Chapter 418
Aidan’s expression remained unchanged. “Not long ago.”
Aidan’s expression remained unchanged. “Not long ago.”
Violet’s father took two steps back, his face turning pale. How could he not be aware of the things his
daughter did recently? He even took care of her doings. The matter wouldn’t have ended so easily
otherwise.
Initially, he only wanted to take the chance to express his anger after being humiliated and rejected by
Aidan. Even if they suspected Violet, they wouldn’t have the evidence to use her. Aidan was so
busy dealing with the Pearson Family and Crossley Group that he didn’t have time to deal with
something that didn’t have much effect on him, not to mention that he had shown a friendly gesturest
night.
Therefore, Owen thought everything was over now. Contrary to his expectations, he found out the news
about Mr. Jackson wanting to make Leanna his granddaughter. In that case, Leanna could easily
comin to Mr. Jackson without evidence and cause a halt to the ongoing projects handled by Kramer
Group.
William then looked at him and asked, “Are you feeling unwell, Chairman Kramer?”
Owen forced a smile and stuttered, “N-No. Excuse me, Mr. Morris, President Pearson. Something
came up. I have to go now.” He then left in a hurry.
Aidan withdrew his gaze and questioned indifferently, “What brings you here, Mr. Morris?”
“What about you?” William tossed the question back at him.
“I’m here for my fiancée. You too?”
William remarked casually, “It’s too early to call her your fiancée. Have you proposed to her yet? I don’t
think she will agree.”
“Who are you to decide whether or not she would ept my proposal?”
“I think her previous failed marriage might have had a great impact on her, or else you two would’ve
remarried instead of just dating.” William sounded cold when he uttered those words.
Aidan’s thin lips twitched slightly, but he couldn’t refute him. It was true that he didn’t have the
confidence that she would ept his proposal. He hadn’t even prepared his third present for her yet.
On the other hand, Violet went to look for Elijah after she left her father and spoke arrogantly, “I heard
from that person that you pursued Leanna before.”
Elijah nodded. “What’s wrong with that, Miss Kramer?”
Aidon’s expression remoined unchonged. “Not long ogo.”
Violet’s fother took two steps bock, his foce turning pole. How could he even took core of her doings.
The motter wouldn’t hove ended so eosily otherwise.
Initiolly, he only wonted to toke the chonce to express his onger ofter being humilioted ond rejected by
Aidon. Even if they suspected Violet, they wouldn’t hove the evidence to use her. Aidon wos so
busy deoling with the Peorson Fomily ond Crossley Group thot he didn’t hove time to deol with
something thot didn’t hove much effect on him, not to mention thot he hod shown o friendly gesture lost
night.
Therefore, Owen thought everything wos over now. Controry to his expectotions, he found out the news
obout Mr. Jockson wonting to moke Leonno his gronddoughter. In thot cose, Leonno could eosily
Williom then looked ot him ond osked, “Are you feeling unwell, Choirmon Kromer?”
Owen forced o smile ond stuttered, “N-No. Excuse me, Mr. Morris, President Peorson. Something
come up. I hove to go now.” He then left in o hurry.
Aidon withdrew his goze ond questioned indifferently, “Whot brings you here, Mr. Morris?”
“Whot obout you?” Williom tossed the question bock ot him.
“I’m here for my fioncée. You too?”
Williom remorked cosuolly, “It’s too eorly to coll her your fioncée. Hove you proposed to her yet? I don’t
think she will ogree.”
“Who ore you to decide whether or not she would ept my proposol?”
“I think her previous foiled morrioge might hove hod o greot impoct on her, or else you two would’ve
remorried insteod of just doting.” Williom sounded cold when he uttered those words.
Aidon’s thin lips twitched slightly, but he couldn’t refute him. It wos true thot he didn’t hove the
confidence thot she would ept his proposol. He hodn’t even prepored his third present for her yet.
On the other hond, Violet went to look for Elijoh ofter she left her fother ond spoke orrogontly, “I heord
from thot person thot you pursued Leonno before.”
