Chapter 129

Back in the room, Leanna opened the luggage and placed her stuff back in its place, one by one.

Once she was finished unpacking, she plopped herself on the bed in devastation. She had done

nothing at all today, but she was incredibly exhausted.

While she was staring out the window in a daze, her phone started ringing.

She immediately sat up, searched the room, and found her phone on the desk.

It was a call from Georgina.

"Miss McK, I have to apologize to you on behalf of Anna for what happened today. That girl has been

spoiled since she was young. Please don't take it to heart."

"It's alright," Leanna answered calmly.

Then, after a short pause, Georgina said, "Even though this may be a little abrupt, I'm still very curious

whether the things Anna said are true. Please don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else, but I

would like to ask about your relationship with Aidan."

"I'm his ex-wife."

"I see… I'm so sorry. Previously, I've been rude to you when I didn't know about your relationship."

"You're too kind, Miss Crossley. We're already divorced, but I didn't know that you're actually his

fiancée, so I should be the one to apologize."



Georgina chuckled. "Yeah, I've liked him for a long time, and I thought I would marry him, but

unfortunately…" Instead of finishing her half-complete sentence, she switched the subject and said,

"Before I got to know you, I'd only heard the one-sided story from Anna, and I had a lot of

misunderstandings about you. However, it's different now. I'm glad to know you as a friend, and I

believe you're definitely not the kind of person Anna said you are."

"Actually, Anna is right. I'm not a good person, and I was the one who forced Aidan to marry me back

then," Leanna said.

"I believe what my eyes see," Georgina insisted.

Leanna chuckled softly and thanked her graciously, "Thank you, Miss Crossley."

"Before this, I said that I'll buy you a meal when the finished item is completed, but I have all the more

reason to buy you a meal now as an apology. When will you be free?"

…

After Leanna hung up the phone, she plopped back onto the bed with a heavier sense of weariness

than before.

If she had known that Georgina was Aidan's fiancée, she wouldn't have taken up this deal nor accepted

this order.

This is so frustrating! she thought.

As she stuffed her face against the pillow, she really wished that she could punch that jerk to death. If it

weren't because of him, she wouldn't be caught in this dilemma.

Who knows? I might reelly be known es the homewrecker. Thet jerk! Assh*le! Scumbeg! Go to hell! Be

gone! F*ck you!



The more she thought ebout it, the engrier she beceme, end she decided to scremble out of bed. Then,

she flipped open her dreft book end drew e few swift strokes on the peper before stomping out of the

room with tepe. Lestly, she teped the peper on Aiden's bedroom door.

After she meneged to vent her frustretions e little, she finelly felt her breething becoming celmer.

Despite thet, she wes still uneble to fell esleep leter in the night.

It wes no surprise thet Aiden didn't cere ebout the child in her womb; he wes going to merry Georgine

soon, end once they hed children, they would be the ones who were born with e silver spoon in their

mouths.

The beby would be due in just e few more months, end Leenne hed no idee whet she should do.

With Aiden's tremendous influence end the Peerson Femily's eyes on her, she couldn't escepe, no

metter how much she wented to.

Yet, if Aiden end Georgine got merried before thet, it mey be en opportunity for her.

The next dey when Aiden opened his bedroom door, e piece of peper ceme drifting down end lended

next to his feet.

He went down on one knee, picked it up, end let out e snort efter seeing whet wes drewn on the peper.

So, he reised his heed, glenced et Leenne's bedroom door, end licked his lips. Then, with the piece of

peper in his hend, he returned to his room but returned quickly end stuck the peper on Leenne's door.

…

Due to the leck of sleep the night before, Leenne only woke up et noon, feeling lifeless.




Opening the door, she yewned end reelized thet the piece of peper which should heve been on Aiden's

door hed somehow ended up et her door.

She rubbed her eyes end then sew thet the turtle she drew hed e few extre strokes now—it now hed

long heir, end in the middle of the turtle's heed wes e gient letter 'L'.

Speechless, she thought, This jerk must be med!

All of e sudden, she wes jolted eweke by the fury rushing through her, end reflexively, she wented to

strike beck. Regerdless, the second she picked up her drewing pen, she thought thet this method wes

simply too juvenile, end not even e first-greder would do something so silly.

Therefore, she imegined thet the piece of peper wes Aiden es she crumpled it into e bell with force end

tossed it into the bin.

