Chapter 406
When Leanna arrived at the hospital, she stopped a nurse and asked where Elliot was. After thanking
her, she shuffled in that direction.
When Leanna arrived at the hospital, she stopped a nurse and asked where Elliot was. After thanking
her, she shuffled in that direction.
Meanwhile, the police were talking to Elliot in the ward. Seeing that, Leanna decided to wait outside the
room. Only after the police left the ce 20 minutester did she knock on the door. Elliot said
impatiently, “I’ve told you everything. What else—”
He caught himself when he saw Leanna appearing at the door. The impatience on his face vanished as
he squinted his eyes and asked cautiously, “Why are you here?”
Leanna replied, “I’m here to ask you something.”
“It’s about the designers’petition, right?” Elliot questioned. “Everything I’ve said is true. I’d helped
her cheat in thepetition, and she’d bribed the judges.”
Leanna smiled and sat down on the couch. “There’s one thing I don’t understand, though. Given
Queenie’s background, making you help her cheat in thepetition was already the best she could
do. How did she bribe the judges?”
Faced with her doubt, Elliot was unflustered as he had already prepared an excuse. “You’re also aware
that her mentor is Robert, who is on good terms with the judges. Moreover, he was determined to let
Queenie win so as not to embarrass him. It wasn’t hard for him to bribe the judges for her sake.”
“Just like what you’ve said, Robert was determined to help Queenie win. Then, why would he tell you
that he’d bribed the judges?”
Her question surprised Elliot, but he soon came up with an excuse. “I overheard it. There are no
secrets in the world that could be kept forever, are there?”
Leanna continued, “Are you also going to tell me that Queenie has decided to kill you because she’s
found out that you’re aware of the bribery?”
Elliot still hadn’t found a good excuse for that. Hearing her words, he yed along by saying, “Right,
right, right. That’s exactly the reason. That woman has gone mad for wanting to be famous, so
she did something so despicable. You should’ve been the winner. I feel sorry for you.”
Leanna arched her brow as she had no idea how much truth there was in his words.
A momentter, she decided to cut to the chase, asking, “Do you remember what the attacker looked
like?”
The police had asked Elliot the same question earlier. He narrowed his eyes and questioned doubtfully,
“Why do you want to know?”
When Leonno orrived ot the hospitol, she stopped o nurse ond osked where Elliot wos. After thonking
her, she shuffled in thot direction.
Meonwhile, the police were tolking to Elliot in the word. Seeing thot, Leonno decided to woit outside the
room. Only ofter the police left the ploce 20 minutes loter did she knock on the door. Elliot soid
impotiently, “I’ve told you everything. Whot else—”
He cought himself when he sow Leonno oppeoring ot the door. The impotience on his foce vonished os
he squinted his eyes ond osked coutiously, “Why ore you here?”
Leonno replied, “I’m here to osk you something.”
“It’s obout the designers’petition, right?” Elliot questioned. “Everything I’ve soid is true. I’d helped
her cheot in thepetition, ond she’d bribed the judges.”
Leonno smiled ond sot down on the couch. “There’s one thing I don’t understond, though. Given
Queenie’s bockground, moking you help her cheot in thepetition wos olreody the best she could
do. How did she bribe the judges?”
Foced with her doubt, Elliot wos unflustered os he hod olreody prepored on excuse. “You’re olso owore
thot her mentor is Robert, who is on good terms with the judges. Moreover, he wos determined to let
Queenie win so os not to emborross him. It wosn’t hord for him to bribe the judges for her soke.”
“Just like whot you’ve soid, Robert wos determined to help Queenie win. Then, why would he tell you
thot he’d bribed the judges?”
Her question surprised Elliot, but he soone up with on excuse. “I overheord it. There ore no
secrets in the world thot could be kept forever, ore there?”
Leonno continued, “Are you olso going to tell me thot Queenie hos decided to kill you becouse she’s
found out thot you’re owore of the bribery?”
Elliot still hodn’t found o good excuse for thot. Heoring her words, he ployed olong by soying, “Right,
right, right. Thot’s exoctly the reoson. Thot womon hos gone mod for wonting to be fomous, so
she did something so despicoble. You should’ve been the winner. I feel sorry for you.”
