I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 550

When Leanna arrived at the studio and saw Zoe there, she asked, "Why don't you get more rest at home?"

Presently, Zoe rested her head on the table and said lethargically, "I was bored to death at home. If I stayed there

any longer, I would've developed depression."

Leanna smiled and sat down across from her. "Where's Daniel?"

"I don't know where he is. He said he'd pick me up later, but I hope he won't show up."

"Has he been staying at your place for the past few days?"

Zoe was furious at the mention of this as she replied, "I honestly have no idea what's on his mind. I've made it clear

to him, but he still refuses to leave. It's quite annoying to see him at home every day."

Leanna arched her brow without uttering a word.

Zoe sighed. "It's been half a month, Nana. I'll probably get the operation done in a few days. Can you come with

me? I think it'd be the best decision for both of us."

Leanna asked, "Does Daniel share the same sentiment?"

"He hasn't said anything, but I believe that's his intention since he's been hesitating for such a long time. I don't

want this to drag on any longer. I think he's only forced to take care of me because of the child. By getting the

operation done, both of us can be relieved sooner."

Leanna had no idea what to say. A moment later, she managed, "Okay."

Zoe went on to say, "By the way, why are you here in the studio today?"

Leanna fished out the design drafts from her bag. "These need to be sent to the factory."

The drafts included the designs used to participate in the fashion week and the new products they would launch

pretty soon.

Zoe replied, "Alright, I'll ask someone to send the drafts to the factory later. By the way, it's been a long time since

we started running this studio, and I've had nothing to do at home recently. Why don't we open an online shop?

That will help promote our brand and grow our business."

Leanna nodded. "Sure."

"I'll put up a notice to hire some people who will be responsible for handling the online business."

After giving it some thought, Leanna said, "If we want to run an online shop, the current studio is too small."

Zoe realized the problem as well. Besides the shop lot, their studio also included the lounge, office, and pantry.

There wasn't enough space to store more products.

Since they wanted to run an online shop, they had to ensure they would have enough stocks irrespective of their

sales figure.

The remaining items could be sold through other means, but if they only asked the factory to produce the items

upon receiving orders, they couldn't possibly fulfill the customers' needs. That would only tarnish their reputation.

Suddenly thinking of something, Zoe turned to Leanna, only to realize the other woman was also staring at her.

They said simultaneously, "Why don't we rent the shop beside ours as well?"

Since they both shared the same sentiment, they contacted the person in charge of the shop beside theirs at once.

Leanna spent the entire afternoon dealing with this matter. It was already evening when she finally signed the

contract.

Zoe stretched her back. "Why don't we go and eat something spicy, Nana?"

Leanna asked, "Can you have spicy food?"

"I asked the doctor about it, and he said that it's fine as long as I do so moderately. I've been having bland food for

a few days, and I can't put up with it any longer. Please come with me."

Leanna smiled. "Alright."

She fished out her phone and realized there were still no messages from Aidan. Zoe touched the other woman with

her elbow. "Is it Aidan? Why don't you ask him to come along? As long as I can have spicy food, I don't mind letting

your man tag along."

"It's not him," Leanna explained. "Something happened to his company yesterday, and he went over to deal with it

immediately. He hasn't contacted me since then, so I have no idea what's going on with him."

Zoe was surprised. "Do you want to go over and have a look, then?"

Leanna shook her head. "There's no need for that. I asked Jonathan about it, and he said it wasn't a big deal. I

suppose he's been busy attending meetings, which is why he hasn't contacted me. I'll drop him a message later."

"Alright. Let's go, then."

…

In the Pearson Family Estate's living room, not long after the servants cleaned up the dinner's leftovers, a

subordinate came over in a hurry and said, "Something has happened, Sir."

Gordon got to his feet with the walking stick's help. "What's wrong? Why do you look anxious?"

"Young Master Aidan is back…"

An unperturbed Gordon retorted, "Isn't it normal that he's back? Has he brought bombs or something?"

Beside him, Sienna was expressionless. The subordinate whispered, "He's brought Miss Anna with him…"

Gordon was flabbergasted. "What did you just say?" Anna is supposed to be dead. How is it possible that she's

back?

Sienna questioned, "Are you mistaken? Is she really Anna?"

"Yes, I have no doubt she is Miss Anna, but…"

Gordon urged him by saying, "Go on."

Before the subordinate could reply, a voice was heard coming from outside the house. "Since you're curious, why

don't you see it for yourself?"

The next moment, Aidan appeared in the living room.

When Gordon looked up and saw Aidan, he tried to suppress his fury. However, the moment he saw Anna getting

pushed into the place, his pupils dilated involuntarily. Sienna's expression changed drastically. "What have you done

to her?!"

Presently, Anna was no longer as haughty as before. Her hair was a mess, and there wasn't a part of her face that

was intact as it was covered with wounds. One of her arms was limp as though it had been fractured. What was

more horrifying was that she was wheelchair-bound. Even though there was a quilt over her lower body, it looked

hollow.

Aidan sat down on the couch and said slowly, "Calm down. I never did anything to her."

Then, Aidan lifted his hand, after which Jonathan stepped forward and explained, "Anna was found guilty of a

murder case and sentenced to 20 years in jail. She was then sent to Weavside Women's Prison. While in jail, she

repeatedly cursed at and attacked the prison guards and cellmates. She also attempted to flee from prison. During

the process, she jumped from the third floor to evade pursuit. As a result, she broke her legs and one arm. Due to

the severity of her injury, the doctors decided to amputate her legs."

Sienna felt a chill running down her spine as she stared at Aidan. "It was your arrangement, wasn't it?"

Aidan sneered. "If it had been up to me, she would've ended up way worse."

Gordon clenched his walking stick and roared, "That's ridiculous! You've crossed the line!"

"Have I crossed any lines? Shouldn't you ponder on why she never repented in jail and still provoked others? Had

she realized she was in the wrong, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state."

Gordon cried, "She's your cousin! You…"

"My cousin?" Aidan said slowly, but his voice tinged with a coldness. "When she pushed Leanna down the stairs back

then, she should have realized what the consequences would be. In fact, she should've been killed, but I was

magnanimous enough to spare her life. Isn't that enough?"
