Leah could tell the woman hated her sister-in-law very much from the rude name she called Maria.
“But why does the man seem to trust Maria a lot?” asked Leah.
The woman threw the pumpkin seed shells in her hand onto the floor and rolled her eyes. “How would I
know? The man kept holding Maria’s hand after he woke up. He looked at her like she was his lover,
but he couldn’t tell what her name was if someone asked.”
Suddenly, the woman got closer to Leah. “My husband said the man must have mistaken Maria for
someone else. That’s why he trusts Maria. Haha… That dumb bitch thought she found her prince
charming. Doesn’t she know what she looks like? No handsome man would like her!”
Leah frowned.
Han mistaken Maria for someone else?
She tried to recall Maria’s face. It was indeed an ordinary face.
However, her eyes were bright, almost like Leah’s…
Suddenly, Leah’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
“Are you the man’s family? Are you his girlfriend?” The woman tried to dig more information from Leah,
hoping to find something amusing.
Leah shook her head. “No, I’m his assistant.”
“That man has an assistant?” The woman’s eyes lit up.
Not everyone has an assistant, let alone a beautiful assistant like her. This man must be very rich.
The woman suddenly realized she had found a way to be rich.

“Are you here to bring him back? Look, we have taken great care of him. Do you know how weak he
was when we rescued him from the sea? He was covered in wounds. He would have died if we did not
save his life!” said the woman.
Leah knew the woman’s intention.
So, she nodded. “Don’t worry. We’ll thank you with rewards. However, we have a problem. He doesn’t
want to leave with us. Can you ask Maria to talk to him?”
“Err…” The woman hesitated. “I want to help you, but Maria is a stubborn woman. She even threatened
us with her life to keep that man by her side. Of course, I want your reward, but I really can’t force
Maria. I would be in trouble too if anything happened to her.”
Leah’s eyes went dull.
“Alright.” She sighed.
Leah had to find the solution herself.
“Mr. Howard will definitely leave with you once his memory is recovered,” Roman comforted Leah after
he saw despair in Leah’s eyes.
“You are right, but what should we do to recover his memory? Unfortunately, there’s no specialist
doctor here.” Leah frowned. Sadness filled her eyes.
Suddenly, the woman’s eyes lit up. “I know a way. The man kept moaning a name that sounded like
‘Lee’. If we can find that person to help him remember things from the past, his memory will recover.”
Leah narrowed her eyes.
If Leah did not make a mistake, she was the person Han called when he was unconscious.
Leah was her name before she had plastic surgery. However, she can’t reconstruct her face to help
Han regain his memory.
Leah would try anything, even If there was only a tiny glimpse of hope.
After making up her mind, Leah’s eyes flashed with determination.
She nodded. “I’ve decided. Can I stay at your place for a few days? Don’t worry. I’ll pay you a reward
on top of all the expenses,” said Leah to the woman.
The woman’s eye sparkled with greed when she heard about the reward.
No one would decline a reward.
She quickly agreed. “Of course! You can even stay here forever!”
Roman frowned when he heard Leah’s words. “Are you sure? Perhaps we can discuss this with
someone from the company first.”
Leah shook her head in all seriousness. “Mr. Walker, please keep this a secret. I worry someone might
take advantage of Han’s condition and harm the company.”
Of course, Roman knew more about lies and tricks in the business world.
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret.” He promised.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Walker. I’ll stay here at the Dragon Village for a few days and try to recover
Han’s memory. If I failed, I might need you to send someone to bring him back by force.” Leah sighed.
Using force would be their last resort.
“Sure,” Roman agreed. Then, he glanced at Shawn. “How about him? What are you going to do with
him?”
Shawn saw Roman was looking at himself. He quickly grabbed onto Leah’s arm and would not let go.
“I’m not leaving you, Sarah!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah felt so helpless.
Shawn was trouble. After consideration, Leah decided to keep the trouble by her side to keep an eye
on it.
“It’s fine. Let him stay with me,” said Leah.
Shawn immediately bloomed with smiles. “Sarah, you are so nice to me!”
Roman did not say much since Leah had made her mind. He still had much work to do at the office.
Then, Roman drove back to the city.
After Roman left, Leah took out another one thousand dollars. “Please bring me to your place,” she told
the woman.
“Of course, of course,” said the woman eagerly. “How may I address you?”
“My name is Sarah White,” said Leah.
“Ms. White, please call me Anne,” said the woman.
“Sure,” said Leah flatly.
Leah did not worry Anne might plot something against her. After all, she was with Shawn. Even if
Shawn proved to be useless, Leah believed Han would not turn a blind eye to her.
Anne brought Leah and Shawn to a three stories brick house.
There were two men and a woman in the garden. The two men were weaving baskets with bamboo
strips while the woman sat beside them and looked at them in admiration.
More precisely, she was looking at Han.
“Honey, I’m back.” Anne brought Leah and Shawn into the garden.
One of the men looked up. He froze when he saw Leah and Shawn. “Who are they?” he asked.
