Chapter 171


    Who the Hell Are You Anna raised her hand as she spoke, but just as she was about to p Leanna’s


    face, Leanna grabbed her wrist in midair. Then, before she coulde to her senses, she was pped


    hard across the face. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she yelled in a shrill voice, “You hit me? How


    dare you hit me! Leanna, you…” Leanna looked at her expressionlessly, “What else am I supposed to


    do? Should I invite you to sit down for a cup of tea instead?” She shrieked toward the outside, “What


    are you guys waiting there for? Are you blind?” After that, several men immediately came in through


    the door. She pushed her away with all her might. Looking ferocious, she yelled, “Smash up the ce!


    Smash everything up and leave nothing behind!” Leanna looked imperturbable, though. She darted an


    impassive look at the few men who were about to do as being told, saying, “I don’t know whether you


    guys are the Pearson Family’s men or the Zielinski Family’s, but if you guys dare to do anything, I won’t


    let this slide easily. If someone’s gonna be held ountable for this, Anna will probably be fine, but


    none of you will get away with it.” The few men looked at each other. For a moment, they stood there


    and hesitated withouting forward. They were all brought here from the Pearson Family by her.


    Although they took orders from Sienna, they all knew that Leanna was Aidan’s ex-wife. She was


    disregarded by the Pearsons, but Anna wasn’t of high standing in the Pearson Family either. If Leanna


    really went to the Pearson Family to demand an exnation for this, it was true that the Pearsons


    wouldn’t be able to do anything to Anna. Instead, they would only put all the me on them.


    Seeing that these men hesitated, Anna yelled at the top of her voice, “Do you really think she can do


    anything about you? Nobody in the Pearson Family takes a shameless b*tch like her seriously; nobody


    even cares if she’s dead or alive! If you guys don’t do as I told you, I’ll tell Aunt Sienna about this right


    away, and all of you are gonna have a hard time!” Just then, a figure stepped into the studio. After


    looking around, Elijah came to Leanna’s side, asking, “Leanna, what’s going on?” She replied


    impassively, “Nothing. It’s just a madwomaning here with her people to cause trouble.” He turned


    to look at Anna before frowning almost imperceptibly. He couldn’t help feeling that he had seen her


    somewhere before. After a moment, he said, “You’re Miss Pearson, right?” She shot a nce at him


    with an expression full of mockery and disdain. “Who the hell are you to think you have the right to


    speak to me?” she said.


    Then, she said to Leanna disdainfully, “You’ve always got plenty of guys around you, huh? It’s a


    compliment to say that you have no sense of shame.” He turned a deaf ear to her words, though his


    face grew somewhat frosty. “I’m Elijah Parker from Constetion Tech. Miss Pearson, it’s fine if you turn


    up your nose at me. But please tell your father when you go back that mypany doesn’t deserve the


    coborative project that he and I have been negotiating. Please ask him to look for another


    coborative partner.” Anna had tetchiness written all over her face. “Constetion Tech? What the hell


    is that? If you know that we’re beyond your reach, then get lost and stop wasting my time over here!”


    Leanna said, “Anna, I’m only giving you 30 seconds to leave.” “Do you think you can threaten me? The


    only one backing you is that illegitimate son, who isn’t in Highside at the moment. What can you do


    about me?” She smiled faintly.


    “If my guess is correct, Justin should’ve warned you to stay away from me.” When Anna heard this, she


    clenched her teeth with her eyes full of hatred. She had finally found an opportunity during Aidan’s


    absence in Highside, but who would’ve known that someone from Constetion Tech would pop up and


    spoil her ns? Not only that, Leanna—that b*tch—even used Justin—that cripple—to browbeat her! If


    he were to learn that she hade here in secret to give Leanna a hard time, he would definitely


    reprimand her for this, and Sienna would side with him as well. However, how could she be willing to


    leave just like that? At this moment, Zoe also came out of her office. “If you don’t want to leave, then


    stay.

    I’ve called the police, anyway. We can have tea together at the police stationter.” Anna let out a


    sneer. “I’m not gonna let this slide. Just you wait!” Silence returned to the studio after she left with her


    people. Leanna turned to look at Elijah, saying, “I’m sorry you had to witness such a show.” He shook


    his head. “I’ve heard long ago that the Pearson Family’s daughter is spoiled, arrogant, domineering,


    and unreasonable. Now that I’ve met her in person, I have to stay that the rumors are indeed true.” Zoe


    said, “She’s a madwoman who brings bad luck to whoever shetches onto.” After a brief pause, she


    continued, “Hey, you just said that you had a coboration with her father. Were you referring to the


    Pearson Family? Wouldn’t it be bad for you to cancel the coboration like that?” He smiled. “No, it’s


    not the Pearson Family. I won’t suffer any losses by canceling the coboration this time. They’re the


    only ones who’ll get anxious.” In fact, anyone who knew at least a little about the Pearsons would know


    that despite Anna’sst name, both her parents weren’t members of the Pearson Family.


    Her father married into the Zielinski Family and inherited the family’s wealth, but his business has been


    heavily in debt over thest few years due to mismanagement. The Zielinski Family would have ceased


    to exist long ago if not for the support of the Pearson Family. And besides, Aidan seemed to have been


    mping down on the Zielinski Family these days. In order to get the opportunity to coborate with


    Constetion Tech, her father had done everything he could and pulled a lot of strings. Elijah had only


    agreed to coborate with Anna’s father because he couldn’t turn him down. And now, Anna had given


    him an opportunity by making a scene here. Zoe heaved a sigh of relief. “Good to hear that,” she said


    while sneaking a nce at Leanna as her eyes flickered for an instant. “Well, then… Nana, show him


    around the studio while I go out to buy a few cups of coffee.” Leanna knew without thinking what she


    was up to again.


    She grabbed Zoe and said with a faint smile, “Just order takeout. There’s no need to go to so much


    trouble.” “But that’s…” Elijah chimed in, “I just happened to pass by, so I came to take a look. I have to


    go soon.” When Zoe heard this, she quickly replied, “How could you leave? You saved us today, so we


    have to treat you to dinner no matter what.” Leanna gave it a thought before saying, “If you don’t have


    much to do at your office, let’s stay for dinner before going back.” In any case, if it weren’t for him,


    Anna’s reckless disposition might really cause her to make a scene today. If that happened, the studio


    would only be smashed up. Even if the police came, the damage was already done. And besides, now


    that the coboration had been canceled, there was no way it wouldn’t cause any losses like he had


    said. Seeing that she had spoken, Zoe immediately struck the iron while it was hot, saying, “Yeah,


    that’s right! However busy you are, you’ve got to eat. Now that you’re already here and have helped us


    so much, we’ve got to thank you.” When he heard them say so, he didn’t decline their offer. He nodded


    gently, saying, “Okay.”
