Chapter 175

​​Then I Can Refuse to Answer Too The next afternoon, Leanna had just finished eating and was about to enter the office when a call from an unknown number appeared on her phone. After her experience from the previous day, she looked at her phone and hesitated for a while before picking up without saying anything, preparing to hang up as soon as she heard that b*stard’s voice coming from the other end. She would never give him a chance to threaten her. Unexpectedly, what she heard was the voice of an unfamiliar man. “Hello, Miss McKinney, I’m from the moving company. Are you at home now? We’ve already arrived downstairs at your house.” She was puzzled. “Moving company? I’m not moving at all.”

“Yes, let me verify again. You’re Leanna, Miss McKinney, right?” She frowned. “Who called you?” “I’m sorry, Miss McKinney, it only shows your name, address and contact information.” Leanna fell silent before she took a deep breath. “In that case, please wait for me. I’ll come back now.” After hanging up, she kept her phone and exited her office. Seeing that, Zoe asked, “Nana, where are you going?” “The moving company called me and said that they’re already downstairs, so I’m going back.” “Huh? Let me come with you.” Leanna refused. “It’s all right, I’ll go back alone.” A girl was already on leave today and another had gone for lunch. If she left, Zoe would be the only one left in the studio. After a moment of deliberation, Zoe handed the car keys to her. “All right, go and see what’s going on. If anything comes up, just give me a call.”

home in just a few minutes. When she opened the car door, she saw the moving company’s car parked nearby. They had also spotted her and instantly walked over. “Are you Miss McKinney?” She nodded. The man waved his colleague over, who dragged a large box over on a cart. “Miss McKinney, please sign here. We’ll bring it up for you.” She asked, “Do you have a blade that I can borrow?” “Here.” She used the blade to cut through the tape around the box. When she saw that it was filled with clothes and not

name written all over it. After a few moments of silence, she gave in. “Bring it upstairs.” “Thank you, Miss McKinney!” “Miss McKinney, you’re the best!” When she returned to the studio, Zoe saw that Leanna looked completely exhausted and couldn’t help but ask, “Nana, what happened?” She shook her head weakly and forced a smile on her face as she returned the car keys to her. “I’m going to continue drafting.” Sitting at her desk, she forced herself to cheer up and not easily lose her spirit over some mild difficulties. It was precisely because she knew that b*stard was deliberately

and took out a ruby necklace, her eyes lighting up at the sight. “Wow, I’ve seen this necklace at a photography exhibition before. Apparently it’s worth tens of millions. How did it get stuffed in a box like this? Is Aidan crazy or am I the one who’s lost my mind?” Leanna, who was nestling on the couch, glanced up, thinking that the necklace seemed a little familiar. It was

that b*stard would actually be generous enough to give you such pricey gifts.” After a moment of deliberation, Leanna picked up her phone before getting up. “Zoe, I’m going to make a phone call.” She said through a bite of strawberry, “Go on.” As she walked to the balcony, she found Aidan’s number from her blocklist and called him. Within a few seconds, he picked up, and his indifferent voice sounded from the other end. “Speak.” She said, “President Pearson, stop sending things over. I don’t need any of them.” Hearing that, he paused. “You don’t need them?” “Yes…” Before she could finish, he continued, “Leanna, you’re overthinking it.
