Chapter 548


    As soon as Leanna went downstairs the next morning, she heard the doorbell ringing. She thought that


    Aidan was back, so she scurried over to open the door. However, she only found Aidan''s subordinate


    standing outside. The subordinate pushed the suitcase toward her. "President Pearson told me to send


    this to you, Miss McKinney."


    Leanna took the suitcase and thanked him.


    "You''re wee."


    After the subordinate left, Leanna brought the suitcase upstairs and realized that it contained all the


    household items and clothes she used regrly. She couldn''t help but smile. That man is quite


    thoughtful sometimes. Then, she took the items out of the suitcase, washed up, got changed, and left


    the house.


    Not long after she arrived at the Crossley Group, Raymond entered the office and asked, "Are you


    feeling better, Miss McKinney? Do you need to take two more days off?"


    Leanna hadn''t gone to thepany for the past few days, and Freddie only told them that she was ill.


    She replied with a faint smile, "Thanks for your concern. I''m fine."


    Raymond then put down a document on her table. "You''vee at the right time, Miss McKinney.


    Here''s the financial report for this month."


    Leanna flipped through several pages and decided that she would take a proper lookter. She then


    asked, "Did anything happen in thepany over the past few days?"


    "Mr. Onder…"


    Seeing how hesitant Raymond was, Leanna said, "Just tell me right away. What''s wrong with him


    again?"


    Raymond exined, "Mr. Onder is thought to have been involved in a murder case that happened in


    the past. He''s been making a scene for the past few days. Don''t worry, Miss McKinney. The police are


    looking into the matter, and it''s said to be a personal grudge, so it won''t affect the Crossley Group in


    any way."


    Leanna replied, "I got it. Tell Richard toe in."

    Raymond asked hesitantly, "Richard?"


    Leanna looked up at him. "What''s wrong?"


    Raymond shook his head and smiled. "Nothing. I''ll inform him now."


    "Okay."


    Upon reaching the door, Raymond turned to look at Leanna and squinted his eyes. She had been


    assigning the most important tasks to Richard recently, so it was apparent that she had been avoiding


    Raymond.


    All the same, Raymond knew that the tasks given to Richard were mostly about dealing with Jimmy. It


    would be best that he didn''t take part in any of those so that he wouldn''t invite trouble for himself. After


    all, he had been making use of them to deal with Jimmy. Once Jimmy was destroyed, no one else


    could threaten Raymond, and he''d be able to leave this ce as soon as possible.


    Not long after Raymond left, Richard arrived at Leanna''s office. With Jonathan''s help, they acquired


    some evidence regarding Jimmy''s corruption cases. However, it wasn''t enough to make sure Jimmy


    could never get back on his feet.


    Richard spoke up. "Miss McKinney, due to the murder case, Mr. Onder has been scrambling to


    transfer his assets somewhere else. As such, he has exposed many of his wrongdoings. We just have


    to keep looking into the matter. I''m sure we''ll acquire even more evidence."


    Leanna nodded. "Just do as you say. Get a few people to keep an eye on Jessamine and make sure


    Jimmy won''t be able to approach her."


    "Yes, I got it."


    Leanna was drafting a designter that afternoon when the door was kicked open suddenly. Jimmy


    barged in and barked, "You''re finally back at work. I''ll settle the score with you today!"


    An unperturbed Leanna looked up at him. At the same time, Raymond and the other managers were


    trying to stop Jimmy from approaching Leanna. "Calm down, Mr. Onder! We can talk things out!"


    It was obvious that Jimmy was incensed. "Are you telling me to calm down when I''ve been used of


    killing someone? If I do nothing to protect myself, I''ll go to jail in no time!"


    Jimmy pushed them away and adjusted his sleeves. Standing in front of Leanna, hended his palm on


    the table forcefully and pointed at her. "Are you the one who used me of the murder? It must be


    you!"


    Leanna leaned against the chair and refuted, "That''s interesting, Mr. Onder. I wasn''t at work for a few


    days. How was I supposed to use you of anything?"


    "Stop using it as an excuse! Just because you didn''te to work, it doesn''t mean you couldn''t do


    that. You only suffered a concussion from the car ident. It''s not like your brain was damaged or


    something."


    A surprised Leanna stared fixedly at him. "How did you know I was involved in a car ident, Mr.


    Onder?"


    The moment she finished speaking, everyone in the office fell silent. The managers appeared doubtful


    as one of them whispered, "Wasn''t Miss McKinney absent because she was ill? How did it be a


    car ident?"


    Jimmy realized he had blurted out a secret, so he coughed and adjusted his tie. He was no longer as


    arrogant as earlier. He said, "Well, someone told me that."


    "Who was it?"


    Jimmy barked, "How am I supposed to remember? I''m a busy man, and I only heard someone else


    mention it the other day."


    Leanna said with a smile, "I know who told you that."


    A vignt Jimmy questioned, "Who?"


    Instead of replying to his question, Leanna uttered impassively, "What are you trying to achieve, Mr.


    Onder? If there''s nothing else, you may leave now. I still have work to do."


    Jimmy''s expression changed as fury rose within him. "I haven''t settled the score with you for ndering


    me!"


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Onder. We have a fair legal system in the country. You won''t be charged for the


    things you''ve never done," Leanna said slowly. "As for the things you have done, we''ll get to the bottom


    of them sooner orter."


    Since Leanna had found out his secret, Jimmy didn''t dare to continue making a scene. After a snort, he


    turned around and strode out of the office. After the other managers left with Jimmy, the office fell silent


    again.


    Leanna held a pen and tapped it on the table. In the past, she believed that the collision was just an


    ident, but now, it seemed that it was Jimmy''s doing.


    She flipped through the document and realized that other than corruption, Jimmy, who was the


    Crossley Group''s vice president for many years, had been involved in many wrongdoings as well.


    However, ording to Jonathan, there was a huge difference between the money Jimmy embezzled


    and the assets he had been transferring overseas.


    Furthermore, it took Jimmy a lot of money to sustain the connections he had. If he didn''t have those


    connections, it would''ve been easy to destroy him. As such, he must have a bigger source of ie


    from somewhere.


    Leanna ced the document in the lowest drawer and locked it. Then, she picked up the design drafts


    she had been working on and stood up, ready to head to the studio. The moment she left the office,


    Raymond came over and asked, "Are you going out, Miss McKinney?"


    Leanna hummed. "I''m going to the studio."


    "Why don''t I send you there?"


    "There''s no need for that."


    "We heard that you were involved in a car ident. To prevent the same thing from happening again,


    you have to be careful."


    Leanna replied, "I will."


    Hearing that, Raymond stopped insisting as he walked Leanna downstairs. After Leanna was gone, he


    looked around and headed upstairs.