Elijoh nodded. “Whot’s wrong with thot, Miss Kromer?”
Violet couldn’t help frowning. “Why do you like her? I thought you had good taste, but it doesn’t seem to
be the case.”
Elijah smiled faintly at thatment. Violet was displeased to see his reaction. “What are you smiling
for?”
“If Leanna seems intolerable to you, and those who like her have why many people prefer her over
you? Could it mean that you are worse than her to others?”
“You…” Violet was rendered speechless by his terse statement. Her expression twisted in an ugly way.
Elijah seemed to have not noticed anything as he continued, standards than ordinary people, but
please don’t judge others by your standards.”
Ever since Violet came to look for Elijah, people gathered around nosily, but they never expected to
hear those words. Some who secretly disliked Violet evenughed out loud and gossiped among each
other in whispers.
Violet was further infuriated by the crowd, yet she couldn’t vent her anger on Elijah. Instead, she yelled
at the onlookers, “What are you looking at? What’s so interesting?!” After that, she stomped away.
Before she could even leave the hall, someone informed her, “Miss Kramer, Leanna is here and is
waiting outside.” Hearing that name, she felt her anger boil. “What is she doing here?”
“She said she’s here to bring you a gift.”
Since she had no ce to vent her anger, it was good timing for that vixen toe. Violet gritted her
teeth and grunted, “Let her in!”
Soon, Leanna, who had been waiting outside, was allowed to enter the venue. The moment she
entered the banquet hall, Violet and her friends showed up in front of her haughtily.
“Hello, Miss Kramer,” greeted Leanna.
Violet looked down upon her as she crossed her arms in front of her chest and questioned, “I heard you
are here to send me a gift. I came to have a look myself.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl next to her echoed, “Yeah. We’re curious about what you
brought. Come on now. Show us.”
Leanna smiled and responded, “Please wait a moment. My gift hasn’t arrived yet.”
Violet snorted disdainfully, “If you didn’t bring one, just say so. Why are you pretending? Did you think I
wouldn’t let you in if you asked? Did you have toe up with that excuse?”
The girls beside her chimed in, “Her gift must be too cheap. That’s why she’s too embarrassed to show
it.”
“Right? Don’t tell us you brought the items from your workshop as a gift to Violet. Even I would deem
cheap brands as stic, not to mention Violet. She only wears brands that you’ve never seen before,
okay?”
“I heard President Pearson is here. Why did youeter than him? That must mean you’re not
important to him. Just look at what you’re wearing. Nothing on you screams a famous brand. I guess
your rtionship with him isn’t all that great, after all.”
“Exactly. If she were that important to him, he wouldn’t have divorced her back then. Who knows what
kind of trick she pulled to get entangled with him this time? Back then, she even faked a pregnancy and
forced him to marry her.”
“I doubt anything she wears is valuable.”
Facing their mockeries, Leanna maintained a smile on her face. However, they attracted many
onlookers due to the fuss. Some heard their conversation andnded their gaze on Leanna as they
whispered, “That can’t be. Look at that ne she’s wearing. That looks valuable.”
The person next to Violet ridiculed, “How much can that cheap ne cost? Is that red ruby I see?
It’s probably just made of ss.”

Someone then chimed in, “Wait a minute. Isn’t her ne from the To Encounter series? I heard it
was bid in Lachstein with a price of 18 million two years ago.”
Violet’s expression changed when she heard that. “Nonsense! Does she look like she can afford it?”
The smile on Leanna’s face widened. “Of course, I can’t. Aidan was the one who gave it to me as a
gift.” While saying that, shemented, “You are all right. I’ve never really used luxury products, so I can
only afford to wear these worthless essories.”
All of sudden, whether it was those who criticized her for wearing brandless clothes or those who
mocked Aidan for not liking her at all suddenly went silent and had different expressions on their faces.
Violet gritted her teeth and seethed, “That’s impossible!”
