Leah told Ian of her plan, but he furrowed his eyebrows and disagreed. “Are you sure you
want to do that? It’s too dangerous.”
“Yes, that’s why I need your help.”Leah bit her lip. Determination flashed in her eyes.
Ian closed his eyes and sighed. He slowly extended his hand and grabbed Leah’s. Leah’s
face stiffened momentarily, but she did not push him away. She let him hold her hand, and
her gaze fell on her wrist, looking at the sandalwood bracelet that he gave her.
“Okay, I’ll do whatever you want,” Ian said firmly.
In the blink of an eye, it was Shyanne’s birthday. Both Leah and Ian attended it. In
Linkville, almost everyone knew Leah and Ian’s relationship. The couple attracted the
attention of many people as soon as they arrived at the party.
“Ms. White and Mr. Sanders look so great together! I heard that they’ve been good friends
since young.”
“I heard that it was the Sanders family supporting the White family during their hard
times. If I were Ms. White, I’d fall in love with him too.”
“Hey, now that you mention it, I think Ian actually looks pretty handsome.”
“What? I thought Han Howard was your idol!”
“Han is the cool and aloof type. Ian isn’t the same, so we can’t compare them.”
Meanwhile, Han was on the second floor looking down at the scene. In the hall, Leah wore
an elegant dress, looking graceful and eye-catching.
Since she left me, it looks like she’s been enjoying herself.

His gaze fell on Leah’s hand, which Ian was holding, and he squinted dangerously. How
dare that woman attend the party with that man she got engaged with? Isn’t she afraid
that I’ll do something to her?
“Han, what are you looking at?” Molly’s gentle voice was heard from behind him. She was
already pregnant for two months, and the baby bump was gradually showing. She wore a
fitting dress that emphasized her curves.
Han turned around and glanced at her stomach. “Don’t wander about when you’re
pregnant,” he said.
“It’s Shyanne’s birthday. I’m her sister-in-law, so I should at least wish her happy
birthday,” Molly said as she took Han’s arm and looked over the balcony. Leah is here, just
as planned.
“Alright, let’s go.”Han brought Molly downstairs.
After giving out a birthday speech, Shyanne turned to look at Leah. “Previously, I’ve hurt
Ms. White because of some misunderstanding. Here, let me toast Ms. White as my apology
to her.”
She stood in front of Leah and handed a glass of wine to her.
Leah hesitated for a moment but did not take it. She could tell from Shyanne’s expression
that Shyanne had spiked the drink with something.
“Why, Ms. White? Are you still bearing a grudge? Won’t you forgive me?” Shyanne lowered
her gaze and said pitifully. The people around them began to whisper.
Leah smiled reluctantly. “Why wouldn’t I?” She took the glass and drank it in front of
Shyanne, who watched eagerly.
Han, who was standing behind Shyanne, noticed that. He instinctively wanted to step
forward, but Molly stopped him. “Han, what are you doing?”
That’s right. What am I doing? She’s accompanied by Ian. Even if something happened to
her, it’s not my problem.
After drinking the wine, Leah secretly ate the fake death pill that Ryan gave her. She
walked to the side of the lounge with Ian, and said, “Ian, whatever happens later, don’t
panic. Or else, our plan will be exposed.”
Ian looked at her worriedly. “Can you really manage it?”
“Trust me. You have more important things to do,” Leah clenched his hand and gave him a
glass bottle secretly.
The drug that Shyanne put in the wine took its effect quickly. As soon as Leah excused
herself to the bathroom, moving away from everyone’s sight, she felt her head spinning.
Before she passed out, she felt someone throw a large burlap sack over her head.
Leah passed out quickly, yet she was quick to regain her consciousness. When she woke
up, she was sitting in a car. The car drove steadily heading toward somewhere.
Leah’s hands and feet were tied. She tried to act calm and asked, “Who are you? Where
are you taking me?”
Seeing that she was awake, the person sitting in the front passenger seat sneered. “Hey,
li’l miss! You woke up pretty fast. I wanted to give you an easy death, but now that you’re
awake, you can enjoy watching yourself die.”
Leah frowned and asked, “You guys want to kill me? Why don’t you just kill me then? Why
do you have to take me somewhere else? ”

man said excitedly, even sounding a little manic. “I’m sure you’ll love this interesting
game too!”
Leah had a bad feeling about it. Even though everything was going according to her plan,
she felt something beyond her expectations would happen.
Why didn’t Molly kill me directly? Why did she let someone kidnap me and take me
somewhere else? I wonder if Han knows I’m about to die.
The car finally stopped after some time. The man in the front passenger seat moved to
Leah’s side and rudely blindfolded her. “I can’t let you see where I’m taking you,” he said
excitedly.
After being blindfolded, Leah became more worried. Judging from the rough ride, the car
was driving on a bumpy road.
The car eventually stopped again. The two men got out of the car and talked about
something outside.
“Call him.”
“Where’s the other one? Did you tie her up?”
“Everything’s ready. We’ll have a good show.”
After a brief conversation, they opened the door. In an instant, a gust of cold wind pierced
Leah’s body. Leah, who wore a thin dress, subconsciously shivered from the cold. Her face
was drained of color.
The blindfold was rudely pulled off, and Leah was able to see again. She squinted her eyes
uncomfortably from the sudden light. Scanning around her surroundings, Leah noticed
that she was surrounded by mountains. In front of them was a gravel path, while behind
them was an imposing dark cliff. At the edge of the cliff, the wind roared and blew Leah’s
dress messily.
