Chapter 64


    Since the manager didn''t know how to answer Aidan, he hesitated for a long time. Not only that, he


    was also confused as to why Aidan would take care of this matter. Didn''t he also ask me the same


    questionst time? He knew Louis needed money, yet he didn''t say anything that time—


    When Aidan saw the manager''s reaction, his facial expression was as cold as ice. It was at that


    moment he knew he didn''t have to ask further because his suspicion had been proven right. "Get out."


    "Yes. Yes."


    Feeling as if he had taken a trip to hell and barely came back from the dead, the manager breathed a


    sigh of relief and fled.


    Once the door of the private room was closed, Oscar asked, "Did your brother-inw sell his admission


    notice?"


    With an unreadable expression, Aidan looked over and sent him death res.


    At once, Oscar changed his words and corrected them rigorously. "Your ex-wife''s younger brother."


    Retracting the gaze heid upon Oscar, Aidan then poured himself a ss of wine. After that, he said


    calmly, "It''s none of my business."


    Upon hearing that, Oscar couldn''t help but snort. Tsk! Like I will believe that! If it''s none of his business,


    why will he seek Patheon Club''s manager out of his mere guess?


    At this moment, Jonathan knocked on the door and came in. "President Pearson, Ma—Miss


    McKinney''s father followed us here. He kept shouting that he wanted to see you, saying that the


    creditor limits him to repay the money within three days."


    Without even bothering to look up, Aidan yelled with an indifferent tone, "Make him leave!"


    "Yes."


    With that, Jonathan left. Once again, the door of the private room was closed. Aidan clenched his


    knuckled fingers into a fist, and his handsome facial features seemed to have been covered with a thin


    layer of frost, making people unable toprehend his emotions. "Don''t tell me you still think I like her,


    do you?"


    As Oscar thought he had heard it wrong, he was stunned. "What?"


    "Three years ago, she gave up the opportunity to go to Aeras for money. Three yearster, her brother


    gave up the admission letter for money. Tell me: what''s there for me to like in mercenary people like


    them?"


    "But—they had their reasons, right?"


    Upon hearing that, Aidan sneered, "Regardless of the reason, it still can''t change the fact that they


    have given up on their own future. Still, they expect us to take pity on them?"


    …


    At home, Leanna hung up the phone, and Zoe came over with snacks. With her face full of envy, she


    said, "That''s great. I also want to have a younger brother who is a provincial champion. At least I can


    still rely on my younger brother in the future if I can''t depend on men. So what did Louis say to you on


    the phone?"


    Leanna smiled. "He said that he''ll start his college life tomorrow, and then he''ll have military training for


    half a month. So he asks me to take care of myself."


    "Oh, that''s right. I totally forgot that young men of Louis'' age are required to undergo military training


    ording to Highside''s governmentalw. Man, that will be a total nightmare." Zoe thought for a while.


    "If not, let''s see Louis off at the college tomorrow. We can take a good look at his college. Plus, we can


    also check if there are any handsome men in his dormitory."


    Upon hearing that, Leanna looked at Zoe, feeling speechless at herst sentence. She stayed silent for


    a while before saying, "Forget it. Louis doesn''t want us to go."


    Lying on her bed, Zoe added, "Yeah, you''re right. Just like you, his personality can be really stubborn


    sometimes. Let''s visit some other times when we have the chance."


    After a while, Leanna asked softly, "Did Anthony look for you recently?"


    "I blocked his contact information a long time ago. My guess will be he''s now having a good time with


    that b*tch, Jete, right now. I wish for them to keep lovey-dovey with each other, always keep each


    otherpany, and not be able to die a natural death."


    Shocked at Zoe''sst part of the speech, Leanna was silent for a while. After that, she said, "If—


    Anthony''s mother invites you to attend her birthday banquet, will you go?"


    Upon hearing that, Zoe sneered, "Of course, I''ll go! Not only that, I''m going to tell his mother what kind


    of a lowlife she had been raising in front of his rtives and friends. Then, I''ll print the things the two


    did on a flyer and give out a copy to each and every rtive and friend present."


    Once again, Leanna was speechless at the words that escaped Zoe''s lips.


