Chapter 51 There May Be Something Wrong Later, Leanna returned to the private room. When she

arrived at the door, she heard a gentle voice coming from behind just as she was about to enter.

“Leanna.” Upon hearing the voice, she paused mid-action. Then, she turned around after a few

seconds. The moment Leanna turned around, she saw the owner of that gentle voice. It was Zayn. At

the same time, Zayn didn’t expect that person he thought was Leanna turned out to be Leanna indeed.

Thus, he excitedly walked up and said, “Leanna, what brings you here?” As for Leanna, she greeted

him calmly like he was an old friend. “I… I have a dinner gathering with my friend here. How about

you?” In an instant, a sudden realization hit her as she looked at Zayn. I should’ve thought of this! I

should’ve expected that Zayn would be here after I saw Anna show up here and barked madly at me.

“I’m here with my friends too. Are you and your friend almost done with your dinner?

If it’s ending soon, why don’t we—” Before Zayn could finish speaking, someone opened the door to

the private room behind him. Instantly, both of them looked to the door and saw it was Anthony.

Likewise, Anthony also saw them. After Anthony saw Zayn, he was stunned for a long time before he

could react. “Zayn?” Retracting his gaze, Zayn nodded politely at him. Since Anthony and Zoe had

been together since they were in college, he also had met Zayn several times. However, they were not

that close. “Hey! We haven’t seen each other for so many years.” With that, Anthony threw his arm

around Zayn’s shoulder. “Could it be that we’re fated to meet today? Come on, please come in and

chat together with us for a while.”

Just as Leanna was about to decline Anthony’s offer on behalf of Zayn, she saw him smile at her

instead. Shortly after, he entered the private room with Anthony. Once Zayn entered the private room,

Anthony immediately introduced him to his friends in the room. “Everyone, come and meet my buddy

from college. Not only is he my buddy, but he was also our college hunk during our batch.” As soon as

the group of people heard that, they quickly gathered around and gave Zayn a toast. Suddenly,

someone looked at Zayn and asked with uncertainty, “Are you Mr. Barnett from the Barnett Group?”

Upon hearing that, Zayn nodded slightly. “Hello.” As soon as he said that, the astonishment that

centered on Anthony began to spread out. Just like his friends, Anthony was also surprised when he

found out Zayn’s identity. Having known Zayn for years, he only knew that he came from a well-off

family. However, he didn’t expect that Zayn was actually someone related to the Barnett Group. After

that, the person who just spoke said again, “Mr. Barnett has been abroad for the past few years, and I

only saw you from a distance at an event before. So I thought I might have misidentified. I didn’t expect

you to be Anthony’s friend. This is truly fate.” As soon as these words escaped the person’s lips,

everyone’s gaze on Anthony changed. They were either filled with envy or jealousy. Anthony is nothing

but a mere white-collar worker, yet he’s actually buddies with the son of Barnett Group!

From everyone’s perspective, it was just a matter of time for Anthony to rise to prominence. In contrast,

Anthony was the only one in a state of panic. At this moment, he was tremendously nervous and his

heart was beating fast. He feared that Zayn would expose him on the spot by telling everyone that they

weren’t actually close. To Anthony’s relief, Zayn just smiled and said, “We’ve known each other for

years.” Meanwhile, on the other side, Zoe walked up to Leanna. Seeing Zayn being surrounded by a

group of people like he was an A-list celebrity, she asked in doubt, “Why is he here?”

Rubbing the spot between her eyebrows, Leanna answered. “I met him at the entrance earlier, and

Anthony invited him in.” Upon hearing that, Zoe tsked. Then, she added, “He’s lucky that Zayn has a

good temper. If it was—” Zoe only spoke half of what she wanted to say. Even so, a name appeared in

their mind at the same time. Instantly, the both women shivered out of fright. I can’t even imagine what

would happen. Zoe then grumbled, “Do you think there’s something wrong with Anthony’s colleague?

First, she made a scene at the entrance. Then, she came to me and said some inexplicable words

moments ago. Oh, someone is trying hard to show me that she’s a real b*tch. Leanna, who was in a

trance, came back to her senses. Remembering the purpose she attended the party tonight, she

thought for a while before she finally started speaking, “Zoe, I think there may be something wrong

between you and Anthony—” However, Zoe interrupted her before she could say the reason.

