Chapter 394 Unstoppable
In the end, Leah backed off.
She did not take off his mask.
She thought that he should not be Han since he was so open about her seeing his face.
After all, removing his mask meant she didn't trust him, which would ruin their friendship.
"Will there be anything happening in the auction tomorrow?" She tried to change the topic.
It was late in the night. Hand looked at the autumn night, and he said coldly, "Toying with Owen."
He actually liked one of the auction collections; it was a jade finger ring from ancient times.
It symbolized power and wealth, so naturally, he liked the ring.
Leah was shocked. She asked, "Is there any conflict between you and Owen?"
Owen was the king of a country; he was powerful and influential. She was worried, and she said, "Even
though we're in pasta now, we shouldn't underestimate him. Is it risky for you to go against him?"
"Especially not long ago, you offended Shawn by buying over a few of his companies. Do you want to
go against them at the same time?"
It was rumored that Hendrik was unstoppable; it seemed like he was indeed out of everyone's league.
He can be up against two powerful enemies at the same time!
He said indifferently, "It doesn’t make any difference; they're always secretly after me anymore."
"I'm just declaring it to the public."
Owen is a bastard; I've been working so long to infiltrate my power into Linkville... It's time for me to
make him pay for all of the humiliation!
Leah was shocked to hear his decision. "Alright, I'll help you out."
She would help him despite any reason. After all, she wanted to pay back Hendrik's kindness to her.
She was grateful to him for always saving her.
Back in her room, she was still flipping through the documents. Besides Owen, she saw a familiar

Vesper Thompson!
She was overjoyed, and she carefully read through his information.
Hendrik gave her very detailed information; the list basically listed each guest's preferred auction
collection.
Seeing Vesper go after a jade bracelet from ancient times, she was stunned.
Didn't I see this bracelet in Hendrik's villa before? Why is it in the auction now?
She was worried that she had made a mistake, so she went to his study to confirm. The texture and
pattern of the jade bracelet were exactly the same as those in the auction collection.
She knocked on his bedroom door and asked, "What the hell is going on? Won't the auction only
include items that are unique in the world?"
His eyes reflected her puzzled look, and he smirked. "The real item is with me; you should build rapport
with him first; I'll look into this matter myself."
At this moment, she realized that he was giving her a chance, he gave her a chance to get near
Vesper.
It seemed like he was more worried than her about getting West Street Land to build her reputation in
the company.
She was touched, and she thanked him again. "Thank you."
He was keeping his cool, and he said calmly, "It's nothing; you should go to bed early."
Early the next morning, they went to the auction, which was held in an underground ocean-themed
hotel.
In the huge auction hall, three walls were built with huge floor-to-ceiling glass, and the outside was blue
ocean water with swimming fish.
There was a faint smell of sea salt and also red wine in the air.
Leah gasped and said, "The designer is so talented!"
The material selection of the building and the design of load-bearing and waterproofing must be
considered carefully in order to build such a place.
From the designer's point of view, she appreciated more than the beauty of this hotel; she also
appreciated the professional knowledge used in building it.
"Miss, you're correct. Mr. Hendrik is the one designing it." The waiter said as he brought them to their
seats.
She was amazed, and she turned and looked at him. She wanted to ask how he designed this place,
but she was afraid to give his identity away.
She moved her lips and forced herself to shut up.
She was dumbstruck at the moment.
Hendrik had made a breakthrough in the international business world in two years, and he even had
amazing talents in design.
"Don't fall in love with me." He saw her gasping in surprise out of the corner of his eye; he raised an
eyebrow and spoke.
Leah was embarrassed and shook her head. "No, we're best friends!"
Hendrik was an important friend to her, just like Serena.
Besides always making fun of her, Hendrik was truly an amazing friend.
Anna and Owen were also at the auction; they were wearing masks to hide their identities.
Most of the guests were wearing full-face masks.
Anna stared at the man next to Leah, and she said, "Could he be Ethan? I have to make sure..."
"Nana, don't be rash. The businessmen from Pasteria will target us if our identities are exposed." Owen
stopped her in time.
If it happened, people might purposely raise the price in the auction. And he might end up paying extra
to get the auction collections.
Anna wanted to get an ancient drawing from the auction too; it dated back to three thousand years ago.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to give it to Ethan to make up with him.
She suppressed herself as she thought of her purpose here.
But she glared at Leah viciously from time to time.
She's just an immoral b*tch! How did she manage to attend such a high-end auction? I really
underestimated her before this!
Anna always regarded Leah as the obstacle to her love life; now she saw her as the obstacle to her life!
She was always here to obstruct her, and she was totally annoyed by her.
Leah felt that someone was staring at her; she turned around abruptly, but she did not see anything
unusual.
"What's wrong?" Han saw that she was uneasy.
She shook her head and sighed. "It's nothing; I might be overthinking."
After she spoke, she put on a mask and waited for the auction to start.
With Hendrik sitting next to her, she actually tensed up as she felt a murderous gaze fall upon her just
now.
Soon, the host announced the start of the auction.
Not long after, the jade bracelet was shown on the stage.
Vesper was sitting two rows in front of Leah, and he was starting to bid.
"I'll go over for a while." She whispered to Hendrik, and she quietly went up the Vesper.
"What do you want?" Vesper was alert and on guard when Leah suddenly sat beside him.
Leah was sweating cold sweat as she felt the pressure from him. She composed herself and got closer
to him. She explained in a lowered voice, "Hello, I just wanted to remind you that the bracelet on stage
is not real; please don't waste your money."
She turned on her phone and showed him the picture in her gallery. She said, "This is the real bracelet;
it's with my friend."
