Meanwhile, in Leanna’s room, after she got out of the shower, shey down on her bed and soon fell

Meanwhile, in Leanna’s room, after she got out of the shower, shey down on her bed and soon fell
asleep. On the other hand, the servant waited downstairs all night for her, but the servant didn’t see her
descend the stairs.
The following morning, Leanna woke upter than usual. When she went downstairs, Georgina was
having her breakfast. Leanna smiled upon seeing her and said, “Good morning, Miss Crossley.”
Georgina gave Leanna an icy stare while ignoring her greeting.
Then, the servant who had been standing by the side quickly retreated.
Leanna advanced two steps before retracing her steps. “By the way, when I returned homest night, I
noticed Mr. Crossley’s study door was open. I think you should close it in case something goes
missing.”
As she sipped her ss of milk, Georgina said indifferently, “Dad has traveled abroad and will not
return for several days. Perhaps, he forgot to close the door before leaving.” After that, she gave her
another nce. “The only other people here besides us are the servants. Do you believe anyone would
attempt to steal from his room?”
Leanna kept her grin permanently affixed to her face. “You should know better.” With that, she turned
around and left.
With a stony expression, Georgina mmed the ss of milk down on the table. As it turned out,
Leanna was more intelligent than Georgina had anticipated. How could Leanna resist doing something
she’d always wanted to do? Nheless, Georgina had other ns to force her to leave Crossley
Residence.
Leanna had just stepped out of the house and was about to hail a cab when she spotted her Porsche
parked on the shoulder of the road. Then, Aidan’s subordinate stepped out of the car and informed her,
“Miss McKinney, President Pearson instructed me to have the car delivered to you.”
“Thanks.”
After getting inside the vehicle, Leanna turned around to cast a sidelong nce in the direction of the
Crossley Residence, then averted her gaze and drove away.
Since Lloyd’s study room is always locked, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that it contains
confidential and significant information. In addition to his cautious nature, it is inconceivable that he
would forget something as substantial as locking the door. Moreover, he is still on a business trip and
will be away for several days. I feel like Georgina has set a trap for me to walk into, but only the naive
will fall for it.
Meanwhile, Leanna hadpleted several orders over the previous few days, which reduced her
workload significantly and allowed her to rx. She pulled out her phone when she entered the studio
and started mindlessly browsing through Violet’s Twitter feed.
Meonwhile, in Leonno’s room, ofter she got out of the shower, she loy down on her bed ond soon fell
osleep. On the other hond, the servont woited downstoirs oll night for her, but the servont didn’t see her
descend the stoirs.
The following morning, Leonno woke up loter thon usuol. When she went downstoirs, Georgino wos
hoving her breokfost. Leonno smiled upon seeing her ond soid, “Good morning, Miss Crossley.”
Georgino gove Leonno on icy store while ignoring her greeting.
Then, the servont who hod been stonding by the side quickly retreoted.
Leonno odvonced two steps before retrocing her steps. “By the woy, when I returned home lost night, I
noticed Mr. Crossley’s study door wos open. I think you should close it in cose something goes
missing.”
As she sipped her gloss of milk, Georgino soid indifferently, “Dod hos troveled obrood ond will not
return for severol doys. Perhops, he forgot to close the door before leoving.” After thot, she gove her
onother glonce. “The only other people here besides us ore the servonts. Do you believe onyone would
ottempt to steol from his room?”
Leonno kept her grin permonently
With o stony expression, Georgino slommed the gloss of milk down on the toble. As it turned out,
Leonno wos more intelligent thon Georgino hod onticipoted. How could Leonno resist doing something

porked on the shoulder of the rood. Then, Aidon’s subordinote stepped out of the cor ond informed her,
“Miss McKinney, President Peorson instructed me to hove the cor delivered to you.”
“Thonks.”
After getting inside the vehicle, Leonno turned oround to cost o sidelong glonce in the direction of the
Crossley Residence, then overted her goze ond drove owoy.

