Chapter 161

As she said that, she smiled in disdain. "I don't understand why he is wasting time on people like her."

"Where should we go now, Miss Crossley?"

"Home."

After half an hour, a black car slowly entered the Crossley Residence.

When she reached home, Llyod was sitting in the garden reading a newspaper. As soon as he heard

the noise, he lifted his head and asked, "Where have you been, Gina?"

She answered, "I… went shopping with my friend. Is there anything wrong, Dad?"

After putting down the newspaper, he drank a sip of tea and said, "Nothing. But since your engagement

with the Pearson Family has been called off, we have nothing to do with them anymore. So, don't go to

the Pearson Family Estate anymore."

Hearing that, she paused for a moment before saying, "Dad…"

"I am aware that Aidan's decision to break off the engagement has little to do with the Pearsons, but

rumors are dangerous. I don't want you to be the subject of rumors."

"I get it, Dad. I won't go to the Pearson Family Estate anymore."

When Llyod heard her answer, he nodded satisfyingly. "You can go and do your things."

At this moment, Georgina was pressing her lips together as though she wanted to say something, but

in the end, she still didn't say what she wanted to and went upstairs.

On the other hand, Llyod took up the newspaper again and started reading the financial news of the

day.

Since Pearson Group announced the dissolution of the engagement two months ago, Crossley Group

has put pressure on a number of cooperative firms and stalled in cooperation projects with them.

Previously, none of these companies would have dared to oppose the Pearson Group, but now that the

Crossley Group is on their side and a lot of them are affiliated, they are more confident.

He believed that this would have an adverse effect on Aidan and cause harm to the Pearson Group.

However, Aidan didn't care about them at all and changed the partner company right away. The whole

process was so fast and precise that they weren't prepared for that at all, as though he had planned

everything beforehand.

No one would like to go against someone like this.

Llyod snapped out of his thoughts and folded the newspaper. Just as he was ready to get up, he saw a

missing person's flier in the corner of the newspaper.

The moment he saw the photo published in the newspaper, there was disbelief written all over his face,

as though his poker face mask had cracked.

…

"What? You published the photo in newspapers? But there are only a handful of people who read

newspapers nowadays. Are you sure it'll work?"

Looking at Zoe's shocked expression, Louis answered calmly, "Let's just try first."

"So…" she lowered her voice. "Does your sister know about this?"

"I've told her and she didn't object."

Hearing that, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Luckily. I was afraid that she wouldn't agree."

Although Leanna seemed like she was easy to convince, she was actually quite stubborn. If she didn't

agree to something, no one could convince her no matter how hard they tried.

After she heaved a sigh of relief, she noticed that he was still looking depressed. So, she said, "Don't

worry, Louis. Of course, it's best if we could find him, but it's fine if we can't. No matter what, Nana is

still your sister."

His voice was still a little heavy. "I know."

While patting his back, she comforted him. "If you know, then don't be so dispirited anymore. We can't

choose how we're born, but our future is in our own hands. You're already an outstanding person. If

you're flawless, how do you think the others are going to think about themselves?"

Louis just remained silent.

At this moment, Daphne came back from outside and removed her face mask. "It seems like business

is quite good today. Where's Leanna?"

Zoe replied, "She's at the back organizing the clients' orders. By the way, I was worried that no one was

going to come here. You really have some wide connections, Daphne."

She just gave her a smile and didn't reveal to her that most of the people who came today were under

the Pearson Group.

Although she had invited many of her friends, most of them were either filming for dramas or out of

town for their schedules. It was impossible for them to rush here within a day.

As Zoe was talking, she started worrying. "But with all these orders today, we don't really have to worry

about our revenue for quite a long time already. It's gonna be so boring."

Hearing that, Daphne said, "Don't worry. This is just a start. All the clients today are introduced by

friends. Wait until the shop becomes well-known and there'll be more clients coming in. You'll have your

own exclusive brand by then. I can assure you that you won't feel bored at all."

"Sounds about right."

She looked at Louis and tilted her head a little. "Handsome, why are you ignoring me? We just met

yesterday. You've already forgotten?"

He put down the things in his hand and was just about to say something, but he was cut off by Zoe.

"Don't need to bother him. That's how he is. Otherwise, he would have a girlfriend already with such a

handsome face."

He didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Daphne raised her brows and nodded, agreeing with what she said.

As soon as Leanna came out of the office in the back, she heard the two of them teasing Louis and

couldn't help but laugh. "I'm done. Let's go eat."

However, Louis said, "I still have something to do in school. I'll head back first."

Hearing that, Zoe stopped him. "I thought you're on holiday. What is there for you to do? Also, are you

not worried about leaving your three beautiful sisters on their own? What if we meet some bad guys

when we're eating?"

…

At the same time, in the Pearson Family Estate, when Anna heard the word 'call off the engagement',

she jumped up at once and said hysterically, "No way! I don't agree!"

Justin explained, "Anna, I've told you before that two people should be in love to get married. You've

been engaged to Zayn for such a long time, but there's no progress in your relationship at all. It's

meaningless to keep dragging on like this."

"It's all Leanna's fault. That shameless woman. If it wasn't for her, Zayn has already…"

"Ask yourself. Even if Leanna is not in the picture, will Zayn fall for you with such a personality?" he

said sternly, "People should know when to stop, Anna. Look for the reason in yourself, and not just

simply blame others for your own mistake."

This was the first time he said such harsh words to her. Instantly, her eyes were reddened in anger, and

she turned to look at Sienna as though she was waiting for her rescue. "Aunt Sienna…"

However, Sienna didn't say a word and kept her poker face on as usual.

Unexpectedly, Gordon was the one who said, "I think he is right. Zayn doesn't like you. Even if you're

married to him and become a part of the Barnett Family, you won't be happy either."

"But that was not what you said previously, Uncle Gordon…"

"Before this, I thought that you'd change after you're married since you were still young. But from what I

see now, your personality just won't change. We might as well call off the engagement now rather than

let you stir the whole family into a tempest when you marry him."

Of course, he didn't suddenly become a sensible person. It was just because he has successfully

hooked up with Llyod and has received the strongest financial assistance. So, the Barnett Family was

useless to him now.