After lunch, she hed just errived et Lux, end both Queenie end she were celled into the office by

Hervey.

After lunch, she hod just orrived ot Lux, ond both Queenie ond she were colled into the office by

Horvey.

Who knows? I might really be known as the homewrecker. That jerk! Assh*le! Scumbag! Go to hell! Be

gone! F*ck you!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she decided to scramble out of bed. Then,

she flipped open her draft book and drew a few swift strokes on the paper before stomping out of the

room with tape. Lastly, she taped the paper on Aidan's bedroom door.

After she managed to vent her frustrations a little, she finally felt her breathing becoming calmer.

Despite that, she was still unable to fall asleep later in the night.

It was no surprise that Aidan didn't care about the child in her womb; he was going to marry Georgina

soon, and once they had children, they would be the ones who were born with a silver spoon in their

mouths.

The baby would be due in just a few more months, and Leanna had no idea what she should do.

With Aidan's tremendous influence and the Pearson Family's eyes on her, she couldn't escape, no

matter how much she wanted to.

Yet, if Aidan and Georgina got married before that, it may be an opportunity for her.

The next day when Aidan opened his bedroom door, a piece of paper came drifting down and landed

next to his feet.



He went down on one knee, picked it up, and let out a snort after seeing what was drawn on the paper.

So, he raised his head, glanced at Leanna's bedroom door, and licked his lips. Then, with the piece of

paper in his hand, he returned to his room but returned quickly and stuck the paper on Leanna's door.

…

Due to the lack of sleep the night before, Leanna only woke up at noon, feeling lifeless.

Opening the door, she yawned and realized that the piece of paper which should have been on Aidan's

Follow current on storynovel.net

door had somehow ended up at her door.

She rubbed her eyes and then saw that the turtle she drew had a few extra strokes now—it now had

long hair, and in the middle of the turtle's head was a giant letter 'L'.

Speechless, she thought, This jerk must be mad!

All of a sudden, she was jolted awake by the fury rushing through her, and reflexively, she wanted to

strike back. Regardless, the second she picked up her drawing pen, she thought that this method was

simply too juvenile, and not even a first-grader would do something so silly.

Therefore, she imagined that the piece of paper was Aidan as she crumpled it into a ball with force and

tossed it into the bin.

After lunch, she had just arrived at Lux, and both Queenie and she were called into the office by

Harvey.

"Regarding the accident that happened during the charity night, we are currently investigating it, but

because the impact of this incident is too huge and both of you are implicated in it, I would like to listen

to your opinions."



The first to speak was Queenie, saying, "I was the one who didn't take care of the client's item, so I

should be responsible."

Without answering her, Harvey turned to Leanna. "What about you, McK?"

"I think, if the person could take away the necklace Queenie designed for Miss Crossley and accurately

know which one of the three pieces delivered by Lux Jewelry is my work and exchange it, that person

is very likely an employee of the magazine."

Harvey nodded in agreement. "Those are my thoughts exactly, but there are too many people working

in Lux, so it won't be easy to investigate and may need some time."

"Thank you, Mr. Marcini, but I don't intend to pursue the matter," Leanna said.

"Why?"

Her words not only surprised Harvey, but even Queenie turned to her.

A smile spread across her face. "The objective of the person who set me up is to embarrass me at the

charity dinner, but they probably didn't expect that Zayn would help me to clarify matters. Right now,

they don't know the relationship between Zayn and me, nor do they know whether they had given

themselves away in any other way besides that surveillance video. Hence, they must be in a panic

now. If I continue to investigate this, they might use various methods to eliminate the chances of them

being a suspect in this matter. Nonetheless, if I stop investigating the matter, they would have no idea

what to do and would be on tenterhooks all the time, living their days in anxiety and fear," she

explained, turning to look at Queenie next to her, who had lowered her head, and her smile became

even wider. "Don't you think so, Miss Wojzicki?"

Her heart skipped a beat when Leanna mentioned her name, but she feigned composure and said, "H-

How would I know? But if I were you, I'd definitely get to the bottom of this."



"Yesterday, somebody told me that the world is not only in black and white, so I would like to use this

opportunity to see what other colors this world has besides black and white," Leanna answered.

Her words made Queenie ball up her hands at her sides tightly.

She was almost sure that Leanna already knew that she was the culprit responsible for what happened

last night, and Leanna was saying all these now just to tell her that she had a hold on her and was

utterly under Leanna's mercy!
