Chapter 111 You Don’t Need to Beat Around the Bush

Anthony said coldly, “When did I bad-mouth her? I’m just telling the truth! Do you think she did all that

for you? She’s just trying to ruin our relationship because her life sucks now!”

Zoe did not expect him to say such shameless words, and she scoffed in anger. “So, are you saying

that she forced you to cheat on me? Did she have a knife on your neck or something?”

Anthony just stayed silent. He had always thought he could be with Zoe forever if Leanna had not

caught him and Jeanette. As for Jeanette’s existence, that would not hinder him from being in a

relationship with Zoe.

“Am I wrong? Zayn is now engaged to another woman, and her dreams of marrying a rich man have

been crushed! That’s why she wants to drag you down into her miserable life with her. Zoe, you’re too

naive. Think about this. Why would a pregnant woman be afraid of other people finding out about her

pregnancy? Because she probably had an affair, and the baby is merely an illegitimate b*stard!”

His words made Zoe blow up. “What the h*ll are you saying?”

She was about to dash toward him, but Leanna pulled her back as she looked at Anthony, saying, “You

don’t need to push all the blame on me. Yes, I found out about your affair, but how am I the one in the

wrong when you were basically swaggering around the entire town with your mistress?”

Zoe said, “I must’ve been blind to have loved a lowlife like you for so many years! Ugh, I’m so

disgusted!”

His expression turned nasty upon hearing what she said and he warned her, “Mind your words! Or

you’ll have to face the consequences!”

At this time, someone from the crowd splashed a cup of coffee toward Anthony and Jeanette.

Anthony was fine as only half of his sleeve was stained with coffee, but for Jeanette, someone

splashed her entire face with coffee.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Following Jeanette’s pained scream, Leanna pulled Zoe with her as they left the scene.

It was unnecessary for the two ladies to start a fight with Anthony because they would not have the

upper hand if that happened.

Zoe was still furious even after they left the sales office. “How could that lowlife sprout so much

nonsense? Every time I think about how I’ve dated him for five years, I feel nauseous. I think I can even

puke the food I ate last week because of it.”

As she said, she turned to look at Leanna. “Nana, don’t take his nonsense to heart.”

Leanna smiled. “I won’t. Don’t worry about it.”

Zoe was about to speak when someone patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw a person with

a mask and a cap standing there.

It then hit Zoe that they invited Daphne too when they went out earlier.

Daphne came over right after work. She had been waiting by the sales office for quite some time, but

they were nowhere in sight, so when she heard a commotion inside the office, she went in and took a

look.

That was when she spotted Leanna and Zoe. Leanna suddenly realized something and asked, “Were

you the one who splashed the coffee?” Daphne blinked innocently as she replied, “Yeah. I just bought

it, so it’s still hot.” All of a sudden, Zoe felt that all her anger had dissipated. “Come on, let’s celebrate.

Lunch is on me.” … Jonathan knocked and entered the president’s office of Pearson Group. “President

Pearson, there’s a bit of a situation at our sales office in Stusford.” Aidan put his pen down and looked

at him coldly. Jonathan could feel chills at the base of his spine. He had a feeling that if he did not give

Aidan a satisfactory answer today, his career might just end right there and then. Stusford was a new

housing area developed by the real estate company under Pearson Group. Their problems should not

be reported to the headquarters, especially when it was merely an argument among its clients.

However, the problem was that Jonathan had to constantly monitor Leanna’s whereabouts. Why is my

life so difficult? He coughed, took out his phone, and opened the video of the security footage at the

site. Then, after placing his phone on Aidan’s desk, he took two steps back.

The video was about five minutes long. However, it was noisy because there were too many people, so

it was difficult to hear anything clearly.

Thanks to Zoe’s anger, though, Aidan managed to hear Anthony say the words, ‘illegitimate b*stard’.

His expression did not change much after watching the video. He returned the phone and asked,

“Where’s Leanna now?”

“She went for lunch with her friend and Daphne.”

“I see she still has the time to relax. Get rid of the security footage and find out who was at the office

today. Make sure that the other Pearsons don’t hear about this.”

“Got it.”

Just as Jonathan was about to leave, Aidan spoke again. “Which company is he from?” He understood

who Aidan was referring to quickly. “He’s a capable employee from United Corporation. Last year, he

was sent abroad to study and was promoted to a manager as soon as he returned.” “That’s good.

Make a call to United Corporation’s president. Tell him I’m interested in the project he mentioned last

time and invite him for dinner tonight.” “I’ll get it done right now.” “Hold on.” Aidan looked at him,

expressionless. Then, after a few seconds, he finally said, “Just tell me it’s about Leanna next time. You

don’t need to beat around the bush.” Jonathan was rendered speechless. If only he knew I did that

because he couldn’t admit that he cared about her.

Before he replied, Aidan averted his gaze and said in a cold tone this time, “I’m not concerned about

her. It’s just that it’s not a good time for the Pearsons to find out about her pregnancy now.”

He said, “President Pearson, I understand.”

Great. President Pearson even knows how to find an excuse for himself now.

Once he left, Aidan picked up his phone and called Leanna. Then, he asked monotonously, “What are

you doing now?’

On the other side of the phone, Leanna said, “I’m having lunch with my friends…”

“Oh. Is it Gigi?”

She did not know what to say. Why does he still remember this? He’s so petty.

She laughed awkwardly, ignoring his question. “President Pearson, what can I help you with?”

“Before you ask me that, shouldn’t you tell me what you did today?”

Aidan sounded as if he cared about her. If it were any other girls, that would be what their boyfriends

ask them on a daily basis. However, she could sense that he did not ask her out of concern for her.

After a moment of silence, Leanna said, “I was shopping with my friends—”

He interrupted her. “How did you make your pregnancy known to hundreds of people through

shopping?’

She did not expect that he would quickly find out about the incident. She was stunned for a few

seconds before she asked, “President Pearson, you already know about it?”

“Why don’t you bring a microphone with you the next time you go out? You can announce it to the

whole world and even learn just how fast words can get around.”

Leanna knew she was in the wrong, so she could only say softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know this would

happen.”

His voice was cold. “What’s the point of apologizing now? Why didn’t you think before you acted

earlier?”

Her head bowed down, and she said nothing more. She did not do it on purpose and did not expect

such an incident to happen today either.

After a moment, he said again, “Leanna. Although we’re divorced, you were still once my wife.”
