Chapter 162 She’s Not Going to Spare Her Again This Time!
After all, Anna was a Pearson. If she stirred up a tempest in the Barnett Family when she was married, she would only disgraced the Pearson Family.
It was obvious that Gordon was not willing to clean up the mess for her.
Anna had reluctance written all over her face and seemed like she had something left to say, but he held his crutch and stood up before saying, “Enough. You should take a little responsibility for how this turned out. This is a lesson for you to remind you to think twice before you talk and act.”
Instantly, she knew that he was talking about Leanna.
Sienna was the one who orchestrated Leanna’s infant’s death in the car accident in the first place.
She instructed her to inform Gordon about Leanna’s pregnancy before bringing her back to the Pearson Family Estate. The plan came next…
He was warning her, probably because he knew the reason behind this.
With the loss of Leanna’s baby, he had lost all hope, but he needed someone to bear the consequences of this.
Subconsciously, she looked at Sienna and felt her body shudder. Was she being manipulated by her aunt?
At the same time, Sienna looked at her as well, with a mere smile tugging on her lips. “It’s okay to call off the engagement with the Barnetts, Anna. I’ll find a better one for you in the future.”
At this point, she could only nod and take everything in, but she was still feeling disgruntled. “I’ll go upstairs first, Aunt Sienna, Justin.”
Sienna nodded. “Okay.”
After Anna left, she looked at Justin. “Did you meet Leanna today?”
He replied, “That’s what I should do.”
“She’s the one who asked you to call off the engagement between Anna and Zayn, right?”
“I promised her that,” he said. “We owe her a lot.”
Hearing that, she scoffed, “She could only blame herself for marrying Aidan.”
He sighed and said, “For how long are you going to be like this, Mom? Aidan didn’t do anything wrong.”
“His presence itself is a mistake. The biggest mistake in his life is becoming that woman’s son.”
On the second floor, Anna was listening to their conversation. She gradually clenched her fist and hatred could be seen on her face. It’s her again! That b*tch! I’m not going to spare her again this time!
…
At night, when Leanna and Zoe were going home, they happened to see their neighbor moving.
The small apartment that Leanna rented previously was too small. It could only accommodate one person; two would be too cramped. So, when they were looking for a place to set up the studio, they rented a house nearby.
Zoe was curious. “Isn’t there an elderly lady living next door to us? Her whole family lives abroad. Where is she going to move?”
Leanna spoke with the moving personnel, but the other party stated that when they arrived, there was no one in the home, and that they were just responsible for moving; they didn’t know anything else.
After arriving home, Zoe lay on the couch right away and was engulfed in exhaustion. She didn’t have the energy to care about other people’s matters.
On the other hand, Leanna poured herself a cup of water. When she was halfway through her drink, she heard Zoe say, “Nana, I heard that Louis has published the photo in newspapers. Do you think it’ll work?”
He smiled and said, “Leanna, I hope you will remember me as a friend no matter what happens. You must notify me if anything happens. I do not want to hear about you from third parties again, as I did previously. If that happens again, I’ll hate myself for being useless.”
“You’ve already helped me a lot.” A smile tugged on her lips. “But since you said that, I won’t hold back anymore. Don’t say I’m annoying when I ask for your help in the future.”
When she was leaving, he called her again, “Leanna.”
Hearing that, she turned around. “What…” Before she could finish her sentence, she was hugged by him.
Zayn said, “I don’t know when will be the next time I’m going to see you after I leave. You must take care of yourself.”
“I will,” she said softly.
When she returned to the studio, Zoe asked with a nosy look, “What did you guys talk about? Did Zayn confess to you?”
Leanna said with a smile, “What are you thinking about?” As she said that, she looked outside and explained softly, “He’s going to Swiysal.”
“What?” Zoe frowned uncontrollably. “When is he coming back then?”
“I don’t know. The Barnett Group has a company there. He’s going there to take over the company officially.”
When she heard that, she put on a disappointed look. She was even thinking of bringing them together again since his engagement with Anna had been called off.
After a while, she asked her probingly, “So… there’s really no chance between you two anymore?”
Leanna looked away and shook her head with a faint smile on her face. In fact, the difference between Zayn and her was just too big. Even if those things hadn’t happened, they probably wouldn’t be together in the end either.