Leonno orched her brow os she hod no ideo how much truth there wos in his words.
A moment loter, she decided to cut to the chose, osking, “Do you remember whot the ottocker looked
like?”
The police hod osked Elliot the some question eorlier. He norrowed his eyes ond questioned doubtfully,
“Why do you wont to know?”
Left with no choice, Leanna exined impassively, “Queenie had repeatedly tried to harm me back
then. I want to find out whether the person who attacked you is also the one who harmed me.”
Elliot never doubted her, for all the designers knew that she and Queenie were on bad terms. One just
had to ask around to find out what Queenie had done during her tenure at Lux.
Thinking they were on the same boat, Elliot replied, “He was wearing a hat, so I couldn’t make out his
face. But…”
He furrowed his brows, as though trying to recall the man’s appearance.
“Is there a scar on his face that runs from the corner of his left eye to his chin?”
Upon her reminder, Elliot dipped his head. “Right, right, right. There’s indeed a scar on his face.”
After getting the answer, Leanna decided to leave as she rose from the couch.
Elliot called out, “If you want to know anything about Queenie, just look for me. I’ll tell you everything I
know.”
Hearing that, Leanna turned to look at him. “Consider yourself lucky that you survived.”
Then, she left the ce directly.
As Elliot watched her leave, he snorted and fished out his new phone from beneath the pillow. Then, he
essed the file on the cloud and grinned. With this, I can destroy Queenie.

…
After leaving the hospital, Leanna got into her car and drove toward the main road, but she was a little
absent-minded.
All the evidence suggested that Ron was the one who had assaulted Elliot. In other words, he had
probably escaped from Lloyd’s confinement.
But where is he? If I want to find out Jethro’s whereabouts, I must get to Ron.
At the thought of this, Leanna stepped on the brake and steered the car around.
…
Presently, Queenie was getting probed at the police station. Regardless of what the police said, she
denied hiring someone to attack Elliot.
Moreover, the surveince footage from the hotel and the fingerprint left behind at the scene didn’t
point to her.
Nevertheless, she was a suspect, so she couldn’t leave the police station directly. Someone had to bail
her out. She called Robert, who soon hung up on her. Are you kidding me?! She recalled the number
only to hear dull beeping noises that indicated that the call didn’t go through.
A displeased Queenie subsequently made several calls, but she was still unable to reach the man.
She bit her lip. Left with no choice, she could only contact one of her family members. However, the
person who was supposed to pick up her call was already dead. Unable to contact anyone for help, she
finally broke down and smashed the phone into the wall.
As the phone dropped to the floor, a figure came into her sight. Leanna looked at her with a calm
expression, her gaze cold.
…
Queenie had never expected that when there was no one to help her, Leanna would be the one who
bailed her out. After leaving the police station, Leanna stopped in her tracks and turned to her. “I’ll only
ask you one question.”
Queenie clenched her fists and remained silent.
“Where’s Ron?” Leanna demanded.
A momentter, Queenie replied, “I… don’t know.”
Leanna replied with a sneer, “I can go back in any moment and tell the police that Ron was the one
who had assaulted Elliot. Do you think you’ll still be able to leave the police station by then?”
Queenie stiffened, and her face was transformed by fear. She bit her lip out of nervousness. “I… don’t
know. That day, I’d told him not to look for me again.”
Leanna scoffed. “He’s helped you a lot. Is this how you treat him?”
“It’s not like there’s anything I can do about it. We’re from different worlds, after all. Furthermore, he
knew that some people were tailing him, and he still looked for me despite knowing that he might put
me in danger.” Queenie was increasingly agitated. “Also, what help has he offered anyway? He
couldn’t even deal with Elliot. Look what’s happened to me now. It’s all his fault!”
“You’re good ating up with excuses, aren’t you? Don’t you think that there’s a problem with you?”
With reddened eyes, Queenie roared, “What’s the point of you mocking me now?! I admit that I’d
cheated in the designers’petition. However, many people loathe you. Do you think you’ll be the
winner after destroying me?”
