Begging For A Reconciliation

“Molly, you’re finally here! Where’s Han?” The guests in the corner booth cheered at Molly who arrived late.
Molly was decked out in the trendiest branded clothes. “Han just came back from Saint Ville and is handling the company’s
affairs right now. I called him a moment ago, he said he’ll come right after he’s done,” she said.
The women all let out a sigh.
“I envy you, Molly! Your fiancé is tall, handsome and rich!”
“I agree! He must’ve been busy with his company’s affairs, but he still took the time to join our gathering. How nice he must’ve
been to you!”
“How nice it would’ve been if I have a handsome and rich man who loves me as well,”
“I’m jealous of Han Howard instead! To be able to marry a beautiful and capable woman, such as Molly!”
Molly’s grin became wider as she heard their compliments.
I am the best match for Han after all, she thought.
“Molly,” Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind.
Molly paused, This voice... It’s familiar.
She turned around and saw Leah standing outside the booth awkwardly. She was looking at her hesitantly.
“Why are you here?” Molly asked as she frowned with disgust when she saw Molly.
“Molly, there’s something I want to talk to you about. Do you mind coming out with me for a moment?” Leah asked loudly. She
slightly frowned as the ear-splitting music continued to play in the background.
She rarely came to places like these since she grew up poor. Even after marrying Han, he never allowed her to go to
entertainment establishments.
Furthermore, Leah felt uncomfortable by the unpleasant gazes around her.
Molly laid back onto the sofa and smiled, “Why should I? We can talk about it here,” she scoffed.

Leah bit her tongue. She felt awkward.
Molly was surrounded by the rich kids of Linkville. They would eat, drink and play everyday since they were rich.
At that moment, they noticed Molly’s attitude towards Leah and understood the situation instantly.
It seemed that Molly hated her.
In this case, they figured they did not have to hold back...
“Yeah, can’t you talk about it here?”
“Are you Molly’s friend? Let’s have a drink together!”
The guests taunted Leah.
Leah ignored their words and stared at Molly, “I would like you to take back what you said to Mr Simmons. I don’t know what you
said that made him change his mind, but I really need that opportunity,” Leah began politely.
Molly chuckled arrogantly before picking up the wine bottle beside her and poured herself a drink.
“Indeed, I was the one who persuaded him to do so. But you don’t expect me to help you out for free, right?” She twirled her
glass as she replied slowly.
There’s a chance then! Leah thought and her face lit up with hope.
“Ms Lamere, what do you want in return?” She politely asked Molly.
Molly’s gaze on her face turned toward the wine bottle in front of her.
She hated Leah’s gaze.
She despised her hopeful gaze, to the point where she wished to crush her hopes with her two hands.
“Why don’t you down this bottle, and I’ll give you a chance?” Molly lifted her chin up and looked at the wine bottle in front of her.
Leah was stunned for a moment before looking down to the wine bottle in front of her.
It’s a brand that she did not recognise. She could not tell how strong the drink was either.

The youths around the booth gazed maliciously towards Leah.
Molly then winked at one of the men, and he immediately poured a glass of wine for Leah.
“Drink it,” He gave an unpleasant smile as he spoke and placed the glass in front of her.
“Down! Down!”
“Come on! Just drink it!”
The cheers were getting louder as everyone was excited to see Leah embarrass herself.
Leah hesitated before slowly grabbing onto the glass...
She stared at the shiny liquid inside and closed her eyes before leaning her mouth towards the glass.
“Don’t drink it,” Suddenly a pair of hands snatched her glass from behind.
Leah was stunned, but before she could turn around, she saw Molly stood up swiftly, “Han? You’re here!” She exclaimed.
“Hm,” Han nodded and placed the glass down on the table. He looked around the group and said, “You all are boring.”
His appearance somehow managed to stiffen up the atmosphere in the booth.
After all, these youngsters were afraid of Han.
The moment they saw his expressionless face, they dared not speak up.
Molly immediately clinged onto Han’s arm, “Han, we didn’t force her to drink the wine! She wanted to down the bottle herself,
isn’t that so, Ms. Sarah?” She pouted.
Meanwhile, Leah felt terribly embarrassed.
Why would Han show up in the worst scenarios?
“... Yes,” she replied quietly.
Han did not even glance at Leah, “Why is she here then? You needed to kill the mood?” He remarked.
“Get out,” He said as he tilted his head and glared with his cold eyes.

Leah was immediately frozen by his gaze.
She clenched her hands and looked up at Han’s gaze.
She did not want to leave.
As long as Molly did not agree to take back her words, she could never leave.
“That’s right, get out of here!”
“Such a shameless and stubborn woman! You’re killing the mood now!”
Once they saw Han insulting her, they followed along.
Tears started to pile up in Leah’s eyes, but she held her tears.
As if nothing changed over the past six months... Han simply watched the group humiliate Leah.
Even the one who hurt her the most was still herself.
“Tch, you guys are so annoying,” All of a sudden, an annoyed sound was heard from the booth beside theirs.
Then, a pair of hands held onto the glass screen and a fierce-looking man who reeked of alcohol slowly appeared. He was
holding onto a wine bottle in his right hand, looking like a drunkard.
Yet his eyes were as clear as ever.
His once tender and affectionate eyes were now cold.
“Who even are you?” A guy irritatingly asked.
Bam!
The man smashed the wine bottle on their booth, “My name’s Ron Sanders, and you better remember that,” Ron announced his
entrance.
“Ron Sanders?”
“The bastard from the Sanders family?”

The crowd started muttering around after his surprise appearance.
Even Leah was surprised.
“I thought I told you all that if you mess with this woman, you’re messing with me!” Ron stood up straight and pointed at Leah as
he warned.
“So what? You’re nothing but an illegitimate child of the Sanders...” Molly started to feel uncomfortable as she muttered out.
Before she could finish her line, Ron smashed another wine bottle on the wall again.
“Ahh!” Molly and the others shrieked.
“What’s with the screams now? Weren’t all of you having fun bullying her just now?” An evil smile appeared on Ron’s face as he
teased them.
