When Gordon had stormed off in a huff, Jonathan knocked on the door of the president’s office.
Aidan got up and walked to the desk. “Come in.”
Jonathan entered the office and placed a document on the desk. “Mr. Pearson, this is the minutes of
the meeting and some documents for you to sign.”
Aidan gave a nonchalant hum.
Jonathan couldn’t resist his curiosity and inquired, “Why does Old Mr. Pearson want to arrange a date
for you out of the blue…”
Aidan snorted at his remark and flipped through the documents on the desk while quipping leisurely,
“Why else? He’s worried that once Leanna is proven to be a member of the Crossley Family, she will
team up with me to deal with him. So, of course, he’s on pins and needles now.”
“He got the news so quickly…”
Aidan narrowed his dark eyes slightly and didn’t say anything.
Gordon must have been watching Crossley Group’s bidding session at all times and wanted to take
advantage of any weak points he could find, so it was not surprising at all that he would receive the
news so fast.
“Have you found Jethro?” Aidan asked.
Jonathan lowered his head, chagrined. “No… He’s very good at hiding. We’ve placed spies in various
underground casinos, but he never appears as if he could sense our presence.”
Aidan pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Forget it, then. Find out how he escaped from
prison. He shouldn’t be able to do this all by himself.”
“Are you saying that someone is helping him?”
“He couldn’t have disappeared for no reason. If he had been able to control himself from gambling, he
wouldn’t have messed up his life to his extent.”
“I’ll make sure to investigate this matter.” Jonathan nodded slightly.
“Hang on.”
Aidan’s voice echoed behind him as soon as he turned around.
“Yes, Mr. Pearson. Is there anything else?”
Aidan licked his lips and said, “Don’t tell Leanna about this.”
Jonathan kept a straight face and said seriously, “Okay.”
It seemed that his painstaking efforts were not in vain, as Aidan had become better and better at
winning his ex-wife’s heart.
After Jonathan left, Aidan took out his phone and dialed Oscar’s number. As soon as the call was
connected, he asked, “How is it going?”
“I’m watching him all the time. He went home after the bidding ended and did not do anything unusual.”
“What about Daniel?”
“He also went straight home.”
Aidan’s lips twitched slightly. These people were indeed the epitome of patience.
Oscar added, “Based on my findings, William’s information shows that he does not have a daughter at
all. So it means that either there is no such person in the first place, or…”
“He thought she was dead.”
Oscar paused for a while before saying, “In that case, do you think that Leanna is… Is he—”
“It’s too early to tell,” Aidan interjected. “Keep an eye on them and notify me as soon as you notice
something off.”
…
Leanna had been in the office of her studio since she returned. She stared at the pocket watch, utterly
immersed in her thoughts. Her expression was unreadable, making it highly difficult for one to guess
just what she was thinking.
For some reason, she had a feeling that the truth was within her grasp, so close that it seemed like it
was just a hand’s reach away. She also felt that Mr. Jackson must be in the know.
Then, there was a knock on the door, and Zoe poked her head in. Leanna quickly placed the pocket
watch down and asked, “Zoe, what’s up?”
“Are you drawing a design?”
“Not yet.” Leanna shook her head and massaged her temples.
Zoe presented the bags she had hidden behind her back and shook them enticingly. Inside the bags
were coffee and pastries. “I’ve brought you some goodies! Snack first, work later.”
With that, she put the bags on Leanna’s desk and said, “I need to go out later for a shoot, and I’ll go
straight to review the houses. I won’t return to the studio after this. So, be careful when you go home by
yourself later.”
“I will.”
“When will you move in with the Crossleys?”
“In a couple of days.”
Zoe sighed quietly. Suddenly, she jerked up as if something had crossed her mind. “Does Louis know
about this?”
“I haven’t told him yet. So don’t say anything to him. Let’s see how things go.”
“Don’t worry. My lips are sealed. I promise not to spill the beans.” Zoe even made the gesture of pulling
the zipper on her lips.
Finally, she urged, “Go ahead and eat those. I’m going out now. Tiffany and the girls will man the shop.
So just do your work and don’t bother about other things.”
After Zoe left, the originally lively office became quiet again.
Leanna took a deep breath, turned on the computer, and began to draw the draft.
Time ticked by, and she couldn’t ignore her sore muscles from maintaining the same position for hours.
When she finally looked away from her work, the sky outside was already dark.
She looked at her phone, and it was already 9.00PM.
She massaged her stiff neck and walked out of the office.
No one was in the studio at this moment, as everyone had already gone home. Leanna walked to the
pantry to pour a glass of water. When she took a sip, she heard footsteps from the door. She figured
that it was Aidan, so she muttered without looking back, “Just wait for me outside. I’ll be right—”
“Leanna.”
It was Elijah’s voice.
An astonished Leanna hurriedly placed the glass down and turned around with her eyes wide in shock.
Elijah, who was standing in the doorway, smiled at her. “You just got off work, right?”
Leanna nodded lightly.
Elijah pursed his lips before asking, “Are you free tonight? I want to take you out to dinner.”
“Huh?” Leanna froze in shock. Just as she was about to answer, a cold male voice resonated, “Since
Mr. Parker has kindly asked you out, just go.”
Aidan stood beside Elijah, who was rendered mute and slightly awkward. He looked at Elijah and
smirked unpleasantly. “I always happen to be around when you want to take her out to dinner. What a
pleasant coincidence. It seems that I’m quite lucky.”
Elijah chuckled in discomfort. He looked at Leanna, but when he thought of what she said when he
entered, he retracted his gaze and tacked on, “Well, if you don’t mind, you should join us.”
“Thank you. Please wait outside. We’ll be right up.”
Elijah nodded absent-mindedly and turned to leave the studio.
“What are you doing?!” Leanna glared at Aidan in exasperation.
“Did you really plan to go to dinner with him alone?” Aidan raised his eyebrows.
“I—”
It wasn’t like that. She simply felt that Elijah had something to say.
Before she could consider his invitation, this b*stard decided to mess things up.
Aidan said, “I’m coming with you.”
“Why? He obviously has something to say to me. If you go, he can’t say it.”
“Why not? What is he worried about? Is it about something illegal or whatnot?”
Leanna looked at him in askance. This b*stard is so good at twisting my words into nonsense. At this
rate, he can even persuade the birds to come down from the trees like Snow White.
Leanna grabbed her keys and whispered to Aidan as she sneaked a glance at Elijah, “Okay, you can
go, but try to keep your talking to a minimum. Forget it. Don’t talk at all! Not even a single word!”
