Chapter 36
There Was No Way Out Realizing that the one who rejected her request three years ago was the same person who put her down every single day for forcing a marriage with him just for money made Leanna’s heart ache. It was as if someone was using a rusty blade to pierce her heart little by little. It was bitter and painful.
Thankfully, they had divorced for good. Otherwise, she might suffocate Aidan with a pillow someday while sharing the same bed at night when emotions got the best of her. It was probably due to pregnancy that had worsened her mood swing; it took her a long time to recompose herself. She woke up at midnight only to find her pillow sodden with tears. The more she thought about it, the more vexed she was. Impulsively, she took her phone out to post something on her social media account. ‘XXX is the most disgusting man in this world!!!’ The three exclamation marks indicated how furious she was.
Amongst the concerned people in the comment section, Jonathan, who was still working overtime, was the only one who hit the ‘like’ button. As if he was attempting to say, I know who you’re talking about and I feel you. Leanna remained silent for a moment before regaining her composure. Initially, she thought of deleting the post, but it did not matter because she had previously blocked Aidan’s Twitter account. After all, she did not expose the person’s identity. Even if he assumed that she was insinuating him after reading it, she could not do anything about it. After sleeping for long hours for the past few days in addition to the fuming rage, she was completely awake. Thus, she figured that it would be better to use the time to sketch another design. On the other side, Daphne was on Twitter and stumbled across some hilarious content by chance. She screenshotted it before forwarding to a group chat to share it with her fellow crew members. Everyone had fun gushing about it until she received a private message from Aidan out of the blue. ‘What did Leanna post?’ She did not understand the question as she replied to him with a question mark. ‘Look at the bottom of the screenshot. What did she write about?’ He was evidently impatient.
It was not until then did she notice that the funny content was just right above Leanna’s Tweet. Although Leanna’s name was in the screenshot, the written content was not included. Surprised, Daphne asked her assistant as to when Aidan was added to that group chat, only to be informed that he had always been there since the incident that had happened two years ago. It was just that he never texted in the group. Silence struck upon her. Does that mean this evil sponsor has been watching me talk sh*t about him this whole time? Feeling the cold sheen behind her back, Daphne checked Leanna’s post again before reconfirming with Aidan. ‘President Pearson, are you sure you wanna know?’ ‘Take a screenshot for me.’ He was rather cool about it. Soon, the insinuating statement was displayed on Aidan’s phone. In order to let Leanna’s post stand out in the picture, Daphne cropped out the irrelevant information such as the ‘Jonathan liked this Tweet’ banner as well as her own reply below. She personally thought that the ‘XXX’ was a commendable move by Leanna.
