Chapter 193
After returning home, Daniel looked at the door behind him thoughtfully.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
The call was from Elijah, who asked, "How's it going?"
Daniel sat on the couch and crossed his slender legs. "I did it personally, so of course, I succeeded."
"Georgina is smarter than you think. She has contributed a lot to the recent events of the Pearson
family," uttered Elijah.
"I'll stay alert. Besides..." Daniel paused before saying, "He came back early."
"When did he return?"
"Today, I think."
Elijah inquired, "Has he met Georgina?"
Daniel got up, opened the refrigerator door, and took out a can of beer. "Yes. I took Georgina out on
purpose."
"Should we bring forward the plan?"
"No," replied Daniel. "By the way, I saw Leanna today with Aidan."
There was no response from Elijah.
"There are so many beautiful women out there. Why must you have Aidan's woman?"
"You won't understand."
Before Daniel could answer, Elijah hung up the phone.
Daniel snorted while holding the phone, raised his head, and drank half a can of beer.
Today's plan was initially for him to get acquainted with Georgina first so that he could facilitate future
plans, but he didn't expect…
However, it seemed that Georgina had lingering resentment toward Aidan.
Otherwise, she would not have said those things in public and embarrassed him.
After finishing the rest of the beer, he squeezed the can with one hand and threw it into the trash can.
It was a goal.

Zoe looked at half of the cake and burped, "I can't eat anymore."
Leanna looked at her and instructed, "Put it in the refrigerator."
"No way. Didn't Daniel say that it won't be good if we eat it tomorrow?" Zoe wanted to take another bite,
but she was too full now, so she simply slouched on the couch. "He's weird. Why did he bring the cake
over but not even take a bite? I ate this all by myself!"
Leanna did not respond to her, but she found out why Daniel came here today.
His purpose was to inquire about the relationship between her, Georgina, and Aidan.
However, Leanna could not figure out why he would want to know. After a while, she got up. "I'm going
to sleep now. Stop eating and rest up already."
Zoe snorted and stood up firmly, declaring, "Goodnight. I have to walk a little. I'm too full."
"There are pills for digestion in the drawer. You can take some."
"Okay."
The following days went by peacefully.
Perhaps, Aidan was too busy settling the cooperation that he did not pester her.
Leanna's tense nerves also relaxed a little.
Just as she was looking out of the window in a daze, Zoe's voice rang. "Nana! Nana! Come and look."
Leanna got up and walked out of the office, asking, "What's wrong?"
"The environmental conservation project has been completed," Zoe exclaimed emotionally.
"Look! The scenery is so pretty now, and the air feels much better, and guess what?"
"What?"
"Besides green plants, they also planted baby's breaths of various colors! Baby's breath symbolizes
that you miss a person, that a person is pure, that the person gives you hope, that you love them, that
you're happy to have them, and that is the romance you want to offer them."
Leanna was speechless.
"Aren't you curious about the anonymous philanthropist who did this?" Zoe continued.

"Not at all."
"That's a pity."
Just then, Elijah came in from outside, heard their conversation, and asked, "What's a pity?"
Zoe chuckled dryly, "N-Nothing. It's nothing."
After saying that, Zoe questioned, "Elijah, have you been busy recently? I haven't seen you often."
Elijah nodded. "I just came back from a business trip abroad."
"No wonder I noticed you seemed to have lost weight recently."
Elijah smiled. "It's Thanksgiving tomorrow. Do you guys have any plans?"
Zoe sighed. "I don't even have a boyfriend. With whom shall I celebrate the festival? But we're going to
have a barbecue at home. Would you like to join us?"
When Zoe was talking, she winked at him desperately.
Elijah seemed a little hesitant, but he looked at Leanna, asking for her permission, "Do you mind if I
join?"
"Of course not."
Anyway, she also invited Louis and Daphne, so it did not really matter if there was one more guest.
Elijah breathed a sigh of relief. "Should I bring anything?"
"Bring me a boyfriend," Zoe lamented.
Elijah did not know how to respond to that.
Leanna covered Zoe's mouth and smiled. "She's joking."
After gobbling half of the cake that night, Zoe had thought it through and decided to give up on Daniel.
Since she had vowed to be a playgirl, she could not possibly be held back by one man!
At that moment, Elijah lowered his head and glanced at his watch, saying, "I'll see you tomorrow then. I
have to go now."
Zoe asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"
"I happened to pass by, so I thought I'd check up on you two."
"Okay, see you tomorrow," uttered Leanna.
Elijah nodded before turning to leave.
After walking a few steps, he noticed that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed. The

green plants seemed to appear out of thin air, standing in front of him, as if they were silently declaring
war on him.
When Elijah left, Zoe muttered, "We have Louis, Daphne, and Elijah, so that's five people in total.
Seems like it's gonna be quite crowded tomorrow."
"Do you want to invite Daniel?" inquired Leanna.
"Forget it." Zoe whispered, "He probably prefers canned food more than barbecue."
In Pearson Group, Aidan put down the pen in his hand and pinched his nose, asking, "Is there anything
else today?"
"No, but there is a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, so you have to come to the company
early," replied Jonathan.
Aidan sighed deeply, got up, and uttered, "You may go home now."
Jonathan followed closely behind and inquired, "President Pearson, there is something..."
"What?"
"Daphne said she can't attend the dinner party tomorrow night."
"Why?"
Jonathan could not come up with an answer because Daphne did not elaborate.
Aidan stretched out his hand and ordered, "Pass me the phone."
Jonathan immediately searched Daphne's number and dialed it, then handed it to Aidan.
The phone rang a few times before being connected.
"If you don't attend the dinner tomorrow, it will be treated as absenteeism," said Aidan.
Daphne went silent.
After a while, she argued, "President Pearson, you are being unreasonable. You only notified me of the
dinner party this afternoon, but I promised my friends to spend Thanksgiving together the day before
yesterday."
Hearing that, Aidan paused before questioning, "Which friend?"
"A pretty lady."
Aidan went speechless and halted in his footsteps. After a few seconds, he asked, "Where is it?"
"Her home."
"You don't have to attend the dinner event tomorrow, but I have one condition."
