Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 11-15
Chapter 11
Upon seeing her startled, the man smiled happily and let out a puff of smoke. As if he thought that she had not suffered enough, he continued to rub salt on her wounds. “You’re not afraid of death, but you feel humiliated over a small matter? Also, you better watch your mouth. If you dare to speak nonsense, I have a thousand ways to punish you. Consider yourself warned.” Leah stared blankly at his back as he left the room. She could no longer hold her tears back and they fell one after another. Even if she did not want to attend the banquet, she would be taken there by force three days later. Leah stood blankly in the corner of the banquet. There was a constant stream of laughter and joy around her, but she was the only one who did not fit in. “Hey everyone, the bride and groom are here!” No one knew who shouted. All of them looked toward the entrance and saw Molly enter holding Han’s arm. It was just an engagement banquet, but it felt like a wedding reception. Leah’s eyes were fixed on the handsome man in fancy clothes. Han noticed that Leah was standing there for a long time, so he looked her in the eye. Leah turned away as soon as their eyes met. She did not want anyone to know about her presence, but she could not find any peace. “Ms. Murray!” Molly walked toward her quickly, dragging Leah under the spotlight. “Are you feeling better now? Thank you for attending my engagement banquet.” There was an unfamiliar face, which attracted quite some attention. Soon, a celebrity asked, “Who is she?” Molly smiled. “This is Ms. Leah Murray. I met her in the psychiatric hospital.” When everyone heard that she was from a psychiatric hospital, they assumed that Leah was mentally ill. Leah noticed that everyone looked at her with contempt. A celebrity sneered, “Ms. Lamere, what were you doing in that wretched place? How unlucky.” Molly smiled embarrassedly. “I’m ashamed to say, I heard some rumors, so I went there out of curiosity. Turns out it was a misunderstanding.” She made it as though she was talking about something that was not a big deal. However, everyone understood the implications behind those words. “Oh, so she’s that delusional lunatic.” “Why would you want to be friends with that low-life? It’s disgusting.” “Yeah, she shouldn’t have come. The disgusting creature had soiled the place.” Leah was expressionless the whole time while the others mocked and pointed at her. Leah knew that she would have a hard time that day. Molly had always been rude to her, so what kindness did she expect from her to be invited to attend her banquet? However, what made her feel bad was not Molly at all. After all, Molly was insignificant to her. Han was the one who made
Leah feel bad. Han knew very well that this was a feast for the family, yet he deliberately asked her to be humiliated. Han had been indifferent and turned a blind eye to her humiliation on that occasion. He watched her being mocked by people and did not even have the slightest change in his expression.
Chapter 12
Leah’s heart went cold. She no longer expected him to stand up for her. The only thing she was sad about was her current situation as she had no way to defend herself or prove anything. She felt like a soulless puppet stripped naked by Molly. Moreover, she was mocked and despised by many. Molly had accomplished her goal. She grinned and grabbed Han’s arm then walked away. It was like she was giving some kind of signal. Some of Molly’s good friends gathered around Leah and attacked her with vicious and hurtful words. “Know your place! What makes you think Ms. Lamere’s fiancé will fall for you? You’re not worthy!” “Someone ought to slap you so you’ll wake up from your delusions.” “It’s not your fault that you’re mentally ill, but it’s your fault that you’re here to ruin the occasion!” They forced her into a corner. Leah’s back was against a large bookshelf. No one knew who pushed it, but a porcelain vase on the top toppled over. The vase hit Leah’s head. Leah was stunned. Then, blood oozed out of her scalp. Scarlet blood splattered on her face, and Leah was extremely embarrassed. Not only did these ladies not feel guilty at all, they even showed a playful expression. “You’re already ugly, but now you look even uglier. I don’t think Mr. Howard has the appetite to eat after seeing it like this.” Leah wiped her face with her hand and stared blankly at the blood on her palm. She murmured softly, “You guys like to bully people so much.” The lady closest to her heard it and showed a contemptuous smile. “Yes, we like to bully ugly and self-conscious fools like you.” Leah raised her head slowly and her eyes were clouded. “You hurt me.” Several people disagreed with her. Soon, they stopped laughing when Leah took another red vase from the bookshelf. Her eyes were cold and had the intention of breaking it. “That was my last straw.” Leah threw the vase at them. Screams could be heard but it was far from over. She grabbed one of the women’s hair and pinned her onto the ground, then hit her from side to side. Leah was so furious that she dared to fight against three women. Soon, the commotion grabbed Molly and Han’s attention. The people were all stunned when they saw the horrifying scene of Leah beating up someone. Someone shouted. “The lunatic is going to murder someone!” Han was going to step forward and put an end to this. However, before he could get any closer, Leah looked up and glared at him with bloodlust while her face was smeared in blood. “Are you going to help me beat them up?” Han saw the bloodstains on Leah’s face. He was about to reprimand
her but he saw the sadistic grin on her mouth. He felt his heart was being pierced. He said nothing and stood there in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.
Chapter 13
Molly arrived after that. She gasped as she was flabbergasted by the scene. She called security to take Leah away, however, the lady she was beating up was unconscious. No one expected Leah, who looked frail, would have such destructive power. It was truly unexpected. Han’s engagement with Molly had to be put to a halt after that incident. Molly even regretted forcing Leah to attend it. Her eyes flared with anger and ordered the security. “Take that woman away to the police!” Leah ruined Molly’s engagement. Molly could not pretend to be diplomatic anymore. She wanted Leah to go to jail! Leah was weak and powerless all of a sudden. The security guards managed to pin her to the ground, but Han stood up and stopped them. “Stop right there. Let me handle this.” No one expected that Han, who was Molly’s fiancé, would take off his suit jacket and put it on Leah. He ignored the others’ gaze and judgment. Molly widened her eyes in astonishment. “Han, you…” “Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle this matter on my own.” After finishing his sentence, he left the venue with Leah. He did not want to see Leah being handed over to the police. Molly froze. She felt numerous fingers pointing and judging her. She was so furious, that she grit her teeth tightly. Han did not care about her expressions and even protected Leah in front of so many people. It was like giving a slap across her face. Just as he was about to run over to stop them, he received a phone call all of a sudden. “Ms. Lamere, I did the things you told me to. Mr. Han was with a woman named Leah three years ago…” Looking at their backs, Molly stopped. She had a grim expression. “I see.” On the way back, Han sat at the back and stared at Leah sternly. “Did you do it on purpose?” It was not a question, but a certainty. Leah pretended to be confused, and asked him, “What do you mean I did it on purpose? I was humiliated by your fiancée on purpose? Or was it because I got bullied by those people on purpose? Wasn’t you the one who forced me to attend your banquet?” Han’s eyes were furious. However, he was choked by her words and his heart thumped intensely. “You were taking revenge on me, are you? Let me tell you, Leah. You’re not my enemy.” Leah could not help but chuckle. “I’m so sorry for ruining your engagement, however, I don’t regret doing so.” “You…” Han wanted to scold her, but he saw the blood on her face. Then, he swallowed his words. The silence was deafening. The car stopped at the psychiatric hospital. Han urged her coldly. “We’re here. Get off.” He could not hear the woman’s reaction after a while. He frowned and looked over. He was stunned. Leah leaned quietly in the back seat with her eyes closed.
Her face was incredibly pale. She fainted. Han’s heart froze. As he got closer, he realized that the blood on her face flowed down from the top of her head, and her scalp was swollen like a steamed bun. Without hesitation, he picked her up and got off the car immediately.
