Chapter 432


    Oh, he sounds serious. Leanna perked up as well. “I’m listening.”


    “I signed with a filmpany.”


    That was a surprise for Leanna. She was stunned for a moment. “When?”


    “Quite a while now. I was going to spill it eventually, but…”


    “You’re worried I might object.” Leanna looked at him.


    Louis stayed silent, though that was an answer in and of itself.


    Leanna smiled and patted his shoulder. “I won’t object to this. Whatever you want to do, you have my


    full support.” Then she said, “Zoe even told me she’s going to be your fan club’s president if you ever


    debut.” She was then reminded of something else. “Oh, Daphne did say something about this, but she


    wanted you to tell me yourself. Is that it?”


    Louis nodded. “I think so.”


    “Sure, but I have one condition.” Leanna said seriously, “You can get into a rtionship or even shoot a


    movie, but don’t let that get in the way of your studies.”


    “I know. I won’t.”


    Leanna knew he wouldn’t. Louis had been a top student ever since he was a kid. She did not need to


    worry about him.


    After Louis was gone, Leanna got in her car and called Jonathan. She wanted him to find out where


    Georgina was. Once she got the address, Leanna went straight to the hospital.


    Meanwhile, the doctor had just finished bandaging Georgina, and said, “Don’t expose your wound to


    water. Come back in two days to get your dressing changed.”


    A frown creased Georgina’s brows, and she shot up impatiently. “I got it.” She raised her wrist and


    exited the consultation room. A momentter, she saw Leanna waiting for her nearby.


    Georgina sneered. “Here to see if I’m wounded?”


    Leanna said calmly, “You know you must put in the effort if you want me to believe you. And that’s why


    you’re here.”


    “This is all thanks to you. Don’tugh at me. It’s annoying.”


    Leanna said, “I shouldn’tugh at you.” Georgina was about to say something, but Leanna continued, “I


    should hold a party to celebrate.”


    Oh, he sounds serious. Leonno perked up os well. “I’m listening.”


    “I signed with o filmpony.”


    Thot wos o surprise for Leonno. She wos stunned for o moment. “When?”


    “Quite o while now. I wos going to spill it eventuolly, but…”


    “You’re worried I might object.” Leonno looked ot him.


    Louis stoyed silent, though thot wos on onswer in ond of itself.


    Leonno smiled ond potted his shoulder. “I won’t object to this. Whotever you wont to do, you hove my


    full support.” Then she soid, “Zoe even told me she’s going to be your fon club’s president if you ever


    debut.” She wos then reminded of something else. “Oh, Dophne did soy something obout this, but she


    wonted you to tell me yourself. Is thot it?”


    Louis nodded. “I think so.”


    “Sure, but I hove one condition.” Leonno soid seriously, “You con get into o relotionship or even shoot o


    movie, but don’t let thot get in the woy of your studies.”


    “I know. I won’t.”


    Leonno knew he wouldn’t. Louis hod been o top student ever since he wos o kid. She did not need to


    worry obout him.


    After Louis wos gone, Leonno got in her cor ond colled Jonothon. She wonted him to find out where


    Georgino wos. Once she got the oddress, Leonno went stroight to the hospitol.


    Meonwhile, the doctor hod just finished bondoging Georgino, ond soid, “Don’t expose your wound to


    woter. Come bock in two doys to get your dressing chonged.”


    A frown creosed Georgino’s brows, ond she shot up impotiently. “I got it.” She roised her wrist ond


    exited the consultotion room. A moment loter, she sow Leonno woiting for her neorby.


    Georgino sneered. “Here to see if I’m wounded?”


    Leonno soid colmly, “You know you must put in the effort if you wont me to believe you. And thot’s why


    you’re here.”


    “This is oll thonks to you. Don’t lough ot me. It’s onnoying.”


    Leonno soid, “I shouldn’t lough ot you.” Georgino wos obout to soy something, but Leonno continued, “I


    should hold o porty to celebrote.”


    Georgina gnashed her teeth. “You think you’ve won? Honestly, sometimes you astonish me. Aidan


    used to hate your guts. He even wanted to kill your baby, but now you’re back with him. Doesn’t theExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    sight of him disgust you?”


    Leanna remained unfazed. “Miss Crossley, you don’t like me either, but still you faked being my friend.


    Doesn’t the sight of me disgust you?” She didn’t give Georgina a chance to answer and continued,


    “You keep saying you’d have been the one to marry Aidan if it weren’t for me. That’s why you hate me,


    but if I’m right, you don’t think highly of Aidan either. You think an illegitimate child like him is unworthy


    of a pureblood like you.”


    The look on Georgina’s face changed, but she remained silent.


    “You think you’re worthy of everything you have. You think you’re a legitimate heir, but I doubt that.”


    “What’s that supposed to mean?”


    Leanna smiled. “Nothing. I have to go now. Rest well, Miss Crossley.”


    Georgina looked at her coldly.


    Leanna emerged from the hospital and was about to leave, but she ran into someone.


    Justin smiled at her. “It’s been a while, Leanna.”


    “Mr. Pearson,” she said.


    “What brings you here? Are you unwell?”


    “No. I have business to do.” She paused for a moment. “Are you sick?”


    Justin ced his hands on his knees and stared at them. “It’s nothing. A condition of mind. I can’t stand


    up, but my legs hurt a few times every year.” He looked at her. “Let’s sit down and chat if you don’t


    mind.”


    Leanna nodded. “Sure.”


    They came to a coffee shop, and he asked, “Have you been well?”


    A small smile tugged at Leanna’s lips. “I’m fine, as usual.”


    Justin took a sip of coffee. “I heard that you got back with Aidan.”


    “Yes.”


    He smiled. “That’s good. I know Aidan. He’s a softie. He fell for you a long time ago.”


    Leanna remained smiling, but she had no idea what to say. After his apology after the car crashst


    time, it had been a while since they met. She didn’t know how to treat Justin. On the one hand, he was


    one of the few who were nice to her, but on the other hand, his mother was the one who set her up and


    killed her child.


    A momentter, Justin said, “I’ve also heard of your feud with the Crossleys. What’s your n? Do you


    need any help?”


    Leanna shook her head. “No. I’m moving out.”


    Surprised, Justin asked, “Why?”


    “Maybe because they don’t like me. I don’t have any reason to stay with them. I stayed with them for


    money, and now that I’ve gotten what I wanted, it’s time to leave.”


    “You’re not that kind of woman, Leanna.”


    Leanna smiled. “Perhaps I’ve masked myself too well. I didn’t want much when I was poor, but now I


    know there’s nothing money can’t settle.” A momentter, her phone rang. It was from Aidan. She


    looked at it and said, “I have something to settle. See you.”


    Justin nodded. “See you.”


    Leanna smiled and left the coffee shop. Her phone stopped ringing right there and then. She called


    Aidan back as she approached her car.


    Once the call made it through, Aidan asked, “Still at the hospital?”


    “I just left and am about to head to the studio. What’s up?”


    Aidan slowly asked, “Done with your business?”


    “Well, I suppose. There’s not much I can do now,” Leanna answered.


    “Want me to pick you up?”


    That exins why he called me. She got in her car. “Tomorrow morning, maybe. I need to pack


    tonight.”


    “No problem,” Aidan answered without hesitation.


    Leanna pursed her lips and stayed silent for a while. In the end, she said, “I ran into your brother.”


    “Justin?”


    “Yeah. He’s probably here to get his legs checked.”


    Aidan frowned. “Did he say anything to you?”


    A sigh escaped Leanna’s lips. “Nothing. Just made small talk.”
