Chapter 363
Once she was back in her room, Leanna locked the door and sat at the table as she read the terms of
the share transfer in detail.
However, despite flipping through it a few times, she couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Leanna felt her eyes getting weary from the reading, so she put down the document and went into the
bathroom to shower.
After getting out, she opened up the draft she brought back and continued working on it.
By the time she had finished the base draft, it was already dawn.
Leanna stretched and looked at her phone. She realized that Aidan had called her twice about an hour
ago.
She replied to him with a message, 'What?'
Aidan typed back, 'Why didn't you pick up?'
Leanna replied, 'I was working on my design.'
She thought for a bit, then continued typing.
'Are you still at the company?' she asked.
Aidan replied, 'Yes, I'm still in a meeting.'
Leanna retorted, 'In that case, how did you call me?'
Aidan explained, 'We had a ten-minute break just now.'
Leanna sent, '...'
She then continued, 'Focus on your meeting, then. I'm going to sleep.'
This b*stard can even divide his attention at a meeting.
Leanna lay on the bed as she scrolled through her phone. However, for some reason, she somehow
navigated to the photo she took of the child back when she was in Underwood Lane.
Leanna looked at the photos, the smile on her lips gradually widening.
So cute.
After looking at the photos, she flopped on the pillow and thought about everything that had happened
recently, as well as the scene when she first met the child.
Without realizing it, she fell asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her dreams, she heard someone calling her 'Mom', but the shadow was hazy, and she couldn't make
it out no matter how hard she tried.
Leanna was terribly anxious, but the more she tried to look for it, the more distant the voice sounded.
All of a sudden, she was startled awake.
Leanna sat on the bed and looked at the gloomy weather through the window, and she gradually heard
the sounds of rain.
She looked at the time. It was 7.30AM.
Leanna was shaken by the dream, and when she went to the toilet, she suddenly realized she was on
her period. She couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
Could it be that the b*stard was right? Was it just PMS?
After a hot shower, Leanna changed her clothes and went out.
After getting to the studio and putting down her designs, she went straight to the most famous law firm
in Highside.
After understanding her intentions, the receptionist brought her to an office. "Please wait here for a
moment. A lawyer will be here shortly."
"Okay."
Leanna had just taken her seat when the receptionist poured a cup of water for her.
She said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Our lawyer will be ready in five minutes."
With that, the receptionist went out.
Leanna looked at the huge office, her gaze falling upon the documents in front of her. She couldn't help
but frown.
What trap did Lloyd lay for her this time?
She really couldn't figure anything out.
Just when she was pondering, someone opened the door of the office. A man's voice sounded, "There
was an emergency on my way here. Sorry for making you wait—"
Leanna turned around and watched as the man tidied his hair while putting on his tie with one hand.
She was silent for a few seconds.
He probably just woke up with a hangover.
Freddie also didn't expect her, of all people, to come this early in the morning for law-related enquiries.
He immediately smiled and said, "Yes? Are you here to ask about divorce? If it is, I can be your lawyer
free of charge."
Leanna stood up. "Thanks, but no thanks."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Freddie hastily stopped her. "I'm here, aren't I? Where are you
going?"
"I suddenly… have some matters to attend to. We can talk later."
Freddie didn't believe her at all. Based on her expression, she was obviously thinking, 'I don't think I
can trust you enough, so I'm getting another lawyer.'
He said, "I am the ace lawyer in our law firm. You cannot find a more trustworthy lawyer in all of
Highside."
Leanna said, "Didn't you say that your family runs an entertainment company?"
"Yes, but that doesn't affect my job as a lawyer." With that, he sighed. "Perhaps I'm just the rich guy in
the legends who, even after failing at court, can still go home and inherit the hundreds of millions in
family property."
Leanna was speechless.
Freddie walked toward the office desk as he said, "There was an international case some time ago,
and I stayed in Sydon for a whole year before coming back. Oh, do have a seat. We're family, after all.
Make yourself at home."
Leanna smiled half-heartedly. Fine, she should just go along with it. If a huge law firm like this allowed
an incompetent lawyer into their ranks, they would only be ruining their own reputation.
She sat down in front of Freddie and pushed the document in her hand toward him. "I want you to help
me read through the terms of this share transfer."
Hearing that, Freddie seemed a little disappointed. "So it's not divorce?"
Leanna's eyelids twitched a little, but she had no intention of answering.
Freddie was as professional as he claimed. He quickly scanned through the document, then said,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"There's no problem with it. It's just a normal share transfer, and it will take effect as soon as you sign
it."
"So there are no hidden terms?"
"You can't really make anything out from this; you have to analyze it from various angles, mainly the
intentions behind the person who's transferring the shares to you." Freddie was halfway through his
speech when he suddenly remembered something. He paused, then flipped through the document
again, saying in surprise, "Crossley Group? Why would Lloyd want to transfer ten percent of his shares
to you?"
Leanna said half-heartedly, "Perhaps it's because of my looks."
"That's true… But that's—"
Leanna stood up again and took the document. "I got it, thanks."
With that, she was about to go out and pay the consultation fees.
Freddie said, "Hey, even though I can't analyze things for you from various angles, you'd better not sign
this share transfer. It's definitely a trap."
Leanna nodded, then thanked him again before leaving.
When the office door was closed, Freddie couldn't help but find it fishy. He had no idea how Aidan's
wife would be involved with Lloyd. He massaged his temples. He shouldn't have drunk so much last
night, for his brain was barely working.
He took out his phone and dialed Aidan's number, saying right off the bat, "Your wife talked to me."
Aidan said, "About the share transfer?"
Freddie was even more shocked now. "How did you know?"
"I already knew about it yesterday."
He had always been keeping an eye on Lloyd, so no matter the latter's movements, he would know
right away.
Aidan said, "Is something wrong with it?"
"No, which is why it's so weird. The share transfer is as simple as they come… By the way, what is
your wife's relationship with Lloyd? Only a biological daughter can be treated like this, right?"
"I'm hanging up."
Hearing the beep over the phone, Freddie felt that this right here was an insult to him.
He didn't believe it, so he turned on his computer and entered a few keywords to search.
In an instant, he felt as if he had opened the door to a whole new world.
