Listening to Leanna’s words, Zachary shook in fear. As Leanna said, she couldn’t pry much into the Jackson family. However, as a member who was on equal footing with the heads of the top ten families, her words carried weight. If she told Old Master Jackson about today, then Zachary’s position as heir might not be secure.
“Leanna, I-I was kidding; please don't take it seriously…” Zachary stammered.
Leanna’s expression was ice cold. “I’ve already said it, and I won’t say it again. I don’t want to hear any more of your nonsense!”
Embarrassed, Zachary took a deep breath and walked over to Matthew and Sasha. "Mr. Larson, Miss Cunningham, I'm sorry! Leanna, I believe that is all?"
Before Leanna could speak, Matthew interrupted, "What did you say? I couldn’t hear it clearly!"
Leanna glanced at Zachary Jackson. Even she could tell that he wasn't being sincere in his apology.
With a gloomy face, Zachary shot Matthew a fierce look. It's good that I’m already apologizing, yet you still want to be picky about it? Damn, when all this settles down, I will surely kill this b*stard!
After a long time, Zachary finally apologized sincerely, "Mr. Larson, Miss Cunningham, I'm truly sorry about what happened today!”
Matthew was about to say something when Sasha tugged on his sleeve, saying, "It's alright." At that, Matthew smiled and chose to be silent. Leanna said, "Since they have forgiven you, the matter is settled then. Zachary, you keep this in mind. Mr. Larson is my savior, and I don't want him or his wife to be insulted ever again. Understood?"
"I understand." Zachary was extremely angry inside, but chose to nod his head instead.
Leanna nodded and smiled at Matthew. "Mr. and Mrs. Larson, shall we have our dinner someplace else?"
Sasha smiled and said, "That would be great!"
Leanna and Sasha walked ahead while Matthew trailed behind. He then stopped in front of Zachary. Looking at Matthew bitterly, Zachary said in a low voice, "You really are one of a kind, Larson. This ain’t over yet!"
Matthew smiled at him. "Pfft, Jackson, count yourself lucky today! If it weren't for Leanna, you would have ended up in hot soup!”
Zachary was furious. "Larson, are you threatening me? Don't tell Leanna of this; let's settle it ourselves! Mark my words, if I can’t kill you, I’ll get rid of my own last name!"
Matthew smiled lightly and patted Zachary on the shoulder. "Don't worry, nothing is impossible. We have plenty of time!"
Leanna finally chose to treat Matthew and Sasha to dinner at Shanghai Nights, where she was also a diamond member. As Sasha chatted with Leanna, she was no longer wary of her, and even felt that they should’ve met earlier. Both being strong as well as extremely beautiful women, they attracted the attention of countless people. Sasha suddenly asked, "By the way Leanna, why did you bring the child to the hospital alone that night? Where is the child's father?”
"The child’s father is gone." Leanna looked slightly embarrassed, and she said with a low chuckle, “I am a single parent.”
No wonder she had to take her child to the hospital alone at night. Sasha didn’t want to pry any further. After chatting for a while, Leanna took out the card and handed it to Matthew, but both Matthew and Sasha refused to accept it.
Leanna didn't expect Matthew and Sasha to refuse it so easily. After all, there was thirty million in the card. However, no matter what she said, Matthew and Sasha remained unchanged with their decision.
In the end, Leanna gave up, though she had a newfound respect for Matthew and Sasha. The three of them sat and chatted for a while before Leanna excused herself, saying that she needed to return to take care of her child.
