Chapter 658 You Can Pay Up and Unveil the Mystery Ahead of Time

On the other side, Leanna called Chloe to thank her after seeing Highside Daily post the clarification audio

recording.

Her call with Chloe had just ended when Daphne called Leanna.

"Thank you for what you did today," Daphne said.

Leanna chuckled upon hearing that. "You're very welcome. It's not like I did much. I only pulled some strings."

Speaking of this, Daphne, as impressed as she was, couldn't help but ask, "How did you get in contact with

Theodore's ex-wife anyway? You even got her to clear things up for me. My team contacted her as well three years

ago, but she didn't say much then."

"I asked someone to look into Theodore this afternoon, and I found out that Crossley Group has a recent

collaborative project with his ex-wife's company. And so, I gave her a call. She and Theodore are divorced now. She

knows her priority."

"Damn, that's amazing. Were you the one who contacted Highside Daily as well?"

"I made acquaintance with a reporter who works for them. She's a nice person, and she has a sense of justice.

Instead of posting clarifications, I thought it would be more persuasive for a reporter who has authority to report

this."

That put a smile on Daphne's face. "I owe you one. I'll buy everyone a meal when I'm done filming."

"Sure!"

Daphne was quiet for a few seconds before she hesitantly asked, "You didn't look for Theodore, did you?"

"Nope. I knew he was up to no good when I saw him in the exhibition hall today. It would've been a waste of time if I

talked to him. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing much. It's just that he posted an apology letter just now."

"Did Aidan get someone to do it?"

"I asked Jonathan, but he wasn't sure either… Forget it, it's no big deal. But it's late now. I won't disturb your rest

any longer."

Leanna hummed in reply. "Alright. Bye-bye!"

After hanging up, Leanna didn't put down her phone. Sure enough, she saw Theodore's apology letter on the

trending topics page.

Leanna would have thought that Theodore was genuinely repenting after she read his apology letter and that he

wanted to turn over a new leaf after he acknowledged his mistake… That was, if Leanna hadn't seen him this

afternoon.

However, Theodore's attitude earlier today was completely different from the tone in his letter.

Leanna couldn't make sense of the letter no matter how long she spent thinking about it. Something felt amiss.

A few minutes later, she took her phone again and called Louis.

His voice only rang out from the other end of the call when the call almost got cut off automatically. "Hey."

"Where are you?"

"I just got out of my shower," he replied. "What is it?"

Judging from how quiet his end was, she guessed that he was at home.

She then sounded him out. "What did you do today?"

"I filmed. And I came home after I was done."

"That's all?"

"Well, I went to the mall and got some stuff."

"Okay, then." Leanna didn't think anything was off when she heard the words. "It's nothing important, but I called to

ask if you want to come over for dinner tomorrow. Since it's Sunday and all."

Instead of answering immediately, Louis stayed silent for a few seconds on the other end of the call.

Leanna added, "Forget it if you got something going on tomorrow. We can do it next week."

"It's fine. I'll be there for dinner."

"Let Daphne know when you come over. Tell her to tag along. I won't be calling her to tell her, then?"

"Mhm, sure."

After putting down the phone, Louis picked up the cotton swab next to him again and dipped it in iodophor, which

he then applied to the wound on the bridge of his nose.

Leanna hung up the phone and went to take a shower when she heard movement outside the door.

Aidan had come home.

Leanna stood up and walked to the living room. "I bought spaghetti. Want some? I can cook for you."

Aidan only took off his coat which he tossed to the couch aside and stomped in her direction while he tugged on his

tie.

Leanna couldn't help but step backward when she saw this. Her back was soon pressed up against the wall as she

stammered, "W-What are you doing?"

He stared at her with deep black eyes and demanded in a low, hoarse voice, "What did you do today?"

"I went to see the jewelry exhibition, and... and I did a lot of other things. What exactly are you asking?"

He gently pinched her chin and drawled, "I heard someone talk about Mrs. Pearson having a glib tongue that she

left Theodore Frost and Tina Anderson speechless and that it's no wonder President Pearson is a henpecked

husband."

Leanna didn't reply at first, but she eventually let out a cough before calmly replying, "Mrs. Pearson was only acting

as she normally does, no?"

Aidan swiftly lowered his head and bit her lip. He only backed away when he heard her groan in pain. "Didn't I tell

you to run as far as you can if you ever encounter something like this? Why the hell would you get yourself

involved?"

"There were too many people around for them to do anything to me anyway."

"They can't do anything to you in front of so many people, but how do you know what they could be planning in

private? It's better to offend a forgiving person than someone who would hold a grudge."

Leanna knew that Aidan didn't want her to fall into any trap and become the target of public criticism again.

Without refuting, she nodded and uttered, "I got it."

Hearing that, he flicked her on the forehead with a finger. "You're just saying that for the sake of it. I bet you'll do

the exact same thing next time."

How did he guess that? she thought to herself.

It wasn't that she wanted to get involved. She couldn't possibly just turn a blind eye to Charlotte getting bullied and

Daphne being targeted like what happened today.

Aidan seemed to know what was on her mind. He muttered under his breath, "I'm not telling you to stay on the

sidelines. You have to read the situation. Worry about others only after you are sure you are safe."

Leanna nodded in agreement. "Mmkay."

"Forget it…" Aidan sounded somewhat hesitant after hearing her reply. "You can do anything you want as long as

you have me."

I knew he would buy it. The corners of Leanna's lips raised ever so slightly. She then pushed him on the shoulders.

"Alright, you should wash up. I'll make you some spaghetti."

"Please bring me my clothes," he said as he strode into the bathroom.

"Got it. You go in."

After she turned around to fetch the water and turn on the heater, she went to the bedroom to get Aidan his

pajamas which she placed outside the bathroom door. When she was done, she went to the kitchen to take the

spaghetti to start cooking.

Aidan came out of the bathroom right when Leanna was done cooking. Droplets of water were still dripping from

his damp, dark hair.

"That reminds me," Leanna brought up, "I asked Louis and Daphne to dinner here tomorrow. Will you be home?"

Aidan only spoke after a few seconds. "Louis said yes?"

"Uh-huh." She turned to look at him. "Why do you ask?"

Eyebrows raised, he pulled a chair out and sat down. "Nothing much."

"Are you hiding something from me?" Her eyes were still on him.

He raised his hands to show that he was innocent. "It has got nothing to do with me. Louis is coming over

tomorrow, isn't he? You can ask him then."

Leanna pouted. "Take your time eating. I'm going to bed."

She had just taken a step when he grabbed her by the wrist and suggested meaningfully, "Actually, you can pay up

and unveil the mystery ahead of time."

"Ah… Thanks, but that's not necessary."
