Chapter 256

Of course, Leanna was just being sarcastic. How could she really be so dumb as to go to the Crossleys

and ask about this? Wasn't that just as good as digging her own grave?

"When you run into Georgina in the future, just do as you always did in the past and don't argue with

her directly no matter what she says," Aidan said.

"Okay."

Rising to his feet, he flicked his finger on her forehead and chuckled. "Don't just say it without doing it.

Remember it."

Given Leanna's sharp tongue, Georgina was definitely not a match for her if she opened her mouth, but

the more she did this, the bigger the mess would get.

Unhappily, she swatted his hand away. "I got it. Have you ever thought about why she's always picking

on me?" It's because of you.

He raised his brows and tucked his hand into the pocket of his trousers. "I'm leaving. You don't have to

see me out."

"Don't worry. I wasn't planning to."

I wonder where this b*stard gets his confidence?

After Aidan left, Leanna cleaned up the living room. Zoe opened her door silently when Leanna was

about to return to her room. Sticking her head out, she asked softly, "Is President Pearson gone?"

"Yeah."

Only then did Zoe breathe a sigh of relief and come out of the bedroom. Then, she nestled on the

couch and said pitifully, "My life is really losing its value. Nana, if I made President Pearson very mad

one day, you have to plead on my behalf that he will leave my body whole."

Speechless, Leanna sat next to her and said with a giggle, "You're exaggerating."

"I swear that I won't try to match you up with Elijah anymore," Zoe said in a serious tone. "I always get

caught red-handed. Maybe this is all fated." She sighed and added, "What did you speak about earlier?

That took quite a while and I couldn't hear a single word from my room."

At the mention of this, Leanna was quiet for a few seconds before saying, "He said that maybe my real

father knows Lloyd Crossley."

Zoe's eyes widened at that. "Really?"

Leanna nodded, then briefly told her the things that Aidan had said earlier.

A look of utter disbelief washed over Zoe's face after hearing everything, and she only spoke after a

while. "The moment I saw Georgina, I just knew that she's a meanie, and she finally showed her true

colors now. Like father, like daughter. Both of them are mean!" A short pause later, she asked, "Nana,

what are you going to do now?"

A soft sigh escaped her lips, and she looked forward listlessly. "I don't know either. I'll take it one step at

a time."

If what Aidan said was true, then Lloyd must be watching her every move now. In addition, after what

happened at Mr. Jackson's party tonight, the Crossleys now had a proper reason to deal with her.

Zoe sighed. "No wonder you didn't want to look for your real father before this. Looks like it was the

right choice. Otherwise, Georgina and Lloyd would never have targeted you."

In reply, Leanna shook her head. "Even if I didn't, I have a feeling that the truth will surface eventually.

It's just a matter of time."

"That's true. The cat will be out of the bag sooner or later. Seems like everything is destined."

"Don't mention any of this to Louis," Leanna reminded.

Hearing that, Zoe slapped her own head. "You're right. My brains are no good. Rest assured, I'll keep

my mouth shut and promise you that I won't breathe a word about it."

Louis wanted to help her find her real father with good intentions in his heart. If he knew that all this

started because he began the search and Leanna was placed in jeopardy, that would only cause him to

be in deep guilt.

Earlier, Zoe was only saying it casually, and she didn't consider this point at all.

Standing up, Leanna said, "Alright, it's getting late. Wash up and go to bed early."

Zoe nodded. "You go on ahead. I want to watch the TV for a while."

"Sure."

After that, Leanna returned to her room, grabbed her clothes, and went to the bathroom. A few minutes

later, Zoe heard their doorbell ringing. At first, she thought that it was Aidan who had turned back, and

she walked over on tenterhooks. However, she saw that it was Daniel standing outside when she

checked the monitor.

She couldn't help but purse her lips and only opened the door after some hesitation.

When the door swung open and Daniel saw that it was her, he was clearly a little stunned before

saying, "Is Miss McKinney home yet? I'm looking for her."

"Yeah, she's home but in the shower now," Zoe said.

"Okay, I'll come back afterward."

Zoe didn't plan to invite him inside either, and when she was about to shut the door, he suddenly said,

"I bought some cakes on the way home and I remember you like cakes. Would you like some?"

Giving him a perfunctory laugh, she said, "Thanks, but I can't have sugar because I'm on a diet."

Without saying anything else, Daniel nodded and left.

Meanwhile, Zoe closed the door and returned to the couch. The bathroom door opened and Leanna

strode out while drying her hair with a towel. "Zoe, who were you talking to?"

"Daniel. He was looking for you." Then, she added, "He also bought some cakes and asked if I would

like some. Say, this guy is weird, isn't he? The minute you ignore him, that's when he becomes

interested instead."

For two seconds, Leanna stood rooted in the same spot before returning to the bathroom. "I'll dry my

hair first before going to look for him."

Actually, she didn't even need to think to know the reason Daniel came to look for her; it had to be

related to Georgina.

It wasn't a problem if this happened in the past because Leanna didn't care about any of that at all, but

things were different now. She had to know what was the connection between Daniel, Georgina and

Lloyd. Only by knowing the enemy could she prevent the unexpected.

After blow-drying her hair, she put on a jacket and pressed the doorbell next door.

Soon, Daniel appeared before her eyes, and she smiled gently.

"Zoe told me that you were looking for me."

He nodded. "I think I owe you an apology for what happened today."

"Are you saying this on Georgina's behalf?"

"No."

Surprised, she uttered, "So…"

"I'm not apologizing for anyone. I just want to apologize to you."

The plan tonight was targeted at Lloyd, but because of the feud between Georgina and Leanna,

Leanna was dragged into this matter. Hence, he felt bad about this.

Leanna chuckled. "If that's the case, all the more reason for you not to apologize because I don't see

why you should."

Pursing his lips, Daniel didn't say anything, and she asked, "If you don't mind, may I ask you a private

question, Mr. Daniel?"

"Go ahead."

"Why did you do what you did even though you clearly know about the marriage arrangement between

Georgina and the Pearson Family?"
