Chapter 1903


    Leah paused and noticed that Mrs. Cooper, the bodyguard, and even Robert were ring at her


    and she said sheepishly, " Maybe I was being too blunt, La, but I really want you to focus on your


    studies. I experienced the same thing as you did when I was little. My parents got divorced and I


    grew up with my father... Do you know Natalie Jennings?" Her words took an unexpected turn


    toward the end.


    The wariness on all their faces instantly turned into curiosity and shock the moment she mentioned


    Natalie.


    "I do!" La said. "Do you know her as well?


    Leah grinned shyly. "She is my cousin."


    The room fell into silence.


    After the visit, Leah called Natalie and went over to her house.


    "I told you not to work as a teacher but you won’t listen." Natalie poured Leah a ss of water. "I


    forgot to tell you that I’m not on good terms with Elliot and his family.


    Going to his house and mentioning my name was a stupid move."


    "I thought La would be more inclined to listen to me if I mentioned your name," Leah said with a


    vacant expression.


    "La thinks that I''m standing in the way of her parents getting back together, so she hates me.


    She would not even let me into the house," Natalie said in a cold voice. "I have treated that girl with


    extra care before to make a good impression, so I didn''t expect her to treat me like an enemy as


    soon as her mother came back. I''ve finally realized that one needs to be strong so that others don''t


    look down on them," Natalie added.


    "I see!" Leah had not been close to Natalie prior to this. The two had only gotten in contact with one


    another because Leah had returned to Aryadelle to work, and their parents had urged them to look


    after each other. "Natalie, for someone as brilliant as you are, you will surely be able to find a great


    man. Forget about guys like Elliot, who are divorced and have children!"


    "Yeah, I''ve thought it through. I am just going to rely on myself from now on." She studied Leah''s


    face. "You’ve probably


    gotten in a lot of trouble today during your visit, haven''t you? La can be really rude."


    "Maybe it''s because shecks thepany of her parents! Her parents have gone overseas again."


    Natalie narrowed her eyes. "Overseas?


    Where to?" "I don’t know. I’ve tried calling Elliot but his phone is switched off," she said when


    suddenly, her phone started ringing.


    It was from Elliot.


    Leah immediately answered the call." Hello, Mr. Foster. I am La’s ss teacher for this term. My


    name is Leah Kennedy."


    "I’m sorry for missing your call. I just got off the ne," he said.


    Natalie snatched Leah’s phone :e''


    "I was just at your house for a visit to have a chat with La. There''s something that I would like to


    discuss with you or La''s mother. May I know when you will be free? " Leah grabbed her phone


    back and said.


    Avery overheard her and whispered to


    Elliot, "La''s teacher? What did she say?"


    "She paid La a visit... She''s saying that she needs to talk to us," Elliot lowered his voice and


    exined.


    Their whispers were caught by both Natalie and Leah.


    "Hello, Ms. Kennedy. La''s mother and I are not in the country at the moment, and we won''t be


    returning any time soon. If there’s something you need to talk to us about, you may do so on the


    phone."


    Natalie immediately walked away and began her plotting, now that she knew Elliot was gone.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
