Chapter 410
After Elliot left the studio, Zoe entered the office with a confused frown. "Was that the guy who fell out
with Queenie?"
Leanna nodded slowly.
"Wait a minute." Zoe pulled a chair toward herself and sat down beside the woman. "Why was he here?
Did you see how smug he looked? If I had no idea what had happened, I'd have thought he had been
honored instead of getting blacklisted by the fashion industry."
Leanna replied, "Perhaps he's trying to add fire to the fuel since I'm ready to deal with Queenie."
Zoe couldn't help but click her tongue. "Although Queenie deserves karma, Elliot is also a terrible guy.
Whenever I recall how smug he looked, I have goosebumps all over my body. I'm disgusted."
After giving it some thought, she asked, "Didn't you meet Lewis today? How is he going to deal with the
two judges?"
Leanna leaned against the chair and replied calmly, "We don't have any solid evidence now, so we can
only let them off."
"What?! They're not going to be punished for their wrongdoings?"
Leanna smiled. "Don't worry. As long as they're guilty, their wrongdoings will be exposed sooner or
later."
Zoe nodded in agreement. "You have a point."
Leanna stretched her back. "Alright, let's get to work now."
"I'll go back to work now. Call out to me if you need me."
"Alright."
Zoe then left the place. Just as Leanna was ready to start working on her draft, her phone on the table
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbuzzed. She picked it up and realized it was a junk message. Then, she put the phone down and
slightly pressed the space between her brows.
Two hours later, she heard a knock at the door, so she lifted her head. "Please come in."
Zoe pushed the door open and entered the office with boxes of accessories. As she laid them down on
the table, she uttered, "These are the accessories that the factory has just produced, Nana. Please
take a look and tell me if there's a problem. If there's none, I'll contact the customers to pick them up."
Hearing that, Leanna put down her pen and opened the boxes one by one. After examining all of them,
she said, "There's no problem. You can start contacting the customers."
"Alright."
Just as Zoe was about to leave, a staff member rushed into the office with a box. "There was one more
box in the car, Zoe."
Zoe patted her head. "Oh, I've forgotten about it!" She took the box from the staff member and passed
it to Leanna. "Have a look at it as well."
When Leanna opened the box and saw the necklace, she fell into a dazed state for a moment.
Seeing that, Zoe asked in a hushed voice, "What's wrong, Nana? Is there a problem with it?"
"No." Leanna shook her head with a smile. "It was one of my works. I sent the draft paper to the factory
previously."
As Zoe glanced at the necklace, she recalled something and asked probingly, "It looks like the lost
necklace you'd prepared for the charity gala dinner the other day."
Leanna replied, "It's based on that necklace. I'd made some modifications during the competition."
Upon learning that, Zoe said, "It's no wonder I find the necklace familiar. It looks gorgeous. Did you get
the inspiration from the pocket watch?"
Leanna pressed her lips into a line and nodded.
Seeing that, Zoe stopped asking further. A moment later, she asked, "Why don't we have dinner later,
Nana?"
"Huh?"
"It's to celebrate that you've won the competition and secured an exclusive show. Also, Georgina's true
colors have been exposed, and Queenie and Elliot are now fighting with each other."
After pondering on it for a moment, Leanna nodded. "Alright, then. Have you invited anyone else?"
Zoe winked at her cheekily. "Don't worry. I've invited President Pearson."
Leanna's ears reddened as she coughed. "Stop saying nonsense. He's just a friend…"
"Right, right, right. Your friend." After a pause, Zoe added, "By the way, I've also invited Louis and
Daphne. Is there anyone else you'd like to invite?"
Leanna replied, "Tell Daniel to come over as well."
This time, it was Zoe's turn to blush as she refuted meekly, "Why are you inviting him?"
Leanna chuckled. "Doesn't he send you home every day now? It's not like today will be an exception."
"But—"
"It's fine. Just tell him to come over. He's helped me a lot."
Zoe cleared her throat. "Alright. However, I don't think he's in the piano room now. I'll call him later."
"Alright."
After the door was closed, Leanna pulled out the lowest drawer at her desk and opened a box. Then,
she picked up a pocket watch and placed it on her table.
Previously, she had found Lloyd through the pocket watch, but the man turned out to be a sham; her
biological father passed away a long time ago.
This pocket watch was probably the last thing he had left behind in this world.
After staring at it for a while, Leanna put the pocket watch and the necklace into the same box and

At 7.00PM, Leanna left her office and saw Zoe waiting for her on the couch. "I'm ready, Zoe. Let's go."
Zoe got to her feet. "Sure."
The moment they left the studio, they saw a black Rolls-Royce pulling over by the road.
Zoe tactfully left the place to get her car. "I'll send you the restaurant's address, Nana. See you later."
Before Leanna could say anything, the other woman had run away. She pocketed her gaze and
shuffled toward the Rolls-Royce. Aidan lowered the window and gestured to her. "Get in."
Leanna opened the door. Just as she was ready to get into the vehicle, she saw a bouquet of flowers
on the seat. Her lips curved into a smile as it surprised her that the man was pretty romantic.
Aidan picked up the flowers for her, after which she slid into the passenger's seat and closed the door.
Then, she asked, "Hasn't Zoe informed Jonathan about the restaurant's address? Why did you come
all the way here instead of going there directly?"
Aidan's lips twisted into a smile. "Because I wanted to see you earlier."
The smile on Leanna's face widened. After taking the roses from him, she smelled them. All of a
sudden, she lifted her head and questioned with a frown, "Did you do anything wrong?"
Aidan was speechless at that.
"You've never given me flowers before."
Aidan's lips squirmed for a moment before he uttered, "No."
Leanna observed his lips and felt that what he truly wanted to say was: where's your conscience?
With that said, the man had indeed given her many things, though he had only passed her the gifts
personally on several occasions.
"Forget what I've said."
Aidan raised his hand and flicked her forehead. "How ungrateful."
Leanna ignored him. With the flowers in her arms, she lowered the window and looked out at the night
view.