    Letting out a sigh, she thought to herself, Forget it. Here I thought I could at least get some meaningful


    advice from Zoe. Well, her words possess no reference value for me at all. Besides, Sienna''s attitude is


    very oppressive this time. I don''t think I can just ditch the invitation even if I want to. Sigh. I guess that''s


    just how things function in their family, habitually criticizing others from a subjective perspective and


    habitually forcing others to do things they don''t like to do at the same time. Perhaps the world of the


    rich is in unreasonable and self-centered.


    The next afternoon, Leanna was drawing her design when she received an unfamiliar number. "Miss


    McKinney, I''m here to pick you up to attend her birthday party on the order of Madam. Do you want to


    go downstairs by yourself, or do I go upstairs to fetch you?"


    Pursing her lips, Leanna said, "I''lle down by myself. Wait a moment."


    "Yes, Miss McKinney."


    After hanging up the phone, she looked at the untouched envelope on the table. Taking a deep breath,


    she then got up and left.


    Downstairs, the middle-aged man nced at Leanna from top to bottom. "Miss McKinney, are you just


    going to wear this to the party?"


    At the moment, Leanna wore loose clothes and put on some light makeup out of courtesy. Upon


    hearing the man''s question, she said, "I''m just going to go and wish Mrs. Pearson a happy birthday. I''ll


    leave as soon as I return this thing to her. "


    With that, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and opened the car door for her without further words.


    Sienna''s birthday party was held in the Pearson Family Estate. The atmosphere in the estate was


    different from the deserted atmosphere in the past. On that day, there were a lot of luxury cars parked


    on the estate. With the arrival of various guests, the ce instantly became boisterous.


    When they arrived, Leanna got out of the car. Looking at the ce that was ipatible with her, she


    lowered her eyes and looked down.


    She turned around, only to find that the middle-aged man who drove her here had disappeared.


    Left alone, she could only meet Sienna when she passed through this courtyard where the honorable


    guests gathered.


    At this point, Leanna already understood the real meaning behind Sienna''s invitation. Is this her


    purpose for inviting me over to her party? So in her perspective, she believes that I''ll only stop getting


    my hands on the things that don''t belong to me after I witness the social gap between me and them?


    Did she honestly forget that I was once married to Aidan?


    Not only that, she strongly believes that my conscience will be awakened with every step I take into the


    house today. But little does she know, I have always been rational, and there''s nothing going on


    between Zayn and me. What she does humiliates me!


    Thinking of that, Leanna clenched her hands into fists and walked in step by step.


    The guests around were all dressed up. Seeing her dressed like this, many people looked at her and


    discussed the topic in a low voice. Some of these people recognized her as Aidan''s wife, while some


    didn''t know who she was.


    After walking through the courtyard, Leanna stopped and stood by the door, pursing her lips slightly.


    At this moment, a gentle male voice suddenly came from behind her. "Leanna."


    Upon hearing the voice, Leanna turned her head. "Mr. Pearson."


    Smiling lightly, Justin approached her in his wheelchair. "Did youe here with Aidan?"


    Leanna shook her head. "I''m here to find Mrs. Pearson."


    Upon hearing that, Justin felt a little surprised.


    Out of the blue, Leanna took out the envelope from her bag. "Thank goodness I stumbled upon you


    here. Can you please pass this on to Mrs. Pearson for me? I''m not going in."


    "Uh—" Justin didn''t reach out to take the envelope. Instead, he simply asked, "Did my mother ever look


    for you? Was it because of Anna?"


    "Yes, Zayn and I are just friends and nothing else. It''s really unnecessary for Mrs. Pearson to treat me


    like this." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Looking around, Justin gradually said, "You rarelye here, so why the rush? Stay a while longer,


    and push me to the back for a walk."


    Seeing that he had made such requests, Leanna had no choice but to put the envelope into her bag


    again. Then, she pushed Justin to the back garden.


    The farther they made their way toward the garden, the fewer people there were.


    Suddenly, Justin said, "I''m guessing you must be feeling very curious as to why my mother didn''t


    oppose the marriage when you married Aidanst time, yet she keeps making your life difficult because


    of the marriage affairs between Anna and Zayn."
