Love's Change of Heart

tightened his grip on the pen and suddenly voiced out, "Leanna, I'm going to give you one

last chance. Is the pregnancy true?"

She paused in her movement and lifted her head to look at him with a smile. "I thought

that you saw the pregnancy test report I showed you?"

Under the sun, her bright smile felt quite glaring.

For a moment there, Aidan could not seem to tell the extent of the sincerity of her smile.

His voice gradually turned cold. "Three years ago, you showed me the same thing too and

I trusted you back then."

Suddenly, there was a slight change in Leanna’s expression. The smile on her face waned

slightly and she did not even bother to rebuke his words. Instead, she merely said, "You've

remembered to use protection every single time."

That was exactly the reason why he was unable to tolerate her repeated lies and

exploitations.

If she had suddenly changed her words and admitted that she had lied to him about being

pregnant, then he would easily find it within himself to forgive her once more. However,

she was totally unrepentant and repeated the same mistake again. He retracted his gaze

and scrawled his name with a flourish on the bottom of the page.

After Leanna walked out of the Civil Bureau Affairs, she carefully stored the divorce papers

before interlacing her fingers together. With a smile, she mentioned, "Aidan, happy

divorce day."

Aidan merely glanced at her expressionlessly.

She piped up again, "President Pearson, in order to show that we went through an

amicable divorce, shouldn't you wish me a happy divorce as well right now?"

"You can enjoy it all by yourself then."

After he had said that, he strode off immediately and bent down to enter the Rolls-Royce

parked in front.

She raised her eyebrows and took out the divorce papers from her bag before voicing out

solemnly, "Leanna, I wish you a happy divorce."

Regardless of how badly Aidan misunderstood her and reckoned that she had plotted to

gain this divorce, right now, she had finally completed the final process. Overtime, it

would be proven that she simply wanted a divorce; that was all.

In the afternoon, Leanna arrived at Lux Magazine.

She had turned up this time to discuss with Harvey the subsequent products to be

released in the 'First Love' series. The first three items released in this series were big hits.

Lux had intended to make full use of the popularity from this series and come up with

subsequent designs.

Halfway through their meeting, one of their staff suddenly walked in and spoke softly in

Harvey's ears. His expression changed slightly before he got up to tell Leanna, "There's

been an urgent situation, so I'll have to go out for a moment."

Leanna nodded. "Sure."

Harvey had just walked off and Leanna suddenly sensed a commotion outside the meeting

room. The people out there had different expressions on their faces and some of them

even glanced in her direction as they discussed amongst themselves. She could clearly

sense their mocking and speculative looks through the glass walls.

Because of that, she immediately sent a text message to Zoe to ask what was going on.

Even after waiting for more than ten minutes, she did not get a response from Zoe at all.

At that point, Leanna had a niggling sense that something major must have occurred.

Half an hour ago, the number of preorders for the jewelry pieces in the 'First Love' series,

which had been increasing steadily, suddenly halted. Subsequently, there was a sharp

decline in the pre-orders. Furthermore, there were a huge number of people who

requested a refund.

In order to ensure their production numbers to be maintained, Lux Jewelry had contacted

several sub-contractors to operate all of their factories at the same time; the

subcontracted factories had also started working overnight to come up with the final

product after the press conference yesterday. If the influx in requests for refunds persisted

at this stage, it would definitely be a huge financial loss to Lux Jewelry.

The main reason for this to be happening came from a post that appeared on the Internet

one hour ago.

This was different from everyone's selfish guesses last night and the post had listed out a

detailed description of the timing and occurrences of it. As such, the credibility of this post

was well-proven.

The post pointed out that the reason for the sudden disappearance of the newly-appointed

designer for Lux Jewelry, McK, three years ago was because—

'After she won the competition, she swiftly became entangled with a wealthy man. After

she realized that the man was married, she didn't give up but schemed hard and ended up

getting pregnant instead. Subsequently, she turned up at the person's house with a child

in her womb and forced him to marry her. The wife of the wealthy man couldn't stand the

humiliation, so she divorced the man. That's why McK succeeded in marrying him.'

'But then, not long after climbing up the social ladder, she somehow lost the child she was

carrying out of the blue. The man sensed that he had been tricked, so he gave her the

cold shoulder from then on and refused to acknowledge her presence. He started to seek

the company of other women outside. The reason for her appearance this time is because

the wealthy man has completely lost interest in her, therefore, he told her to pack her

belongings and leave.'

At the end of the post, there was another statement issued stating that after Lux Jewelry

officially appointed her and signed the employment contract with her, the first series that

they came up with was a grave insult to the term 'first love'. In the post, it was stated that

McK was a corrupted person lacking morality. She was a homewrecker for going after a

married man, so she did not have the right to mention anything about first love nor did

she have the right to be a jewelry designer.

Although Leanna was not part of the entertainment industry, Lux Jewelry remained widely

known in the country for being a top magazine. They had collaborated with plenty of top

celebrities in the country, hence the magazine was practically a part of the entertainment

business.

Furthermore, they were currently in this informational age where even the most mundane

topic could end up being viral. There were always plenty of nosy people widely interested

in the affairs of others.

'I used to love the First Love series and I bought all three designs in their initial release. I

can't believe that their designer is such a horrible person. I'm so disgusted by that!

Luckily, I applied for a refund almost instantly after the news broke.'
