Chapter 365 Are We Friends?
Her eyes reddened upon reading his messages.
She could feel his sincerity through the screen.
It was a long time before a stranger actually showed her kindness.
She forgot to take her medicine; she embarrassedly lied in her text.
"Yes, I took the medicine. Thanks for caring. May I know why you are helping me?"
"You're lying… You typed an extra comma because you're flustered. Take your medicine now."
The autumn night was cold, but it was warmer than the winter in Qustraebar.
As the breeze blew by, she felt heartwarming.
It seemed like Hendrik did not want to disclose his intentions, but she was intoxicated by his care for
her.
"Are we friends?"
She was lost at the moment, so she asked such a question.
She was a little ashamed, but there was not a button to recall the message...
Just when she felt ashamed, Hendrik replied. "We can be."
She was taken aback for a moment; her eyes were filled with hope.
On that night, she chatted with Hendrik about everything; she wished she had known him earlier in her
life.
Han also returned to his villa back in the country; it was midnight after he finished chatting with Leah.
He came to Carlotta's room, and he looked at her quietly for a long time. He was still holding the phone
that he used to chat with Leah as Hendrik.
The plan was getting closer; Own was after Leah and Carlotta. He would use all his might to protect the
two of them.
After tucking Carlotta into bed, he went back to his room and scrolled through his chat with Carlotta.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis heart melted reading it.
She seems to be nice to everyone except me.
But it's nice to be close to her as Hendrik...
He made a call, and his face crumpled. "Start the operation now."
He had pretended long enough; it was time for him to take things under control.
The next morning, Ford and Leah's topic was overshadowed by another story.
"The White Group is suspected of tax evasion and other illegal acts."
"The White Group went bankrupt; Jackson was arrested."
Leah saw the news after she woke up; she was dumbfounded.
The White Group was under Shawn and Jackson's control after what happened then.
Why is it inexplicably bankrupt now?
Shawn was taken away by the police to be investigated a few months ago, but in the end nothing
happened.
Anyone could guess that the bankruptcy of the White Group was caused by a powerful party.
Early in the morning, Serena and the workers were discussing it when they arrived in the studio.
"It's unexpected that the White Group was wiped out overnight." One of the workers exclaimed
Lucy was concerned as the White Group was bankrupt. She was worried that the Ford family would be
affected by it.
Leah knew that she was sad, so she comforted her and said, "Lucy, you should rest today. Pay a visit
to the Ford family if you want."
Serena smiled casually at Leah, and she said "If only I had that much money, then I could buy the
White Group and gift it to you."
"Ms. White, can you visit Mr. Ford with me?" Lucy interrupted Serena's words.
Leah was taken aback, but she did not think about it much. She rejected him with a frown, "Sorry, Lucy,
but I can't go with you."
And she did not want to enrage Han even more; if not, he might never let her meet with Carlotta again.
Lucy was a little disappointed, but she did not force Leah. She went alone to the Ford Residence.
Leah felt a little bit guilty seeing her left alone.
She wanted to start working, but Serena exclaimed at the side, "The Kendrick Group bought off the
White Group?"
Kendrick Group? H-Huh? Doesn't it belong to Hendrik?
She was surprised, and she frowned and pondered. She was confused when she saw Hendrik
approaching her.
First he gets close to me, and then he buys White Group. Could it be that there are some important
documents in the White Group that he can't decipher? So he needs my help?
After speculating, she lost all her attraction for Hendrik.
She was hurt. So after all, you want to get close to me for your own benefit?
But she was still very grateful to him; because of his help, she was able to survive in the hotel in
Qustraebar. She was the chief designer of HJ Corporation, and she partly thanked him.
"Sarah, are you alright?" Serena saw her in a daze, so she asked worriedly, "Are you worried about
Shawn?"
Leah shook her head and smiled faintly. "No, I was thinking about the HJ Corporation. They want me to
work at the headquarters of Qustraebar."
Serena froze. She tried to suppress her feelings. "Did you agree to it?"
Leah could see that Serena was feeling down; she chuckled and said, "Impossible; we promised each
other to start a studio together to make money, right?"
"So I reject Susan's invitation; we'll only be collaborating with them on a project worth hundreds of
millions of dollars."
All the staff were stunned, and they exclaimed, "Sarah, did you really refuse the invitation?"
Leah wanted to accept the invitation at the beginning, but Susan refused to let her work in the pasta
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbranch, so she ended up declining it.
Working in Qustraebar meant that she had to leave her friends and Carlotta alone; she could not do it.
But fortunately, Susan signed a long-term cooperation contract with her. Under normal circumstances,
she could earn 100 million dollars a year.
Serena was very moved by her decision; she said, "Sarah, we can make Dream Designs well-known
and famous!"
Leah looked at her gently, and she said softly, "Yes."
Anna was being called to Owen's suite.
"Dad, why are you looking for me?" Anna was occupied with harming Sarah; she wanted her death but
she never succeeded until now.
Owen could see that she was upset; he glowered and said, "Nana, ask Ethan to settle down and pick a
wedding date."
"Hendrik has already arrived in Pasteria; he might affect the project of Ethan and Shawn. He should
back off at the moment."
Anna thought about the sudden appearance of Hendrik, and she gritted her teeth and snorted, "Ethan
promised to gift the White Group to me! Now it was stolen from me!"
"Dad, who's Hendrik? Can't we just send someone to assassinate him?"
Owen was shocked upon hearing Ann's intention.
"It was better to stay low at the moment. Hendrik not only owns the Kendrick Group; he also has an
elite foreign armed force under his command."
"And, so far, no one knows what he looks like."
Anna was not satisfied. She said, "I heard that Hendrik was close to Sarah; he helped her twice in
Qustraebar."
She was so annoyed that she was about to explode. How could someone like Leah catch the attention
of Hendrik?
If Leah was really related to Hendrik, it would be hard for her to assassinate her.
