Chapter 625


    Chapter 625 Lost Any Utility Value


    Leanna paused. “Are you saying that someone intentionally sent her to Highside?”


    Aidan nodded and slowly said, “The Woodley Family was eager to make Charlotte marry L.


    Moreover… That’s why it wasn’t easy for her to leave Jamesdon. However, we happened to be


    returning to Highside.”


    After hearing that, she knew what he had left out.


    There was an unwritten rule in the Woodleys that stated family members could never leave Jamesdon.


    Charlotte, the granddaughter of Philip Woodley, was restrained from leaving Jamesdon by various


    means, no matter what methods she used.


    After thinking momentarily, Leanna asked, “Are those who assisted her the same people who conspired


    with Sienna?”


    Aidan shook his head and exined, “No. Setting aside the various internal struggles within the


    Woodley Family, the two most obvious forces now are L and those who oppose him. Those who


    oppose him will inevitably need the help of the Woodley Family’s elders if they want to get his position.”


    Then, she interjected, “Charlotte’s grandfather is currently the most prestigious elder in the Woodley


    Family. If they want his help, they certainly won’ty a hand on Charlotte, right?”


    “Exactly. Moreover, everyone knows Charlotte’s identity. Even if L wants to sit firmly in the


    position of the head of the Woodley Family, he must marry her, let alone other people. As long as he


    marries her, he will get the full support of her family.”


    “Since she had already left Jamesdon and arrived in Highside, even if she returns, she will lose any


    utility value as long as word of her leaving Jamesdon spreads,” Leanna said.


    Aidan’s lips curved slightly. “Smart.”


    After a while, she started to get a handle on things and remarked, “So, the person who helped her


    come to Highside was L.”


    “L has been refusing this marriage, but the Woodleys’ elders are unwilling topromise.


    Although he can stabilize his position by marrying Charlotte, he is also restrained by those people,”


    Aidan exined. “Initially, the elders agreed to bring my mother back to the Woodley Family. However,


    they were subtly displeased because they felt L vited the family’s rules. Although Philip didn’t


    say anything, it was clear that he was also unhappy. Nevertheless, his primary concern is the position


    of the head of the Woodley Family. As long as Charlotte and L get married, he can turn a blind


    eye. However, he didn’t expect his granddaughter to break the family’s rules.”


    “So, that’s why L sent Charlotte to Highside?” Leanna asked.


    “Yes.”


    L wishes to abolish the Woodley Family’s old family rules but faces significant opposition. If


    bringing Naomi back to the Woodley Family is the first step, then sending Charlotte to Highside is the


    second step. Now, Charlotte’s family must have been outraged. Leanna felt that the situation in


    Jamesdon was far from over. She wondered how he would resolve the problem. Then, she rolled down


    the car window and yawned.


    Seeing that, Aidan asked, “Tired?”


    She replied, “A little bit.”


    “We still have half an hour left. Do you want to take a nap?”


    After hearing that, she shook her head. “Are you going back to the office?”


    He paused before saying, “No, why?”


    “Nothing. There’s so much work piling up at the office. I assumed you’d go straight there.”


    “With so much work piled up, one more night won’t make a difference.”


    Leanna was speechless after hearing that. It makes sense.


    Half an hourter, the car stopped in front of the building where she rented her apartment. Then, she


    exited the car and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar ce, suddenly feeling like it had been ages


    since she wasst there. She went up the stairs and entered the password to open the door. As she


    entered, the house was bright and clean. It looks like Zoe came over to clean regrly. Leanna


    checked the time and saw it was alreadyte, so she didn’t tell Zoe they had arrived and decided to


    wait until the following day.


    When she closed the door, Aidan’s phone rang, and Jonathan was calling.


    She knew that Aidan had to deal with Charlotte’s affairs and yawned. “I’ll take a shower first.”


    When he heard that, he replied, “Okay.” Afterward, he walked to the balcony with his phone.


    She went to the bedroom to get her clothes and headed to the bathroom. She had been sketching out


    design ideas while they were in flight, and she had not slept, so she was utterly worn out. So, she tied


    her hair up and quickly showered beforeing out.


    When Leanna passed the living room, she saw Aidan still on the phone. So, she didn’t returned to the


    bedroom. She immediately fell asleep with her head on the pillow.

    After a while, she felt the bed sink slightly, and someone hugged her. She also smelled the fragrance of


    the shower gel she used. Suddenly, she woke up and asked, “Why are you here?”


    He was taken aback by that question and replied softly, “Where else would I be if not here?”


    “Your home is next door. Shouldn’t you go back—”


    Aidan patted her back and said, “You’re still half asleep. Go back to sleep.”


    Leanna stayed silent and ignored him.


    Perhaps it was because she had returned to the Highside, but she slept soundly and awoke to a


    brilliantly shining sun.


    She reached out to grab her phone, and a man beside her said, “It’s eleven. You should get up now.”


    Leanna sat up slowly and looked at the man on the couch. “Didn’t you go to thepany?”


    Aidan closed hisptop and replied calmly, “I’ll go this afternoon. What do you want to eat? I’ll have


    Jonathan bring it over.”


    She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed. “I’ll cook for myself.”


    After washing up, she bought some fresh fruits and vegetables on an app, intending to go to Zoe’s


    house to eat something. After knocking for a while, there was no response from inside.


    Then, Leanna called Zoe. “Zoe, are you not at home?”


    “I’ve been at the studio for a while.” After a pause, Zoe continued, “Have you returned?”


    Leanna finally realized her mistakes. “Yes, I returnedst night.”


    “How about the little guy? Did hee back with you?”


    “No, he has to stay there for treatment.”


    Zoe sighed. “Okay. Hey, are youing to the studio this afternoon?”


    “Yes,” Leanna said as she returned to her room to change her shoes to go to the grocery store. “I’m


    hanging up now. The elevator is here.”


    “Okay. See you this afternoon!”


    Leanna put away her phone and was about to leave when Aidan came over and asked, “Where are


    you going?”


    “I’m going to the grocery store to buy some things.”


    Then, he said, “I’ll go with you.”


    “Okay.” She closed the door and took a few steps toward the elevator when the opposite door opened.


    Charlotte poked her head out and asked, “Can I go with you guys?”
