Chapter 124 She Deserves the Fate Brought Upon Her
Looking at the jewelry box scattered around her feet, Leanna saw the necklace inside the box had been broken into two pieces and was strewed on the ground.
While she was looking at the broken necklace on the ground, Georgina came back to her senses at this moment. She quickly looked at Anna and said, “Anna, what are you doing—”
However, Anna swiftly interrupted Georgina before she could continue inquiring about her action. “Georgina, this woman faked her pregnancy and forced Aidan to marry her. She’s also the woman who tried every means to seduce Zayn!”
Georgina defended Leanna upon hearing that. “No, McK isn’t someone with such a nature. Anna, could it be that you misunderstood?”
Considering that she hated Leanna so much, Anna let out a sarcastic laugh when she heard Georgina defend her. Nevertheless, despite her sarcastic laugh directed at Georgina’s remarks, her eyes were looking at Leanna while she talked, “Say: you’re good at pretending. Do you think others won’t know what kind of trash you are in your core under that layer of facade you put on?”

“Uh—”
Leanna slowly turned around and looked at Anna with a calm demeanor. “What trash am I in my core?”
In contrast with Leanna’s calm demeanor, Anna was a little agitated when she saw Leanna being able to calmly refute her words. Therefore, she reprimanded her out of frustration, “Are you not aware of it yourself? After you and Aidan got divorced, you started pestering Zayn. Not only that, you’re still pestering Zayn even now after he and I are already engaged. Are you really unable to live a life without men?”
Still, Leanna remained her composure and smiled calmly. “Do you think you two can still get engaged if I truly pestered Zayn?”
Anna uttered in anger, gritting her teeth, “Finally, you admit it!”

“What’s there that I can’t admit? You’re just afraid that I will snatch Zayn from you. How about I fulfill your fear now since you’re so afraid?”
“You—”
At this juncture, Anna was enraged. She raised her hand and wanted to whack Leanna. Yet, Georgina stopped her just when her hand was inches away from Leanna. “Anna, don’t be impulsive.”
Sure enough, Anna knew she shouldn’t be reckless. Nonetheless, she was so enraged that she was no longer rational at this moment. “You heard her. She can even spew such shameless words out of her mouth. She deserves the fate brought upon her!”

Georgina frowned upon hearing those harsh words. “There’s a big occasion going on today. Not to mention, both Mr. and Mrs. Barnett are present too. Things won’t be any good to you if things are blown out of proportion.”

In reality, she suddenly remembered that Aidan was also inside the hall. Compared to Mr. and Mrs. Barnett, she was actually more afraid of Aidan. He certainly won’t let me go if he knows that I lay my hand on Leanna. With that in mind, Anna withdrew her hand, but she immediately cast a furtive glance at Leanna’s belly as her mind started scheming something else. At this moment, a bustling voice suddenly came from the banquet hall. Georgina’s subordinates came over and whispered a few words in her ear. As she listened, her facial expression changed slightly. Then, she turned around and wanted to return to the hall. Regardless, she looked at Leanna after she took a step forward. “Miss McK, I may need to trouble you to come with me. There’s something wrong with

In line with the discussion, Lux Jewelry would exhibit its jewelry pieces in order. Nevertheless, something happened when it was the turn to auction Leanna’s works. Not only did Harvey’s expression look slightly nasty, Queenie even stepped forward and asked in confusion, “Isn’t this the jewelry piece that I privately customized for Miss Crossley?” Although her voice wasn’t loud, the words that escaped her mouth still caused quite a stir in the quiet banquet hall. When the guests who attended the auction heard Queenie’s words, they started discussing and whispering, “What is Lux doing? Are they actually taking out a custom-made necklace for auction?!” “This isn’t right. Isn’t it McK’s works that are being auctioned now? How could it be—what the hell is going

At this moment, no one was more anxious than Harvey after hearing these discussions. If my memory serves me right, I swear I had double-checked until I confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the jewelry before they were delivered to the charity auction site.
He was confident that he didn’t make any possible mistakes, so he quickly went to look for Queenie. Once he found her, he frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”
When faced with Harvey’s inquiry, Queenie shook her head. “I don’t know either, but—it was yesterday that I realized the necklace was lost. I contacted Miss Crossley, and she said she didn’t take it. Mr. Mancini, I saw McK’s finished piece before, so this shouldn’t be her work.”
To Harvey’s surprise, Queenie actually would justify the situation for McK. Therefore, he was silent for a moment.
Frankly speaking, Harvey had always thought that Queenie was the biggest suspect in this matter.
Now that Queenie clarified on behalf of Leanna, Harvey looked at her thoughtfully. He found that Queenie was calm with no trace of a guilty conscience.
So, he believed that Queenie was truly innocent in this matter, and he said, “You and I, we’ll go to Barnett Group’s side and explain the situation to them. We’ll try our best to minimize the impact of this incident.”