would forget something os substontiol os locking the door. Moreover, he is still on o business trip ond

will foll for it.
Meonwhile, Leonno hodpleted severol orders over the previous few doys, which reduced her
worklood significontly ond ollowed her to relox. She pulled out her phone when she entered the studio
ond storted mindlessly browsing through Violet’s Twitter feed.
Violet’s personality was the pr opposite of Georgina’s. She loved posting about every aspect of her
life on social media tforms, and she would do so regardless of whether she was traveling abroad or
having afternoon tea with her closest friends.
Although there was no evidence from the organizer that the two judges epted bribes from Violet,
Leanna had no choice but to drop the matter, but she would not give up without a fight.
As she scrolled through Violet’s page, she found nothing of interest and put down her Zoe entered her
room and sat down on the couch. “Nana, do you remember my friend Jamie Collin?”
After giving it some thought, Leanna asked, “The
“Yes! That’s when President Pearson joined us.”
Leanna nodded. “Yeah, I do. Why?”
This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Zoe replied, “She texted me stating that Violet nned to celebrate her birthday with a grand party this
weekend. Jamie is among the many guests who have been invited. She said the event would be
spectacr and asked if I wished to attend. Do you think this is a wonderful opportunity?”
Leanna arched her brow as she the opportunity to present itself so soon.
Zoe noticed Leanna’s expression and inquired, “Shall I
“Nah. I’ll go on my own when the timees,” said Leanna.
“How do you n to attend?” questioned Zoe.
Leanna grinned. “Doesn’t all she wanted for her birthday be a fun-filled celebration? I will bring her a
massive gift. She’s not going to stop me from attending, is she?”
Zoe began to wonder what sort of massive gift Leanna would prepare.
…
Soon, it was the weekend. Since Violet was the only girl in her family, and it was her 21st birthday, the
celebration was particrly extravagant. In addition to inviting some well-known celebrities, daughters
of wealthy families, and a few acquaintances, her father also invited many prominent business figures.
However, he did not anticipate receiving a gift from Pearson Group the night before Violet’s birthday.
When he realized how expensive the gift was, he reasoned that Aidan was trying to smooth things over
in light of the past events that had ced the two families in an awkward situation. So, he quickly
extended an invitation to Aidan.
Violet was so ecstatic to have received the gift that she immediately posted a tweet about it on Twitter
to show off. Hence, she paid for the promoted trends and tweeted that Pearson Group’s president
would spend a substantial amount to impress a beauty.
Manyizens were taken aback by the tweet’s shocking content.
‘Can you please exin to me what is happening?’
‘Good graciousness! How can something with only a thousand views and a few hundred tweets trend in
the top five? If she has the money, she should get stic surgery.’
‘Huh! Can someone please tell me who this woman is?’
‘I believe she’s the Kramer Family’s darling daughter. I overheard a friend mentioning that tomorrow
was her birthday and that she had invited many people, including some reporters, to make it appear as
though they were holding a press conference. Nheless, isn’t it obvious that she paid to promote the
trend? Unfortunately, nobody has ever heard of her.’
‘Haha! What do you mean that President Pearson is trying to impress a beauty? Didn’t he just give her
a present under thepany’s name? I genuinely wonder what goes through Miss Kramer’s head.’
‘Exactly. What is meant by “impress a beauty”? Surely McK is more attractive than she is, right? I doubt
President Pearson is interested in Miss Kramer unless he ispletely blind.’
‘I agree! This woman does not evene close to having McK’s personality. To put it bluntly, I can’t
fathom the mindset of the affluent.’
Everyone who followed the trend criticized Violet, and some evenpared her to Leanna to show
how shecked Leanna’s appearance and temperament. As soon as she saw that, she immediately
became enraged, and immediately after that, she demanded that the trend be deleted. Leanna,
Leanna, and more Leanna. It’s always that vixen!
The following day, Violet made arrangements with a team of hairstylists and makeup artists to make
her look as stunning as possible. She was already prepared with the appropriate caption to apany
the post she would maketer. Isn’t Leanna just a vixen? How can she be better than me?
Soon, night came. When Violet arrived at the hotel, she first went to the area designated for the media
to take some photographs. Afterward, she approached the exquisitely decked-out birthday party setup
and requested that her photographer take additional photographs of her in that setting.
At that moment, many guests also arrived. They all couldn’t help butpliment her when they saw
her, “Oh, Violet! You look gorgeous!”
She let out a snort and then continued to strike a pose. “Of course I am!”
Suddenly, another voice chimed in, “Exactly. Violet is the daughter of the Kramers. She’d undoubtedly
look more beautiful than pheasants who try hard to be a phoenix.”
