Chapter 108 Give Me a Way Out

No one was happier than Zoe about Leanna’s return.

Once she reported for duty at Harvey’s office, Zoe immediately pulled Leanna into her room. “Nana,

when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I just came back the day before yesterday,” Leanna said. “Zoe, Jethro is dead.”

Then, she proceeded to briefly explain everything to Zoe, including the photos found in Jethro’s

suitcase.

After Zoe heard all this, she felt a wave of relief. “I’m not surprised at all. But, Jethro, he…does not look

like a father to me. No matter how much of a jerk you are, you wouldn’t have betrayed your own

daughter like that. He’s really shameless.”

With that, she asked again, “Then, what are you going to do now? Are you going to find your biological

father?”

Leanna shook her head. “Forget it.”

“Why? Don’t you want to know what happened back then?”

“Regardless of what happened, it has been so many years. There’s not much reason for me to uncover

them.”

Hearing this, Zoe seemed to think for a while before asking tentatively, “Nana, is this because of Lou?”

She knew Leanna too well. For her, a father she couldn’t remember was nothing compared to her

younger brother, who had been dependent on each other since she was young.

Leanna smiled lightly. “That’s not it; you’re overthinking. I just think that life is finally starting to calm

down after Jethro dies. I don’t want to let myself step into another unknown situation. Moreover, he

should come and find me if he is still alive. This means that he is no longer in this world or might be

married to someone else and have his own children. Wouldn’t it make both of us unhappy if I were to

look for him?”

After Zoe thought about it, she seemed to agree with Leanna. So, she changed the topic. “But

compared to this, I’m more curious about something else.”

“What is it?”

“Are you and Aidan remarrying?”

Leanna did not answer. Zoe was serious about this. “Don’t try to escape. After what you told me last

time, I thought about it again. Even if Aidan likes you, the feeling of a b*stard like him wouldn’t be true.

Look at Mia. Wasn’t it rumored that she was going to marry Aidan? Yet, she did not. That b*stard must

be coveting your beauty. On a whim, lust filled his heart.” When Leanna heard this, the corners of her

mouth twitched. It took her a while before she answered, “I know.” Even if Zoe didn’t say it, Leanna

knew very well that Aidan’s sudden liking towards her might have stemmed from her silently following

behind him while being a good wife dutifully. When she stopped being Mrs. Pearson and started her

own life, she was no longer submissive. Instead, she felt like a new person. All men were b*stards at

the end of the day. Just like what he said, three years was a long time. They’ve slept together countless

times. If he wanted to like her, he would have already. At this point, Leanna was quite self-aware. Then,

Zoe spoke again, “Nana, you came back just in time. I’ll move in with you. I’ve decided to sell my

house. Every time I go back to that house, I think about how Anthony had lived there before. It’s

disgusting.” Leanna let out an awkward laugh once she heard Zoe’s suggestion. This confused Zoe.

Leanna rubbed her neck uneasily and said, “You can move right in. I…don’t live there anymore.”

“Huh? Where do you live? Did you rent another house?”

Leanna knew that she couldn’t hide it for long, so she simply told Zoe the truth.

Zoe was speechless after hearing that.

Then, after a while, she earnestly said, “Nana, for the sake of our many years of friendship, if you and

that b*stard—if you and President Pearson get back together, don’t tell him about the things I’ve said.

Give me a way out.” … When Leanna and Zoe came out of the office, they bumped into Queenie, who

was here to pick up a luxurious customized piece for a customer. It was obvious that Zoe and Queenie

did not get along well together. The two could barely look each other in the eyes, let alone maintain a

superficial relationship as colleagues. Just as a few people passed by, a clear female voice sounded.

“Please wait.” She turned around and looked at Leanna. “You’re also a designer for Lux Jewelry, am I

right? If my guess is right, you’re the designer for the ‘First Love’ series, McK?” Leanna nodded slightly.

“Hello.” “I’ve come to Lux Magazine a few times but didn’t get to meet you. I thought you resigned.”

“I had some personal issues to settle, so I took a long leave.”

Queenie hurried forward and said once she saw the situation, “Miss Crossley, we—”

Georgina smiled and interrupted her, “It’s okay. I’m not in a rush. I have nothing to do anyway.”

After she said that, she turned to Leanna. “I really like the ‘First Love’ series that you designed. I have a

sister that is about to get married, and I want to give her a gift. Can I get you to design it for me?”

Queenie chewed on her lips. “Miss Crossley—”

“Miss Wojzicki, what we talked about before will not change. This sister is quite important to me.

Besides, no gifts are too many, am I right?”

Since Georgina had said so, Queenie couldn’t find another reason to retaliate. However, she was

unhappy. Why did a client she struggled to find fall right into Leanna’s lap so easily?

Then, Georgina turned to Leanna again and asked softly, “Can you do it, Miss McK?”

Before Leanna could open her mouth, Zoe answered for her, “Yes, of course. Miss Crossley, you have

such a good eye. McK is the first jewelry designer signed by our magazine. The jewelry from the ‘First

Love’ series is still selling out. It is definitely the best option for you to get her to design your sister’s

wedding gift.”

Georgina smiled. “Of course. I heard that Miss McK won The Emerging Designer Competition three

years ago. My sister will definitely like the wedding gift that Miss McK designed.”

“Does Miss Crossley have any preferences?” Leanna asked.

“What about this? Let’s find a place to sit down and chat.” Speaking of this, Georgina seemed to have

remembered Queenie and said, “By the way, Miss Wojzicki, we’d just follow the previous design. I’m

very pleased with that.”

After a long while, Queenie nodded stiffly.

Georgina was obviously dissatisfied with the design that she submitted before this. That was why she

was here today, to revise the details of the design.

But now, the works she designed seemed no longer necessary.

It was evident that she had chosen Leanna. The only reason that Georgina let Queenie produce the

finished product was to keep her dignity intact.

Her fists clenched into fists when she thought about this, and her fingernails left marks on her palms.