“Ha! I know Anthony too well. He isn’t a lionheart, so he wouldn’t dare to cheat on me. Not to mention

that the suspect in question is a beauty without a brain. Perhaps I might really have my suspicions if

she’s smarter.” Upon hearing the affirming tone in Zoe’s voice, Leanna became silent. Deep down, she

had a feeling that Zoe was already suspecting Jeanette. It was just that Zoe didn’t want to confront it

yet. Well, I can’t blame her, though. It’s really hard for anyone to believe that their partner of so many

years will cheat on them. At this moment, Anthony turned around and saw both Zoe and Leanna talking

to each other. For fear that Leanna had exposed his cheating to Zoe, the alarm inside him instantly

went off. After saying a few words to the others, he walked over to them with Zayn. Hugging Zoe

nervously, he smiled and said, “Since we haven’t seen each other for so many years, why don’t the four

of us find a place to sit and chat?” Bewildered by Anthony’s words, Zoe muttered, “What’s the purpose

of you calling so many friends over tonight? Are you planning to just ditch them like that?”

“Don’t worry, they’ll be fine. I can meet these friends at any time. Besides, they have enjoyed

themselves for quite a while now. Just let them continue to stay here if they don’t want to leave. Worst

comes to worst, I’ll be back later to clean up after them.” “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to do

that?” Even so, Anthony said indifferently, “What’s so inappropriate about it? We’re all friends, so they

won’t mind. What do you think, Zayn? Shall we find a place to sit and chat?” Zayn inadvertently took a

glance at Leanna and he stated, “I’m fine with anything.” “Well, then—” Before Anthony could say

anything more, Leanna voiced out. “It’s getting late, so I’ll go back first. You all go ahead.”

At the same time, Zoe also said, “Then let me send you back. I can take this chance to get some fresh

air.” Once Leanna left, Zayn naturally wouldn’t stay any longer. After nodding at Anthony, he also

followed Leanna and left. Watching as all three of them left, Anthony subconsciously clenched his firsts

and quickly followed. After leaving the private room, Zayn pursed his lips and said, “Leanna, are you

mad at me?” Leanna was stunned before she realized what he was referring to. “No, I’m not. I’m just…

feeling a bit sick.” Despite saying so, that wasn’t the words Leanna intended to say.

In reality, she wanted to say that she didn’t want to see that hypocrite Anthony anymore. Upon hearing

that, Zayn looked at her inconspicuous belly. “Does he still not know?” Leanna smiled and shook her

head gently in response. Soon, Anthony was able to catch up with them. Grabbing onto Zoe, he said,

“Zoe, how about you not following them out?” Once again, Zoe was confused by Anthony’s behavior.

Hence, she asked, “Why can’t I—” Knowing Zoe would ask him that, Anthony swiftly answered before

she could speak out the full sentence. “Leanna and Zayn haven’t seen each other for so long, so I’m

sure they must have a lot to catch up with each other. Why would you be third-wheeling them? Won’t

you be interrupting their date if you follow them?” “What nonsense are you talking about?”

At that point, the pent-up uneasiness within Anthony had infuriated him completely. Hence, he spoke

incoherently, “Who said I’m talking nonsense? Haven’t they always had feelings for each other?” Upon

hearing the words spoken by him, she frowned. Then, she accentuated the tone of her voice and

shouted, “Anthony Lester!” After being silent for two seconds, Zayn paused slightly when he spotted a

person not far away. Nonetheless, he still replied to Anthony. “Yes! I have always liked her all along.”

Leanna didn’t expect that he would answer Anthony in such a way. Therefore, she raised her head

slightly and looked up. However, she discovered that Zayn’s gaze was fixated on one place. She

subconsciously followed his gaze and looked in that direction too. What came into her sight instantly

made her scalp tingle. Is today Friday the 13th?!

How is it possible that all of us meet on the same night?! Besides, why are there so many people

gathering at this place tonight?! Not far away, Aidan was looking at them coldly. As he stared at them,

there wasn’t an ounce of warmth in his eyes. Seeing that there was something wrong with Leanna’s

facial expression, Zoe also turned around. When she saw Aidan, she instantly gasped with shock. Are

we in hell? After staring at each other for brief seconds, Aidan retracted his gaze calmly, looking as if

he didn’t know them at all.

Striding with his pair of long legs, he walked away directly. Seeing him pass by them while looking

steadily forward, Leanna finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could puff out her sigh,

Aidan suddenly stopped. Slowly turning his head around, he first glanced at Anthony and Zoe. before

he fixed his gaze on Leanna. “How long are you going to keep dragging on this matter? You haven’t

thought of how to tell her?” At once, Leanna’s heart skipped a beat. However, Aidan’s voice sounded

again before she could ask him to shut up. Without the slightest tinge of warmth in his voice, he added,

“Didn’t you record a video? Just show it to her.”
