Chapter 482

Many youngsters were at the rock climbing gym, and they recognized Leanna. Then, they looked at the

person beside her. Although they couldn't see Aidan's face clearly, they were able to guess since

Leanna was hugging him tightly. At that moment, they were shrieking while taking pictures of them.

Never would Leanna have expected such a thing to happen. At that moment, she buried her face into

Aidan's embrace and whispered, "Hurry up and get me down!"

Aidan wrapped one of his arms around her and said casually, "Of course, but are you forgetting

something?"

Hearing his words, Leanna gritted her teeth and said, "You are doing this on purpose."

"How can you say that? Aren't you the one who pushed me up here?"

"That…" Just as Leanna was going to say something, she realized that this wasn't the best place to

talk. Then, she pinched Aidan's waist secretly and said, "Hurry up!"

Aidan groaned quietly and whispered in her ear, saying, "Babe, did I ever tell you that a man's waist is

not to be simply touched?"

Judging by his words, it seemed that he wasn't going to go down any time soon.

Seeing that the atmosphere between them was getting hotter and even more people were gathering

down there, Leanna couldn't get those words out of her mouth. Then, she said, "Why don't we do it at

home?"

"When have you ever kept your promise?"

"I swear that I will keep it this time."

Hearing her words, Aidan looked at her and seemed to be in thought. Then, he said, "If you promise to

call me 'honey' every day when we get home, I might consider it."

This b*stard is pushing his luck, thought Leanna.

Before she could object, Aidan said, "What do you think?"

"You didn't even give me time to think about it." Leanna huffed exasperatedly.

"It's not me, it's them."

At this moment, many people were gathering together down there. Moreover, they were spending way

too much time up here. If the photos were to be leaked out, Leanna didn't know far it would spread.

"Alright, I promise." She nodded her head.

Hearing her words, Aidan smiled and tugged on the rope. At the same time, he said to her, "Hold on

tight."

Initially, Leanna was already hugging him tightly. When she heard his words, she instantly closed her

eyes and wrapped her arms around him tightly. After mere seconds, she felt her whole body falling.

Soon, her feet touched the ground, and she quickly released Aidan as she breathed out a sigh of relief.

While putting away the equipment, Aidan asked with a smile, "Are you throwing me away after using

me?"

However, Leanna ignored him.

At this moment, a staff member came up and said, "How should we settle this, President Pearson?"

"It's fine. Tell them that I'll pay for everything tonight and they can keep the photos. Just don't share it in

public," said Aidan as he turned around and looked at Leanna.

When Leanna heard his words, she wondered if he had lost his mind. After all, who would have the

spare time to admire such a thing?

The staff hummed in response and evacuated the crowd.

Then, Aidan took a glance at the time and said, "Do you want to watch a movie?"

"No, thanks, I'll pass," replied Leanna.

"Why?"

"You said that we are here to relax, but I feel more upset than before."

Hearing her words, Aidan raised his eyebrow and said, "Is that so? Why do I feel like you are in a good

mood?"

At that moment, Leanna couldn't help but kick him in the leg before turning around and leaving.

Aidan trailed behind her and held her hand as he spoke. "Let's go home."

After such an eventful day, Leanna didn't realize she was mentally exhausted when she was already

physically tired. All she wanted to do right now was to take a hot shower and lie comfortably in bed.

On the road back, Daniel gave her a call, saying that the funeral had ended. If it weren't for them, this

matter would've been troublesome, and they would need to waste a lot of time dealing with it.

After thinking for some time, Leanna gripped the phone and said, "Jethro is dead."

On the other end of the phone, Daniel didn't expect to hear such news. Thus, he paused for mere

seconds before saying, "Did you see his body?"

Leanna hummed in response and replied, "Yes. The police said that it was a suicide attempt, and the

forensic doctor is conducting an autopsy."

Hearing her words, Daniel was silent for a moment before he said, "Although he should have rotted in

hell, it's too easy for him to die just like this."

Leanna didn't say anything more. After chatting with Daniel for a while, she hung up the phone.

Just as she kept her phone away, she heard Aidan's voice. "Do you think that they are the ones who

did it?" he asked.

"What?" Leanna was stunned.

"Jethro's death," replied Aidan.

Hearing his words, Leanna pursed her lips and nodded. To be honest, she didn't believe it when she

heard that a man like Jethro would kill himself. Hence, she thought about two possibilities. The first

possibility was that he had been murdered by someone lurking in the dark, while the second possibility

was that William had killed him. That was why she had told Daniel about it just now, wanting to see if

he knew anything about this. However, it seemed like he had no clue at all.

"It's normal for you to think that way. After all, Jethro would die hundreds of times for what he did," said

Aidan.

Leanna whispered, "It doesn't matter who the killer was because Jethro's death would alert everyone.

However, he died in prison, which meant that not many people could kill him. If…"

If she were William, she would have chosen to kill Jethro after sending him back to prison to avoid

making a stir.

Just as she thought about it, she heard Aidan's voice again. "Based on your understanding of him, do

you think he's the one behind this?"

When Leanna heard his words, she shook her head and felt lost. To be honest, she didn't know much

about William. She had met him several times, and he was always a gentleman. Unfortunately, it

seemed like she had underestimated him. He returned to get revenge, so he wouldn't be as innocent

as he looked. Moreover, even the kindest person would have a change of heart after going through

such a terrifying experience. Hence, how could William not change during the past 20 years he had

been waiting for?

After some time, Leanna said, "He isn't the killer."

"Oh? Why is that so?" asked Aidan.

"Even if he wanted to kill Jethro, he wouldn't choose to do it at a time like this. As you said, there are

still many unsolved questions about Jethro, so William wouldn't rush to kill him even if he loathed the

man. Moreover, Daniel's right; it would be a shame that he died so easily."

"You're right." Aidan smiled slightly.

"If that's the case, it would be those guys who killed Jethro." Leanna frowned.

"Since they chose to kill him at this moment, it could only mean that Jethro had something that they

were afraid of. That was why they wanted to kill him as soon as possible. It also proves that what we

had guessed about them was right," said Aidan.

When Leanna heard his words, she nodded and thought, He's right.

Seeing that she was frowning, Aidan curled his fingers and flicked them against her forehead. "Alright,

let's not think about this anymore. I think it's better if you think about what you promised me. After all,

it's too late to take your words back now."
