Chapter 147 Better Not Defy Him

Soon enough, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

The servant came with Leanna’s breakfast and said, “Old Master Pearson has given instructions that

you are not to head downstairs for the next few days. If you have anything that you need at all, just let

me know. I will bring your meals into the room for you at the same time each day.”

Leanna was not surprised at all by the scenario, so she nodded gently without being emotionally

affected.

Judging by the incidents from yesterday, Gordon would surely blame every issue onto her. Hence, it

was natural for him to not wish to lay eyes on her anymore.

As for the esteemed guest today…

She recalled the scene she had caught sight of in front of the window and it was quite likely that

Georgina’s father had paid a visit.

Therefore, it made sense that she was forbidden from heading downstairs.

She collected the breakfast from the servant and was about to enter her room when she suddenly

caught sight of Aidan’s figure.

The servant bowed slightly to her and quickly left after that.

At that moment, Leanna’s eyes coincidentally met his cold and distant eyes. For a moment there, she

was at a loss for whether to greet him politely or pretend that she did not see him and shut the door

immediately.

Fortunately, Aidan voiced out first, “Don’t trust anyone in this house.”

She was perplexed by his words and paused for a moment before saying, “I don’t get what you mean,

President Pearson…”

“Whatever, then.” He retracted his gaze and turned around before suddenly mentioning, “I definitely

won’t go back on my words.”

With that, he did not utter another word and went back to his room.

Leanna was momentarily stunned before shutting the door behind her.

She glanced at the breakfast in front of her and just like that, her appetite was lost.

Truth be told, the words that Aidan said were not exactly a mystery to her. She just did not know the

extent of his awareness regarding everything. Does he know that Sienna has come to see me? Or is

he aware that Sienna had pre-arranged an escape route for me? As such, she chose to act oblivious.

Leanna knew that Sienna was not to be trusted, but without her help, Leanna would not even be able to

walk out of the Pearson Family Estate.

After quite some time, she suddenly recalled the last sentence that Aidan said to her.

He mentioned that he would not back on his words.

She placed her hand gently on her baby bump and thought, Even if he keeps his words, it won’t

change a thing at all. After the birth of her child, she would be faced with only two options; the child

would either be taken away by the Pearsons or be sent to some unknown place. Therefore, she

realized that she had to make plans for the livelihood of their lives. … After being cooped up in her

room for an entire day, Leanna realized that she had been granted a lot of leeways previously. Right

now, she finally felt the torture of being imprisoned. Her body ached from lying in bed too much, but she

could only walk around in the room. The little one in her tummy seemed to sense the uneasiness from

the outside world, so the baby was rather restless inside and thus, causing her to be very

uncomfortable. The subsequent night, Zoe sent Leanna the latest information. Pearson Group had

already come forward and cleared the air about the false rumors on the Internet from yesterday. The

allegation about an illegitimate child was completely untrue and the Pearson Group would pursue this

matter in court while taking action against those who spread the false news. Besides that, everyone

was widely discussing Aidan and Georgina’s wedding. This unification of two wealthy families—be it

their upcoming wedding next month or the immense benefit brought about by the union of their families

—was the center of everyone’s attention. Occasionally, someone would bring up Aidan’s mysterious

ex-wife, who had never been seen in public. However, no one brought up anything about Lux Jewelry’s

designer. Zoe spoke in a soft voice, “Nana, are you leaving today?”

Leanna nodded. Today was the day that she and Sienna had agreed upon. It also happened to be

Gordon’s birthday banquet tonight. Due to the upcoming merge of the Pearson and Crossley Family,

his birthday banquet this year was much livelier than his previous celebrations. The bulk of the guests

in attendance were there to pay their compliments and flatter him.

However, the lively situation had nothing to do with Leanna.

Even with her windows tightly shut, she could still hear the noises from outside.

She took a look at the time and saw that it was now 5.00PM, meaning it was soon for her to escape.

She looked at the clock as time ticked by slowly; her palms became sweaty as her anxiety grew.

As time passed, the sky outside had also gradually darkened. Finally at 8.00PM, she heard a knock on

her door.

Leanna held her phone in her hands and regulated her breathing before walking to the doorway.

There were two men clad in black standing in front of her door and one of the men spoke, “Miss

McKinney, Old Master Gordon has instructed us to send you off.”

As soon as she heard that, she retreated several steps involuntarily. “Old Master Pearson?” How can it

be him?!

The bodyguard nodded. “Miss McKinney, it’s time to go.”

Although both of them behaved politely, there was an insistent note in their voices and she was not

given any chance to say no. Leanna was unsure of the current situation, so she had no choice but to

purse her lips and try hard to control her trembling body as she left with them… The bodyguards led

her out by using a different path to avoid the guests attending the party. The path they took to the back

door was very quiet and deserted.

Suddenly, she paused in her tracks.

The two bodyguards instantly looked in her direction. “Miss McKinney, is there something wrong?”

She replied, “I would like to know where you guys are bringing me.”

“Old Master Pearson wants us to send you to a safe place until you deliver the child.” The bodyguard

continued, “He also wanted me to pass on a message to you. He emphasized that you should not defy

him if you don’t wish to implicate the people around you. Otherwise, if your child is harmed in the

process, no one would benefit from this at all.”

Leanna clenched her hands into a fist. He keeps threatening me with the same thing.

However, this time, they intended to send her off to a secret location.

The bodyguard rushed, “Miss McKinney, let’s go.”

She bit on her lip and had not even managed to take a step forward when the two bodyguards,

originally behind her, suddenly collapsed to the ground one after the other.

Shocked, she turned around and saw that Sienna was standing not too far away with an indifferent

expression.

It was her men who had dealt with the two bodyguards.

Despite that, Leanna was even more guarded as she did not feel any sense of relief at all.

However, Sienna did not bother to explain anything to her either. “There has been a change in plans,

but don’t worry. I will help you get away as per our deal.”

Leanna responded, “Thank you, Mrs. Pearson.”

“You’re welcome. The two of us are just getting what we want respectively.” Sienna walked over and

looked at Leanna. “You have to leave your phone here.”

Not making any move, Leanna seemed to be hesitating.

“If Aidan investigates this matter afterward, he might discover that I was the one who helped you get

away. I’ve got the two perfect candidates to push the blame on, so it would be just nice if you left your

phone with them,” Sienna spoke up.

She then reached out to take a new phone from one of her men and handed it to Leanna. “Here you

go. Do you feel more at ease now?”

Leanna turned back and shot a look at the bodyguards on the ground. Finally, she placed her phone

next to them.

Sienna turned around with her back facing Leanna. “The car is waiting outside. They will escort you to

a safe place first. Once the commotion dies down, then I will send you abroad. My phone number is

already saved in the phone, so you can get hold of me anytime if necessary.”

Leanna nodded slightly. “Whatever it is, I would like to express my gratitude, Mrs. Pearson.”
