I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 125 I’m Not Interested in Handling This Matter
However, the door of the VIP lounge opened just as Douglas was about to leave after he finished speaking those words.
Startled by this sudden interruption, everyone in the VIP lounge looked to the door. They saw it was Aidan. Meanwhile, he stood by the door indifferently and said, “As the organizer of this event, Barnett Group also has an inescapable responsibility when something goes wrong. Mr. Barnett, are you just going to let it be?”
When Douglas saw him, his facial expression became even more awful. “President Pearson, based on your words, are you implying that you will interfere in this matter?”
“Mr. Barnett, you’ve misunderstood. I was just passing by, that’s all.”
As soon as Aidan spoke those words, the exclusive VIP lounge went as silent as the dead night.
Since Harvey was the only one among all those in the lounge who knew Aidan’s reason for showing up wasn’t as simple as him passing by, he coughed to break the silence. Then, he stepped forward and said, “Mr. Barnett, I can guarantee that there were no problems with the jewelry before they were delivered. In fact, the staff had been keeping an eye on them all the way and didn’t leave their side for even a short while. Hence, I have to apologize for troubling you to ask the hotel to cooperate with us by letting us retrieve the surveillance footage.”

Even so, Douglas was still unwilling to reason with Harvey. So, he said impatiently, “Are you asking me to leave so many of my guests unattended for the sake of a woman with a horrible reputation?”
Before Harvey could say anything, Aidan’s emotionless voice sounded this time. “Mr. Barnett, you may be unaware of this. But your son, Zayn, almost ruined the engagement with the Pearson Family because of this woman you said has a horrible reputation.”
Instantly, Douglas’ facial expression stiffened. At that moment, he no longer had the mood to put Aidan off with fair words. “What did you say?”
At the same time, Queenie stood in the corner of the lounge. When she heard Aidan’s words, the faint smile on her face became solemn, and she looked up inconceivably.
Does Leanna actually know the son of the Barnett Family?!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Douglas straightened his clothes when he heard the knock. Then, he took a deep breath before saying, “Come in.”
One after another, Leanna and Georgina’s figures came into his sight.

When Douglas saw these two showed up in the VIP lounge, his facial expression became even more awful. Although Georgina and Carly had a good relationship, the Barnett Family and the Crossley Family had no business dealings. Not to mention, Georgina attended tonight’s charity auction together with Aidan and disrupted all their plans.

Regardless, he didn’t expect Zayn to admit such a woman’s existence. Therefore, Douglas couldn’t help but have a little more repugnance in his eyes when he looked at Leanna. Still, Leanna ignored Douglas’ unfriendly demeanor and began politely, “Hello, Mr. Barnett. I’m here to explain the matters regarding the auction—” As expected, Douglas bluntly cut her off halfway through her sentence. “You don’t have to say more. I have made my decision

and held Aidan’s arm. Then, with a smile, she said, “By the way, I forgot to introduce you to my partner. McK, meet my fiancé, the president of Pearson Group.” As she spoke, she looked at Aidan again. “Aidan, this is Lux Jewelry’s designer. I like the jewelry pieces she designed very much.” Aidan’s facial expression remained stony as he coldly uttered through his thin lips, “Really?” Georgina ignored the icy cold tone in his voice as she continued to reassure Leanna. “Don’t worry, McK. We’ll definitely help you to get to the bottom of this matter and get the justice you deserve.” The corner of Leanna’s lips twitched, and she suddenly didn’t know what to say. In reality, she was actually thinking

stunned for a few seconds before answering. “You’re too kind, Miss Crossley. It’s what I should do.” After Georgina left, Harvey said to Leanna, “Right now, the Barnett Group refuses to give us a chance to make an explanation to the public. But fret not; there is still a way. The situation should be salvageable as long as we can retrieve your work before the charity auction ends.” At
