sarah, I'm sure Lucy will be fine. Get some sleep tonight."
Leah did not like the coldness from Shawn. She stopped Shawn before he could leave.
"Where are you going?"
"To expedite my plan," sniggered Shawn. "If I do not retaliate, Kendrick Group will do my company in.
Therefore, I'll advance the plan. Tomorrow is the release day."
Leah felt like she just fell into an icy pond. By release, he meant releasing the virus?
"Didn't you say you would show me the lab tomorrow?" Leah pretended to be mad.
Shawn was taken aback. He did forget that promise. Noticing Leah's disgruntlement, Shawn turned to
her and clasped her hands.
"The project will be at full throttle tomorrow. The lab will become a dangerous place. We can visit it
tonight if you want," cajoled Shawn.
Leah didn't want Shawn to execute his plan this soon. Instead, she dragged Shawn upstairs. "That can
wait. You should get some rest now."
Leah needed to think fast now. One, she didn't know if Han was available now or not. Two, it just
rained. The reception in the lab might be affected. If Han's cufflink couldn't pick up anything, her trip to
the lab would be in vain!
