Chapter 217


    Chapter 217 I’m Not the Problem The station needed time to investigate and collect evidence, so they


    sent Leanna and Louis home, promising to notify them immediately upon any news. It was already dark


    out when they left the police station. “Louis, do you still n to stay at the school after the holidays?”


    Leanna asked. Louis did not answer immediately. After some thought, he responded, “I’ll crash at your


    studio from tomorrow onward.” “Huh?” She was taken aback by his answer for a moment before


    returning to her senses. He must be worried about me because of what has happened recently. “It’s


    fine. No onees to look for trouble anymore. I’m worried for you. How about I rent you a ce


    outside during the holidays?” “There’s no need. I can rent it myself.” Hearing this, sheughed and


    said, “Isn’t it the same thing?” Louis stretched his neck as he replied, “I can make my own money now.”


    Smiling, she did not pester him about the topic any further. Instead, she merely asked, “Where are you


    going to rent? I’lle with you to check out the ce tomorrow morning.” “It’s okay. I’ve seen it


    already.” Two hourster, Daniel opened the door and looked at the two people standing outside with


    surprise. “What are you doing here?” Leanna rubbed her nose and replied, “Sorry for bothering you, but


    my brother here is on winter vacation and is currently looking for a ce to rent. I just wanna ask if you


    have a spare room here.” “About that…” “I’ll pay the rent,” Louis immediately piped up. “That’s not the


    case, kid. It’s not about the rent.” Daniel thought for a long time to cook up an excuse. “I grew up


    abroad, and some of my personal habits and tastes may differ from yours. I’m afraid it’ll make you feel


    ufortable, so it’s best if—” “It’s fine. I like canned food too.” Daniel was at a loss for words. That


    was the worst excuse he had ever made in his life. When Leanna saw Louis pulling his suitcase in, she


    closed the door and apologized, “Daniel, I’m so sorry, but something happened to me recently and my


    brother is worried. That’s why he’s here to live with you. Don’t worry. I’ll convince him to move


    elsewhere as soon as possible.” Hearing this, Daniel immediately pulled back his thoughts and asked,


    “What happened, Miss McKinney? Do you need my help?” “It’s not a big deal and it’s almost resolved


    anyway. Again, I’m really sorry about this.” “Since that’s the case, your lil’ brother can live here in


    peace. You don’t have to pay rent. We should help each other as neighbors.” “I’m sorry for troubling


    you again. If you don’t mind, you cane over to our ce to eat at any time in the future,” Leanna


    suggested. “If that’s the case, I’ll definitely take advantage of that.”


    Then, Daniel looked back. “Miss McKinney, I’ll take your brother to the guest room first. We’ll talk more


    next time.” “All right. Thank you.” After closing the door behind him, he walked to the living room and


    pointed at the two rooms to Louis. “You can choose any of those two rooms.” Louis nodded. “Thank


    you.” Then, he quickly added, “I won’t use anything in your house, nor will I evade your privacy. I’ll live


    here for, at most, a month. As an apology, you can get me to do anything for you.” Daniel sat on the


    couch with his hands in his pockets and said with a smile, “You can skip the courtesies. Since we’re


    living here together, treat this as your own ce. Quickly unpack your stuff.” Hearing this, Louis nodded


    again with appreciation. “Thank you.” Ten minutester, he came out of the guest bedroom. Daniel took


    a can of beer from the fridge and threw it to Louis. “Are you on a break now? How was your exam?” “It


    was all right.” “Thest time I heard, you did well in your studies. It seems like you’re just being modest


    now.” Louis chewed on his bottom lips and said nothing. Daniel sat across from him and opened his


    own can of beer. “May I ask if your sister has been in any trouble recently?” “Someone deliberately


    went to her studio to make a scene.”


    “Do you think that they’ll do it again?” “Possibly.” Louis’ thin lips pursed slightly. “They even found me.


    Although their n failed this time, they’ll definitely make another move.” Surprised by the bridge of


    events, Daniel paused before asking, “In your family… Is there anyone else besides you and your


    sister? I don’t recall her bringing it up.” “No.” Louis looked indifferent. Catching the hint that Louis did


    not want to dive further into the topic, Daniel rose up and changed the topic. “I’m going out. You can


    use whatever you want in this house.” Before he left, he informed Louis the lock code. … At


    Constetion Tech, Daniel stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Elijah’s face. “I’m talking to


    you. Are you listening?” Elijah was still a little dazed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “What did


    you say?” “I said, what’s happening to Leanna is very weird. Have you gone to find out what’s going


    on?” “I did, but I didn’t find much.” “Things aren’t as simple as they seem. Leanna is just a girl; she


    couldn’t have offended anyone,” Daniel uttered slowly.


    Once Elijah got over his initial shock, he finally understood what Daniel meant. “Are you saying that the


    person these people are trying to threaten is actually Aidan?” “It’s just one of my guesses.” Daniel


    tapped his fingers on the armrest of the couch and squinted his eyes. “The fact that Aidan canceled the


    marriage must have disgraced the Crossley Family to a certain extent. It’s not impossible for them to try


    and use Leanna as their punching bag now.” “Do you think it’s possible that Lloyd did this?” “The


    possibility of that is high. I’ll test Georgina again in the next few days. We’ll see what she has to say.”


    After hearing that, Elijah kept quiet and lowered his head while lost in his thoughts. When Daniel


    noticed his strange expression, he could not help but ask, “What’s wrong with you today?” Elijah shook


    his head. “Nothing. Maybe I just didn’t get a good sleepst night.” “I also heard that Georgina may be


    engaged to Justin.” “Justin, as in… Aidan’s brother?” Daniel hummed. “But it’s not confirmed yet. I still


    can’t figure out why Lloyd would put forward such a request at this time. Theoretically, we have not


    done anything. Isn’t he reacting a little too hastily?” Elijah nced at him and teased, “Perhaps he


    thinks you’re unreliable.” Speechless, Daniel rebuked in an affirmed tone, “I don’t think the problem lies


    with me.” Elijah remained silent. “Something must have happened that scared him, or maybe he had a


    sense of urgency. That’s why he proposed such a thing to the Pearson Family in order to stabilize the


    current situation.”


    As soon as Daniel finished talking, his phone rang. It was a call from Georgina. Then, he shook the


    phone before Elijah. “See? I’m not the problem.” “You should think about how to stop Georgina from


    marrying into the Pearson Family. Although Aidan holds all the power in the Pearson Family now, once


    they get married, it might not be as easy for us to follow our n,” Elijah stated. However, Daniel


    seemed carefree as heughed. “Don’t worry, Georgina prides herself very highly. There is no way that


    she’d marry Justin.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
