Chapter 175


    Then I Can Refuse to Answer Too The next afternoon, Leanna had just finished eating and was about


    to enter the office when a call from an unknown number appeared on her phone. After her experience


    from the previous day, she looked at her phone and hesitated for a while before picking up without


    saying anything, preparing to hang up as soon as she heard that b*stard’s voiceing from the other


    end. She would never give him a chance to threaten her. Unexpectedly, what she heard was the voice


    of an unfamiliar man. “Hello, Miss McKinney, I’m from the movingpany. Are you at home now?


    We’ve already arrived downstairs at your house.” She was puzzled. “Movingpany? I’m not moving


    at all.”


    “Yes, let me verify again. You’re Leanna, Miss McKinney, right?” She frowned. “Who called you?” “I’m


    sorry, Miss McKinney, it only shows your name, address and contact information.” Leanna fell silent


    before she took a deep breath. “In that case, please wait for me. I’lle back now.” After hanging up,


    she kept her phone and exited her office. Seeing that, Zoe asked, “Nana, where are you going?” “The


    movingpany called me and said that they’re already downstairs, so I’m going back.” “Huh? Let me


    come with you.” Leanna refused. “It’s all right, I’ll go back alone.” A girl was already on leave today and


    another had gone for lunch. If she left, Zoe would be the only one left in the studio. After a moment of


    deliberation, Zoe handed the car keys to her. “All right, go and see what’s going on. If anythinges


    up, just give me a call.”


    “All right.” The studio was not far from her apartment, so Leanna arrived home in just a few minutes.


    When she opened the car door, she saw the movingpany’s car parked nearby. They had also


    spotted her and instantly walked over. “Are you Miss McKinney?” She nodded. The man waved his


    colleague over, who dragged arge box over on a cart. “Miss McKinney, please sign here. We’ll bring


    it up for you.” She asked, “Do you have a de that I can borrow?” “Here.” She used the de to cut


    through the tape around the box. When she saw that it was filled with clothes and not anything


    terrifying, she finally let out a subtle sigh of relief and said, “I’m sorry, these don’t belong to me. Please


    send it back to where you got it from.” The movers clearly didn’t expect this result, and they instantly


    became troubled.


    “Miss McKinney, this is an order sent directly by thepany with orders that it must be delivered to


    you. If we send it back, we’ll be fired.” His colleague piped up, “Miss McKinney, I’m begging you. It’s my


    first day at work, and my sister is still in school. I can’t lose this job.” Leanna’s temples throbbed. This


    method of threatening had that b*stard’s name written all over it. After a few moments of silence, she


    gave in. “Bring it upstairs.” “Thank you, Miss McKinney!” “Miss McKinney, you’re the best!” When she


    returned to the studio, Zoe saw that Leanna lookedpletely exhausted and couldn’t help but ask,


    “Nana, what happened?” She shook her head weakly and forced a smile on her face as she returned


    the car keys to her. “I’m going to continue drafting.” Sitting at her desk, she forced herself to cheer up


    and not easily lose her spirit over some mild difficulties. It was precisely because she knew that b*stard


    was deliberately causing trouble for her in order to make her beg for his mercy that she knew she only


    had to ignore his actions.

    However, she didn’t expect that he would be persistent enough to mail a big box over for several days.


    Soon, theirfortable and slightly spacious apartment was piled with boxes, leaving no room for them


    to even walk. Zoe opened the boxes skillfully and took out a ruby ne, her eyes lighting up at the


    sight. “Wow, I’ve seen this ne at a photography exhibition before. Apparently it’s worth tens of


    millions. How did it get stuffed in a box like this? Is Aidan crazy or am I the one who’s lost my mind?”


    Leanna, who was nestling on the couch, nced up, thinking that the ne seemed a little familiar.


    It was probably during one of her birthdays that Jonathan said it was a gift from one of thepany’s


    clients. Immediately afterward, Zoe found many more treasures from the box. “This earring, this, and


    this… Wow, this coat is a limited edition from a foreign luxury brand!” Zoe looked at the boxes with a


    startled gaze. Apart from the clothes, most of the jewelry inside was given to her from Jonathan who


    either said that they were from thepany’s clients or as part of thepany’s benefits, and she had


    never expected each of them to be so expensive.


    If she had known that, she would’ve taken one or two things away back then so that she wouldn’t be so


    helpless when Aidan asked her to return the money. Sitting next to her, she sighed quietly. “I really


    couldn’t tell that that b*stard would actually be generous enough to give you such pricey gifts.” After a


    moment of deliberation, Leanna picked up her phone before getting up. “Zoe, I’m going to make a


    phone call.” She said through a bite of strawberry, “Go on.” As she walked to the balcony, she found


    Aidan’s number from her blocklist and called him. Within a few seconds, he picked up, and his


    indifferent voice sounded from the other end. “Speak.” She said, “President Pearson, stop sending


    things over. I don’t need any of them.” Hearing that, he paused. “You don’t need them?” “Yes…” Before


    she could finish, he continued, “Leanna, you’re overthinking it. I’m not giving you those things as a


    present, but you were the one who left them at Castor Vi without taking them away.” She was


    rendered speechless. Aidan said, “Since you don’t have the time toe over and take them, is there


    a problem with me asking someone to send them over to you?” After a long while, she only managed to


    squeeze out a word, “No.” He concluded, “That’s good.


    There’s still more left in the closet.” There was a moment of silence before Leanna hurriedly


    interrupted, “President Pearson! President Pearson, I don’t want any of these things. Please give them


    to someone else or something, all right?” “That’s your problem. It has nothing to do with me.” She fell


    silent. See, this b*stard can really hold a grudge. Just as she was about to smash her phone out of


    frustration, he slowly spoke up, “This isn’t a difficult problem to solve.


    You just have to go somewhere with me this weekend.” Leanna scoffed coldly, having expected that he


    had ulterior motives. She rejected, “President Pearson, I have ns this weekend.” “With who?” “A


    friend.” “Which friend?” Leanna’s hands tightened around the window rails. “President Pearson, I don’t


    have the obligation to report everything I do to you.” Aidan scoffed. “When did I ask you to report to


    me? I was just asking you.” “Oh, then I can refuse to answer too.” Her words rendered him speechless.
