Chapter 88

“Sasha!” Leah turned around excitedly and grabbed Ian’s hand, “Sasha can prove my identity. Let’s goand replace her!”

Feeling Leah’s touch on his hand, Ian suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He looked at her and noddedseriously. “Okay.”

Charlie was dead. Sasha was their only hope.

Without waiting for his answer, Leah dragged Ian out. However, as soon as they wanted to leave, thecrowd automatically made way for them.

Puzzled, Leah heard light murmurings from the crowd.

“It’s Mr. Howard. He is with Ms. Lamere.”

“They are coming. They are such a perfect match. I’m so envious of them!”

When Leah heard Han’s name, she shivered instinctively and instantly loosened her grip on Ian’s hand.

Ian’s face immediately darkened. However, Leah did not notice it.

The crowd made way for Han and Molly, and soon, they appeared in front of Leah and Ian.

Han’s eyes were as cold as ice, and his features were like a piece of art. However, his eyes as dark asobsidian looked blank. He appeared like a king who despised everything, and it seemed that all thepeople around him instantly dimmed.

Han glanced at Leah and looked away as if she was a stranger. In fact, Leah was indeed a stranger tohim now.

“What happened?” Han asked, straight to the point.

The detectives recognized Han at once and quickly ingratiated after him. “A murderer trying to escape,fell down from the 16th floor and died.”

Upon hearing that, Han frowned. He felt ominous to see the dead.

However, Molly glared at Leah and asked the detectives deliberately, “Who? Whom did you say wasdead?”

The detective answered, “Charlie Parridge, who murdered Mr. White.”

“Ah!” Hearing that, Molly gasped. She covered her mouth with her hand and stared at Leah. “CharlieParridge! I remember him. He was Ms. White’s adoptive father. And Mr. White was Ms. White’sbiological father. TSK! TSK! TKS! Why both of them are dead? Is it a bad omen?” Molly sneered.Although her voice was not loud, everyone could hear her.

Leah’s face turned pale. She clenched her fists and bit her lip before taking a deep breath.

Ian stood up and wanted to argue with Molly, but was stopped by Leah.

“Never mind. Let her talk. Let’s go back to replace Sasha,” Leah whispered in Ian’s ear so that only Iancould hear her.

Looking at the intimacy between the two, Han felt a twitch of annoyance suddenly. Not only that, but healso felt a prickling pain in his heart especially when he heard of Charlie. In fact, he was gettingsuspicious.

Leah followed Ian and got in the car. After that, they headed back to the White residence.

Looking at the body covered with a white cloth on the ground, Han walked up to the detectives andasked, “What is it about?”

Seeing that Han was interested in the case, a hint of panic appeared in Molly’s eyes. She reached outher hand to grab Han’s. “Han, didn’t you say you want to choose the ring with me? Come on, let’s go.”

“Wait a minute,” Han said expressionlessly. “You can wait for me inside.”

Hearing that, Molly had no choice but to bite her lip and forced a smile. “It’s okay. I’ll stay with you.”

Although the detectives noticed that Molly was unhappy, they had no choice but to answer Han sincehe had asked. They told him what had happened between Charlie and Leah.

After hearing what the detectives said, Han frowned deeper.

“So that is to say Sarah is the real daughter of the White family. But Charlie replaced her with her owndaughter so that his daughter can live a good life?”

The detective shrugged his shoulders. “Yeah. But now Charlie is dead. No one can prove that Ms.White is Mr. White’s daughter. I have to say Ms. White is really unlucky.”

Nonetheless, Han felt tight in his chest when he heard that. Something flashed across his mind but hehad no time to think about it.

The forensic expert shook his head. “I don’t know what was the reason Charlie did that. To let his owndaughter live a good life? I don’t understand…” Soon, others chimed into the discussion.

Hearing that, Han’s fingers froze. He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes.

Leah and Ian arrived at the White residence.

The two of them got out of the car, opened the iron gate, and walked in. However, they found that therewas no one in the security booth at the gate. Normally, there would be security guards on duty.

Leah and Ian exchanged looks and thought something bad must have happened. The two ran into thehouse quickly.

As soon as they opened the door to the living room, they saw Jane on the floor.

“Mom!” Leah rushed to Jane in a hurry and held her in her arms.

Feeling the temperature and breath of Jane in her arms, Leah breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately,Jane was fine.

Ian carried Jane to the bedroom and examined her. About an hour later, Jane finally opened her eyesslowly.

“Sarah…” Jane wept as soon as she saw Leah.

Leah held Jane’s hand and said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Mom. I shouldn’t have left you alone in the house.”

“No, it’s not your fault at all. It’s all my fault. I was too weak, and that was why you had to suffer somuch.” Jane’s voice quivered as she held Leah’s hand.

Seeing that, Ian could not help but sigh. He walked over and asked, “Mrs. White, what happened? Whydid you faint in the living room? And, where is Sasha?”

Hearing that, Jane’s face darkened. She sighed and shook her head slowly. “I was reading on thecouch. Then Sasha came over and gave me a glass of water. I passed out after drinking it.”

Jane then looked up at Ian and Leah and asked, “Haven’t you guys seen Sasha? Is she okay?”

Leah and Ian looked at each other. They did not see Sasha in the living room.

Jane passed out because of Sasha, and no one knew where she had gone. Obviously, Sasha wasmissing.
