Chapter 465 Lost Contact

Only the crackling of firewood could be heard in the room. The two similar calls Leah and Han had had

worried them. They immediately took their private jet back to their home. Before boarding, Leah called

Serena too. But no one picked up.

"She should be with Ben right now because she has a lunch date with him..." The disappearance of

Serena added to Leah's panic.

Could it be Ravensong's doing?

Han held Leah's hand to reassure her. "My men are looking for them now. I have dispatched extra

security forces to my villa as well. Carlotta will be safe. Don't worry."

Han tried to console Leah. As her boyfriend, he didn't want to see any hint of sadness on Leah’s face.

Leah felt safer when she was with Han, but she was still worried sick.

"I hope Susan can get back to us soon..."

Leah could see the logic behind Veyris's ban on Dream Designs. After all, Fetriybia was under Anna's

rule and she viewed Leah as her mortal enemy. But this Ravensong who came out from nowhere was

more mysterious. Leah decided to give Susan a call.

"Where are you, Sarah? I can't see you. Remember to get your trophy tomorrow. My hunch tells me

that you're the champion this year," said Susan enthusiastically.

But the design contest was the least of Leah's concerns now. "Ms. Victor, can you investigate

Ravensong for me? I'm going back right now because there are some issues back home. It might be

the Ravensong again."

After Leah told Susan what to do, she hung up.

Han gave Leah's silver bracelet a small yank. "Don't take this off. And don't fight Ravensong yourself.

I'm here."

"Okay."

It was already evening when they got home. The moment they opened the door, Carlotta ran to them.

"Daddy, Mommy. Finally, you're back. I was so scared..." Carlotta broke into small sobs.

"It's okay now. We're here." Leah caressed Carlotta's plump cheek. Tears welled up in Leah's eyes too

as she saw how frightened her daughter was.

Perhaps the presence of her parents allowed Carlotta to unleash her emotion. She wailed even louder,

"Why would someone hide on the tree and watch me draw? He even had a knife in his hand..."

Han was furious. He would never forgive those people.

"Daddy will go find the bad guy now. You'll stay with Mommy now, all right?"

"Okay," sniffled Carlotta.

Han passed Carlotta to Leah and headed to his study. Looking at Han's silhouette, Leah prayed that he

could locate Ben and Serena as soon as possible.

"Carlotta, when you saw the man, did he see you?" asked Leah as she brought Carlotta to her room.

Leah hoped Carlotta would say no. If the assassin knew Carlotta saw him, Carlotta would be the next

target. She did not want to involve Carlotta at all.

Carlotta was much calmer now. After some thinking, she answered,

"We looked at each other. He wanted to throw his knife at me but he was shot down by the people

under the tree."

Leah pulled Carlotta closer to her instinctively. Carlotta noticed them. So they would target Carlotta to

silence her too. Leah blanched.

"Are you all right, Mommy? Daddy will be here to protect me. I'll be fine." Noticing her mother's

unstable emotions, Carlotta tried to console her.

But that only made Leah feel worse. She had never given her daughter a proper and safe childhood.

Even during those two years she spent with Shawn.

"Yes, he will protect us." Leah squeezed out a smile.

Right. How could a mother cry before her child? Leah continued to pat Carlotta's back until the latter

fell asleep. It was still too early for dinner so she left Carlotta's room. It should be safe to do so anyway

as there were more security guards around the villa now. Besides, the assassins from Ravensong were

already taken out. Leah tried to call Serena again but she still got no response. She went to Han's

study.

"Any news about Ben and Serena?" inquired Leah worriedly.

Han shook his head. "No. They were last seen near the river. Eyewitnesses claimed that two people fell

into the river. The police and my men searched the river to no avail."

Leah's eyes widened. "Serena and Ben were supposed to have lunch in a restaurant. Why would they

visit the river? Were they being hunted or something?"

If she hadn't persuaded Serena to go on that date, both of them would have been safe now. It was all

her fault. She was a jinx. She cut their lives short.

Han saw Leah's guilt-ridden face. He pulled her into his lap. "Don't overthink it. It's not your fault at all.

Ravensong will target them sooner or later."

At night, the visibility took a nosedive, making the search even more challenging.

Inside a smelly sewage pipe hid Ben and Serena. Ben only breathed a sigh of relief when he could no

longer hear anything outside.

"We're safe now, Ms. Coleman. I don't think the assassins are here anymore. Is your phone working? I

need to contact my boss. Otherwise, they will return to hunt us down again."

Serena took out her drenched phone. "It's a goner. We were in the river for far too long."

The darkness in the sewage pipe filled her with dread. Was this the end for Ben and her?
