Chapter 353 Desperate Cry for Help
Inside the bar, a terrifying scream erupted, sending patrons scrambling in terror.
Still, something didn't feel right to William, and that was when he suddenly discovered a tracking device
hidden inside Carlotta's pocket.
Leah choked out as she stared in disbelief at the GPS tracker in his hand, "So that's why. No wonder
Jaelynn has always been able to pinpoint our exact location..."
What gave Han the right to call herself ruthless?
It appeared that she needed to be even more ruthless at this point since it was obvious that he could
even hurt his own daughter.
William tossed the GPS tracker into a young man's pocket so he could take it with him and lead them
away from them. Only then did William feel relieved and exclaimed, "Ms. White, we'll leave once
Jaelynn and her people have been led away by the tracking device!"
They were currently hiding under the bar table, their figures concealed by the tablecloth.
"Who dares to stir up trouble in my turf?" Suddenly, a cold, hostile voice spoke up.
The strange-yet-familiar voice startled Leah. Then it hit her. It was Ron!
Her face lit up, and she wanted to get up and ask for his aid, but William stopped her. "Ms. White, don't
move. He is a bad person. We can't let him discover us..."
Leah recalled when she had asked Ron to help her save Han, but Ron had turned her down coldly.
The light in her eyes quickly faded, and she gave a silent nod.
Yes. I can't take any chances now since Carlotta is here too.
However, things frequently took a dramatic turn.
Ron found them. He yanked the tablecloth draping over the bar table open. He had a cold and
venomous look on his face as he sneered, "Let me see if any mice are hiding under here..."
He froze as soon as he saw Leah's familiar face.
Leah simply got to her feet and faced him with a complex expression now that she had been
discovered.

He was obviously the underworld's boss, so why did he still appear unhappy?
"You're the one they're looking for. It's just like the first time I met you. You're always being pursued,
and death is always looming over you." After some time, Ron suddenly started laughing mockingly.
"However, that is what you deserve. Get out of here quickly. You are not welcome here!"
His face was icy, and his harsh words made Leah's heart ache. She murmured, "If I leave now, they'll
definitely find out…"
"Please, I beg you. Please, for now, keep my daughter safe for the sake of our former friendship."
She was unconcerned about her own safety, but Carlotta and William must be kept safe.
When Ron heard her pleading, he sneered, "Former friendship? You were so cruel back then, and now
you want me to protect you and this little bastard child?"
"Get out of here before I lose it!"
He regarded Leah with contempt as if she were a frozen corpse.
Allowing them to leave his turf alive was already the most he could have done for her.
Leah gave him a long, thoughtful look, during which all the hope and despair in her heart vanished. She
clutched Carlotta in her arms and led William away without saying anything.
She cast a disappointed glance at him as she passed by.
Leah had a thin, straight back resembling a weed steadfastly standing against the swirling wind. She
was incredibly tenacious.
Ron stared blankly at her receding figure before angrily punching the countertop. Blood was trickling
down his palm.
What gives her the right to be disappointed in me?! What rights does she have?!
There were no pedestrians around when Leah and William stepped outside the bar.
As the autumn night grew cold, the wind blew against the trees, rustling the leaves.
William removed his coat and draped it over Carlotta, who was lightly dressed. "It's cold at night,
Carlotta. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all," Carlotta replied as she pulled the warm coat snugly around her, smiling sweetly. "Thank
you, Uncle William."
While they were talking, Jaelynn and her men, who hadn't gone far, returned and surrounded Leah and
her companions.
Numerous black gun muzzles were pointed at them. While William and the other two bodyguards
formed a human shield around Leah and Carlotta, Leah could only hold Carlotta in her arms with tears
in her eyes.
"Why? Not running away anymore? Go on, run!" From the side, Jaelynn's pleased voice could be
heard.
Leah was standing inside the circle, and Jaelynn cast a mocking glance at her. She then scoffed, "Sure
enough! You are nothing more than a vixen who was born to seduce men. How long did it take you to
seduce these men into willingly dying for you?"
"Tsk! What an amazing talent you have..."
Jaelynn calmly started her verbal assault because she was sure their deaths were warranted.
She enjoyed watching her victims break down before they died.
Leah's eyes were stinging, and her heart was hurting so much that she felt as if she were suffocating.
It was entirely due to her own actions. She had attempted to reclaim Carlotta from Han, which was the
catalyst for this tragedy.
Carlotta, who had been watching her expressions from her arms, could see that she was filled with
guilt. They all clicked when Carlotta remembered what she had previously said, and Carlotta could
guess what her current thoughts were.
Leah's face was held in her soft, small hands as she said, "You don't have to feel guilty, Mommy. That
evil woman would have killed me if you hadn't shown up today."
"You've kept me safe. You are my hero!"
Carlotta's words successfully consoled Leah. Leah smiled happily and said, "Yes, I did..."
Jaelynn gradually lost patience after observing that she had yet to break down.
"Do it…"
Before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden, intense burst of gunfire.

The bullets fired from the shadows caught Jaelynn's men off guard, and an entire group of people fell to
the ground instantly.
Leah couldn't even react to the abrupt turn of events that occurred directly before her.
The night was clearly visible due to the neon lights on the bar's sign, and a gust of bitterly cold wind
blew by.
A tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He exuded an extremely overpowering aura of killing
intent and had a fierce appearance.
Leah was so terrified that she immediately hugged Carlotta tightly and knelt down on the ground when
she realized it was Han as he approached, looking like a terrifying demon from hell. She begged,
"Please, I beg of you. Han Howard, do whatever you want to me, but don't kill Carlotta..."
There was no way out for her at this point. She was unable to do anything but cry and beg.
Carlotta tilted her head in confusion when she heard her words and inquired, "What are you talking
about, Mommy? Why would Daddy kill me?"
Han came to a halt by her side. Her slender frame trembled in the cold wind, pitiful and helpless, like an
abandoned puppy.
Finally, the pain in his heart melted the cold from his eyes. "Get up. Go home," he said, pulling her arm.
When Leah realized he had touched her, she immediately stood up in shock and struggled backward.
Her once radiant face was now filled with sadness and hopelessness. She repeated her earlier plea,
"Please, I beg of you. Don't kill Carlotta..."
Han had been incredibly irritated by how terrified she had become upon seeing him. He dragged her
forcibly into his car with a tense expression without saying anything else.
"Ms. White!" When William saw that she was being taken away against her will, he rushed forward to
save her but was quickly surrounded by Han's men.
Han sat in the backseat with Leah. "Since you all had protected them today, I'll let you all off," he said,
casting a cold look their way.
"Be ready to face the consequences if you decide to go after her."
